HTC Hands Keys to Hero Kingdom Over to Developers

hero_kernelUp until now, developers looking to create a great Hero/Sense ROM have had a difficult time. With no open-source kernel to work with, anyone wanting to mod or customize a Hero build has has to work with limited resources. That will no longer be the case, thanks to HTC.

    These files have been available for awhile now. Xda-devs have been using them for updates and many ROMs they have cooked already have features/data integrated into the builds.
