The HTC Developer Edition isn’t actually transparent, unfortunately.

HTC has confirmed that the HTC One Developer Edition handset will be available to purchase on April 19 in the United States, priced at $649. Unlike the regular model, this one comes with an unlocked bootloader and SIM, in addition to open APIs. It also offers 64GB of storage as standard.

If you’re upgrading to the Samsung Galaxy S4 later this month, but you’re worried you may have to give up some of your tweaks and custom ROMs until it gets rooted, then worry no more. The eight-core Exynos 5 Octa version of the device has already been rooted before it even goes on sale.

On Tuesday, several members of the CyanogenMod group — all from the team that develops for Samsung devices — confirmed that they would not be developing custom CyanogenMod ROMs for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S4. The announcement led many to believe that CyanogenMod wouldn’t be coming to Samsung’s new flagship at all, but that possibility hasn’t been ruled out just yet.

CyanogenMod has since issued a statement on its Google+ page to say that it hasn’t ruled out support for the Galaxy S4 just yet, and it won’t be providing us with an official stance on the device until it launches.

If you’re a fan of CyanogenMod’s custom Android ROMs, then you may want to avoid the Samsung Galaxy S4 when it launches next month. CyanogenMod has confirmed that Team Hacksung, the group behind its Samsung ROMs, will not support the new flagship smartphone.

The HTC Developer Edition isn’t actually transparent, unfortunately.

If you’re planning to pick up the incredible new HTC One, but you want to ensure you’re going to be able to tinker with it and use any SIM from any carrier you choose, then you’re going to be delighted with HTC’s latest announcement. The company has unveiled the One Developer Edition, which comes with an unlocked SIM and bootloader for $649.
