With Galaxy S3 source code open, third party Android developers can now use parts of Touchwiz interface in their own distributions. Third party distributions of Galaxy S3 operating system may gain popularity like Cyanogenmod if users want phones with custom interface tweaks and without operator locks.

Samsung’s decision to make the source code available to open source community is welcomed by many, and should be followed by other big smartphone vendors. The source code can be downloaded from Samsung website.
