Good Potential Targets¶

Good Targets
A good potential target for Replicant will have:¶

• Unlocked bootloader or Root-capable Recovery
• Compatibility with standard tools (adb, fastboot, heimdall)
• GSM / UMTS network capability (CDMA2000 devices require proprietary libraries signed with a particular key in order to use the network)
• Components (e.g., Wifi, Bluetooth, Camera, Video, Touchscreen) with freely available documentation
• Support in CyanogenMod or other AOSP-based Android build
• As few binary-only drivers as possible

Ideal Targets¶

An ideal potential target for Replicant will have:

• All of the good potential target characteristics
• Processor Isolation - Modem cannot spy on the memory of the Application processor
• Components that do not require loadable firmware
• Commonality with devices already supported in Replicant or other Free Software phone project
• Zero binary-only drivers
• Free-able bootloader
