 || Task || Status || Replicant version || Device || Required skills || Difficulty || Comments || 
 || Bash as default shell || TODO || N/A || N/A || Android low level || Easy || The current default shell is busybox one. Bash would be great as default terminal and adb shell as it features tab completion. || 
 || Local account provider || TODO || N/A || N/A || Java, Android framework || Hard || Add an account provider that stores all data on local sqlite dbs. We need this to have offline calendar.  
 || Document how to rebuild what's prebuilt || TODO || N/A || N/A || gcc || Hard || It's possible to rebuild all that is prebuilt (PaulK did it), document how. || 
 || Document how to have everything native 64b || TODO || N/A || N/A || gcc || Hard || All the prebuilt and build host tools can be native 64b (except the emulator that segfaults) (PaulK did it) document how. || 
 || Add USB Networking settings on framework and Settings app || TODO || N/A || N/A || Java, Android framework || Hard || PaulK started the work on this but it's bugged || 
 || Write/find/adapt a gallery app that doesn't depend on 3D || TODO || N/A || N/A || Java || Hard || We need an usable gallery app that doesn't depend on 3D ||

 || Continue the work on MSM Camera || TODO || Replicant 2.2 || HTC Dream || lowlevel C || Very hard || PaulK started the work : only 1 non-free lib is needed out of 2. Reverse the one that remains. ||

 || Add more OMX free video decoders || TODO || N/A || N/A || C, C++ || Hard || Currently, Replicant doesn't support a lot of video decoders. I twould be nice to at least have theora. ||  
 || Add OMX free video encoders || TODO || N/A || N/A || C, C++ || Hard || It seems that there is no video encoder at all on Replicant, so we can't record videos. ||  
 || Write doc about how to setup and use adb (with 32b deps) || TODO || N/A || N/A || Sys admin || easy || We just provide the binary but there is no doc on how to install and use it. Clue: lib for 64b systems is ia32-libs ||
