h2. Project focus

13 66 Wolfgang Wiedmeyer
While supporting many common (Samsung) phones and tablets is relatively easy and fast to do, we think that it's way more important to support devices that are better for freedom:
14 62 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
* Many Samsung devices we do support have an isolated modem, however we can't free their bootloader because it is signed.
15
* Devices like the GTA04, the LG Optimus black don't have that bootloader issue, while still having an isolated modem.
16 1 Paul Kocialkowski
17 65 Loic Dachary
We therefore strongly advise to pick tasks that would advance this goal.
18 62 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
We however still accept contributions for devices with isolated modems and non-free bootloader.

h2. Tasks that don't require specific hardware
21 35 Paul Kocialkowski
22 62 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
* Fix the security vulnerabilities reported in the issue tracker (Very important).
23
* Make it easy to rebuild the prebuilt toolchain and binaries (Important).
24 67 Wolfgang Wiedmeyer
* Make a more complete EGL implementation like llvmpipe usable so newer webview versions and Firefox-based browsers can be used (Feature #705) (Very important as it affects security)
25
* Improve hardware-specific graphics acceleration (Feature #1491) (Important if it can benefits devices with free bootloaders).
26 62 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
* Improve software video decoding (Feature #1521) (Less important)
27 21 Paul Kocialkowski
* Clean the ReplicantWallpapers code and use modern Trebuchet-like wallpaper selector (Feature #1527)
28 28 Paul Kocialkowski
* Make it easy to build and release a Replicant Development Tools package (equivalent to ADT) from the Replicant source code -> [[ADTBuild]] (Feature #1551)
29 46 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
* Make it easy to build and release a Replicant NDK from the Replicant source code -> [[NDKBuild]] (Feature #1545)
30 39 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli

h2. Device-specific tasks
32 1 Paul Kocialkowski
33 64 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
* Figure out the [[BCM4751]] GPS protocol and write a free implementation (Feature #1473) (Important since it affects many devices, including  the optimus black).
34 62 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
* Improve various aspects of [[Samsung-RIL]] (add support for missing features and/or correct bugs) (Issue #1485)
35
* Add the missing audio scenarios for bluetooth (AD2P, calls, etc), dock audio for the [[GalaxyS2I9100|Galaxy S2 (I9100)]] (#1497)
36 1 Paul Kocialkowski
* Make the [[GSD4t]] GPS work (Feature #1479)
