==
What is it about? ==
- There will be a Replicant install party at LibrePlanet 2013, Replicant
is a 100% free software Android distribution.
- We could also install FDroid to people(really
easy).
Contents
Why is it important?
- The Android that you get on your phone right after buying it is
non-free(only the linux kernel(but its firmwares) is free software)
- Cyanogenmod contains non-free libraries.
- The non-free libraries were found to spy on the people, see
[http://replicant.us/2011/04/replicant-lacks-tracking-antifeatures/ This
port] for more details.
== Reservation (for people wanting Replicant to be installed on their device). == Here's the list of supported devices:
Devices that we can install Replicant on
- Galaxy S (Replicant 4.0) GSM version
- Nexus S (Replicant 4.0) GSM version
- Galaxy S2 (Replicant 4.0) GSM version
- Galaxy Nexus (Replicant 4.0) GSM version
- Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 GSM (Replicant 4.0) GSM version
- Galaxy Tab 2 10.0 GSM (Replicant 4.0) GSM version
Device we're not supporting at the install
- Nexus One (Replicant 2.3): Requires non free firmwares (we cannot and
don't want to redistribute them).
- HTC Dream (Replicant 2.2): old device, has to be already running cyanogenomod.
- HTC Magic (Replicant 2.2): old device
What to know/bring with you
- bring the usb cable corresponding to your device just in case.
- The installation will wipe everything, so backup it first or ask the
installers to backup it for you.
- we do not reflash the bootloader.
- look at
[http://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/ReplicantStatus The
Replicant status]
Insert your name and device(s) below
- Example-person: Galaxy Nexus
== Organization (for people installing coreboot on the users computers)
==
People involved in the installation
- Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
- One of the founders of the Replicant project
- Still participate in Replicant(now the main developer is Paul
Kocialkowski(paulk))
What we need to bring/have
- a mini-usb cable (Denis has one)
- a micro-usb cable (Denis has one)
- a galaxy tab 2 7.0 GSM cable (Denis has one)
- a laptop with fastboot and heimdall and the images ready (Denis has
one)
- a laptop with the replicant sources just in case (Denis has one)
- Internet for the instructions(usefull for heimdall compatibles
devices).
- A serial cable(not very usefull but we never know) (Denis has one for
the samsung phones having a micro-usb connector)
Freedom Challanges
- Replicant doesn't redistribute the non-free firmwares, without theses
the Wifi and Bluetooth won't work.
- What to do if the user really need or wants Wifi/Bluetooth? => we
cannot install the firmware for him.
- What to do if:
- The user has a stock Android => we install FDroid
- his device is supported by cyanogenmod => we install FDroid and do
not install cyanogenmod that has non-free software in it(the
libraries).
- his device is not supported by Replicant => we install FDroid
TODO
- make a guide to identify the different version of the same model.
- Contact FSFE to ask for advises on how to organize it because they're
used to do that kind of install parties.
