GTA04 could be a solution but it lacks audiophile grade sound quality, oled display and it is not as cheap as a galaxy S / nexus S.

The models you mention were not tested to work with our galaxys2 image and will likely not work with them.

If the Replicant logo is shown, then it goes up to mounting the partitions, which is a good sign. There is no reason why it wouldn't find the sh bin. Check your partitions' health!

Great work by the way! Hi,

If there was a way to share the connection from this device directly via usb to a nexus S or a galaxy S for instance, using airplane mode and without any SIM card in it the two problems exposed at 2:35 on the RMS video should be avoided : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=es1noVdsPfY The huawei device supports SMS so it should be possible to make an interface between the devices in order to use SMS on the phone and why not adapt something like TextSecure.
