Hello Graziano,
I’ve just read about the Replicant project and am already very exited! Seems like a great job, and in order to help boosting your project’s popularity and activity, I wonder if you would be interested in porting this version to run on WM8505 based 7″ Android tablets ? I’ll have a look hopefully sunday, cause I have a full planned agenda till sunday midday/evening. I’m not sure, but I might need some help with running the OS off a tablet. Please visit my website and if you are interested in the ROMs you can register, other parts of the site are open to public. Hope to receive an email of you somewhere this week! Have a good day.
cheers,
Stephan
Hello Stephan and thank you for your interest in Replicant.
I am not a developer, I am the community guy who tries to bridge actual developers with community, users, contributors, etc.
We are interested in running Replicant on tablets too.
It would be awesome if you could join us so we can discuss together about this.
Join our IRC channel and/or mailing list and contact us.
This way you will reach actual developers and we can start working on this.
Cheers

Dear Replicant team.
I am sending this message on behalf of Gizmo For You as the Moderator and owner of the group.
In the “Supported Devices” you have listed one of our Gizmos which is the FLOW (current version G1.55). Please be informed that the current version is no longer in need of assembly and comes with Android 2.2 pre-installed. I would very much appreciate it if you could change your website information about our Open source device so that it reflects its current status.
Tnx in advance.
i have Dell XD35 …would like to have free andriod os with root access..with other software of linux…Do let me know if how can i backup and check this new os.
Dell XD35 isn’t a phone we support on the Replicant Project. Apparently, it’s not supported by CyanogenMod (the Android derivate Replicant is based on) either so you have very poor chances of getting an Android version with root on it.
Very good project !
It’s a good thing to have a free Android (I have a Acer Liquid).
I’ve made a little post on my blog to talk about you
my phone is nokia n900.iam really interested in replicant.Is it possible to install replicant on ma phone. Please help me to install it.
We do not support N900 on the Replicant project, though there is a project called NITDroid (that includes non-free parts) that has Android running with most things working.
See http://nitdroid.com/index.php?title=Main_Page
Maybe in the future we could eventually integrate a fully free NITDroid fork to Replicant…
Thank you for your work.
I’m not a developer yet, but would like to liberate my communication. Which Nexus S exactly do I need to purchase: http://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?sQuickSearch=yes&sName=nexus+s
And how difficult is it to flash the images? I have succeeded in flashing custom CWM and CM 7 and use the F-droid app, but I want to step up freedom.
Well, Replicant runs on any GSM Nexus S as far as I know. Note that we do not support the CDMA models, or “Nexus S 4G”.
A standard Nexus S (I9020) should work as well as a I9023 (that I use). I think one already tested Replicant on I9020A and it works the same, though I’m not 100% sure.
And flashing Replicant on Nexus S is easy, it’s really hard to do it wrong. Plus you can get real time help on IRC.
I just found about you, great work!
I have an Acer Iconia A500 tablet, I wish I’ll be able to install Replicant too one day…
Our next target will most likely be the Galaxy S, sorry.
Hello,
I just read about what you all are doing and would like to help in any way I can. I have some very low level programming skills in many different languages. I am highly skilled in solving hard problems with creative solutions, things like figuring out why a driver is not working or what the problem is behind not being able to use a certain modem. I can also debug code and concatenate code so that it runs faster and better. Please send me an email so that I can help you better.
Thanks
Wow, thanks a lot for your enthusiasm! There is a lot of work to do, so you could decided yourself how to help depending on which device/version you prefer to work on.
I encourage you to take contact with us, on IRC or via our mailing list.
Hello,
I think the Zenithink tablet could have the potential for being good candidates for Replicant: they are sold rooted, I guess the bootloader is not locked, they are rather cheap (150 euros for 10″ capacitive screen, Arm A9 processor, RJ45 adapter), with a good hardware. There are frequent updates for the OS (Android 4 ICS) from the vendor. Maybe they would be interested to help because a free Android tablet would raise the attention of many geeks. Besides, I think it’s one of their model which is used on the KDE tablet (spark)
Thanks for the hint, that sounds interesting!
Hi! I´m interested in WM8505 versión. I’ve a 10″ tablet and time to develop. THNX

Nice! If you have to time to do the work, we could see what we can do. Please join our IRC chan or mailing list!
Hi,
U did great work And am surprised and want to know more about the project I have questions but to not abuse your kindness I will ask just one can u make it turn into a Pc with a specific configuration as a native os?
Thank you !
Replicant does not target PCs currently, but focuses on phones. Though, there is the android-x86 project and we could probably mix both to get a fully free Android system running on x86 architectures. That’s not our priority at all for now and as there I am currently the only active dev, it’s not likely to be there soon.
Hello. Please check your wiki for errors. http://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki#Building-Replicant
Can you tell how difficult is porting to the Acer Liquid E?
