Will the Galaxy note 2 GT-N7105 work with Replicant
Added by Tom Lukeywood almost 10 years ago
i have found a cheap Galaxy Note 2 on ebay
but the model number is GT-N7105
different from the N7100 model number on the Replicant status page
as this is still at least branded as a galaxy note 2
i was wondering if it would still work with Replicant?

Generally speaking: http://www.replicant.us/about.php#not-listed-install
The hardware is actually the same as the supported version, except for the modem which is LTE from Qualcomm and uses the QMI protocol for which Replicant has no support. However, you could still build (not use as-is) a Replicant image for it that would have the same supported features as the supported model, minus the telephony and mobile data parts.
It looks doable to add free software support for the modem though, but it's a lot of work.
