| 8 | 2 | Bradley M. Kuhn - | |
| 9 | 41 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | We are currently focussing on HTC Dream and Nexus One, for several reason: |
| 10 | * Both phones have versions that permit the user to become root if he wants to: [wiki:root_status only a few phones] comes with root privilegies, or a mecanism that permit the user to become root. (If you know about another android phone that comes with root by default please let us know on irc or mailing list.) |
||
| 11 | * They are well supported in the AOSP(android open source project), that is to say, part of the hardware libraries are released under a Free Software license |
||
| 12 | * The replicant developers have or the htcdream, or both. |
||
| 13 | Note that [http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/pour-one-out-t-mobile-g1-no-longer-for-sale/ T-Mobile G1 is no longer for sale] so our default device will become the Nexus One. |
||
| 14 | 40 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | |
| 15 | 41 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | Also note that if you have a phone that is not a nexusone or an htcdream, adding support for it could be doable, especially if your phone is very similar to a supported one or that you have full or partial hardware libraries source code. |
