Current phonesWe are currently focussing on HTC Dream and Nexus One, for several reason:
* 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.)
* They are well supported in the AOSP, that is to say, part of the hardware libraries are released under a Free Software license
* The Replicant developers have either the HTC Dream or both phones.
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].
If you own a different phone, adding support for it could be doable especially if your phone is very similar to what we support or you have full / partial hardware libraries source code.
Current Status By phonesActually the best phone to run Replicant is the HTC Dream.
The Replicant source code is currently hosted [http://gitorious.org/replicant at gitorious]. For the branch descriotion, see the Builds Howto

Replicant Software Center - a libre market applicationReplicant Software Center is a fully free software market application to download and manage free software apps on Replicant.
We are using the [http://f-droid.org/ FDroid client]. You can also download a compiled libre apk [http://f-droid.org/repo/FDroid_0.11.apk here].
By default it downloads libre apps from its own repository. We are working together with our friend Ciaran, main FDroid developer, on a Replicant repository.
Previously Graziano had its own repository for testing purposes: http://sorbaioli.org/repo
We are focusing now on merging all these efforts.
List of Free Software applicationsWe're building a list of all known [wiki:ListOfKnownFreeSoftwareApps Free Software applications for the Android platform].
Libre software replacement for non free Google apps=== (OLD INFO) previous tentative to build a market app using SlideMe 1.0 and codeJVending ===
