	Device	Nexus S (GT-I902x)
	Manufacturer	Google/Samsung
	Release date	December 2010
	Codename	crespo
	Status	Replicant: Not supported anymore Last Replicant version: Replicant 4.2 libsamsung-ipc: still supported libsamsung-ril: still supported
	Variants	GSM: GT-I9020, GT-I9020A, GT-I9023
	Latest images	Replicant 4.2 0004

Status¶

The device has a modem that is not isolated¹, because of that the Replicant project isn't interested in officially supporting that device anymore, however it still wants to collaborate with other projects or people wanting to add support for it in various other projects.

To make it easier for other projects to support that device, Replicant can still try to make sure that libsamsung-ipc and libsamsung-ril work for that device.

It's also still possible to build Replicant 4.2, which support this device with a recent libsamsung-ipc and libsamsung-ril.

To do that you need to install Trisquel 7, which is not supported anymore by Trisquel.

It's possible to do that from within Parabola with debootstrap and run the resulting rootfs in lxc through libvirt.
