Nice! Would this also fix ZXing? Generally, I suspect there may be resistance to adopting this patch, but to me it looks comparable to the already existing Wifi/Bluetooth infrastructure support. Replicant doesn't disable all Wifi/Bluetooth support even though no hardware Replicant supports Wifi/Bluetooth without non-free firmware. The situation appears similar here. If the modules that you enable are all free software, I think they should be built by default. Are all of the following packages free software? > +# MFC API > +PRODUCT_PACKAGES += \ > + libsecmfcdecapi \ > + libsecmfcencapi > + > +# OMX > +PRODUCT_PACKAGES += \ > + libstagefrighthw \ > + libSEC_OMX_Resourcemanager \ > + libSEC_OMX_Core \ > + libOMX.SEC.AVC.Decoder \ > + libOMX.SEC.M4V.Decoder \ > + libOMX.SEC.WMV.Decoder \ > + libOMX.SEC.AVC.Encoder \ > + libOMX.SEC.M4V.Encoder > +# libOMX.SEC.VP8.Decoder The stagefright part had other concerns, but I guess that particular bug has been resolved already. > +++ b/configs/80cfw I don't think this file should go into Replicant.
