Re: Replicant for GTA04? (Was WebOS for GTA04?)
[cut] The modem in theses device had too much power(it controlled the sound card, the GPS and could read/write on RAM of the main CPU). Am I paranoid, or is some big evil agency trying to keep an eye, via modem, on what users have in their phones?

Replicant for GTA04? (Was WebOS for GTA04?)
After HP announced to open source WebOS I wonder what we need to get it onto a GTA04 device? And is there already a clear picture how completely the source will be opened? Under which licence? And which limitations? Which timeframe? Questions over questions... Let's discuss answers... Why not porting Replicant to it too? Replicant is a fully free android version: * The non-free low level libraries are replaced by free equivalents * The market is replaced by FDroid When I was involved in it we freed some devices like the htc dream and the nexus one but we then realized that the devices themselves were the problem: The modem in theses device had too much power(it controlled the sound card, the GPS and could read/write on RAM of the main CPU). So then the current main developer ported the nexus S to it which is way better: * The audio codec is attached to the main CPU * the GPS is attached to the main CPU * The modem can't read/write the RAM of the main CPU and cannot read/write the NAND either however it suffer from a proprietary and partially signed bootloader. The GTA04 has none of theses freedom problems... Denis. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Why not porting Replicant to it too? Yes there is a lot of room for multiple OS ports for the GTA04. Replicant is a fully free android version: * The non-free low level libraries are replaced by free equivalents * The market is replaced by FDroid A good starting point could also be the Rowboat project which aims at porting Android to TI OMAP systems: http://code.google.com/p/rowboat/ On this list I find e.g. Android 4.0 for BeagleBoard XM. As usual the best way could be to mix both... Nikolaus ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
