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...
