| 7 | 3 | Paul Kocialkowski | *Note that we don't ship any proprietary binary, library or firmware.* |
| 8 | *First because our goal is to reach a 100% free Android distribution and also because sometimes, these are not even distributables.* |

| 11 | |||
| 12 | 6 | Paul Kocialkowski | |_. Library location |_. Function |_. Can be replaced or avoided? | |
| 13 | 4 | Paul Kocialkowski | |/system/lib/libsecril-client.so| client to Samsung's non-free RIL | probably useless when we use another RIL (like a free replacement) | |
| 14 | |/system/vendor/bin/gpsd| GPS daemon | has to be replaced to have working GPS | |
||
| 15 | |/system/vendor/bin/pvrsrvinit| [[PowerVR]] server initializer, 3d-related | can be avoided | |
||
| 16 | |/system/vendor/lib/egl/libEGL_POWERVR_SGX540_120.so| [[PowerVR]] 3d lib | can be avoided | |
||
| 17 | |/system/vendor/lib/egl/libGLESv1_CM_POWERVR_SGX540_120.so| [[PowerVR]] 3d lib | can be avoided | |
||

||
| 22 | |/system/vendor/lib/libglslcompiler.so| ? seems graphics-related | can be avoided | |
||
| 23 | |/system/vendor/lib/libIMGegl.so| ? seems graphics-related | can be avoided | |
