Also note that if you have a device phone that is not a Nexus One nexusone or an HTC Dream, htcdream, adding support for it may could be possible, doable, especially if your phone is very similar to a supported one or if that you have full or partial hardware libraries source code for the hardware libraries. code. == Current Status By Phone phones == * [wiki:AndroidStatus HTC Dream] * The Nexus One one status: preliminary evaluation of the port has been done, The initial sources need to be published and then the real work will start == Replicant Source Code source code == The Replicant source code is currently hosted [http://gitorious.org/replicant at gitorious].
