h1. Galaxy S 2 (I9100) loaded firmwares 

 

 The various integrated circuits found on a mobile device run small pieces of dedicated software that are called firmwares, when powerful enough. 
 
 Thus, these programs do not run on the main processor: instead, they are executed on other integrated circuits. 

 

 Some firmwares come pre-installed on the integrated circuit while some others have to be loaded to the circuit by the main processor and are usually distributed along with the system. 
 
 *When those firmwares are proprietary, they are not distributed along with Replicant, nor do we recommend using them.*
