Whoa very cool! Happy to see a new, free phone OS. I'm currently switching to Replicant and moving away from the Apple/Google controlled phone world.

- SparkyMcUnicorn 10y agoWhy did you choose Replicant over CopperheadOS? I've been looking at different ROMs like these and Replicant seems to only maintain pretty old devices which steered me away, plus the fact that it's still on KitKat.
- k__ 10y agoThis seems to be the main problem with android alternatives. I have a Huawei Honor, but can't find any Android alternatives for it.
- st3v3r 10y agoIn order to get the android alternative on there, someone has to do the work to get it on there in the first place. If no one has done it for your device, then that job falls to you. Which is why most of these target Nexus devices, because those are the easiest to do the work for (or it's already done).
- k__ 10y agoWhat has to be done for this? Is this hardcore hacking action stuff or can this be done by the average CS-major/Developer?
- deadcast 10y agoI actually haven't heard of CopperheadOS before but I chose Replicant because it's a project backed by the Free Software Foundation. I thought I'd give it a try since I'm slowly moving over to the FOSS world for everything and I wanted to support them. :) I actually bought a phone from Tehnoetic with Replicant already installed. Should be here any day!
- prplhaz4 10y agoI'm surprised LuneOS never comes up on these threads...it's slow moving, but the team has always been focused on quality and had steady monthly releases for 2yrs now... https://github.com/webOS-ports https://github.com/webOS-ports http://www.webos-ports.org/wiki/Main_Page http://www.webos-ports.org/wiki/Main_Page
