Replicant along with the F-Droid app store is a far better example of a mobile operating system which attempts to provide software freedom for users, although its actual use is quite limited, even more so than GNU/Linux on desktops and laptops.
It is a shame that F-Droid seems to be out of date compared with software available on Play Store. This really kills the idea of having a open source Android phone without the proprietary Google stuff IMHO. For example, Firefox on F-Droid is version 33.0, while Play Store has 34.0 and Beta version 35.0. CSIPSimple on Play Store is version 1.02.03 with mention of fixing problems with Android 5.0, and from F-Droid is only version 1.02.01. -- Brian May <brian@microcomaustralia.com.au>
