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It is a shame that F-Droid seems to be out of date compared with software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.
