Free Your Android!

Android is a mostly free operating system mainly developed by Google. Unfortunately, the drivers for most devices and most applications from the "market" are non-free. This page collects information related FSFE's Free Your Android Campaign.

The Operating Systems

CyanogenMod

There is a DRM provider app that you can remove.

Non-Free Parts

If you know about non-free software added to CyanogenMod, please let us know about it! Currently we suspect that the ClockworkMod App that ships with CyanogenMod is not free.

Android Revolution / HD

"The most popular ROM for HTC Desire HD & HTC Inspire 4G". Currently it is unclear whether this ROM is 100% Free Software (input welcome!).

The Apps

Apps That Still Need To Be Liberated

Please add apps here that have no free counterpart, but are important to have on a free system. People can contact the authors of those apps and ask them why they are not Free Software.

Responses to Objections We've Heard from App Developers

We already collected objections and responses on FSFE's Free Your Android Campaign. If you know more, please add them here.
