This collection is maintained by the Free software replacement project team.

Android is a mostly free operating system developed mainly by Google. Unfortunately, the drivers for most devices and most applications from the "market" are not free (as in free speech, not as in no cost). They frequently work against the interest of the users, spy on them, and sometimes cannot even be removed. We urge all Android users to switch to a free Replicant as soon as possible.'

Here is a list of popular free software applications that run on Android — along with the proprietary applications they replace. If you are still a Android user, you can take a first step towards free software by installing these applications.

When we say these application programs are free software, we're talking about freedom, not price. It means that you are free to use these programs constructively, either alone or in a community, while respecting the freedom of others. The source code is available, so that you can study the software, adapt it to your needs, fix bugs, and release versions with new features. You can also convince or pay others to do these things for you. You are also free to give away and free to sell copies, under the terms of the applicable free software license. These programs are free software because you have freedom in using them. Free software develops under the control of its users.

Using free software on Android (or any nonfree operating system) is the first step towards freedom, but it does not get you all the way there. You're still under Google power as long as you use Android.

However, on this page we're concerned with the first step.
