Basically I downloaded the sources,and buit them,then it fail to build
because I did not included some proprietary packages.
So I looked in vendor/htc/dream-open/ and there was a shell script which
extracted the proprietary parts from the phone and put them into the
build system.
So I searched trough the sources and also looked at the openmoko sources
of their android port and:
*disabled or replaced the proprietary parts in the build system
*removed this shell script

Then audio was not working,So I looked into the audio sources and
removed references to the dlopened prorpietary library and replaced some
parts that depended on the proprietary library with code from playwav2.c
and then asked permission to the author of the library to do so.

I also wanted telephony so I took the reference ril and added patches
from the openmoko ril for USSD,pin and such things.

Then I had a working phone,unfortunately I don't live in the USA and
people living there had huge issues with my ril(it didn't work at
all,that is to say no phone calls) while people in europe had no such
issues.

(Then I stopped working on replicant and got involved with the GNU/Linux
port on the htcdream but that's another story).

ps: note that I had 100% free software code running on the main CPU, and
that wifi and bluetooth firmware were still necessary if you wanted
bluetooth or wifi.
