Notice:
i assume i can ask this here as its in the troll hole

my parents are considering replicant as a replacement for there iphones

but they only will if i include the non-free wifi firmware

as replicant with non-free bootloader and wifi-firmware
is much much better than a iphone

dose anyone know how to install replicant on a Samsung galaxy s/s2/s3 with the non-free wifi firmware?

Would it be better to ask at the Replicant forums? I don't know if they are allowed to help someone install proprietary software, though.

Downvote me if you wish for implicitly recommending proprietary software... I don't give a GNU!

I don't see any reason why the Trisquel Community Guidelines wouldn't apply on the Troll Hole. Especially:

"Our community's resources --the forum, documentation, etc-- are for free software only. Please do not distribute, recommend, or support non-free software here."

Since that's the whole point of the distribution.

replicant also have a policy of not recommending non-free software(although i see this as fighting it as its coming from a all non-free system)

dose anyone know another place were i could ask this question?

update:
i found info on how to do it here:

I am against any proprietary software. And this means I am aginst using it personally and also when others people use it but as I find you need help I can tell you search on the net - I spent 30 seconds to bump into that link. See if it works. If not search some other links.
ciao cat!

Unfortunatly few devices are supported and not Iphones

Missing Features as an example on a Samsung S3I93000 International

No WIFI & no Camera/Video or Pictures/Screenshots or the phone will Crrwash*

Personally i installed CyanogenMod First then ClockworkMod Recovery
and after that i just booted off the Replicant image from a SD card.

If you need WIFI you will have to use CyanogenMod....:(

What kind of cut-throat attitude is that? "Get me a phone with wi-fi, or I'll get myself the phone which is simultaneously the most expensive and mistreats me the most"?

If your parents are so hell-bent on being mistreated, let them get what they want. Making it out like getting phones that treat them better is a favor to you just sends the wrong message, because you aren't the one affected. It's a favor to them to help them run software that respects their freedom. If they don't appreciate it, that's too bad, but bribing them isn't going to help in the long run.

Right now, mass surveillance probably isn't a danger to you, personally, and bending over backwards for everyone you interact with isn't going to put an end to it. Your efforts would be better spent convincing people that avoiding use of proprietary software is a good idea, and that mass surveillance is bad.

Even people who believe proprietary software should be avoided, yet still use proprietary software for some reason, are more helpful in the long run than people who happen to use libre software because someone they know set them up with it, or because they happen to like the libre program on a practical level better than a proprietary program. The former group will take steps in the long run to make things better for everybody, while the latter group will switch over to a proprietary program at the drop of a hat for all kinds of reasons.

I've been thinking about getting the Revolution myself just so I can mess with Firefox OS.

I recently got myself a used ZTE Open C off Ebay for 40€ which was the common price there. So at least in terms of low prices this beats nearly all other choices.
