I was trying replicant a few months ago. I could run it with Neil's kernel 
without any patches. I had working just graphics, touchscreen and ADB over usb 
network.

Some android features are already mainline under staging drivers (e.g. ashmem)

Some are IMO quite useless (like USB adb gadget - or is there any point if we 
can easily setup USB network?)

I think i have seen something that could replace wakelocks in latest 3.7 
kernel.

Maybe the rest could be cherry-picked from some older android kernel. I am 
still quite interested in having Replicant on my GTA04 - i'd like to 
contribute something, but i wonder when i will have some spare time left for 
it...
