<div>Hello,</div><div><br></div>

Also, FxOS seems to require some OpenGL - so it'd need closed SGX
drivers on GTA04. How usable it is without it - I have no idea (my
FxOS build produced only damaged binaries :P), but given that Firefox
The Browser doesn't even launch without it I'm not very optimistic.</div></blockquote><div><br></div>I had same conclusion indeed. It will be good to ask on Firefox OS dev mailing list these two questions :</div><div><br></div><div>*) Is OpenGL support needed for FxOS too ?</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div>Well, Firefox OS uses OpenGL ES 2.0 through Gonk to display GL context wrapper (see [0])<div><br></div><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div><div>*) Is porting from Android 4.2 feasible ?</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>It seems they clearly list Android supported revision : 4.0.4 (ICS), 4.3 (Jelly Bean) and 4.4 (KitKat).

Reading the Wikipedia page about Jelly Bean [2], it seems to just improve work on 4.2 without big changes excepted for Bluetooth low energy, support of OpenGL ES 3.0, ... Maybe it will work on Replicant 4.2.</div></div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Adrien</div><div><br></div><div>[0]: <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Platform/Architecture#Graphics">https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Platform/Architecture#Graphics</a></div><div>[1]: <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Preparing_for_your_first_B2G_build#Configuring_B2G_for_your_device">https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Preparing_for_your_first_B2G_build#Configuring_B2G_for_your_device</a></div><div>[2]: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_Jelly_Bean">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_Jelly_Bean</a></div>
