The Sciphone Dream G2 is a [wiki:MT6235] based phone running UI software to mimic the look+feel of Android.

There is currently an u-boot and Linux port for the MT6235 underway, the primary development platform is the Sciphone G2.

OsmocomBB does not yet support any Mediatek chipsets, so this phone is not supported by OsmocomBB.  Nonetheless, we

expect to have support for it at some point in the future.
