We don't necessarily need the sources here, as we're using the Android
RIL to talk with the modem. As long your device supports a recent
Android version (e.g. CM10.1), you should be good (unless there are
specifics that needs to be done for your hardware).

We're working with the Nexus family because it's easily from a
developer perspective, but nothing blocks us from using a different
hardware.

Also, remember that Galaxy Nexus uses a Samsung based hardware and modem.
