That doesn't mean the project stalled: +instead, we added support for some new devices. The previous set of images +added support for the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1/7.0 in their 3G versions and we were +requested to provide images for the WiFi-only flavors of these tablets as +well. Since it only requires very little work, we were able to quickly fulfill +that request, even though we couldn't test it ourselves (you're more than +welcome to spot and report issues about these devices). + +However, the biggest part of what motivated us to build and release new images +is the support for the Galaxy S3 device in its international GT-I9300 GSM +version (not the LTE one or any other country-specific variant). Currently, +only graphics acceleration, camera and GPS support are missing (some other +features may need non-free firmwares that run on separate chips). A couple of +other things are also missing due to technical limitations (NFC, FM radio). + +We are still trying hard to bring Replicant to the [Goldelico GTA04][1], but +it couldn't make it to that release either as we still need help bringing a +reliable Android kernel to that platform (DM37x). + +A more complete [changelog][2] is also available, highlighting in details what +was changed. Special thanks to the team at [CyanogenMod][3] who fixed EXIF in +the free Galaxy S2 camera module implementation I wrote but was too lazy to +correctly implement EXIF into. + +You can download the images from the [ReplicantImages][4] page and find +[installation instructions][5] as well as [build guides][6] on the [Replicant +wiki][7]. + + [1]: <http://www.gta04.org/> + + [2]: <http://ftp-osl.osuosl.org/pub/replicant/images/replicant-4.0/0004/infos/changelog.txt> + + [3]: <http://www.cyanogenmod.org/> + + [4]: +<http://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/ReplicantImages#Replicant-40-0004-images> + + [5]: <http://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki#Installing-Replicant> + + [6]: <http://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki#Building-Replicant> + + [7]: <http://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/> + + |
