title: Replicant 4.0 0001 images release
authors: Paul Kocialkowski
tags: Replicant images release, Paul Kocialkowski
---
After months of working hard to bring Replicant to the next upstream release,
we are proud to announce the release of the Replicant 4.0 0001 images. This
new release comes with support for both new devices, such as the Galaxy Nexus
or the Galaxy S2 and devices that were already there in Replicant 2.3, like
the Nexus S and the Galaxy S.

Aside from the new Ice Cream Sandwich user experience, that we tried to make
as good as possible without any non-free blob, most devices have better
hardware support than before, such as Galaxy S which now has working camera,
or the global improvements that were made to make telephony more stable and
reliable. Even though it's not perfect yet, we are proud of the result, that
many of us use daily. If you encounter a particular problem with our software,
do not hesitate to report the issue via our tracker, or give feedback when a
problem was resolved.

We are indeed writing hundreds of lines of code to have more hardware
supported and with a better state, replacing non-free components, step by
step. Keep in mind that Replicant has a very small core team, we're just two
people doing this on our free time: that means we can't work on every side of
the project at the same time and have to make choices. This is why we will
always welcome serious new contributors who'd like to get involved in the
project.

You can download the images from the [ReplicantImages][1] page and find
[installation instructions][2] as well as [build guides][3] on the [Replicant
wiki][4].
