title: Replicant 4.0 0004 images release
authors: Paul Kocialkowski
tags: Replicant news, Paul Kocialkowski
---
The last months have been rather calm for Replicant development, no big
changes or improvements were made. 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].
