title: Replicant 4.0 0005 images release
authors: Paul Kocialkowski
---
Another couple of months passed by, bringing its share of improvements to
Replicant 4.0, so we felt it was time to release a new batch of images. First
thing's first, let's talk a bit about the [fundraising program][1] we launched
thanks to the [Free Software Foundation][2]: it was a huge success! Over
$20,000 were collected over the past two months, thanks to your help. We
really didn't expect that much money and it will greatly cover for our needs,
which include buying new devices and covering for travel-related expenses,
allowing us to attend events such as FOSDEM. On a sad note, we are more and
more looking for new developers to get involved in the project: both GNUtoo
and I are very busy and cannot contribute to the project as much as we'd like
to, so things will keep moving a bit slowly, compared to what it used to be.
However, this new batch comes with a good share of improvements: the Galaxy
Note (first generation, international GSM model) was added to the list of
supported devices with this release (thanks to your financial support that
enabled us to buy the device), which brings that list up to 10 devices. Camera
support was added to the Galaxy S3 and other smaller improvements were made as
well. As usual, you can checkout the complete [changelog][3], download the
images from the [ReplicantImages][4] page and find [installation
instructions][5] as well as [build guides][6] on the [Replicant wiki][7].
Since we received complaints about the Replicant installation process, all the
guides were rewritten to be device-specific and include clear and step-by-step
instructions, which should make it easier for everyone to install Replicant on
their device. Moreover, the newly-launched forums and our mailing list make it
possible to get help from our community, about the installation or anything
else you want to talk about!
