Replicant 6.0 0004 has not been released yet, at the time of writing we only have RC images.

    9
    
    
    
So the information in this section may change over time.

h4. Installation from scratch





    14
    
    
    





    15
    
    
    
To erase all the data on the device and install this release, you can use the [[ReplicantInstallation]] instructions.





    16
    
    
    





    17
    
    
    
You will need to use these instructions which also erase all the data on the device if:





    18
    
    
    
* You are installing Replicant 6.0 0004 from scratch





    19
    
    
    
* You are upgrading from Replicant 4.2 or earlier





    20
    
    
    





    21
    
    
    
You can also use these instructions if erasing your data is not an issue.





    22
    
    
    





    23
    
    
    
h4. Upgrading from a previous Replicant 6.0 version





    24
    
    
    





    25
    
    
    
The upgrade instructions are different than usual because:





    26
    
    
    
* All the release of Replicant 6.0 after the 0003 have been signed with different keys than the ones before.





    27
    
    
    
* The contact database has changed format due to the removal of nonfree Ambient SDK code





    28
    
    
    





    29
    
    
    
h5. From Replicant 6.0 0003





    30
    
    
    





    31
    
    
    
First you will need to prepare your device for the migration of the contact database. See the [[MigrateContactsDatabase]] article for the instructions on how to do that.





    32
    
    
    





    33
    
    
    
Then once this is done, for migrating to Replicant 6.0 0004, you will need to read the [[AndroidSystemKeyMigration]] article before following the [[MinorVersionUpgrade]] installation instructions.

h5. Galaxy Nexus and a Galaxy Tab 2 graphics





    36
    
    
    





    37
    
    
    
Due to a bug with the integration of a new, more compatible graphic stack based on llvmpipe, once booted, the Galaxy Nexus and a Galaxy Tab 2 graphics are extremely slow.





    38
    
    
    





    39
    
    
    
So if you have a Galaxy Nexus (GT-I9250), a Galaxy Tab 2 (GT-P3100, GT-P3110, GT-P3113, GT-P5100, or GT-P5110 ) you might also want to restore the previous graphics stack.





    40
    
    
    





    41
    
    
    
To do that, you can follow the [[EnablingRootAccess]] article to get root access on the device, and run the following command on the device:





    42
    
    
    
<pre>





    43
    
    
    
graphics.sh faster





    44
    
    
    
</pre>





    45
    
    
    





    46
    
    
    
It will reboot and restore the previous graphic stack.





    47
    
    
    





    48
    
    
    
The [[Graphics#Methods-to-choose-the-software-renderer]] article also has more details on the topic.
