Hi all! I’d like to get into development for linux-based OSes for mobile phones but don’t know where to start. I mainly want to support the broadening of supported devices for something like Postmarketos. Where do I start? Are there any handbooks out there that can guide me in the right direction? What’s the most promising project to start contributing to?
I think the easiest is to get the thing onto some device. Pick something that annoys you and make it work better. There are so many parts to this it’s hard to recommend one. You have low level device drivers, the user interface in the form of DEs, or the apps themselves, either making the desktop apps work better or creating mobile ones.
You can also pick one of these things, find the related bugtracker and try to fix some easy looking bugs.
Sounds good - I have a couple devices lying around so l’ll try jumping in and see where it goes!
