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?
Great to hear that you’re looking to get into PostmarketOS development! I recommend taking a phone that’s already supported, using it and then figure out how improve support the device.
Porting/Mainlining a new device is also possible but that can be demotivating if it doesn’t work and it’s generally harder to get started with.
If you have any questions or need help you can dm me and I can help.
I have a pixel 6a - it looks like there’s been some work done already and it seems to be supported, but lots of work to be done. Let’s see what I can do with it!
