From the responses I've seen, it looks like this is the way to go. I have a couple old phones to choose from so I'll just jump in and give it a try!

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!

Thank you - OS dev is new to me. I don't have any real competency in any language yet, so I'll make that a priority. I'll use postmarketOS as my main point of reference, so I'll take a look through their docs as a starting point.

Great - I'll head over there too.

 

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?
