You don’t need to write code to help contributing with Mobile NixOS.
As Mobile NixOS is a superset on top of NixOS, you should read the contributing guidelines of the NixOS project. Many of the points apply just the same with Mobile NixOS.
Opening issues
Issues you face when using or working with Mobile NixOS should be filed on the project’s issue tracker.
First verify an existing, open, and recent issue matching your exact problem doesn’t already exist. In case of doubt, always open a new issue. Sometimes vaguely reported symptoms are from different sources and it is easier to manage when different issues are opened.
When describing the issues you face, please provide the most information you can. For sharing logs, please share them as Gists so the issue does not get bogged down.
Porting
See the Device Porting Guide.
Once a port has been made for a new device, open a Pull Request.
Packaging software
Unless it is related to the abstraction of device specifics, packaging should be done upstream at the Nixpkgs project.
Mobile NixOS is a superset of NixOS, all the software that is in NixOS is available for Mobile NixOS.
