Development Skills & Knowledge

Familiarity with Android’s build process.
Experience with custom ROM development, kernel modifications, or device tree customization.
Understanding of Android’s architecture (e.g., HAL, System Services).
Comfort using Linux-based systems for development (e.g., shell scripting, package management, kernel compilation).
Strong command of Git for version control, including branching, rebasing, and resolving merge conflicts.
Experience with collaborative platforms like GitHub, GitLab, or Gerrit for code reviews.

Ensure all core hardware components (e.g., display, audio, touch, GPS) function reliably.
Minor exceptions may apply for non-critical features (e.g., IR blasters, niche sensors) with justification.

SELinux must remain in enforcing mode; provide logs or audit reports to verify compliance.
Avoid unstable hacks or workarounds that compromise system integrity or user data.

Maintain at least one stable unofficial builds over a week period prior to application.
Deliver regular updates (minimum one per month) with security patches, bug fixes, and feature enhancements.:

All contributions must include proper attribution (e.g., commit authorship, inline comments, or README credits).
Adhere to open-source licensing requirements and avoid proprietary code leaks.
Conduct code reviews to ensure compliance with project guidelines and best practices.

Perform end-to-end testing for device-specific fixes (e.g., unit tests, user beta testing).
Validate hardware functionality (e.g., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, camera, sensors) across multiple usage scenarios.
