# Contributing to Gearslip
|
|
|
|
Thanks for helping. Bug reports from real cars are the most useful thing you can send, so
|
|
start there if you aren't sure where to begin.
|
|
|
|
## Reporting a bug
|
|
|
|
Open an issue on [GitHub](https://github.com/Seb3thehacker/gearslip/issues) and include:
|
|
|
|
- your car's make, model, and year, and whether the head unit is the original one; and
|
|
- the log from the drive. Open Logs on the phone app's home screen and tap Share log.
|
|
|
|
The log records your phone, its Android version, the Gearslip version, the head unit, and
|
|
why the connection ended. Most car bugs can't be fixed without it. Head units often report
|
|
only a part number, so the log can't name your car for you.
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
You need Android Studio, or the Android SDK with JDK 21. Gradle downloads the NDK, CMake,
|
|
and the speech library on the first build.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./gradlew :gearslip:assembleDebug
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The APK lands at `build/Gearslip-debug.apk`. It installs as Gearslip Dev, next to the
|
|
regular app.
|
|
|
|
## Pull requests
|
|
|
|
- Keep each pull request to one change, and explain the problem it solves.
|
|
- Say how you tested it: which car or head unit, which phone, and which apps.
|
|
- Code written with AI tools is welcome. Read it, test it, and stand behind it as you would
|
|
your own.
|
|
- Gearslip asks for no adb, root, or Shizuku. A feature must work with ordinary Android
|
|
permissions and on-device consent dialogs.
|
|
|
|
## Writing
|
|
|
|
Text that users read, such as screens, release notes, and docs, follows Strunk's
|
|
[*The Elements of Style*](https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/37134). In short: use the active
|
|
voice, state things positively, cut needless words, and use the serial comma.
