Nothing Phone (2a) | Private Development Community

Our aim is to unite developers and testers in a collaborative space to enhance the development of the device

❗️Requirements:

- The necessary requirements are stated below:

😎 Developers:

- If you are an experienced developer currently working on or planning to contribute to the device, feel free to contact us for group access.
- Alternatively, if you require testers for your builds, connecting with us could be beneficial.
- Buildbots are welcome, provided they are open to learning, commit to a single ROM, and maintain its quality. We do not endorse low-quality builds in our channel.

🤓 Testers:

1. Must have the device with unlocked bootloader. You will be assisted by the team to unbrick your device while testing (just in case).
2. Must be knowledgeable and experienced enough with custom ROMs flashing.
3. A reliable internet connection is recommended.
4. Access to a pc is necessary.
5. Should be active and loyal to the team. Leaking out test builds or sharing conversations outside the group without dev's consent will get you banned from the community.
6. Comfortable with testing alpha builds, identifying bugs, and proficient in taking logs.
7. Comfortable with formatting and restoring data (in case that matters)
8. Lastly, please don't apply if you wanna spectate only and not get involved into anything. Such members will be removed based on inactivity.
