* providing translations of the app on [Transifex](https://app.transifex.com/nextcloud/nextcloud/android/)
* reporting problems / suggesting enhancements by [opening new issues](https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/new/choose)
* implementing proposed bug fixes and enhancement ideas by submitting PRs (associated with a corresponding issue preferably)
* reviewing [pull requests](https://github.com/nextcloud/android/pulls) and providing feedback on code, implementation, and functionality
* installing and testing [pull request builds](https://github.com/nextcloud/android/pulls), [daily/dev builds](https://github.com/nextcloud/android#development-version-hammer), or [RCs/release candidate builds](https://github.com/nextcloud/android/releases)
* enhancing Admin, User, or Developer [documentation](https://github.com/nextcloud/documentation/)
* hitting hard on the latest stable release by testing fundamental features and evaluating the user experience

Make sure you read [SETUP.md](https://github.com/nextcloud/android/blob/master/SETUP.md) and [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/nextcloud/android/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) before you start working on this project. But basically: fork this repository and contribute back using pull requests to the master branch.
Easy starting points are also reviewing [pull requests](https://github.com/nextcloud/android/pulls) and working on [starter issues](https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22).
* enter `adb shell pidof -s 'com.nextcloud.client'` and use the output as `<processID>` in the following command:
*`adb logcat --pid=<processID> > "%USERPROFILE%\Downloads\logcatOutput.txt"` (This will produce a `logcatOutput.txt` file in your downloads)
* if the processID is `18841`, an example command is: `adb logcat --pid=18841 > "%USERPROFILE%\Downloads\logcatOutput.txt"` (You might cancel the process after a while manually: it will not be exited automatically.)
* For a PowerShell terminal, replace `%USERPROFILE%` with `$env:USERPROFILE` in the commands above.
* use [CatLog](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nolanlawson.logcat) or [aLogcat](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jtb.alogcat)
