If the issue is related to the Android UI, background service, or can't be reproduced on a desktop running the same Syncthing version, it should be posted here. - What version of Android, Syncthing and Syncthing-Android you are
running
For general usage help or questions, you should post to [discourse](http://discourse.syncthing.net/category/support). - Screenshot if the issue concerns something visible in the GUI

## Running Syncthing directly
If you can't start the app, you may be asked to execute the Syncthing binary from a command line.
This requires root permissions!
First, open a shell on you device, either through adb or with an app. Then, execute the following commands:
```
cd data/data/com.nutomic.syncthingandroid/lib/
./libsyncthing.so -home data/data/com.nutomic.syncthingandroid/files/
```
You can also pass [environment variables](http://docs.syncthing.net/dev/debugging.html#debugging) to Syncthing.
## Pull Requests
Always welcome.
Code should follow the [Android Code Style Guidelines](https://source.android.com/source/code-style.html#java-language-rules). This can be done automatically in Android Studio.
Unit tests are available, and can be executed with `gradle connectedAndroidTest`, or from Android Studio. New code should always come with tests.
Lint warnings should be fixed. If that's not possible, they should be ignored as specifically as possible.
