What's the dev team's workflow for editing core apps?

[kryma]

I am looking to patch a core Ubuntu Touch app for personal use (Address Book in particular). What's the workflow the core dev team tends to use for editing apps?

The QT files imply a RAD editor, but there's not a project file in sight, and the QTCreator fails with strange errors. One I'm looking at in particular right now is a lack of file called Qt5ContactsConfig.cmake. The app builds fine using Clickable, so I think I should have everything needed, library-wise.

(Feel free to move if that's the wrong forum. App development seems a bit of a different use case.)

@kryma feel free to make a pull request on app git so anyone can enjoy your personal work in community.
May i ask what you intends to tweak?

[kryma]

@keneda That's the intent - but would hate to get a community's hopes up until this thing works for one person.

As for the tweak's contents, it's issue #727 on GitHub. I don't like that it's still open.
