Nothing’s own Suite of Apps

Feature Request 35: Nothing’s own Communication Suite of Apps

Are Google’s Communication Suite of Apps good enough? -I doubt. There isn’t a month that Google Dialer and Messages are not riddled with some sort of bugs, be it battery draining issue or buttons disappearing after making a call to someone etc. and some controversial issue like Sending users data without permission.

I feel developing Nothing Dialer/Phone, Contacts and Messaging App with Nothing’s unique visual language would be a wise decision, just not to duplicate some Google Apps but to better the user experience.

Sayan_Dutta completely agree nothing should make basic everyday apps like calender, clock, notes and keyboard too. To make the nothing experience full also they should make all the ui elements looks like nothing os and not stock android.

Yes but I also appreciate what Carl P said - the apps are good (base Google works well)

But what I would have liked to have seen - in a similar vein - is the ability for my Nothing ID to be federated through to my Google. So when I first got my phone I expected to log in with Nothing ID first and not my Google. I know it’s Chicken & Egg because my Nothing ID is my Google ID but would like that sort of monogamous wall.

Hope that makes sense.

All I can think of is once a company is on that train they’ll eventually end up like Samsung.

Court This. Nothing - please for the love of god don’t go down this path.

Decreasing the amount of bloatware is really useful though

I need a gallery & File Manager app (third party) for my nothing phone 2

It does have google photos and Google files but still it’s not good as any other brand their own apps

I wanna use something that looks good as well as have good function

I really wish to see the following apps in nothing design language:-

File manager app
Clock app
Notes app

Which other apps would you like to see ?

DeepyamanMandal

gauravsp278 the gallery would be great too

siva

gauravsp278 gallery would be phenomenal, a pain to get used to google photos or aves after coming from a simple yet great oneplus gallery.

Totally agree, I think the Samsung files and photos apps are really good, would be great to have similar for Nothing phone.

I recommend:

For photos: Aves app, can’t reorder albums which isn’t good but other than that it’s good. Way ahead of google photos.

For files: File manager+ gives you proper control of your files, not restrictive like google files.

These are good options until Nothing create their own.

DavidArnett hello, can you share the filemanager+ link please?

Ok, this might be a dumb idea, but I’ve been seeing many concept Nothing apps (dialer, gallery, clock) on this community page and I am really digging it. This, combined with the default Nothing Weather and Recorder apps has me wanting a similar aesthetic throughout the UI.

I have no expertise in making apps but can’t there be a ‘Nothing’ themed version of existing Google apps. To clarify, I’m not saying apps built by Nothing to replace default Google apps, rather Google apps themselves with a ‘Nothing’ skin on them.

I got this idea by looking at the default ‘Messaging’ app on Samsung devices. I might be wrong on the details, but flagship Samsung devices use a custom version on the ‘Google Messages’ app with ‘OneUI’ theme on top. So why not do something similar with ‘Nothing OS’?

Not sure if this has been discussed before on the community page. What are the possible challenges?

SatwantSingh

rajatshettigar I’m thinking the same. It will look great

should NOTHING make there own apps like samsung and apple

Joe King

While the likes of Samsung and other brand’s with a pocket for budget spending Nothing is the new kid on the block and don’t have the resources like the other mobile brands. Then there comes the update of each app you’ll have to reskin those, plus more likely royalties to pay to Google.

It would be far better for Nothing or the community to build such apps for the Nothing brand in my view.

BassimBinYoosaf

As a nothing user I would like to know when will nothing officially launch there own apps. I am eagerly waiting to use those apps.

BassimBinYoosaf

As a nothing os user, i suggest there should be a seperate files for nothing files which allow acces to Android obb and data files with password protection for the users which make it secure and accessible to the users.

BassimBinYoosaf

@Ali Fakhruddin what do you think

@Ali Fakhruddin As a fan of your art I suggest you to do this and bring into reality.

Ali Fakhruddin

BassimBinYoosaf We have already started working on the Gallery app. File manager is to be discussed.

BassimBinYoosaf

Ali Fakhruddin Thanks bro.

Vishnudas_N_D

Ali Fakhruddin Please don’t making it like google files. One issue i face with google files is, when i copy a media from one location to another location which already contains that same media, it just paste it without showing me “This media already exist”. So it will consume extra storage for no reason. I was a former huawei user and the file manager in huawei is awesome. It even shows the thumbnail of the two medias because names can be same. It was like windows file explorer. Can you discuss that please?

Hello Everyone,

I just got my first Nothing phone and I feel that some essential features are missing. Nothing is depending solely on Google for the Dialer and Photos and some other apps as well. I think an independent app would be better for the Photos/Gallery. I use Google Photos for backing up my important images only, using it often is unpleasing. As for the Dialer, Nothing can make a separate app, and create it with the Nothing UI and style. Using Google apps as the main apps make the phone generic and unpleasing to use.

Guys, Guys, Guys, what about a Nothing MUSIC PLAYER.

I think I’m one of the minority that still uses stored/downloaded music, the Nothing OS needs a music player.

Ↄɾ fix

the_atta_guy No… You are not the only one.

Nø Music player PLEASE 🙏🙏🙏
