Should I add the phone (2a) CE gallery submissions

Mirko_ddd Yo Mirko! I love what you are doing with this app, your passion is undeniable. I have some ideas, some aesthetic changes, and overall quality of life tweak suggestions.

Are you interested in collaborating with me on this app ? I’ll share some designs with you later today/tomorrow if so. (I’ll make them after my working hours)

We can possibly curate the best experience the community members of this platform deserve. Let me know what you think.

Widget concept

Any place to download this?

Mirko_ddd

Ladle not yet, I have published the app on Google Play but I am waiting for Google to review the app. Being a fresh new app may probably take some day.

Mirko_ddd

Ladle it is available now, the link is in the first post 😎

flo_rahil Yo Rahil! This project was born to challenge myself exploring the Nothing design language, and try to make it putting myself into Nothing developers shoes. At the moment I am pretty happy how it is turning. I am focused now on adding the widgets and the notification system to deliver a useful app. Hopefully future feedbacks will point me to improvements, also in the UI field, and then some of your ideas may be welcomed 😎

munim_falcon Some people like bloatware. This is just like “Mi Forum” app that was in Xiaomi phones during earlier days, which later they decided to close it down. Still Xiaomi phone was filled with bloatware, so we went into OnePlus because we love OxygenOS, then they turned into ColorOS. People didn’t like it, they left and become Nothing fan because we loved OxygenOS. Now they ask Nothing to become ColorOS/MIUI, and then later complain.. don’t know why we even want something that Xiaomi also decided to quit.😂

Mirko_ddd No worries man! I am actually a senior UI/UX designer by profession so I thought I would chime in this project that you are building.

You have done an exceptional job yourself. I just had some ideas that would make this app match more in line aesthetically with the existing Nothing apps (Weather, Nothing X). Along with some UX tweaks that would benefit the end user.

I am excited to try your build when it launches.

P.S. - If I could make a suggestion right away. You might wanna look into this section. @Mirko_ddd

Here you have given a well defined square box for the Submission gallery and a proper circle for the updates. But just below that the “Vote Now Stage 3” plus Image on the right side, they give an initial impression of two separate interact-able items. I would suggest give padding to the elements and creating a proper rectangle with borders just like how you did for the square box above. This will communicate more prominently to the end user that this a one proper element.

flo_rahil I see, thanks for the tip 😎

@Mirko_ddd Looking on the pictures and now I really want to have it! I thought, that I will try to clean dust from Tapatalk and try access Nothing community by it, but your app looks way better. I´ve looked into the Play stroe, but it looks, that approval proces is still going (or?). So, you know what I will ask for, right now :-) Do search for “beta” testers? :-) Or do you have a GitHub thread?

Mirko_ddd

Ghouless hello, the app Is not meant to be a forum app, has only news from forum, most recent firmware updates and browse the phone (2a) community edition submissions gallery.

The app is still on review on Google Play, but I am thinking to open an internal testing track, so if you’re interested you can DM your email (the one you use in Google Play, so I can invite you to test the app).

Ghouless

Mirko_ddd yup, if you can include also links related to Phone (2) into the app, it will be welcomed from my (I think not only) side. I will write you a DM.

Mirko_ddd

Ghouless maybe there’s a misunderstanding, the gallery of phone (2a) community edition is the series of submissions that users have posted to participate in the 4 stages of making the “phone 2a community edition”.

Mirko_ddd

Comparing the official widget for community headlines with one that comes with the app.

Thoughts?

Fr4nKB

Mirko_ddd IMHO I feel like the official one suits more since it blends better with the other widgets, maybe you could do a hybrid of the two. That said the app looks awesome, great work👀

Mirko_ddd

Updated first post with download to Google Play.

Dr. Android

You should open the app to all Android devices, not just Nothing Phone users. Nothing Community is not only followed by Nothing device owners.

Mirko_ddd

Dr. Android it is for all android devices, from android 12 onwards

Mirko_ddd

Fr4nKB it’s not possible to make the same widget as the official one (if I want to make it scrollable), and you should know it 😜.

The most similar layout I can use for a widget was StackView, instead the one is using the official app is a custom layout (not a real widget), I suppose it is a vertical recyclerView with a pager behaviour.

Fr4nKB

Mirko_ddd I’m sorry I’ve not tried the official widget nor I’m informed on how it behaves, I was judging based on the looks.
Looking at hellomalek screeshot I have to say that it does look cool, maybe the photo to the phone deceived me, I take back what I said earlier😂
