Hey Nothing Community! 👋
Hope you’re all doing well! Just wanted to share an update on the app I’ve been working on for Nothing phones. I’ve mentioned it before, but now I’m excited to announce that I’ll be rolling out a closed beta later this month! 🎉
Here’s a breakdown of what’s coming in the first build of the closed beta:
AI-Powered Glyph Suggestions: This feature will suggest ways to use the Glyph Interface with the apps you already have installed on your phone. It’s powered by AI to make the Glyph system more useful and intuitive in everyday use.
Adding Missing Features to Phone 1:
Glyph Timer (which is already available on Phone 2)
Volume Indicator (currently only on Phone 2)
Phone 2 Features for Phone 1:
Shake to Glyph Torch: A feature exclusive to Phone 2, but now coming to Phone 1!
Advanced Essential Notifications: You’ll be able to set custom Glyphs for your notifications. This will work similarly to Essential Notifications but with more flexibility. However, a small limitation is that you won’t be able to access or modify notification channels for individual apps (this is due to restrictions in Android Studio). So, you’ll still have the custom Glyphs, but without control over the notification channels.
Charging Meter for Phone 2A and 2A Plus: Bringing the charging meter from Phone 2 to the 2A and 2A Plus models!
That’s the first build in a nutshell! I’m really excited to get feedback from you all once the beta begins.
Quick question for you all—do you think these features are enough to launch the beta, or would you like to see more in the first release? I feel like this set of features is a solid start, but I’m open to suggestions!
And of course, huge thanks to the two people who helped me out:
Aryan_tghw for the coding—couldn’t have done it without your help!
@SelvaHari for the UI design—the app’s look and feel is all thanks to you.
@Ali Fakhruddin for your guidance throughout the process
RapidZapper for guidance for GDK process
Looking forward to your thoughts
