This app basically elevates your overall Glyph experience providing more features and more toys for Phone (3). This post is exclusively for explaining about the Glyph Matrix features and toys. 1. Now starting with the download and installation:Head to the play store, go to the search bar and search for "SmartGlyph" and search it. The app will appear and the app name shown will be "SmartGlyph: Customize Glyphs" as the photo below Thumbnail and videos: @"KULDEEP_DAS_29"#25666 [upl-image-preview uuid=31a2c794-ed43-4ca1-929f-a6d721dbef11 url=https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-08-20/1755691413-573986-whatsapp-image-2025-08-20-at-52409-pm.jpg alt={TEXT?}] 1\. Welcome screen: When the app is opened for the first time an introductory screen is visible which shows all the information for first time app openers. Or basically a welcome screen. It shows the glyph part depending on the device, next page will have the developer name, some special exclusive features for all the phones, and lastly a key information to ensure smooth workflow of the app. [upl-image-preview uuid=a25ef819-4ee4-41f2-81c2-9949029b749d url=https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-08-20/1755706789-110263-whatsapp-image-2025-08-20-at-54057-pm.jpg alt={TEXT?}] [upl-image-preview uuid=263e16b8-c7d1-4718-bede-5cf3bc310801 url=https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-08-20/1755706802-237469-whatsapp-image-2025-08-20-at-54058-pm.jpg alt={TEXT?}] [upl-image-preview uuid=03e0d9c7-9e57-42a4-85f7-2d0e4cbb47f4 url=https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-08-20/1755706828-760794-whatsapp-image-2025-08-20-at-54059-pm-1.jpg alt={TEXT?}] [upl-image-preview uuid=f711b23e-2645-41bd-addc-04923539e754 url=https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-08-20/1755706828-955318-whatsapp-image-2025-08-20-at-54059-pm.jpg alt={TEXT?}] [upl-image-preview uuid=1a64bbf7-994c-4b97-81df-0d7532e74853 url=https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-08-20/1755706829-97037-whatsapp-image-2025-08-20-at-54058-pm-1.jpg alt={TEXT?}] 2\. App loading status: When the app is started for the first time after the welcome screen there is a loading screen which is inspired by Nothing OS which would take 30-40 seconds depending on the internet connection and the network speed. Without internet connection it will load within 2 seconds as it won't categorize the apps as below [upl-image-preview uuid=ed0f1bec-ba0a-4ffb-a0fb-4fed002f8414 url=https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-08-21/1755785377-401398-whatsapp-image-2025-08-20-at-54100-pm.jpg alt={TEXT?}] [upl-image-preview uuid=61299cb4-ebad-43a9-9ee4-e8028dcf8989 url=https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-08-21/1755778297-273331-e9811b67-50e6-4490-b89b-7b0f452a9888.jpg alt={TEXT?}] [upl-image-preview uuid=7342a9ba-d85a-4f40-bfc8-89f702cb4366 url=https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-08-21/1755778273-335895-616a1e5a-77aa-4f50-af12-b09eb64e59c8.jpg alt={TEXT?}] 3\. Now there first option is shown as OS. What is in that? So basically OS has some important and highlighting features. The features in OS are: 1\. Glyph Torch 2\. Advanced Essential Notifications 3\. Glyph Timer 4\. Bluetooth Connection Alert 5\. Glyph Progress 6\. Music Visualization 7\. Glyph Toys A hidden feature in OS which will be unlocked after finding the hidden Easter eg [upl-image-preview uuid=227bf452-e43d-4144-8964-e17ee2647168 url=https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-08-21/1755785805-459548-8418539e-d380-49ce-8b47-89328998326b.jpg alt={TEXT?}] a. Glyph Torch: This is basically shake to turn on or off the glyph torch. The shake intensity is kept higher for it to detect the shakes to prevent accidental turn on or off. Check the video to check how it works https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-08-21/1755778918-687571-whatsapp-video-2025-08-21-at-51549-pm.mp4 b. Advanced Essential Notifications: This basically shows the app icon or the app name of the app from which you get the notification if you select the app. You can toggle between app name or app icon depending on the preferences. Also, some complicated app icons are difficult for the glyph matrix to render accurately. The demo for app icon and app name is as below: https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-08-21/1755779561-849976-whatsapp-video-2025-08-21-at-51929-pm.mp4 https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-08-21/1755779573-13155-whatsapp-video-2025-08-21-at-43708-pm.mp4 Now the option for setting this would be in the settings of the app [upl-image-preview uuid=d67fbf9f-8f4d-4be4-b62e-45214ea9bc0e url=https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-08-21/1755779656-577062-3675b9d6-0495-449d-be65-41fb2b25a590.jpg alt={TEXT?}] [upl-image-preview uuid=b3efafdf-abe4-478c-bef4-4fe9bcfefee7 url=https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-08-21/1755779656-691571-caca3c30-6f64-453c-8223-4fc10bfe94bc.jpg alt={TEXT?}] c. Glyph Timer: Glyph timer is basically set the timer from the app UI and the reverse countdown of the timer will be shown in the glyph matrix as shown here. Also, after the time in the timer is completed a ringtone is played and it will fetch the ringtone set in the device and play. And this Glyph Timer has a quick settings tile to make it easier to access. https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-08-21/1755779851-289775-whatsapp-video-2025-08-21-at-44815-pm.mp4 d. Bluetooth Connection Alert: When the bluetooth of the Phone (3) is connected to another device, disconnected or turned off the glyph matrix will show "BT Conn", "BT Disconn" and "BT OFF" respectively https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-08-21/1755780113-473153-whatsapp-video-2025-08-21-at-45039-pm.mp4 https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-08-21/1755780232-293551-whatsapp-video-2025-08-21-at-45544-pm.mp4 e. Glyph Progress: Glyph progress basically shows the countdown starting prior 5 minutes at max of the nearest event set on the Google Calendar in this way https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-08-21/1755780506-873409-whatsapp-video-2025-08-21-at-51936-pm.mp4 f. Music Visualization: This is the music visualization is the animation which is played in the glyph matrix depending on the beats of the music. This has 2 animation modes. Core and Wave Core: https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-08-21/1755780621-247714-whatsapp-video-2025-08-21-at-52219-pm.mp4 Wave: https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-08-21/1755780687-587261-whatsapp-video-2025-08-21-at-51937-pm.mp4 There is a minor issue for this feature. So when Music Visualization is turned on it overrides other Glyph Matrix features. Meaning other features won't work even if no song is being played. Trying to fix this will partially break this feature so couldn't fix it. I will soon add a quick setting tile for this as well which will make it easier to turn on or turn off. So, I recommend turning off this feature when not needed so other features and toys work. g. Glyph Toys: This shows information and some minor settings for the Glyph Toys 4\. Settings: The app has a settings page for the settings where you can set dark or light theme, choose between NTypa and Ndot fonts, Quiet Hours which is basically Advanced Essential Notifications will not work between the time set in this quiet hours, Advanced Essential notification for setting if that should work when screen is off only or screen is on as well, for glyph matrix choose the option to show the App name and App icon, Music Visualization for choosing between Core and Wave animations, then privacy policy, Feedback form for sending the feedback directly from the app, changelogs for checking the changelogs which will be updated for each update, app information, and update the app if the update is available directly from the app [upl-image-preview uuid=d140c0e9-df1d-4d9f-8d1e-156feb67828c url=https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-08-21/1755781736-43535-c36160f7-7b8d-485a-97a5-f69dac00ebb6.jpg alt={TEXT?}] 5\. Feedback This has a fully functional feedback form to send the feedback directly and has the option to share logs as well if necessary [upl-image-preview uuid=1e092410-24cf-4f03-972d-3952108ecb53 url=https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-08-21/1755781871-144155-e718b3bd-83ec-4d1c-907e-29728a83835d.jpg alt={TEXT?}] 6\. Glyph Toys: This app has 6 glyph toys available in the latest version and 2 more are in the works and would be rolled out in the upcoming months. a. Active Screen Time Toy: This toy shows the active screen time of the device on the glyph matrix https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-08-21/1755782021-27923-whatsapp-video-2025-08-21-at-51937-pm-1.mp4 b. Battery Temperature: This toy shows the battery temperature of the device in Celsius or Fahrenheit depending depending on your preference in the Glyph Toys option in OS. And it shows it the temperature is COLD, WARM, HOT or OVERHT which is for Overheat https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-08-21/1755782292-143483-whatsapp-video-2025-08-21-at-51534-pm.mp4 c. Data Usage: This toy basically shows how much mobile data is used and that is calculated on daily bases. So everyday at 12 AM the data usage counter will reset and will show 0 again https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-08-21/1755782409-567034-whatsapp-video-2025-08-21-at-51938-pm.mp4 d. DND Toggle: This toys toggles between DND on or DND off directly from the Glyph Matrix. Just turn on the permission to use this toy. How to turn it on? Head to settings > Apps > Special App Access> Do Not Disturb Access > SmartGlyph and turn it on https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-08-21/1755782560-667049-whatsapp-video-2025-08-21-at-51853-pm.mp4 e. World Clock: This shows the time and data of the time zone set from the Glyph Toys option to allow seeing the time of any region https://cdn.nothing.community/2025-08-21/1755782655-214714-whatsapp-video-2025-08-21-at-53459-pm.mp4 f. Lumi: This is basically a virtual creature living on the glyph matrix. This reacts based on the phone's state. If the battery is below 15% the creature will pulse slowly, if device is charging it will pulse faster, sudden flick or change would make it pulse fast and sudden movement in its position, would move depending on the phone's position, will pulse slowly and at the center if the device is kept upside down, changes the brightness depending on the lightning in the environment, walking or running makes the Lumi pulse faster Please give feedback if you face any issues and mention how the app is Stay Tuned Thank you

Eukaliptus

I trying do some tests but all time I have info “Couldn’t connect to the server.”

Vishwam

Eukaliptus Thank you so much. I am working on it. The issue is not with my app. Actually that part uses AI and the AI service provider is under maintenance right now. Once they start their service it will start working without the need to rollout an update for the app.

JoshMarsh

Eukaliptus same here. Tried using the app twice now and still got the same server connection error.

AmanKumar_CXRjyROoS2

Still unable to make glyph progress work 🥲.

Vishwam

AmanKumar_CXRjyROoS2 What does it show?

AmanKumar_CXRjyROoS2

Vishwam it does not show anything at all. Though I see a notification saying glyph progress monitoring upcoming events.

Vishwam

AmanKumar_CXRjyROoS2 Did you set an event in the Google calendar? As of now Google calendar is only supported. And the timer starts before 5 minutes. And also there might be a delay to show on the Glyph matrix. Also, make sure Glyph Progress is toggled on in OS.

AmanKumar_CXRjyROoS2

Vishwam yes I did all those things, maybe there is some glitch with my phone.

Vishwam

AmanKumar_CXRjyROoS2 When you toggled on the Glyph progress it would have asked your Google account and a permission for Calendar right?

AmanKumar_CXRjyROoS2

Vishwam yes I’ve provided that.

Vishwam

AmanKumar_CXRjyROoS2 Then if you have an event it should show on the glyph matrix and start before 5 minutes onwards. And the event should be set in the same google account you signed-in inside the app when selecting Glyph Progress. Check the google accounts. Or if you need I will send the video of this. And when you select account in Glyph Progress if should shows signed in message at the bottom. Kindly check that as well. Or you can DM me and will will workout together.

Eukaliptus

Well, many things doesn’t work correctly. Wave glyph glitched with regular glyph toys. Tourch light after shake turn on but not turn off, and i the second try to turn on is not working. Timer glitched with regular glyph toys when you change ghlyps. AI doesn’t read correctly apps, for example i cant setup icon for chess app, only text.

Vishwam

Eukaliptus Regarding the music visualization I think I have mentioned that when that’s turned on other feature won’t work. Kindly check that. Regarding timer also I have added as a feature not a toy. So when my app access the glyph matrix other features won’t be able to access that piece of hardware. If I would have added music visualization and glyph timer as a toy not a feature then it would not be an issue.

WASIMZAHIR

Vishwam please solve the music glyph problem,such a cool function.

AmanKumar_CXRjyROoS2

By the way thanks for World clock. It’s really useful for me.

Vishwam

AmanKumar_CXRjyROoS2 Your welcome. I am glad you liked it. Thank you so much for using the app. Also for Glyph Progress if its not fixed please feel free to DM me.

WASIMZAHIR

Shake for glyph torch not working.

Vishwam

WASIMZAHIR Try shaking it harder. I have kept a high shake intensity to prevent accidental toggles

@ “abhishek_lakhani”#p204541 Thank you so much

abhishek_lakhani

Vishwam packed with useful stuff 🔥

Vishwam

WASIMZAHIR See let me try to explain you. Not sure how much you understand but still. See in this every millisecond it checks if sound is being played or not. So whenever the sound starts it can immediately play. That’s why when you lock the phone for locking sound also it animated if music visualization is turned on. So there are 2 options I have to fix this. First is I will add a 5 second delay which is make it like if a sound is being played for 5 seconds continuously then only it will start animating. And 2nd option is make it as a glyph toy. So in both the cases it can partially break the animation. In first case if I do the 5 seconds one it won’t animate for first 5 seconds and then start. And for 2nd one of I make it as a glyph toy it won’t stay on. It will turn off after the time set in settings. Like if you set that as 15 seconds that will turn off even if the music is being played. That won’t break it but it definitely turns off and won’t animate for the time the music is playing. That’s why I left it as it is. But soon to make it better to turn on or turn off I can add a quick setting tile if that is fine.

I hope you understand my limitation and what I explained

Thank you
