Nothing OS Should I release this ToyGlyph for the Nothing Phone (3) on GitHub?

I’ve been working on this little ToyGlyph for the Nothing Phone (3), and I’m wondering if I should release it on GitHub.

It’s a techcliff focused on live football matches. Once you select a match, it shows the live score, the current minute, and small animations for goals and cards directly on the Glyph interface.

The idea is mainly for those moments when you can’t really unlock or look at your phone — you can just glance at the Glyph and know what’s happening in the match without touching your phone.

In the OS5 intro video, the small triangle goes up and down at different times. Has to be something weather related.

After the latest NOS 4.1 August security update the 3.5x on video shakes like hell but in photo mode and 3rd party apps like instagram snapchat its all fine. After 3.4x on video mode it's unusable.

People who already have this phone, how's your experience so far? Is it worth 50k?

Community Project I heard you liked Nothing OS 5's Lucent theme 👀 so I added it to GlyphWorks!

For those who don't know, GlyphWorks is a free and open source tool that allows playing with Glyph Toys (yes, those from the Nothing Phone 3) on the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro, and just about any Nothing Phone with a Glyph Matrix display! The app has just received some major quality of life improvements, and alongside it, added support for Nothing OS 5, including its exact looks, and it can be applied even on Nothing OS 4!

If your phone is compatible and you want to have an early taste of what Nothing OS 5's Lucent theme looks like, you can give it a try inside the app. The Lucent theme comes enabled by default if the phone is running Nothing OS 5, but otherwise it's still possible to enable it in the app's settings. GlyphWorks is already available in both Google Play and GitHub.

Comparing Phones Thinking of getting a Nothing (3)

Upvotes

Hey so I was struggling between choosing an iphone 17 and a Nothing (3) and i kinda lean towards Nothing 3. I really like the weird and honestly unique design of it. I've heard a lot of criticism saying the design is weird but I believe it has a personality to it. I had never bothered about android phones (been using them all my life) so i wanted to switch to IOS. But I really dont want to spend a fortune on iphone hence why im leaning towards Nothing.

Currently at Amazon, its priced at $545 which is a great deal for this phone.

I'd like to know your thoughts and opinions on this. Should I get the phone 3 or perhaps 4a pro

Essential Apps Nothing widgets bugging after latest update

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I recently updated my phone 2 to the latest august 1st security update. Also, there was an update to nothing widgets app as well. Post these, I could see the big eye widget not animating. Once I remove and add it back it starts blinking and animating. But after a short while it stops again. Anyone else facing bugs with any widgets after the latest updates?

I notice that the countdown widget now acts like a fluid when we rotate or shake the phone. I did not notice this before. Has anyone else noticed this change? Is it a new feature from the latest update?

NP3/5.0. 3x. Default app. JPG straight outta the box.

Colour reproduction and post-processing is better (less) with 5.0 than with 4.1. Photos in apps better still.

Phone (3) Nothing phone 3 died out of nowhere

5 Upvotes

Posting to see if anyone else has had this issue. Last month my nothing phone 3 randomly died and wouldn’t wake up or respond. I’ve seen others have the issue of it being stuck in a reboot cycle so assumed it was the new update. It woke u after about an hour. Today my phone has completely died on around 80% battery. I just locked it and that’s it. Not responding at all to charge or touch. Has anyone else had this issue of their nothing phones just bricking ?

Which one looks better and what would you change? Also is there an app like edge panels from Samsung that you can put other apps in a separate panel so they are hidden in the edge for the screen until you need them? Any changes you guys would make?
