Question to EVERYBODY:
do you have an idea to recognize any ROM easily? I already use the SDK function, it is not enough I think.
Description
2BOrange provides an easy way to install ROM or any package on a device, get push notification of the updates, a powerful GPS device localizer which resist to hard reset, and few other tools to improve your device experience (system app uninstaller, task killer...).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pommedeterresautee.twoborange2
What you can do:
As a user:
- download a ROM / Kernel... from our server and install it with two click
- get push notification when update are available
- Protect your phone against loss with a GPS localizer.
- Backup / Restore your phone
- Uninstall system application
- Kill background tasks
- get some technical information about your device
As a developer:
- upload your stuff on www.2borange.com server OR make a link to your server / Dropbox
- create your own script to manage your ROM
- add some add on package easily
What is improved compared to other ROM Manager:
- easy and quick to create an account on the server
- easy way to implement your own script to manage your ROM
- push notification to users when you upload your stuff (use the C2DM Google technology -> don't use any extra battery)
- a very beautiful interface (original + follows Google UI guidelines)
- you can have download from a link to your personal server, or even a Dropbox account!!!
- Add Md5Sum Check (file integrity check)
How Does ROM Manager part works?
Short version:
You can post on the server a zip plus the shell script to install the zip on the device.
Long version:
There are 2 parts in the project, a website, and an Android application.
Android application download files and execute it on the phone.
The website is used to upload the package.
A package is composed of two parts:
- a mandatory text file which contains the shell commands to execute
- an optional zip file which contains any file necessary to the execution of the command, like a ROM to install.
The website address: http://www.2borange.com
ROM Supported:
- SLIM (Samsung i9000, SG2, Vibrant, Nexus, Crespo, Crespo 4G)
- Tiramisu (Samsung i9000)
- Sedan Class (Samsung Vibrant)
MOD Supported:
- Beats Audio&Xloud (any phone) What is different from other GPS localizer available on Google Play:
- uses Google C2DM technology, it means that even s your phone is always ready to send its GPS position to you, it doesn't use any extra battery
- if your phone is rooted, the application will resist to a hard reset, as soon as the phone is reused (registration with Google server) the application is able to send its GPS position to you.
- if GPS is not available, application uses GSM triangulation (less precision but works almost everywhere)
Is it Free ? Is it Open Source?
It is totally free.
Android application is open source (GPL 2 License), no paid version to come.
I have tons of ideas for the next steps, but I want your opinion, don't hesitate to ask me to add some functions, I will be happy to program it.
Give it a try and share your opinion here.
Regards.

Hi benedek92,
The good news is that your tablet FC after you request the position, it means the notification arrives to your tablet.
My guess is that the bug is due to the localization process, as it uses both GPS and GSM. Because your tablet have no GSM connection, the request to this function probably creates the FC.
You can help me easily, can you install the application "alogcat". It shows a log of your phone. After installing it, ask for a GPS localization. It will FC. After the FC, goes in alogcat, and in the text, you will see red text. It is the error.
In alogcat, you can share the log (option button), send it to me to this email: contact[at]2borange.com (please replace the [at] by @) or post it in this thread.
It should be not so hard to fix.
Thank you for your help!

If your phone is stolen or lose, having the GPS is good, but having the phone number of the inserted SIM card could be cool also (you can call directly the new "owner" of your phone).
That is why I included the phone number in the GPS localization Email.
I have not thought to the tablet which have no phone number (SIM card for tablet are just for data).
How do you use your tablet as a phone? Through Skype or directly like any phone? I mean you have a phone number where people can call you on your tab? As per the log you sent me there is no phone number associated with your tab!

The original Galaxy Tab can be used as a GSM phone. So yes,I have a phone number where people can call me.This is my 'mobilephone'.

In this log too there is no phone number! Means probably that there is probably a special API for your tablet.
I will fix the 2 bugs I ve discovered in your logs so you will be able to localize without crashing (but no phone number in the email), and after I will try the app on the emulator with the Samsung tablet image to see how I can fix that.

Well, thank you. It would be great when I would be able to recieve the location via email. Thank you for this app
Can the custom ROM be the problem?
BTW,if I remember well,in Eclipse there is Samsung Galaxy Tab emulator but with Froyo.

Hi++
Introducing microsoft windows phone 8 new features (listed by SPIDER7 :fingers-crossed
(source= wpcentral )
1- Internet explorer 10
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
A number of highlighted features included in Internet Explorer 10 for Windows Phone:
Hardware-Accelerated Graphics. Uses your phone’s built-in GPU to improve performance when rendering HTML5-based animation or video in the browser.
Faster JavaScript Engine. When rendering webpages based on JavaScript, Internet Explorer in Windows Phone 8 is up to seven times faster than the version in Windows Phone 7.5.
Improved Support for HTML5 and W3C Web Standards. Including CSS3, SVG, DOM, XHTML, and ECMAScript. Support for HTML5 is double what it was in Windows Phone 7.5, including new support for HTML5 touch events.
A Clean UI Design. Enables you to experience the beauty of the Web instead of the browser frame.
Protected Mode. Helps improve security by constraining the browser session to a low-rights security sandbox.
Tab Isolation. Runs each browser tab in a separate process so that one poorly-designed website won’t crash the entire browser or affect other tabs.
2- Live wallpapers
3- NFC sharing between Windows Phone 8 and Android
4- Xbox music
Xbox Music has been designed to work across multiple devices and allow for a more seamless music playing experience. You’ll be able to buy music from the phone using the store and later either stream or download that purchase to another device like your Surface tablet or Windows 8 laptop.
Windows Phone 8 will allow you to see download or stream previous purchase from your ‘cloud collection’
5- Data Sense
++
Nokia Counters - similar functionality to Data Sense for all windows phone devices
6- One note mobile
you can now dictate a note and have it automatically transcribed into OneNote. Using voice to text technology you can save yourself some typing and let Windows Phone 8 do the work for you. Using this function is similar to how speech to text works in Windows Phone 7, hold down the start button to enable speech and say “Note” and commence dictating your notes. The feature will even work while the screen is locked if you wish it to, saving you having to unlock the phone.
8- New Accents
9- Rooms
These are the features available to the group you create in this application:
Room Chat Unlike with group texting, every Room member in a Room Chat session sees each other’s messages and replies, making it easy to keep everyone in-the-loop—and only Room members can see those messages. And with the new Location Sharing feature you can just as easily let everyone else in a Room know exactly where they are.
Shared Calendar Every Room has a shared calendar, which all Room members can view and update. If anyone adds an event or makes a change, it is automatically synced to all other Room members’ phones.
Shared Photo Album Rooms also provide a shared photo and video album—just share a photo or video with a Room and it’ll be visible to all Room members.
Shared Notes Rooms also make it easy to share OneNote notes, which are automatically synced across all Room members’ phones.
10- Wallet
One of the new features with Windows Phone 8 is the Wallet app. Microsoft has added a digital wallet that you can use to keep your debit, credit, loyalty and membership card information handy on your Windows Phone.
11- The Kid's Corner
Kid's Corner will introduce new ways for parents to allow their children to access content on their Windows Phone without the concern of accidental misuse. But it's not only limited to children, should you wish to lend your device to friends or the loved one for a minute or so, and wish to keep private areas of the device secure, Kid's Corner can be provided with peace of mind.
++I'll waiting for more

Maybe that settings is in another place because they confirmed the custom Accent colors !
Some of these features are already available in WP7.5
One note, data counters (for nokia only), Xbox muxic is the same as zune, and a few more will come in 7.8 lol.
Not really a big loss as it seems, for old windows phone users.
two new features:
1. Allow multiple mobile no.
2. Enable any languages.
see attched snapshot from MS Community forum. I do not have WP8, can anyone confirm?
++
update
++
12-New features for Skype
First, and maybe the most important improvement, is that Skype can keep you signed-in and reachable even when you've closed out the Skype app. Skype stays asleep in the background until an incoming call or message is received. Not only can you receive calls just like you would through your wireless carrier but staying dormant, you save battery life.
The new Skype app also automatically adds your Skype contacts to your People Hub. This will allow you to start a Skype conversation directly from a person's contact card.
Other improvements include Live Tile support to show unread message counts and/or a text preview of the most recent message and Skype notifications for your Lock Screen.
++
update
++
13-multiple select
-we can see the “select multiple” option in the gallery; which is a huge relief for many who have faced the horror of wanting to delete more than one picture (God forbid).
14-In App purchase
-support for NFC, contactless payments, deals, loyalty cards and the likes
++This feature is just for wp8
15-Group Tile will be a live tile ( like the people tile )
Another little tweak to the Windows Phone 8 People Hub has been noticed. Besides the Recent Contacts now being a vertical pivot, another pivot has been added for groups specifically, showing a similar animation to the start screen People tile.
The discovery shows there is likely many more small changes in Windows Phone 8, which, despite the emulator leak, we will likely only really discover once we hold a real device in our hands.
16- 4 Hot in one
16.1-You will be able to Search from the lock screen
16.2-Download Maps for offline use
16.3-Basic Photo Editing tools like crop, rotate, fix, aspect ratio, etc will be included in the OS
16.4-Voicemail, Email, Text or IM, Email Notification Support
------------------------------------------------
++more coming soon

17-paste in dialer
Microsoft did not allow one to paste phone numbers into the dialler. This has been such a problem that there has even been apps developed to allow one to copy a phone number from a web page or IM for example and paste it into an app, which would then dial the number.
Like with so many things, Microsoft finally fixed the issue in Windows Phone 8

Ok, thanks. However, I think the multiple mobile no. is still limited to 2? From the hotmail, now I see Mobile 2 becomes available, but still you cannot customize it, e.g. change "Mobile" to Mobile-Personal, change "Mobile 2" to "Mobile-Company" etc. or add more than 2 no.

yes easy dial and few others are great apps for WP7. Only problem for me on all of these is the fact that the tile of the app cannot show missed calls. This of course its due to limitation of WP7, not because people dont want to include this function to their apps. The way the home screen and notifications is build in WP7 would mean basically having 2 tiles for dialing and ehh, its too much. Smart dial is something I thought was very strange that it wasnt present in WP7, but I have got used to dialing from people hub.

Thanks.
Some of the features you missed
1) Now you can take screen shots with the phone, this was demoed long back in the first look of Windows Phone
2) Custom lens, you can have apps that create Custom Lens for the Phone for taking pictures
3) Downloadable Maps for offline Maps support.

18-Dual Core Chipsets
Microsoft plans to have the latest and greatest hardware on their new phones, and that includes dual-cores and more (read, multi-cores).
19- 3 Screen Resolutions
WP8 will no longer be restricted to the lowly 800×480 (by today’s standards). Coming forth are 2 new resolutions, HD (1280×720) as well as WXGA (1280×728). The second resolution spec is particularly interesting. WXGA keeps direct aspect ratio compatibility with WP7′s WVGA screen resolution.
20-Micro SD Card support
Not having Micro SD slots was a bummer with Windows Phone 7 as that pretty much limited offline storage capacity. Most phones were stuck with 8 GB of storage (less than 6 GB useful most of the times). For an office guy, it might be enough. But start to take pictures and carry them around, store music and apps and you would soon be running into tight spots. We are glad MS addressed this petty problem with WP7 and is introducing the feature (finally) with WP8.

22-More Countries, More Languages
In their continued expansion, Microsoft highlights the number of different countries and languages in which their apps will be available.

Any improvement of the calendar tile?
Thanks for this thread and info!
Is there any improvement of the calendar tile. In particular, more than 1 appointment showing on the start screen tile (Such a big tile of nothingness in WP7). I'd like to see 3 or 4 appointments. Ideally the ability to control how many and from what calendar, all day or not. At present one has to achieve this via third party apps.
What you need
A Windows Phone with accelerometer and compass (magnetometer). (Gyroscope not required - but makes every movement smoother and more accurate)
App Headtrackr ($2, full featured trial available)
PC
Opensource software opentrack
A pc game that supports FreeTrack/TrackIR or a similar protocol (e.g. Star Citizen, Elite: Dangerous, Euro Truck Simulator 2 and many more)
headband / hair tie / tape or something similar strap your phone to your head / headphones / headset (see pictures at the end for examples)
Video of head tracking with Headtrackr in Star Citizen:
Tutorial/Instructions also available as PDF and Word document here: www.headtrackr.com/instructions
And available in german here: www.headtrackr.de/instructions
First of
Please note, Headtrackr only transmits your movements to your PC. The desktop application opentrack then relays the movements to your game via different protocols (most commonly freetrack). I, the developer of Headtrackr, am not affiliated with the developers of opentrack or freetrack.
If a game does not support head tracking you have to contact the developer of that game and ask them to implement freetrack! I will not be able to do anything.
To test whether the game you would like to use head tracking with works, you can install the free trial version of Headtrackr!
Instructions
Setup
Install Headtrackr
Preconfigured download of opentrack 2.3 rc5: View attachment opentrack_2.3_rc5_d.zip Onedrive mirror: here.
The latest version of opentrack can always be downloaded from the official site here.
Please note: All tested versions will be listed below. It’s not guaranteed newer untested versions work with headtrackr!
Open the Zip file and extract it to a location of your liking. No installation needed.
Configuration
You can download a preconfiguration file here (right click -> save as)
Save it to the “settings” folder in your opentrack install folder and you can skip the opentrack config steps
Start opentrack.exe
Opentrack configuration steps
Select “UDP sender” as Tracker.
Tap on the “…” button on the right to select a port, in this example we’ll be using “4242” (If there are any problems with receiving data, change the port!).
If you have a firewall, you might need to allow this port in your firewall settings.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
On “Protocol” select “freetrack 2.0 Enhanced” for most games. Some games only support other protocols but freetrack is the most common.
On “Filter” select “Accela”. Tap on “…” and set a small value for both “Rotation smoothing” and “Translation smoothing” as seen below. This will filter out any inaccuracies from the sensors on your phone and make everything smoother.
Now on to the “Mapping” settings:
On the tabs “Yaw”, “Pitch” and “Roll” you can select a movement mapping. At the default mapping settings there is a 1:1 mapping, meaning you have to turn your head 180 degrees to move the view in your game 180 degrees. (This of course is not feasible since you can’t see the monitor anymore).
For all three I suggest a setting of 100:180 (see screenshots below)
Now on to settings that depend on how you strap your phone to your head and on the game you want to play
On the “Options” tab of the “Mapping” settings there are the “Output remap” settings.
Set Yaw, Roll and Pitch so, that your character follows your movements. If for example your character looks right, while you look left, you have to check “Invert” on “Yaw”. Same for looking up/down (Pitch) and rolling your head.
(You can also use the small octopus as a test before you start your game. It should move exactly like your in-game character)
Click the “Save” button to save these as your default settings.
Whenever you want to start tracking or testing, click “Start”.
Phone configuration steps
Unfortunately Windows Phone does not allow tracking movement with the display turned off. Because the display is one of the biggest battery drainers I would recommend the following (however, it is not needed for the app to work):
Turn your display brightness to the lowest setting (not needed with OLED displays)
Turn on Quiet mode, battery saver and/or airplane mode. This saves power and also ensures no interruption while playing.
Headtrackr setup
Make sure your phone’s WiFi is on and connected to the same network your PC is connected to.
Start Headtrackr
Tap on “Configuration” and enter your PC’s IP address and the port that was selected in opentrack.
That’s it, now you can test your connection:
Click on start in opentrack and then on “test connection” in Headtrackr. You should see the octopus turning left and right. If not, your connection is not working. Make sure you have entered the correct IP address / Port and both phone and pc are connected to the same network.
Save the configuration by pressing “Confirm”.
That’s it, you are now ready to start.
Tips and Tricks
Use the head shaking feature of Headtrackr to re-center your view in game. Simply shake your head and one second after the audio cue has played your view will take your current orientation as the new center value. In settings you can adjust the sensitivity of the head shake detection.
Known problems with opentrack and games
Tested opentrack versions: opentrack 2.3 rc5 and opentrack 2.3 rc9.
Please note: opentrack 2.3 is still in development and not withour errors.
Known problems with opentrack 2.3 rc5
“Output remap” can map one axis to another. (E.g. you can’t set that pitch means roll and roll means pitch)
Known problems with opentrack 2.3 rc9
On opentrack 2.3 rc9 and higher you have to first click “Start” in opentrack and then on the phone via “START TRACKING”. If you start tracking on your phone first, the re-centering feature of Headtrackr doesn’t work correctly.
Known problems with Star Citizen
At this moment, Star Citizen is still in alpha. Sometimes headtracking does not work. Restarting Star Citizen, opentrack and sometimes your pc can fix that problem. (Tests have shown that Star Citizen works better with opentrack 2.3 rc5 than the current newer versions)
Problem: No Text-To-Speech output in Headtrackr
Speech for your language has to be installed. Go to system settings -> language and make sure of that. If it’s not installed you can do that there.
Examples of how you can easily strap your phone to your head
Why did I develop Headtrackr?
I have always waited for a viable virtual reality headset. With Oculus Rift we might get one in a few months/years. But I just couldn't wait that long. Unfortunately the next best thing (TrackIR) costs way to much for me (180€). (Or rather: I think it costs way to much for the features it delivers)
I already had a Windows Phone and multiple apps released, so I developed Headtrackr as an alternative to TrackIR.
You might ask yourself: Why is Headtrackr so much cheaper than TrackIR? It must be pretty bad.
No, TrackIR is so expensive because you pay for the hardware as well as the software. With your phone you already have all the hardware you need and only need the software!
I personally can't go back to playing games like Star Citizen without head tracking.
If you find any bugs, have any questions or have any suggestions feel free to contact me in the comments, per pm, mail or from inside the app.

hi i am trying to use headtrackr with my phone acting both as an HMD/vr.headset and as an gyroscope data sender for opentrack..
my problem is that i can get headtrack to work in potrait mode but not in landscape with screen facing my face..
would be really awesome if Headtrackr could receive an update to fix this problem it would act not only as a headtracker device for freetrack games bu also for VR games !!
i hope that this can happen some day awesome app btw

I noticed this problem a few months ago. I wrote a UWP version of Headtrackr with the goal to fix this problem and make it possible to work with VR games. The current version is still a WP8 app that can't work when it's not in the foreground, so it can't have any other app open (for streaming your pc's video output).
Unfortunately I hit a snag that I was unable to figure out. (Worked on it for 3-4 weeks) The sensor API in Windows 10 has this problem where when your phone is in landscape and you look in certain directions it suddenly changes axises and angles. I was unable to find any documentation on this issue. Why this happens, how this happens or how to compensate for it. It's one of the most frustrating things I have encountered. This problem did not exist in Wp7.5 or Wp8. I was planning on taking another look at it in a few weeks.
I was really confused, because I was reading everywhere on how this api is meant for VR and AR but could'nt find a single example that actually worked correctly without those issues.
i see so facing two problems here,
here is an idea how about adding VNC capability to headtrackr, this way there will be no reason to switch to a streaming app..
i also found this article seemed relevant.. especially the sensorbatching feature and readingtransform-initialize..
WP VR is really a lackluster unfortunately :/
Yeah, I solved the problem with background head tracking with the UWP app. That works by registering the app as an "ExtendedExecution" with LocationTracking as its type which allows the headtracking code to continue running while the streaming app is in foreground. (I also thought about creating a combined Headtracking and Streaming app, but for the time being that would take to long)
The article you linked is unfortunately useless. I read it a few months ago. At first I thought that would be the solution but in reality it doesn't change anything. Since then Microsoft seems to have released some online courses on the subject (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/mt715765.aspx). I'll go through them tomorrow to see how they solved the sensor problem.
Believe me, I would be more than happy to find a solution to this. I have been looking forward to try one of my devices as a VR device for some time.

Head tracking eh? Pretty slick! Keep up your progress guys.
so i decompiled the original BTNotification app and after a lot of cleaning up and debugging and reverse engineering their systems, i have finally been able to cobble together a functional version of the app.
This is a customized version of the smartwatch companion app for MTK smartwatches with a few improvements !
No spyware !
The original app had a lot of spyware / analytics in it and i did my best to try and remove all of it
(if you notice any please let me know !)
Better notifications !
The icon that comes with notifications now has black background instead of white , gives better look to watches with black UI
more detailed notifications with more actionable information (like message text etc.) and notifications works with more apps !
can use standard notifications by enabling privacy mode, works exactly like the BTNotification app
Can use front camera for your smartwatch remote camera
just dial a call to the number 00*001 from your smartwatch or phone (the call is automatically blocked )
just call it again to switch camera to rear camera again.
Can open any HTML app / link on your smartwatch with the remote camera
just need to dial a call to the number 00*002 from your smartwatch or phone
call 00*003 to stop opening the app and switch to camera again.
[ by default this opens an analog watch, change the link in the app to open something else]
codes supported currently
switch camera = 00*001
open HTML mode = 00*002
camera mode =00*003
find my phone feature
the phone now vibrates and even if silent the phone will ring !
Release Notes
smarty V1.0.apk
changed minimum sdk version to 16 from 20
Smarty v0.1.ds.apk
uses dual signature v1 and v2
try this if getting "app not installed" error
Missing Features
Can't block certain apps from sending notification yet, looking to add this in soon!
test it out and see if you like it !
the app requires permission to notification and accessibility service simply for allowing both types of notifications.

does the app show that the watch is not connected even if it is? if yes then try this, turn off bluetooth and click "restart service" in smarty app, that should automatically switch bluetooth on and try to connect to the smartwatch through the app.
:good:
Today, I checked this option again and does not works. I restarted application and bluetooth on my twice devices. It does not works. It is not bad for me because I do not use it. I only tested it and reported to you as appreciate your works. For me this is application is brilliant and works in 99%. Notifications works but for me the most imporant thing is that synchronization date and time works on dz09. It is really helpful. Thanks again.

have you tested the front camera mode or html mode?
there could be further development on those and we might get basic apps like Google Maps to display on our smartwatch!
I am glad that the app is helpful for you, but can you check and tell me if the "find watch" feature works in the original BTNotification app, in that app it is called "Looking Watch", because if that doesn't work then your watch doesn't support this feature and we might have to trick it into playing sound.
thanks!
Smarty on dz09 (clone?)
Hello,
the application seems to be great but most of the pages in html mode do not open/appear at all. Is it an issue about memory (clone watch has not enough of it? Can i delete application that does not work anyway, like fb or sleepmonitor?). Sometimes says camera launch failed or just shows a blue square. Some pages would appear but first the 'accept cookies' layer pops up so can't see what's behind. Sometimes the bare/empty background appears (ie flightradar24 a grey background without planes etc.)
Anyway thanks in advance and well done so far, hope to see improvement soon...

you can get rid of the accept cookies prompt by accepting the cookies on your phone (in the smarty app itself), the web-page is loaded on the phone itself and streamed onto the watch hence there is no memory issue, but also there isn't really a way yet to control the web-page except the settings in the app itself , the biggest issue isn't memory but that the screen size is small to the point that many websites just don't support it well enough.
the feature is mostly intended to be used to develop our own simple web-apps that are designed with the screen-size limitations in mind,
however a few mobile versions of websites may work!
cheers!

would it be possible to have the list of applications for which to set up notifications? thank you so much

I have put no ads in the app, and in my use of it have not experienced any either, could you check if there is some other application that may be responsible ?
And to the other posters, unfortunately I have not been able to work on the app any more since the last build and so the blocking certain apps feature isn't there yet

We’re delighted to share our Nothing Launcher (Beta) with you. The very first peak into Nothing (OS). And we want your feedback to better the next iterations.
Update : 09/05/2022 : Good news. Nothing Launcher (Beta) is now available for all devices with Android 11 and higher.
Preview graphics and animations unified by our distinctive (and, let’s be honest, super cool) design language, plus:
Max Icons and Max Folders: A new experience for Android. Hold and press to enlarge app folders or individual apps, so the things you use the most are more visible. Launch any app directly from your folders. Max cool, huh?
Bespoke Clock & Weather widgets: Raw tech, balanced by human warmth. These widgets use the same dot matrix font as our logo. Wear Nothing from head to toe.
Nothing Wallpaper & Style: Update your home screen with the Nothing wallpaper and matching colour palette. Co-ords are very trendy these days.
Wait. There’s more. We’re giving you bonus content you can download here:
Two more exclusive wallpapers: Two wallpapers in addition to the wallpaper in Launcher (Beta).
Ringtones by teenage engineering: Try 3 ringtones tuned by the audiophiles at teenage engineering. Sounds good, doesn’t it?
Can’t wait? Here’s how to get it:
Step 1: Download the Nothing Launcher (Beta) via the Google Play Store
Step 2: Go to Settings > Apps > Default Apps > Default Home App
Step 3: Select Nothing Launcher
Nothing Launcher (Beta) is now available for all devices with Android 11 and higher. Download on the Google Play Store.
Have it already? Update it now to get these new improvements:
Launcher app icon now available on the home screen.
New How to Set Up page when you open Launcher for the first time
Easily change to the Nothing wallpaper with the pop-up box.
For easy access, the Dropbox link to download bonus wallpapers and ringtones now sits in Launcher settings.
Don’t forget to send your feedback on our Discord server or via [email protected].
The Nothing Team
You should know by now that a launcher without your feedback is nothing. So join the conversation and please let us know what you think. You can either:
Place your feature requests in the Future Ideas section of our forums (one request per topic, please)
Join our Discord server and post your feedback on ⎮launcher-feedback
Compose an email to [email protected].
This is the most important bit:
include step-by-step details,
phone model,
OS version
and screenshots/recordings
so our team can replicate your experience for testing and troubleshooting.
Don’t forget to retweet the release to let friends and family know about this window into our OS. Link is here.

No port to slam this on our OnePlus or whatever devices anyway? Why wouldn't it work anyway? It's just a launcher...

Hi
Like to me, I can't port to my OP7T.
The developers are working on porting to the OP phones, but we have to wait a little bit more for our OP.
And next step is to port on almost phones, but it's a long work for Dev's.
Seems strange to only preview this on newer phones. I have an older Pixel and plan to replace it soon.
I guess a guy looking for a new phone isn't the target audience of your new phone.

Yeah but in hindsight it's not that valuable when coming from Nova. I've tried it when they made it available for OnePlus phones and in all honesty, to me it was worth... well, Nothing

Hey everyone,
Following my post of 10 Oct 2022, I'm slightly disappointed that I didn't get anyone to take over my threads.
Spoiler: Post - 10 Oct 2022
Hello everyone,
To all members who own the Nothing Phone (1).
I am looking for someone to take over my threads.
Indeed, I was thinking of buying the Phone(1) and that's why I wrote all its threads.
Since I don't own this smartphone, I can't see myself maintaining it and continuing to answer technical questions that I can't answer now.
In case nobody would like to continue the follow-up of my threads, they would be left to the abandonment.
This is why I would like one or more members to offer to continue the maintenance.
For this:
The member(s) must be active on the threads,
Have a minimum of knowledge about Android 12, or even 13.
You need to be available and regular. Not necessarily every day, but at least once a week, ideally 2 to 3 times a week.

And so as I announced, as of today, I will no longer be doing any maintenance on all of my threads concerning the Nothing Phone(1).
From this day on, I decline any responsibility for what will be written or modified in my threads.
I wish you all a good continuation under the colours of Nothing.

I hope you succeed in achieving what you wish.
For me, the Nothing page is turned and I have been following my Pixel 7 Pro for 2 weeks and I am very happy with it.
Have a good time with your NP1.
Ok ciao
