A new Glass Icon Pack has arrived for Android users, and it’s a perfect match for Nothing Phones. Inspired by Apple’s recently announced Liquid Glass user interface for iPhones, this icon pack brings a transparent, glass-like style to Android devices.
Created by a developer who shared the app directly with tech reviewers, the icon pack offers a clean and modern look. Once installed, users can apply the icon pack through their phone’s customization settings. The pack currently supports 4,977 app icons and allows users to request icons for apps that are not yet covered. It also includes 29 wallpapers that can be downloaded separately.
The icon pack is available in two versions:
- Nothingness (Light Glass) – A transparent, light-themed glass icon pack.
- Glass Dark – A darker glass effect suitable for dark mode users.
Users can switch between light and dark modes, and the pack works well in both, though dark mode offers better visibility in some cases. The developer has also included codes for free downloads as a surprise for early users. Normally, the Nothingness pack costs around ₹70, while Glass Dark is priced at about ₹30–₹35.
This icon pack is great for users who want a trendy and minimal look for their Android phones, especially for those using Nothing devices. While it doesn’t add major functionality, it helps give your phone a fresh and stylish appearance.

Kea: Button Remapper has received a major update that brings a new Floating App Sidebar, Action Combos, more customization options and several new features for Android users.
The update also brings a redesigned user interface with improved animations, blur effects and a cleaner overall look. While Kea remains available as a free app, some of the new features are available through the paid Kea Pro version.
Floating App Sidebar
One of the main additions in the update is the new Floating App Sidebar. It allows users to pin their favorite apps and actions and quickly access them from anywhere on the phone.
Users can add apps such as YouTube, Instagram, Gmail, games, and more, as well as actions, to the sidebar. The sidebar also supports customization for its position, number of rows and columns, background, icon style, and accent color.
The background can be changed between transparent, translucent and solid styles. Users can also choose different icon styles and customize the sidebar’s color using the available color options and color wheel.
Action Lab Combos
Another new feature is Action Lab Combos. It allows users to perform multiple actions with a single button press.
For example, users can create a shortcut that mutes media volume and enables Do Not Disturb at the same time. This can be useful during meetings when multiple settings need to be changed quickly.
Users can also create their own custom combos by selecting multiple actions and arranging them into a sequence.
Voice and Call Recording
Kea Pro also adds shortcuts for voice recording and call recording using the Nothing Recorder widget.
After setting up the required Recorder widget, users can assign a button press to start or stop recording. Saved recordings can then be accessed through the Nothing Recorder app.
More Customization
The update brings several new options for Kea’s visual overlays. Users can choose different styles, including Dark, Frosted and Smoke themes.
There are also different animation effects, while the position of the overlay can be adjusted for different hardware keys. Kea Pro users can further customize the accent color and use a color wheel for more control over the appearance.
More Features for Nothing Phones
Kea Pro also includes several features designed for Nothing Phone users. These include Glyph Torch and Glyph Timer shortcuts.
Users can assign these features to different button gestures. The app also supports shortcuts such as Circle to Search, QR code scanning and additional hardware button actions.
The app also supports volume button mapping and power button customization, giving users more ways to control different actions using physical buttons.
Free Version Still Available
Kea: Button Remapper continues to offer a free version with more than 30 actions and support for four different button gestures. The free version also includes features such as visual overlays, lock screen controls and a Quick Settings tile.
The Floating App Sidebar, Action Combos, volume button mapping, voice and call recording, Glyph shortcuts and other additional features are available with Kea Pro.
Kea Pro is offered as a one-time lifetime purchase, giving users permanent access to the Pro features after purchasing it.

Google Photos has started rolling out a new update that introduces powerful AI editing tools along with a fresh user interface. The highlight of this update is the “Reimagine” feature, which lets users edit and transform their photos in completely new ways.
With this update, users can now:
- Erase objects from photos with just a tap.
- Move objects around within an image.
- Apply portrait blur to the background.
- Experiment with Sky Styles to change how the sky looks.
- Use Reimagine to change colors, add new elements like airplanes, or even transform objects into something different.
The update is rolling out through the Google Play Store, so users only need to update their Google Photos app to the latest version. The features are already appearing on many Android devices, including Nothing Phones.
While Nothing’s own Gallery app doesn’t yet include AI editing, Google Photos is filling that gap by offering advanced tools. Users have already tested features like erasing cars, changing their colors, and adding new objects seamlessly into photos.
Overall, this update makes Google Photos a powerful editing tool, giving Android users easy access to AI-driven creativity right inside their photo gallery.
