Nothing Phone and CMF users now have a new way to keep track of software updates. Nothing Firmware, an Android app developed by TechiBoy Studios, is now available on Google Play.

The app brings firmware update tracking, changelogs, Nothing OS OTA package downloads, and information on Nothing app updates into one place. It is designed for users who want to stay informed about the latest software releases for their devices.

What Is the Nothing Firmware App?

Nothing Firmware is an independent app built to help Nothing Phone and CMF users follow firmware releases without having to search across multiple sources.

Users can check available firmware updates, read changelogs to understand what’s changed, and download OTA packages through the app. It also tracks Nothing app updates and provides direct links to their Google Play listings.

Nothing Firmware App Features

The app includes several features designed to make software update tracking easier.

• Firmware tracking: Follow firmware releases for Nothing Phone and CMF devices.
• Detailed changelogs: Check update details and learn about new features, improvements, and bug fixes.
• OTA downloads: Download firmware packages with progress tracking.
• Update notifications: Receive alerts when new firmware releases are available.
• Nothing app updates: Track Nothing app releases and open their Google Play listings directly.
• Home screen widget: View the latest firmware information from the home screen.
• Custom alerts: Choose notification sounds and enable voice announcements for update alerts.
• Theme options: Switch between Auto, Light, and true-black Dark themes.
• Device information: Check device details, build numbers, and security patch information.

The app also includes a warning for firmware packages that do not match the detected device, helping users avoid selecting an incorrect package.

Is Nothing Firmware an Official Nothing App?

No. Nothing Firmware is an independent community project developed by TechiBoy Studios. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Nothing Technology Limited or CMF by Nothing.

How to Download Nothing Firmware

Nothing Firmware is available on Google Play. Users can download it to keep track of firmware updates, read changelogs, and follow Nothing app releases.

Download: Nothing Firmware on Google Play

If you’re already running an incremental build of Nothing OS 5.0 Open Beta, you can’t directly roll back to the stable version through a regular incremental OTA update. Nothing Firmware currently provides stable incremental updates only. Once Nothing releases the Nothing OS 5.0 stable update for your device, it will appear in the app when available. Until then, you may need to follow Nothing’s official rollback instructions if you want to return to a stable build.

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.
