How to Use Depth Effect Wallpapers with Animation on Nothing Phones (Easy Guide)
I am going to show you something cool and interesting—Depth Effect Wallpapers with animations for your Nothing Phones and even other Android phones. These wallpapers make your lock screen look amazing by adding 3D depth and animated clock effects.
Let’s see how it works and how you can apply these wallpapers step by step.
What are Depth Effect Wallpapers?
Depth Effect Wallpapers are special live wallpapers that give a 3D-like depth look to your screen. These wallpapers also show animations, like the clock moving behind the character in the wallpaper.
For example:
- When you unlock your phone, the clock appears behind the character.
- The time updates automatically.
- It looks very cool and stylish on your lock screen.

You will need some files which I will provide here. Download them to your phone.
Main file needed: Kustom KLWP App and some preset wallpapers.

Step 2: Install the Kustom KLWP App
- Download the Kustom KLWP app.
- While installing, you may face an error saying ‘App Not Installed’ because Google Play Protect might block it.
- To fix this:
- Go to Google Play Store → Your Profile → Play Protect → Settings.
- Disable ‘Scan apps with Play Protect’ and other harmful app detections temporarily.
- Now install the app again. It should work fine.
- Note: Later, enable the Scan App option in the Play Protect.
Or else you can download it from the Play Store, but you need to pay for it.
Step 3: Import and Set the Wallpapers
- Open the Custom KLWP App.
- Give all the necessary permissions.
- Go to the Download folder, where you saved the wallpapers (e.g., Goku, Itachi, Samurai, Spiderman).
- Select the folder and import the wallpaper you like (example: Itachi).
- Once loaded, tap Save, and then Set as Wallpaper → Home Screen & Lock Screen.
- Now you will see the depth effect and animation on your lock screen.
Important Tips:
- Do NOT tap on ‘Customize’ after applying the wallpaper.
If you do, the animation may freeze and stop working properly. - If this happens:
- Apply any normal wallpaper first.
- Then go back to KLWP app and reapply the depth effect wallpaper.
- After setting it again, the animation will work normally.
Note for Nothing Phone (2) and Phone (3a) Series Users:
In some models like Nothing Phone (2) or Phone (3a), the KLWP app may not work properly.
You might see bugs where the wallpaper applies, but the animation or depth effect doesn’t appear.
There is a solution: Go to the settings of KLWP by pressing three dots- App Settings – Advanced Options – Enable the Disable Parallel Rendering.
For best results:
Try this method on Nothing Phone (1), Phone (2a), CMF Phone 1, and CMF Phone 2 Pro—here the depth effect works smoothly with real-time clock animation.
Final Advice:
- Avoid putting any widgets or icons at the top of your lock screen.
- After everything is done, don’t forget to go back to the Google Play Store → Play Protect Settings and enable the protections back again for safety.

So that’s how you can easily apply depth effect wallpapers with animations on your Nothing Phone or other Android phones. It will make your device look unique and more attractive.

Nothing has rolled out a new update for its Essential Space app (version 1.0.13), bringing some useful features and improvements for users.
One of the biggest highlights is the transcription feature, now available on the Nothing Phone (3). With this, users can get a complete transcription of their Flip to Record content, making it easier to keep track of recordings in written form.
The update also adds a Select All option within individual modules, giving users better control and convenience while managing their content.
Apart from new features, the update also focuses on improving the overall experience. It includes several bug fixes and stability enhancements to make the app run smoother and more reliable.
Nothing continues to improve Essential Space with regular updates, ensuring users get more value and a seamless experience on their devices.
Nothing has rolled out a new software update for the Nothing Phone (2a). The update is called Nothing OS 3.2 (September Update) and is now available to users. It comes with a download size of 158 MB and also includes the latest September 1, 2025 Android security patch.
One of the most notable changes in this update is the introduction of the Nothing Gallery app as the default photo viewer in the camera app. Users now get the option to choose between Nothing Gallery and Google Photos, but the company recommends using its own gallery for faster previews and smoother performance. This move highlights Nothing’s efforts to strengthen its in-house ecosystem.
The update also adds new features to widgets. Along with the Photo widget, users can now share the Pedometer widget (step counter) and the Screen Time widget with others. The update further enhances interaction by introducing a set of new nine stickers that can be used to react when sharing widgets, giving users more expressive options.
In terms of the camera, Nothing claims to have improved stability and performance. The camera app version has been upgraded, and users may notice slight differences in colors and sharpness, particularly in ultra-wide shots. These refinements are aimed at delivering a more reliable photography experience on the Phone (2a).
The update also addresses several system issues and optimizations. Stability for the pop-up view feature has been improved, and a bug that prevented PDF files from opening in cloned apps like WhatsApp and Telegram has been fixed. The Voice over NR (VoNR) icon has been redesigned for better clarity in the status bar. In addition, battery usage has been optimized when connecting smartwatches, especially with the CMF Watch 2 Pro.
Other improvements include fixes for font display issues in apps such as Instagram and Reddit when using the Inter font, along with general system performance and stability enhancements.
Overall, the Nothing OS 3.2 September Update brings useful new features, smoother performance, and important fixes. For Nothing Phone (2a) users, installing this update is highly recommended to get the best experience on their device.
I tested Nothing’s Essential Space on the Nothing Phone (3) and OnePlus Mind Space on the OnePlus 11. Both look similar on the surface, but the way they work feels very different. Let’s break it down.
Nothing Essential Space has a dedicated Essential Key button. Just double press, and the app opens instantly. From there, you can create summaries, reminders, or even voice notes. Everything is simple and fast.
OnePlus Mind Space works with a three-finger swipe gesture. It opens smoothly and also creates summaries and reminders, but you need to do more manual steps compared to Nothing.
The big win for Essential Space is that it syncs directly with Google Calendar. Add a reminder once, and it’s already there. You can even record voice notes or use the camera app to analyze photos and auto-generate descriptions.
Mind Space, on the other hand, shines with app-wise sorting. For example, it can organize summaries by WhatsApp, Chrome, or Twitter, which is quite useful. But adding reminders is manual, and sharing options are limited.
Nothing also adds cool exclusive features like Flip-to-Record, where you just flip the phone, hold the key, and it records with Glyph animations. Later, the AI auto-summarizes your entire meeting or talk into English text. Super handy!
Sharing is also easier on Nothing. You can export your notes as an image, PDF, or Markdown and send them anywhere. On OnePlus, you only get the delete option, which feels basic.
Overall, Nothing Essential Space feels more polished and feature-rich, while OnePlus Mind Space is still catching up. The app-wise sorting on OnePlus is neat, but Nothing’s extra features make it the better option for now.
