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.

- 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.

Nothing has officially rolled out the Nothing OS 3.5 August update for the Nothing Phone (3). This latest update, sized at 189 MB, brings several new features, bug fixes, and performance improvements. Most importantly, it also includes the August 2025 Android security patch, ensuring the device stays protected with the latest security enhancements.
One of the main highlights of this update is the improvement to the Glyph Interface. Now, when you use the Glyph Mirror toy to capture a photo, a special Glyph Matrix-styled photo will also be saved. The company has also fixed an issue where ringtones would automatically switch to “Classic” in Generative mode. Additionally, bugs related to ringtone mode selection after phone data transfers and incorrect response to Telegram calls on the Glyph Interface have also been resolved.
On the camera front, the update adds support for AI SuperRes Zoom, now working between 20x and 30x zoom levels. The shutter response time after taking multiple shots has been improved, along with better autofocus and color accuracy, making your photography experience even smoother.
Apart from that, the update focuses on fixing several system bugs and improving the user experience. Some of the key fixes include the missing default search engine option in the app drawer and settings, and an issue in Universal Search where the second character would disappear. The Essential Notification border UI has been polished, and the cloned WhatsApp app can now open PDF files properly.
The update also improves the Snapchat refresh rate, ensuring smoother usage. Issues with 4K 60FPS video playback stuttering in the gallery have been resolved. The Adaptive Brightness now works more smoothly, and charging problems with certain third-party chargers have been fixed. In addition, system copywriting has been refined, and overall stability and performance have been improved.
This is a meaningful update for Nothing Phone (3) users, offering both functional upgrades and important security enhancements. Users are encouraged to download and install the update to enjoy a smoother, more secure experience.
Nothing has released a new update (v1.0.12) for its Essential Space app, bringing two exciting sharing features to select Nothing phones. The update is currently available via the Play Store for Nothing Phone 3A, 3A Pro, and CMF Phone 2 Pro.
What’s New in the Update?
The update (around 94MB in size) focuses mainly on improving sharing options within the app:
- Audio Recording Sharing Enabled
Users can now record audio using the “Flip to Record” feature and directly share those recordings with others. Previously, Essential Space only supported sharing images, PDFs, and Markdown files. The new update now supports audio file sharing in AAC format. - Image Capture with Smart Text Summary
Users can capture images using the Essential key in the camera app, and the app uses AI to summarize what’s in the image. For example, if a photo includes a Nothing phone and white earbuds, the app automatically generates a description. This summarized image can then be shared along with the AI-generated text.
UI & Functionality
While the user interface hasn’t seen major changes, the new features add a practical edge to the app. The shared content even includes Nothing branding and a “Your Second Memory” tag, enhancing the brand’s unique style.
Supported Devices
These features are currently live on:
- Nothing Phone 3A
- Nothing Phone 3A Pro
- CMF Phone 2 Pro
- Nothing Phone 3
Make sure your Essential Space app is updated to version 1.0.12 to access these features.
The popular third-party dialer app N Dial, inspired by the clean design of Nothing OS, has received a major update called the Nimbus Update. This update brings a completely new user interface, smoother animations, and several practical improvements that enhance the overall calling experience on Android smartphones.
One of the biggest highlights of the update is the redesigned interface for Recents, Dialpad, Contacts, Favorites, and Contact Cards. Everything now looks more modern and minimal, matching the style seen on Nothing Phones. A new light theme called Nimbus has also been added, giving users a clean and bright look. Additionally, the navigation bar has been improved for better usability.
The app now includes haptic feedback when scrolling through contacts or using the dialpad, giving a more responsive feel. Users can also view and delete individual call entries for each contact, making call history management more flexible. Contact photos are now supported, and a new Albums View has been added in the Favorites section, alongside the classic grid layout.
To improve performance, N Dial now allows users to set a limit on call logs. Incoming calls no longer appear as pop-ups but are shown in the notification panel, providing a less distracting experience. The update also introduces features like quick notes during ongoing calls and external links for additional functionality.
In terms of technical improvements, the app’s animations are smoother, and overall performance has been boosted. Important bugs have been fixed, including issues with the proximity sensor and Bluetooth connections with smartwatches. The quality of contact images has also been enhanced.
N Dial is available for all Android smartphones, not just Nothing devices. It aims to provide a smooth, beautiful, and easy-to-use calling experience. Users can download the updated version from the Google Play Store, making sure the version name includes “Nimbus.”
Overall, the Nimbus Update brings major upgrades to N Dial, both in looks and performance. If you’re looking for a dialer that feels modern, simple, and closer to the Nothing Phone experience, this is a great option to try.
