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.
How to Apply Depth Effect Wallpapers on Nothing Phones?
Step 1: Download the Required Files
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.
Conclusion:
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.
