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.

Cool New Depth Effect Wallpapers (Two Files – APK & CwithoutM.KLWP)

Step 2: Install the Kustom KLWP App

1. Download the Kustom KLWP app.
2. While installing, you may face an error saying ‘App Not Installed’ because Google Play Protect might block it.
3. 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.
4. Now install the app again. It should work fine.
5. 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

1. Open the Custom KLWP App.
2. Give all the necessary permissions.
3. Go to the Download folder, where you saved the wallpapers (e.g., Goku, Itachi, Samurai, Spiderman).
4. Select the folder and import the wallpaper you like (example: Itachi).
5. Once loaded, tap Save, and then Set as Wallpaper → Home Screen & Lock Screen.
6. 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.

Nothing has released a new update for the Nothing Phone (2). This update brings Nothing OS 3.0, but many users were expecting version 3.1 or 3.2. Still, the update brings some new features and improvements to the phone.

Update Details

• Update Size: 737 MB
• Build Number: Pong-V3.0-250506-1805-IND
• Android Security Patch: May 1, 2025

New Features and Improvements

1. Private Space

Nothing Phone (2) now gets the ‘Private Space’ feature. This allows users to hide apps, photos, files, and even use a private camera.
It uses a separate password and fingerprint from the phone’s main unlock method, giving extra privacy.
Apps added to Private Space won’t appear in the normal app drawer.

2. App Locker with Separate Password

You can now set a different password for locking apps. This is separate from the phone’s main lock screen password, giving better privacy for apps like Calculator, Facebook, etc.

3. Nothing Gallery (Still Basic)

Nothing mentioned improvements to the Nothing Gallery app, but users did not find any major changes. The gallery still lacks editing features, and Google Photos remains the default unless disabled.

4. Touch Feedback Settings for Face Unlock

Now users can disable the vibration feedback when using face unlock. This option is available inside the settings.

5. Smoother Animations

With the update, the app opening and closing animations have become much smoother. The launcher has been updated to version 3.2.2, making the phone feel faster and more fluid when switching apps.

6. Network and Wi-Fi Stability

Nothing has improved the stability of cellular networks and Wi-Fi connections. However, the ‘Hotspot Manager’ feature, which allows setting limits for connected devices, is still missing in Phone (2). It is only available in the Nothing Phone (2a).

7. Status Bar and Notification Center Improvements

Nothing has optimized the status bar icons and notification center for better performance and fewer bugs.

8. New Wallpapers

The update also brings new wallpapers from the Nothing Phone (3a) series.

No Major Camera Improvements

Although the Nothing camera app has been updated from version 15.1.00.03.17 to 15.1.00.03.19, users did not notice any big changes in photography or video quality. Nothing has not yet provided camera tuning or processing updates for Phone (2). These improvements may come later, possibly with the launch of the Nothing Phone (3).

Should you update?

The Nothing Phone (2) May update brings useful privacy features and smoother animations, but misses out on some features like Hotspot Manager and camera improvements. Still, it’s recommended to update your phone to enjoy the new privacy options and a better user experience.

Nothing has rolled out a new update for its popular Nothing Phone (2a). The update brings Nothing OS 3.0 with several new features and improvements. However, many users were expecting Nothing OS 3.1 or 3.2, but the company has still kept it at 3.0.

New Features:

• Private Space:
  Nothing has finally added the much-awaited ‘Private Space’ feature. Users can now hide apps, files, photos, and even use a private camera inside this space. The best part is it uses a separate password and fingerprint from your regular phone lock, giving extra privacy.
• Separate Password for App Locker:
  Users can now set a different password for app locking, separate from their main lock screen password. This makes securing apps like Facebook and Instagram even safer.
• Hotspot Manager:
  Users can now limit the number of devices that can connect to their phone’s hotspot. It also shows which device is connected and allows you to block unwanted devices.
• Updated Security Patch:
  The phone now has the latest Android security patch for May 2025, keeping your device safe from new threats.

Small Improvements:

• Wi-Fi and System Stability:
  Users reported no major issues with Wi-Fi or hotspot connections after the update. Overall, the phone runs smoothly without noticeable bugs.
• Status Bar and Notification Center:
  The company improved accessibility and stability in the notification center and status bar, although these changes are small and may not be easily noticed.
• Cellular Network Stability:
  The update also tries to fix common issues like 5G to 4G switching and call drops. The experience has improved for some users.

Changes in Apps and UI:

• Nothing Launcher Updated:
  The launcher is now updated to version 3.2.2 (for some 3.2.3), with slightly smoother animations when opening apps.
• Camera App Version Changed:
  The camera app has been updated to version 14.0.03.26.08 While no major camera features were added, the app opens a bit faster. Users are still waiting for camera tuning improvements, which may come in future updates, possibly around the launch of the Nothing Phone (3) expected in July.
• Nothing Gallery:
  Although Nothing mentioned their own gallery app, users still see Google Photos as default. No clear changes were noticed in the gallery app yet.
• Touch Feedback for Face Unlock:
  Users can now disable the vibration that happens when using face unlock from the settings.

The May update for Nothing Phone (2a) brings useful privacy and stability improvements, but no major camera or design changes yet. The update size is around 1.04 GB and may take around 25-30 minutes to install depending on your internet speed. Users are still hoping for bigger updates like Nothing OS 3.1 with camera improvements soon.
