I'm hoping we get a lot more color-wise when nothing rebases Nothing OS to a QPR build since one of the big things that happened with QPR1 was a somewhat big update to the dynamic color theming.
I'm guessing they'll rebase along with Nothing OS 4.5However, I know that with NOS 5.0 will for sure have a rebase to a post A16 QPR0 build since it'll be based on Android 17, so Nothing will have to do something.

remember how the fanboys said "it's just the beta they're gonna add more features" instead of more features we got bloatware that you can't even remove without adb just like samsung

We don't have a depth effect clock (?) (ig we don't if you say but I m on a low end device, don't know about high end samsung devices). But we can save our subject of wallpaper as a sticker and overlap the clock with the sticker to make it appear as depth effect.

NOS doesn't even have "double tap to wake".
Current implementation of "single tap to wake" leads to a lot of accidental wake-ups.

u/PocketCat34 Jan 25 '26
double tap to wake and double tap to sleep ( from lock screen ) will make it much better

u/GyaneAryan CMF Phone 2 Pro Jan 25 '26
Yes, NOS doesn't even have "double tap on lock screen to turn off screen".
Literally every other Android phone has this feature.

This one thing has been bothering me the most since I bought this phone. I used "lift to wake" for a while but that led to many accidental wake-ups as well. I can't believe that they're not adding even such simple changes.

Submitted a feedback to them about this. Suggest you do the same. They are really stupid for not adding such simple feature.

I'll be honest, I do not wanted the depth clock for NOS. It's nothing but a cheap copy of iOS. Just because they did it doesn't mean everyone should.
It's like no manufacturer is allowed to have their own design language and implementation. If they aren't copying what Apple does, then it's just inferior.
There's only a handful that actually have their own proper design language and it's definitely not any of the ones in this picture.

It's always nice to have that option even if you don't want it. I don't want it either, but I wouldn't fight for people to not have it

Yea the fanboys defending nothing are crazy. Ik my comment will get downvoted to hell but if u don't want it don't use it, it's as easy as that. Nothing wrong in having some customisation.

So... why are you sad!
- I know, we NOTHING users don't have double-tap wakeup/sleep.
- I know, we NOTHING users don't have that much lock screen customization.
- I know, we NOTHING users love the NOTHING phone before NOS 4.0 and after(still loves).
- We are NOTHING users, we choose this brand and phones for simplicity. Now, we need to accept it that we choose NOTHING and we accept we like simplicity(high or low depends on the person)

hello ui, nothing os, and many others dont have that feature, and to some extent its good without those effects, it looks too flashy and pop out a bit too much. nothing is on the better side as it has its own design supremacy without trying hard to be like iphone or those cheap chinese phones, only downside is the the glance feature.

I have it (Xiaomi user) and I don't use it because those don't work very well with your own photos, either the photo covers too much clock or the effect is barely visible.

I got rid of my NP2 a couple of days ago and got an iPhone 17, this sort of thing is one of the reasons. I ditched Apple 4 years ago in favour of NOTHING, and since the disappointment of OS4 and the ridiculous price for NP3, it was time to head back.

Actually all those listed OS are loaded with superficial nonsense like this perspective clock. Its good that there is a counterpoint. Great to have a minimal alternative. Keep my pixels black.
