🚀 Introducing the General Discussion Space for Nothing Community in Telegram!

Join: https://news.1rj.ru/str/NothingTelegramCommunity

Purpose

- Our members have consistently requested a general space for discussions on a variety of topics. As a global device-specific chat, it has been challenging to manage conversations due to moderation restrictions within specific device-oriented groups.
- To address this, we are excited to unify our discussions and create a more relaxed environment for everyone to interact and explore diverse topics.
- Moving forward, there will be one dedicated general chat (including off-topic discussions) for all Nothing Ecosystem members, alongside device-specific chats for each model released. This will help us manage our community more effectively.

What Makes This Different from Existing Device-Specific Chats?

- General and off-topic discussions are now welcome!
- Regional languages can be used across all topics for better interaction. (Starting off with a space for Indian users and eventually opening more regional topics in the future as we find new volunteers moderating from the specific region.)
- No restrictions on GIFs and other media, allowing for a more enjoyable engagement.
- NSFW and piracy remain strictly prohibited though!

✍️ Note

We plan to eventually phase out the following channels & chat groups listed below and migrate to this universal space to streamline our moderation efforts:

- @NothingxCMF_IN
- @NothingOSChat
- @NothingPhoneGaming
- @NothingOSTracker

Join us in this new space and let’s make it a vibrant hub for all things Nothing!

Hello, if anyone's wondering why the custom ROMs still haven't been released, it's not because we stopped, it's just because debugging takes a while and especially with this device (ugh) it does take a considerable amount of time to get things right.

The second reason is obviously that we have personal lives and do this in our free time, but we are still stretching out time for this project.

Although it's disappointing and we cannot give you an exact date, but the good news is we aren't stopping, we're just doing it at our own pace.

And when the ROM does come out, it's gonna be wonderful. Thank you for understanding.

Hello everyone!
Custom ROMs are basically here, thanks to the continuous efforts of our Developers and Testers.

This is an announcement reminding potential custom ROM users to unlock their bootloaders and update to the latest firmware of NothingOS 3.2 :)

As for 2A+ users, there will be ROMs too, since the SoC is so similar to 2A.

Thank you!

Note: The initial ROMs that will be released will be YAAP (Yet Another AOSP Project) and LineageOS. These builds will be maintained by two different people respectively.

Please don't ask us for any other ROMs, because Elias and me are only going to maintain those two. I'm not saying it's impossible, but other ROMs will be done by other people.

Hello 2A community, custom ROMs have not been yet released because of Nothing's carelessness.

We need the Kernel from the latest release (Pacman-V3.2-250620-1021) to push ROMs for the public. And they're still hosting the older kernel from the initial release of 3.0, which doesn't match our vendor blobs.

The ROMs themselves are ready, the trees are stable and we don't need anything else to release them.

So if you want to help, either repost/share this tweet: https://twitter.com/sidharthify/status/1959609295450013996

Or comment on this GitHub issue: https://github.com/NothingOSS/android_kernel_5.15_nothing_mt6886/issues/4

Also, Nothing is violating the GNU General Public License, like many other OEMs by not open sourcing the Kernel. But as their initial promises were that they'd be supportive of this community, this clearly shows the hypocrisy that we've been facing. Maybe point that out in their socials and under that tweet.

Thank you.

Hello everyone,
Seems like our efforts from the last post did make an impact, and I am very thankful to everyone who retweeted that post and commented on the GitHub issue.

So Nothing did do something... but it's not what we want - these are the three commits they've done in their v branch:

commit 1
commit 2
commit 3

The first and last commits are just a change in the readme, they have nothing to do with the code. (these readmes are a lie themselves btw)

But the second commit renames the kernel version to 5.15.167 from 5.15.149 in the Makefile.

You might be thinking that this is it, but unfortunately it is not. All they've done is change the name of the Kernel in their Makefile, but haven't actually merged the code from that kernel, this is like me changing the Makefile in a Kernel from 10 years ago to the latest mainline.

They're fake upstreaming the kernel, and this itself, again, violates the GPL-2 License.

I want you to retweet this: https://twitter.com/sidharthify/status/1960610583910473959

and comment on this GitHub issue: https://github.com/NothingOSS/android_kernel_5.15_nothing_mt6886/issues/5

Upvote this: https://www.reddit.com/r/NothingTech/comments/1n1gse7/fake_kernel_upstreaming_by_nothing/

Getting the code for the latest kernel means we'll be getting custom ROMs, as they are ready themselves. Thank you!
