Nothing has launched a first look at its Nothing OS 3.0 update, delivering revamped designs and features, a new Gallery app, and more, with a launch in beta next month.

Nothing OS 3.0 is the software the company "always wanted" to build, as explained in a new video on the company's YouTube channel. The update, almost surely based on Android 15, is set to bring several new changes including redesigns throughout the Android skin as well as a long-awaited first-party "Nothing Gallery" app.

New features in Nothing OS 3.0 include:

  • Nothing Gallery: A new photo app with Nothing's design language and faster access from the camera app
  • Lock Screen: More customization for clocks and widgets, including the ability to disable a full-size clock to make more room for widgets.
  • Quick Settings: Full customization of icons including their size, similar to homescreen widgets. Auto-brightness toggle in the brightness slider.
  • Smart App Drawer: AI will be used to surface apps you may want to use -- in a UI that looks just like iOS' App Library -- or you can manually pin apps to the top of the traditional Android app drawer.
  • New Widgets: Countdown widget for dates, "Shared Widgets" that sync content and sticker reactions between users
  • UI: Updated typography, new "Dot Engine" updates system animations with dynamic dots (found when charging, fingerprint sensor, etc)

A new version of the Octo Android malware, called Octo2, has been detected spreading in Europe disguised as NordVPN, Google Chrome, and an app called Europe Enterprise. Octo2 has improved stability, evasion capabilities, and a new C2 domain system. The malware is not yet on Google Play, but its spread is expected to increase.

A new version of the Necro malware loader infected 11 million Android devices via malicious advertising SDKs in legitimate apps and modified versions of popular software. The malware primarily spreads through unofficial websites and modified apps, but two legitimate Google Play apps were also found to be infected. Kaspersky identified several malicious plugins associated with Necro, including those that display ads, download and execute files, facilitate subscription fraud, and use infected devices as proxies. The total number of infections is unknown, but at least 11 million devices were infected through Google Play.

I hadn't heard of Pebble the Twitter competitor. It just makes me miss the Pebble watches.

As a Canadian, I appreciate a lot of what the EU does when it comes to consumer protections. Hopefully this one also ends up impacting the rest of us!

Relatable. Birds are suddenly really interesting in your 30s.

It's definitely sad, but not discriminatory. Organ transplant recipients generally need to take a lot of immunosuppressive medications. Getting fully vaccinated is a bare minimum for improving the likelihood of a successful transplant.

ljdawson's decision to develop a Lemmy app played a significant part in locking down our decision to bring /r/android to !android@lemdro.id.

Although there was the option to purchase Pro as a one-time fee. This one unfortunately only has a subscription option (which I'm not too keen on).

Edit: ljdawson has confirmed there will be an one-time payment options for both Ultra and ad removal!

It's worth noting that protests are a fundamental part of Reddit culture and a large part of how the site became successful in the first place (waves of activism and migration from Digg over several years).

We didn't post this one up! I posted on /r/android shortly before bed and felt it would've been in bad taste if we had posted here without discussing with you folks first (I also admittedly slept in, as it's a holiday today for Canada Day Weekend).

I was actually hoping to reach out to you and Mike to see if you're interested in joining our mod team on !android@lemdro.id. We hope to carry forward the same kind of content philosophy from /r/android prior to our lockdowns, namely discussions and items of collective interest, and avoiding specific, technical support questions that can overtake large communities - and think you both align pretty well with our overall emphasis on keeping it civil and cordial.

For a bit of background on the instance, @cole@lemdro.id has been spending quite some time getting lemdro.id setup and optimized for us with a focus on ensuring backend scalability to handle load. The hope was to have an instance where major tech and other subreddits could feel comfortable moving to, without the significant performance issues that could leave folks with bad first impressions (a number of us were around for the waves of migration from Digg to Reddit).

Folks are currently reaching out to their respective mod teams at other large tech subreddits to see if there's interest in joining Lemmy as well. We also have a number of developers with us exploring opportunities to contribute code improvements and fill gaps within the Lemmy ecosystem (e.g., accessibility improvements, moderator tools, fighting spam), with at least one bug fix already contributed to the Lemmy Github!

If you and Mike are interested, please do reach out! It would be great to have you both. Given Lemmy doesn't support group PMs or Modmail, let me know if you want to connect somewhere else - I'm on Telegram, Discord, and Element but would be happy to chat anywhere.
