We have successfully moved from the simple Python script to a powerful Android app! It grabs the live audio stream from your device using Media Projection and processes it directly into the glyphs. This means you can visualize music from Spotify, YouTube Music, and basically any other app without manual processing! No more local files only!
For a lot of people (including me), the stock Glyph Music Visualiastion provided by Nothing feels random.
Even if it technically isn’t, the visual response to music just isn’t very obvious. On top of that, the feature isn’t really using the full potential of the Glyph Interface. So that’s why I made my own music visualizer.
| Feature | Nothing Stock | Better Music Visualizer |
|---|---|---|
| Light levels | ~2-bit depth (3 light levels) | 12-bit depth (4096 light levels) |
| Frame Rate | ~25 FPS | 60 FPS |
| Precision | Feels random, it's hard to acually see how it's synced | Uses FFT analysis to precisely determine the intensity of each light |
| Zones | Standard, full physical glyphs are used | Each glyph segment and sub-zone is used and controlled independently |
| Visualisation method | Real-time only | Realtime with down to 20ms latency, or pre-processed audio files |

Currently these models are supported:
- Nothing phone (1)
- Needs glyph debug mode ON for the app, set through an ADB command:
adb shell settings put global nt_glyph_interface_debug_enable 1. This will be fixed once Nothing gives us their API key.
- Needs glyph debug mode ON for the app, set through an ADB command:
- Nothing phone (2)
- Nothing phone (2a)
- Nothing phone (2a plus)
- Nothing phone (3a)
- Nothing phone (3a pro)
- Nothing Phone (4a)
partial support:
- Nothing Phone (4a) pro
- Nothing phone (3)
- A high quality audio stream is captured
- FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) is used to analyze frequencies in a 20 ms window for each 16.666 ms frame (60 FPS), making the visualization more accurate
- Frequency ranges for each glyph zone are defined in
zones.configand are fully customizable. - The brightness of each glyph is defined by the peak magnitude found in its assigned frequency range
This measures how loud different frequency “zones” are - Downward-only smoothing is applied to make the animation smoother while preserving responsiveness (this is the secret sauce)
- Then it's ready to be displayed on the glyphs!
The visualizer's behavior, from frequency ranges to animation smoothing, is entirely controlled by the zones.config file. Whether you want to tweak existing presets or add support for a new phone model, you can find everything you need in our configuration guide.
- Download the latest APK from the releases.
- Grant Permissions: The app needs Screen Capture (Media Projection) and Notification access.
- Start Visualizing: Hit the "Start" button and play music from any app!
- Adjust Latency: If the lights aren't perfectly synced with your Bluetooth speaker or headphones, use the Audio tab to add or remove delay.
- Change Presets: Explore different visualization styles in the Glyphs tab, and tune the values to your liking!
We made a detailed wiki page which explains the installation, usage, configuration files in detail and a troubleshooting section. You can also find out how to make new presets(not yet tho). Just click here to see how to use musicViz.py as a python script. You know what's cool? You can convert an unlimited number of files in bulk without any trouble!
