The Nothing Phone( 1) is an unconventional phone in further ways than one. Its design is an instant discussion starter — whether it was thesemi-transparent reverse panel or the fairly stock Android stoner interface, it clearly made some buzz when it first hit our radars. lower circus is the software support as the Android 13 update will not arrive for the device until the first half of 2023. Thankfully, there are other ways to get Google’s rearmost software release running on the device and that is through Paranoid Android.
The inventor- led platoon behind the custom ROM blazoned in July that it would begin developing for the Nothing Phone( 1) thanks to the sheer quantum of coffers made available to them. Paranoid Android was suitable to get its Android 12- grounded Sapphire make on the phone shortly after.
Fast forward to this weekend and the platoon has moved onto Android 13 with its first nascence of Topaz. The first phone to get it? Of course, the Nothing Phone( 1).

The Paranoid Android platoon took the time to respond to some questions about the new ROM on Twitter, assuring that the group will constantly modernize the shapes with security patches. In response to another question about migrating from the nascence figure to a beta figure in the future, the platoon said the transition will be flawless. The custom ROM weighs in at just over1.8 GB and will wipe all being data on your Nothing Phone( 1). As always, it’s wise to back up your device’s data if you ever intend to hop between operating systems.
It should take a couple of months for the PA platoon to go stable on Topaz, but that’ll be still far ahead of Nothing’s sanctioned target for planting Android 13 onto the Phone( 1). In fact, it might run with the stylish of the Samsung pack in the larger environment of Android 13 updates.
The Paranoid Android platoon also showed off the Topaz custom ROM’s dereliction wallpaper, named Supernova, designed by Swedish artist Hampus Olsson. You can check out the wallpaper then.
