While Nothing Phone (2) brings along several new advanced software features with Nothing OS 2.0, one feature that completely stands out is Glyph Composer. This app enables users to create ringtones of their own while taking full advantage of the Glyph interface on the rear. The predecessor, Nothing Phone (1), is also confirmed to get the new software skin, and users currently rocking the device can get their hands on Glyph Composer right away. Read on to find out how to download and use Glyph Composer on your Phone (1).

What is Glyph Composer?

Glyph Composer is an app exclusively made for Nothing Phone (2) and Nothing Phone (1) that enables users to create unique and funky ringtones through the sounds provided by the music supergroup, Swedish House Mafia. The ringtones take full advantage of the Glyph interface present on the rear of the phones by synchronising the LEDs with the tunes.

How to use Glyph Composer to create ringtones on Nothing Phone (1)

Upon opening the Glyph Composer on your Nothing Phone (1), you will be greeted with several pads which can be tapped to generate sounds along with a 'Modem' button that contains five sound presets. There's also a 'red' button to record and save your personalised ringtone to your device. Above that, is a Glyph interface render that replicates the rear LED design of Nothing Phone (1).

Now that you know the workings of Glyph Composer, here's how to create a personalised Glyph ringtone using the app.

• Firstly, you can play around with the app by pressing the pads to get a gist of the effects and sounds. The app has five sound presets to choose from - Modem, Weevil, 606, Brrr, and Dan
  
• Each sound preset has unique tunes. Select the one which you prefer
• Now, press the red button to record the ringtone
  
• Tap on the pads in a continuous manner to create a nice rhythm
  
• The app allows you to create ringtones of up to 10 seconds.
• Once you're done creating the tune, hit the Stop button
  
• From here you can listen to your ringtone and if satisfied, select the Save button
  
• Give a name to your ringtone, if you would like and again tap Save
  
• If you wish, you can set the ringtone as default from this screen itself

How to find custom-made Glyph ringtones on Nothing Phone (1)

Does Glyph Composer bring features of Nothing Phone (2) to Phone (1)?

No, since the Nothing Phone (2) has a different and improved Glyph interface array than Nothing Phone (1), the Glyph Composer won't bring new features to Phone (1) due to hardware limitations. Users will have to resort to the existing LED design and make the most out of it.
