I have a used Black Nothing Phone (1) and its very good for under 500$ but its doesn’t seems to support any privacy focused custom roms (for example Calyx os And Graphene os) but since I can’t buy a Pixel in Middle Eastern Like North Africa And Saudi Arabia so I’m waiting for MR Tad to support it Along with Affordable phones

What’s your question?

@SkewedZeppelin is really the only one here that can answer that but, i’d imagine putting your money where your mouth is and offering to donate and/or sponsor the project would go a long way in putting resources towards your request.

Same is the title
When i have XMR loaded in MY Own Monero Wallet Again but I don’t have the interest to buy a Pixel 8A since it only goes on sell sometimes and I already bought The First Nothing Phone Model hopes he’s going to answer my question regarding Support for This Device
Ask Skewed where to send a sealed brand new (old new or is it new old stock?) Nothing 1 phone as a parcel. But Skewed has to agree first, of course.
Even so, this is a donation of sorts and you should have no expectation of anything at all.

Rouger that
You should check if the phone supports bootloader unlocking, and if it can be relocked.

Nothing devices don’t properly support alternative OS’s. You should stick to the stock OS that your device came with and keep the bootloader locked.
Must be said that the only reason to buy that nothing phone is probably for the funky backlights, which probably won’t work with a different OS. Unless someone actually puts time in reverse engineering that.

Let’s reverse the question : When will Nothing offer proper support for other ROMs, in a similar fashion to the Pixel ?

They do actually have a very good selection of custom roms and I can prove it to you just look at this post
All of them suck for privacy and security, not even considering the fact you can’t relock the bootloader with them.
No its not the better saying to go to is they are worth it for having an easy Unlockable Bootloader without sacrificing to much on security
But that my point I’m not going to use a Pixel since they are very expensive in Amazon and I don’t want to waste my time flying to another country just to buy a single phone when I could help someone in need instead
That’s just a list where you can unlock the bootloader, but it doesn’t mean it can do so securely. Why is that ?
Just use the stock OS that comes with your phone and keep the bootloader locked. This is the best advice that we can give you.
OK but that doesn’t mean i hate pixels i just need to use this nothing phone for the time being And i really hope you can find other phones Besides Them that has a secure boot loader with custom keys because i don’t need more headaches more then the ones i already have to begin with using old Oneplus devices

Depends. If you are worrying about Big Tech or LE/hackers. Really a case about privacy and security IMO.
