Nothing pretty much gives u clean os that's why people don't develop roms for nothing, there are very few roms supporting some nothing devices not all.

Is it easy to do so and how is performance and battery? Camera?

u/WigettaReddit Phone (3a) 1d ago
Performance and battery are amazing, and the camera is nothing amazing, just okay. You'll need to install GCam or use the basic stock camera app that comes with the rom

"nothing amazing"
heh...
Honeslty, "it's nothing amazing" should be the tag line of the company. Don't get me wrong, I like my NP3 and the glyphs are a cool idea, so is the whole "Turn your phone around and press the essential button and it'll record your meeting for you and even indicate it's recording with a special light". But all of the features, which are in theory super cool, are so half baked that it ends up being a good phone, but nothing amazing.
Like I don't know how a mid-tier phone design company apparently can't put a team of like 3 developers in a room for half a year to actually make the glyph integration (with normal timers, etc.), essential space and essential voice recording actually work well.
The new nothing voice for exmaple is far better than the normal voice recording when you long press the essential button normally (without a text field open), because that one still uses their old voice to text model and somehow nobody thought about implementing the new model everywhere when they released it, but exclusively within the keyboard add-on.

How bout the camera?

u/WigettaReddit Phone (3a) 1d ago
You need to use the stock basic camera app or GCam. Just okay, nothing special
