I’m currently building an app that lets you flash NOS 5 on your Nothing Phone (1) in just one click. If you don’t like it, you can roll back to the original stock OS with a single click as well. Coming very soon!

Android 17 is way more than a "Cinnamon Bun" name - 5 hidden features Google didn't announce properly

I've been on Android 17 stable for 10 days on Pixel 7, and everyone is talking about App Bubbles and Handoff, but Google hid some crazy useful stuff:

1. Flashlight brightness slider is back and system-wide

You can finally control intensity from Quick Settings. 10% to 100%. Super useful at night.

2. Intrusion Logging is scary good

If someone tries to unlock your phone with wrong PIN or plugs into your phone, Android 17 creates an encrypted forensic log. You can see it in Settings > Security > Intrusion Logging. It's for journalists / activists but everyone should turn it on.

3. Contacts Picker finally works

Apps like Truecaller or WhatsApp can't ask for your full contact list anymore. You select only 5 contacts to share. Huge privacy win.

4. 16KB Page Size = actual smoothness

This sounds technical, but it's the reason my Pixel 7 feels like Pixel 9 now. Apps launch faster and scrolling is smoother. Developers had to update apps, but big apps already did.

5. eSIM transfer in 2 clicks

Moved my eSIM from old phone to new in literally 15 seconds. No carrier call needed. Settings - Network Transfer eSIM.

NFC, eSIM, 5G Advanced all work flawlessly. No, there is no 8G — we are still on 5G Advanced and 6G is 2030.

What hidden feature did you find in Android 17 that Google didn't talk about?
