Software and setup choices
- Installed OS: DerpFest Android for Nothing Phone 2a Plus. The operating system is prepared for the exact supported hardware target, replacing the manufacturer’s standard Android interface.
- Root choices: Magisk / KernelSU / APatch / No-Root (Keep De-Googled). The requested manager must support this device’s kernel and the selected ROM build; we confirm compatibility before preparation.
- Google apps: choose Keep de-Googled or Install Google apps where enabled in the product options. On this listing, No-Root (Keep De-Googled) also selects the Google-free setup. A Google-free request requires a compatible build; it is not fulfilled by simply hiding Google apps on a bundled-GApps image. If the requested build cannot be prepared, we contact you before substitution.
Bootloader state
The bootloader remains unlocked with this custom-ROM configuration. Choosing No Root does not relock it. Do not relock the bootloader unless the project explicitly documents a safe procedure for the exact signed build and device.
Compatibility to check before ordering
- Manufacturer camera processing, eSIM, calling features, DRM playback and accessories can behave differently from stock firmware. Check any essential feature against the linked device guide; a hardware feature in the specification is not proof that the ROM implements it.
- Banking, payment, work-profile, streaming and game apps may reject a modified device or depend on Google services. Play Integrity, DRM quality and future app compatibility are not guaranteed by root, a custom ROM or a bootloader setting.
Updates and support
The project’s updater record for PacmanPro reviewed on 28 September 2026 identifies v16.2 dated 2026-07-09. This identifies the published build, not a promise of continuing monthly updates.
Use the installed ROM’s updater only for a compatible same-device release. Read the maintainer’s instructions before changing Android versions or switching between Google-free and Google-apps builds; a clean flash and data wipe may be required. Check root-manager and kernel compatibility before updating.
Condition and what is included
- Preloved / Used: previously owned and function-tested; visible cosmetic wear may be present.
- Battery capacity above is the original hardware specification, not a measurement of the supplied unit’s battery health. Used batteries can have reduced capacity.
The selected device, the software preparation described here and protective packaging. A mains charger, charging cable, case, stylus, dock or other accessory is included only if expressly listed or added to your order. Third-party paid apps, accounts and subscriptions are separate.

Official device and software references
Compare devices and read the guides
Manufacturer manuals describe the original hardware and software. The software installed for your order is described in this listing. Custom software, rooting or jailbreaking can change security, app compatibility and update behaviour. Follow the instructions for the supplied build before updating or resetting it. Original manufacturer documentation alone does not establish conformity of a modified configuration.
Original hardware care
Use Nothing’s product guides and support for the exact model. Read the manufacturer’s phone-care advice. Use safe, compliant charging equipment; avoid liquids, excessive pressure and prolonged heat. Nothing advises against rooting its original firmware. Manufacturer guidance describes the original configuration; the custom software and update limitations in this listing remain relevant.
