Real - time preview on your phone

To enable live ringtone preview on a connected phone:

1. Enable Developer Options → USB debugging on your Phone:

• Settings → About phone → Press on Phone image → Tap Build number 7 times
• System → Developer options → Enable USB debugging.

2. Connect your Phone to the PC: USB - C or USB - A cable.
3. Accept the connection prompt on the phone. **Recommended to enable "Always allow" checkbox.
4. Install the Cassette Receiver app on your Nothing Phone. Cassette will ask you if you want to install it automatically

Note: Live preview has been tested on Nothing Phone 3a and 1. Other devices may not work, if so, please text me in discord.

FAQ & Troubleshooting

Error: Failed to build Aubio==0.4.9

• Make sure you are using Python 3.10 - prebuilt wheels target that version.

Phone not detected by Cassette

1. Try a different cable and port. Some cables are power - only.
2. Confirm Cassette Receiver is installed on the phone. But, you don't have to start it.
3. Ensure USB debugging is enabled and the phone has accepted the PC's connection.

Roadmap
