Samsung To Simplifie Customization on Galaxy Smartphones
Samsung offers a Good Lock facility, especially for Galaxy users who desire more interface customization. Now its ‘Theme Park’ module will soon receive a new update.
Samsung, to enhance users’ customization experience, offers Good Lock and rolls out updates regularly to keep it up-to-date. The Korean giant has created, expanded, and updated over the years collections of tools that allow most ‘geeks’ to have a convenient experience. Now reports are revealing that the Theme Park module will soon receive an update or new features that will improve theme creation.
Samsung enhanced the Theme Park module last time with the arrival of One UI 6.0, which introduced a completely new architecture. Now again, Samsung is gearing up to offer a new update to Theme Park; this is being speculated upon by an announcement on Samsung’s community forum. The center point of the update will be making theme creation seamless and flawless instead of adding complex new features. This means Good Lock users will soon be able to bring their theme ideas to their devices more quickly.
The update is expected to arrive by the end of April, along with various improvements for enhancing the customization experience. The design and theme application processes will be faster after this update; the existing themes can also be modified and overwritten; and the current icon pack design will automatically be applied to newly installed applications.
The aim behind the forthcoming Theme Park update is just to make theme creation more user-friendly, effortless, and fast by eliminating unnecessary steps. This will enhance usability.
Although the update not only brings new features and improvements but also brings some functional limitations; for instance, you will lose the power to use images to customize themes for Keycap Style in your Samsung keyboard, and the support for the folder shape on the Home screen will no longer be available, the ‘Change color palette’ and ‘App-specific theme settings’ items will appear as not presently supported.
Over the years, Google has made several improvements to its most crucial application, the Google Play Store, and it constantly provides new utility features and improvements. Now, with the latest development, the company is working on a new capability to handle multiple application downloads.
According to the information, Google is looking to bring a new capability to download multiple applications together. Previously, when you tap on the install button of the applications, it starts downloading them one by one. When one application fully downloads, it starts downloading the second application.
However, it is worth noticing that the phenomenon of multiple downloading is limited to only two applications, meaning if you tap on more than three applications to download, it will start downloading two applications while the third one is still pending.
Additionally, the simultaneous download is limited to the new installs, but it will not apply to the update section. We hope that Google may expand the multiple downloads to update phenomenon and may increase the number of downloads together in the next developments.
As per the information, the new change has already started working on several devices, at least for the Android 14 installed devices with the latest version of the Play Store (40.6.31).
Good Lock plays a key role in providing a platform for all the customizing applications or plugins of the Galaxy devices. For information, it provides several types of plugins like NavStar, QuickStar, LockStar, Camera Assistant, and many more. With these plugins, users can perform several customizations for the smartphone UI, including navigation bars, lock screens, home screens, notifications, and many more. To manage these plugins more conveniently, the company has started rolling out the update for Good Lock.
Good Lock is receiving a new update, version 2.2.04.95. With the latest update, the company has introduced some new changes that will fix the phenomenon of installation and deletion of modules, so users can easily manage them according to their requirements.
Along with this, the changelog also says to bring some fixes for the security-related functionalities, so if you are also having some issues while using any of the functions of Good Lock or want to get some performance enhancements, then you should go for the latest Good Lock update.
If you want to install the latest version of Good Lock, you can check its availability from the Galaxy Store. If it is available, tap on the update button, but if it isn’t available, you can also sideload the application through some external sources.

The latest Android Auto 11.9 beta is ready to download for all users who have registered for it. However, the update rarely brings significant changes from the previous updates.

Keep in mind that Android Auto 11.9 is still in the beta stage. As a result, you may encounter bugs and issues after installing it. As a result, you might experience crashes or other issues while using this beta version.
