Samsung is looking forward to a major restructure of its popular Good Lock suite that is packed with a wide range of modules for more customizations. With the new One UI 7 version, Samsung’s Good Lock will boost a significant change that is aimed to offer a more convenient, accessible experience for the users. Recently, the company shared the Home Up, LockStar, and other modules to get even better with One UI 7.
According to the reports posted on the community forum, Samsung clarified that Good Lock is going to get much better with One UI 7 support. It’s getting prepared with the overall UI improvements.
Alternatively, Samsung has started integrating the One UI 7 software support into the Good Lock modules, beginning with MultiStar, while 15 applications are already supporting the beta version. Also, the company is aiming to release the major changes to the modules at the same time as the official One UI 7 launch.
One UI 7 Good Lock Home Up to receive many new features and major structural changes:
However, among the apps that are being closely prepared internally, Samsung reveals that the users need to witness a slight delay as the Home Up and LockStar modules are currently undergoing internal testing due to the integration of new features and major structural changes.
As already teased before, Samsung is working on bringing some major surprises and structural changes to the Home Up module with One UI 7. The key highlight of the latest reports is that the Home Up app is being diversified this time, boosting new features and changes.
These include enhanced Home Up accessibility (for accessing One UI Home without running the Home Up app), free Home Item placement, home screen stickers, gesture animations tuning and multi-finger gestures, hiding favorites, custom folders and free placement of app buttons, edge panel customizations, and taskbar customizations.
Major changes to these One UI 7 Good Lock modules:
On the opposite side, other Good Lock apps getting major changes with One UI 7 include LockStar, Routine Gallery (Galaxy To Share), Wonderland, ThemePark, MultiStar, Pentastic, QuickStar, and Camera Assistant (to know more in detail about what’s being prepared, you can check the report). Thus, this will significantly allow Galaxy users to have a more enhanced experience and accessibility.
Good Lock Management
In the newly added ‘My Page’ tab, you can add initial settings and Good Lock widgets, and you can conveniently manage the Good Lock function you are using.
If you tell me the functions you need with widgets other than phone functions, I will review and add them from time to time.
(*) In addition, there are many people who talk about the inconvenience of not providing good rock as a basic.
I will try to summarize the meaning, direction, and intention of providing Good Rock in detail next time.
