Samsung AnimationStar plugin concept shows endless possibilities for system animations
Samsung One UI is the king when it comes to customization. You will find an option to personalize literally every function of your Galaxy phone, and if anything is left then there is a Good Lock app for further customization.
You must know that there is a lack of animations in Samsung and unluckily there is no Good Lock module available to cover it. We can not say how long the company will take to bring advanced animations to the stock One UI. But how about we get a new Good Lock plugin for this?

A Samsung fan has recently created an “AnimationStar” plugin concept that shows endless possibilities for system animations. As described by the creator, this Good Lock module will allow users to precisely manage animation speed.

At the same time, it will also offer users different varieties of charging animation, fingerprint animation, and some other system animations so that Galaxy users will not have to settle with the same, boring, and old One UI animations.
Every year Samsung brings a lot of features with its new software but does not focus on animations. And this is the only thing where some Android smartphone makers beat Samsung. This year’s Android 13-based One UI 5.0 software is here and the company has worked well to improve system animations.
Samsung has made the Galaxy animations faster and smoother with One UI 5.0 but this is not enough. We need new charging animations, fingerprint unlocking animations, app opening/closing animations, and more, just like other brands offer to their customers.
To be honest, I loved this Good Lock AnimationStar plugin concept made by V3trox360. It shows multiple possibilities for system animations for Samsung Galaxy phones and this is exactly what we need.
Samsung has shared an update about the removal of the GIF capture feature in the One Hand Operation+ app following the One UI 6.1.1 update. Several users enjoyed the GIF capture feature as it allowed them to capture GIFs easily using gestures.
However, Samsung removed the GIF capture feature with the One UI 6.1.1 update and integrated it into Samsung’s new AI Select function. Now, a Samsung community moderator mentioned that the company could provide a GIF capture feature again.
Samsung’s One Hand Operation+ app lets users perform various tasks on their Galaxy phone with simple hand gestures. This app connects different phone functions to make it easier to control your device with just one hand. However, when a feature like GIF capture is removed, it also means the app can no longer provide it through gestures.
The moderator explained that since the GIF capture feature has been moved to the AI Select function, the app no longer has access to it. He also mentioned that the app cannot bring the feature back on its own without it being available in the phone’s terminal first.
Although the GIF capture feature is not available right now, Samsung has stated that it might return in the future if the functionality is reinstated in the terminal’s system.
Samsung apologized for any inconvenience caused by this change and promised to continue working on improving the app and the overall user experience with future updates. Users are advised to stay tuned for any updates or changes to the app’s features.
Samsung considers reintroducing Smart Select feature for One Hand Operation+
Samsung’s One UI 6.1.1 update has brought some changes that several users are not happy about. One of them is the removal of the Smart Select feature, which is now expected to return with the upcoming One Hand Operation+ Good Lock module update.
The smart select feature of One Hand Operation+ allowed users to quickly select and share content with just a gesture. It was very useful for people who often use their phones with one hand.
Since the update, many users have shared their concerns in community forums. Smart Select was a popular tool for those who relied on one-handed use, and removing it has made that task difficult.
In response to this feedback, a Samsung community moderator has shared some information on smart select feature availability. He mentioned that Samsung is looking into the possibility of bringing back the Smart Select feature in future updates to the One Hand Operation+ app.
However, no specific timeline has been given for the return of the Smart Select feature but many users are hopeful that it will come back soon.
As Samsung works on improving its software, users are encouraged to stay tuned with new updates to the One Hand Operation+ app. Several users are looking forward to the return of the Smart Select feature, which would make using their devices easier again with One Hand.

Samsung RegiStar app offers several features that give users more control over their experience, and it is expected to add more options with the upcoming One UI 7. Samsung is considering bringing back a small gear icon for shortcuts created with RegiStar, which may arrive with the upcoming One UI update.
The small gear icon used to appear in the bottom right corner of the home screen for shortcuts to help users recognize them as RegiStar settings rather than regular app shortcuts. However, many users have noticed that this gear icon is now missing and have shared their concerns in the community.
One user also mentioned that while the gear icon has disappeared from home screen shortcuts, it can still be seen in the Edge Panel settings. Fortunately, Samsung has acknowledged these concerns.
A community moderator has stated that Samsung is looking into restoring the small gear icon for RegiStar shortcuts. The restoration of the gear icon will make it easier for users to navigate their shortcuts and improve usability. However, there’s no confirmation about the release of this feature.
As several modules from the Good Lock app have begun to receive support for One UI 7, Samsung is expected to roll out this support for the RegiStar app soon. This support might also include the gear icon for shortcuts.
In addition to this, Samsung is going to bring the “Check time with Back-Tap” feature for its RegiStar app with the next major One UI update. This feature will provide an easy way for users to check the time by tapping the back of their device.
