Samsung Good Lock 2024
One UI 6
- Good Lock will be launched simultaneously with the official 6.0 distribution.
- Good Lock: When installing apps with every upgrade, the company is trying to reduce the steps of moving to the store so they can be installed quickly and easily without moving.
- Edge lighting +: ‘Edge lighting +’, which was only available on the Galaxy foldable, will be introduced in earnest this time. With the cute pop effect you want when you receive notifications and make suggestions for improvement.
- Sound Assistant: It seems that decorating the volume panel is only done through color selection, so please look forward to the change by providing various effects and control method changes so that you can enjoy new decoration effects.
- Wonderland, which has changed with a unique lock screen effect, is preparing to enable new transition effects when moving between AOD and lock screen/home screen.
- Samsung is preparing to provide more detailed information about why my notifications are not ringing through NiceCatch.
One UI 6.1
- Many people have complained about the inconvenience of LockStar / Clock Face having a structure that is separate from the lock screen, so Samsung is preparing it so that it can be set naturally within the lock screen.
- This is a very big task, so the people in charge of the lock screen will be encouraged if you give some words of support.
- Keys Cafe is developing a feature that allows you to map desired functions to keyboard gestures and designate keyboard touch sounds as desired.
Changes and delayed features
- HomeUp is undergoing major structural improvements to support a wider variety of styles.
- The theme park has a structural implementation in addition to the theme of the terminal. Every time you install a theme, you may wonder why it takes so long to install an app. By changing the structure, the company want to improve these inconveniences and aim for a lighter theme.
Also, the ‘Dropship Ride Together’ feature will be released soon regardless of the 6.0 upgrade.
Samsung has provided One UI 6.1.1 support to one more Good Lock module, One Hand Operation +. Last week, the Theme Park module already received this major update support.
The Korean tech giant is rolling out a new update for Samsung One Hand Operation +, which introduces significant enhancements along with One UI 6.1.1 support. This ensures seamless integration with Samsung’s upcoming One UI iteration, offering enhanced compatibility.
Moreover, the update introduces the “Minimize pop-up window” feature. It allows users to reduce the size of pop-up windows to optimize screen space.
Furthermore, the update includes various bug fixes and stability improvements, enhancing the overall reliability of the app. Overall, the latest update makes the app more useful, reliable, and stable.
Users of eligible Galaxy devices can update to version 7.1.23 of Samsung One Hand Operation + via the Galaxy Store to experience these new features.
One UI 6.1.1 support now available for Samsung Theme Park app
Samsung is planning to improve its virtual touchpad functionality, following valuable user feedback from its community. The company may release a major update for the One Hand Operation + Good Lock module to implement improvements.
A user on the Samsung community suggested including a “lock (fix) button” on the virtual touchpad to stabilize the cursor. This button would address concerns of thumb fatigue and precision aiming during single-handed operation.
This suggestion of a lock button is mainly useful for those who sometimes find the current controls challenging due to the cursor movement when adjusting the pointer speed.
In response, a community moderator has acknowledged the feedback and commitment to reviewing and improving the virtual touchpad by the second half of 2024.
Moreover, he has assured users that the team is taking a complete approach to integrating these suggestions. Although these improvements may take time to implement. Through this, the company aims to improve the usability of the One Hand Operation+ functions.
One UI 7.0 update to improve clock format alignment in Samsung devices
A recent update to Samsung‘s Theme Park app removed a feature beloved by users. The feature of the Theme Park Good Lock module that allowed image customization of folders and keycaps is no longer supported, causing disappointment among Galaxy users.
Addressing user feedback, Samsung has acknowledged the concerns. A community moderator has assured users that the company is actively reviewing ways to reintroduce the image customization feature for folders and keycaps to the Theme Park app.
In addition, the company also expressed apology for any inconvenience caused by the updated appp process. As of now, the moderators have not provided any specific answer or timeline regarding restoring this feature.
Hopefully, Samsung will restore the customization features soon to enhance the Theme Park experience. Until then, stay updated on the latest version of the app.
