Samsung reminds Good Lock’s RegiStar compatibility for Galaxy devices
Samsung RegiStar is a part of the Good Lock customization suite, which enhances user interaction on Galaxy devices. It allows users to conveniently customize their Settings app by enabling actions such as pressing the side key, tapping the back of the device, and more. At the moment, Samsung is reminding Galaxy device users about the RegiStar app’s compatibility.
Following concerns from a community member about the RegiStar app missing in the Good Lock feed, a community moderator has mentioned that RegiStar works on Galaxy devices running One UI 5.0 or higher. The community moderator is just recalling the compatibility of the app.
Moreover, users with compatible Galaxy smartphones are advised to update to the latest software version since the app doesn’t support Android 12 or older versions.
Back in November 2022, Samsung added RegiStar to its Good Lock customization suite for One UI 5.0 devices. This app lets users redesign the interface for specific system settings and access experimental features like the back tap. It is available for download on the Galaxy Store.
Since its launch, Samsung has consistently improved the app through updates. Some reports suggest Samsung plans to introduce the “Check time with Back-Tap” feature on devices like the Galaxy Fold 6 and Flip 6. The company also aims to expand this RegiStar feature to other Samsung devices with the One UI 7.0 rollout.
If you own a Galaxy device eligible for the Good Lock app and running One UI 5.0 or higher, you can install the RegiStar app to enjoy its amazing features.
Users can download the RegiStar app from the Galaxy Store or Good Lock itself. Stay tuned for future updates that promise to further enhance user experience with the addition of new features.
Samsung fueling One UI 7.0 with big RegiStar back tap feature
Samsung has released a new update for the LockStar Good Lock module with version 6.1.00.18. The update is available on the Galaxy Store with a package size of 46.44MB. It brings some useful fixes and improvements.
The fresh update fixes an issue with the clock display and editing features on the Samsung Galaxy Flip 6. Users had reported issues with changing or seeing the clock on their lock screen using LockStar.
Finally, the new update addresses that problem, so Flip 6 owners should now have a smoother experience when customizing their lock screens. It also fixes other common issues like crashing, freezing, etc.
In addition to fixing the clock issue, the update also includes some other improvements to make the app work better overall. However, Samsung has not mentioned these other changes but they make the app more stable and reliable.
Samsung LockStar is a handy tool for Galaxy users who like to personalize their lock screens. The new version makes that process easier and more enjoyable. We recommend users install the latest update to enjoy new and enhanced features.
To get the latest version of LockStar, users can download the update from the Good Lock app or the Galaxy Store >> Menu option >> Updates. Also, you can download the update directly from the third-party app link mentioned here.
Samsung plans to resolve clock overlapping issue in upcoming software updates
Samsung is looking to add a new feature called Predictive Back to its One Hand Operation+ app. The feature makes it easier for users to navigate their phones by giving them a preview of the previous screen before performing the back gesture. This is especially useful for people who often use their phones with one hand.
The Samsung community moderator has noted that there are some technical issues in implementing this function. Due to these issues, it is currently unclear whether the Predictive Back feature will be supported.
Samsung One Hand Operation+ app has some limitations that affect its ability to integrate advanced features like Predictive Back. These limitations are causing performance issues that need to be addressed before the feature can be fully supported.
The Korean tech giant has acknowledged these challenges and is working to find a solution. As users are eager to see the feature, the team is making every effort to resolve the technical issues.
However, the Samsung community moderator has not given any specific timeline about when the predictive back feature will be available. We can just hope that it will soon be available with One Hand Operation+update.
Talking about the Predictive Back, the feature provides a smoother, more intuitive navigation experience while using gesture navigation. It uses built-in animations to inform users where their actions will take them, reducing unexpected outcomes.
Some Galaxy users have reported issues with Samsung Theme Park where the notification background color of the lock screen does not match the color set in their theme. This issue occurs because the preview may not accurately show the actual color that appears on the lock screen.
If you’re also experiencing issues with the background color of notifications on the lock screen of your Samsung phone, there’s no need to worry. The Korean tech giant has shared some temporary solutions with the community to help you resolve this issue.
To temporarily fix this issue, you should check the actual lock screen first instead of relying only on the preview, as the preview may not show the correct color. If the color still appears wrong, you can try the below solutions.
First, uninstall the Theme Park app, then reinstall it. This can often resolve issues related to how themes are applied. After reinstalling the app, create a new theme and apply it to see if the notification background color changes.
Another way to address this issue is to turn off the color palette setting. This might help, as the color palette can sometimes interfere with the theme colors
By following these temporary solutions, you can fix the lock screen background color issue until a permanent solution is available. If these solutions don’t resolve the issue, Samsung suggests reporting the problem for further assistance on the Members app with detailed information.
