Samsung offers a suite of official applications, known as Good Lock, that takes personalization of Galaxy devices to a new level. Disponível globally through Galaxy Store, this tool allows users to modify aspects of the One UI that are normally inaccessible through default system settings, providing granular control over the user experience.
Composed of several independent modules, Good Lock serves both beginners and more advanced users. Cada module focuses on a specific area of the operating system, such as the lock screen, notification panel, multitasking, and navigation gestures. Essa modular approach ensures that the user only installs the features they actually intend to use.
The popularity of the platform is evidenced by the millions of downloads accumulated by its main modules. Ferramentas like Theme Park and One Hand Operation+ have become essential for those looking not only for a unique look, but also for improved usability, especially on devices with larger screens, where ergonomics are a crucial factor.
Visual customization with Theme Park
The Theme Park module is one of the most powerful tools for those who want to change the aesthetics of the One UI. Ele allows the creation of complete and personalized themes, going far beyond the options available in Galaxy Themes. With it, it is possible to define specific color palettes for light and dark mode, ensuring that the system’s appearance adapts perfectly to the ambient lighting conditions. Adjustments include the background color, the shade of the icons in the quick panel and even the level of transparency and blur, offering detailed control over each visual element.
This ability to create distinct themes for each view addresses a common limitation of native settings, which often apply a generic color inversion. No Theme Park, the user can design a vibrant theme for daytime and a low-contrast theme for nighttime, improving visual comfort and readability. Customization extends to icons, keyboard and other components, consolidating a cohesive visual identity across the device.
Lock screen widgets and shortcuts with LockStar
LockStar transforms your lock screen from a simple information panel into a fully customizable productivity hub. Este module allows the user to add interactive widgets directly to the screen, offering quick access to information without the need to unlock the device. You can, for example, display a calendar widget with upcoming appointments, music playback control, or a detailed weather forecast. Além In addition, LockStar allows you to freely reposition elements such as the clock and notifications, as well as change their visual styles to match the wallpaper or applied theme. Essa flexibility is ideal for those who need essential information immediately, optimizing the initial interaction with the smartphone and making the lock screen truly functional and adapted to the individual needs of each user.
Optimized layout for recent apps
Through the Home Up module, it is possible to radically modify the recent applications screen. The most popular change is the replacement of the horizontal card layout with the vertical list format.
This change makes navigation easier with just one hand, allowing you to scroll through the list of open applications more quickly and intuitively, as well as simplifying the act of closing an application with a simple swipe.
Fine adjustments to the status bar
QuickStar is the module dedicated to customizing the quick panel and status bar. One of its most useful features is the ability to rearrange system icons.
With it, it is possible to move the clock to the right side, freeing the left side exclusively for application notifications, which results in a cleaner and more organized interface.
Another interesting feature is the option to display the seconds on the clock, providing more accurate time information both in the status bar and in the expanded quick panel.
Gestures for one-handed use
The One Hand Operation+ is one of the most acclaimed modules of the Good Lock, especially by smartphone owners with large screens. Ele adds invisible side handles that can be configured to perform a wide range of actions via gestures.
It is possible to define different commands for short, long and diagonal gestures, starting from each side of the screen. Ações such as “back”, “go to home screen”, “open recent applications” or even “capture screen” can be triggered with a simple movement of the thumb.
The tool allows you to adjust the width, height and position of these touch areas, ensuring gestures are comfortable and accurate for any hand size. Essa functionality drastically reduces the need to reposition the device during use, making navigation more fluid and ergonomic.
With millions of downloads, this module has become an indispensable solution to improve usability and multitasking on Galaxy S Ultra and foldable devices.
Quickly delete screenshots
For those who frequently use the screenshot function, the Nice Shot module adds a simple but extremely effective improvement. Ele inserts an immediate delete button in the toolbar that appears immediately after capture, allowing you to discard unnecessary or accidental images with a single touch, without them being saved in the gallery.
Advanced control with the Routines+
While the Bixby Routines offers a good level of automation, the Routines+ module expands these capabilities with more advanced triggers and actions. Ele allows the creation of complex macros, such as executing a sequence of screen touches, and adds more specific conditions for the routines to be activated. For example, you can set up a routine so that when you open a reading app, the screen brightness is adjusted to a specific level and the blue light filter is automatically activated. The Routines+ also offers the functionality to create a backup of all configured routines, ensuring that automations are not lost when changing devices.
This tool integrates seamlessly into the native system of Modos and Rotinas, functioning as an add-on that unlocks a much deeper level of control over device behavior. Possibilities include everything from automating repetitive tasks to creating usage profiles that dynamically adapt to the user’s context, such as activating power saving mode when the battery level reaches a user-defined percentage, a more flexible option than the system’s default configuration.
Screen management by application
Display Assistant gives you granular control over screen behavior for each individual application. With this module, it is possible to set a specific screen timeout for certain applications, bypassing the global system configuration. Isso is particularly useful for GPS navigation applications, food delivery platforms or e-book readers, where it is desirable for the screen to remain active for longer without the need for manual intervention. Além Furthermore, the module allows you to force the screen refresh rate (such as 120 Hz) in applications that, by default, do not support this frequency, or, conversely, limit the frame rate in others to save battery. Essas custom settings ensure the display behaves optimally for each task, balancing performance, convenience and power autonomy.
Custom volume preferences
With Sound Assistant, the user takes full control over the device’s audio experience. The module allows you to customize the appearance and position of the volume panel, moving it to an easy-to-reach location for your thumb.
Its main function, however, is individual volume control per application, allowing, for example, listening to music at one volume while watching a video at another with lower sound.
Quick shot in the camera app
The Camera Assistant is an essential module for photography enthusiasts as it unlocks advanced settings in the Samsung’s native camera app. One of its main features is the “quick touch shutter”.
When you enable this option, the camera captures the photo the instant your finger touches the shutter button, instead of waiting for your finger to be released. Isso reduces lag and is ideal for photographing moving objects.
The module also offers controls over smoothing textures in photos, image processing speed and automatic lens switching, providing a level of adjustment previously restricted to third-party applications.
Improved multitasking experience
MultiStar was designed to optimize the use of multiple applications simultaneously, making it especially useful on tablets and foldable smartphones. One of its most efficient settings allows you to launch split-screen mode instantly by pressing and holding the recent apps button.
This speeds up processes like comparing information between two documents or dragging content from one application to another. The module also removes the green overlay that appears when starting multi-window mode, providing a cleaner transition.
Another important function is “Multi-Focus”, which keeps both applications active in split-screen mode, preventing one of them from pausing its activity when the other is in use. Para For those who use pop-up mode, MultiStar offers transparency adjustments and gestures to make it easier to manage floating windows.
Good Lock continues to evolve with constant updates, often serving as a testing ground for features that are later integrated into the main version of the One UI, reinforcing its role as an indispensable tool for advanced customization in the Galaxy ecosystem.
