Samsung has officially acknowledged that eight Good Lock modules have stopped working in One UI 9 Beta. QuickStar, LockStar, ClockFace, NavStar, NotiStar, Home Up, MultiStar and Game Booster+ have flaws that prevent access to their main functions. The discovery occurred shortly after the launch of the test version in selected markets such as Estados Unidos, Reino Unido, Coreia of Sul and Alemanha.
Structural changes to the system framework caused these incompatibilities. Diferenças internals between One UI 8.5 and One UI 9 broke support for tools that previously worked normally. Embora Although it is common for beta versions to present these problems, the direct impact on the experience of users who depend on advanced customizations is significant.
Usuários that prioritize deep customization now face a difficult choice. Continuar using One UI 8.5 maintains full access to modules, but prevents access to new functionality. Migrar for beta offers new features, but sacrifices known tools.
Quatorze modules remain operational
Apesar of the failures, Samsung confirmed that 14 Good Lock modules work correctly in One UI 9 Beta:
- One Hand Operation+
- Sound Assistant
- Keys Cafe
- Theme Park
- Wonderland
- Edge Lighting+
- Dropship
- Galaxy To Share
- Routines+
- Nice Catch
- Edge Touch
- Camera Assistant
- RegiStar
- Display Assistant
Maintaining these modules offers some relief for those who want to test the latest interface. Ajustes in one-handed navigation, sound quality, visual themes and camera assistants are still available. However, the loss of Game Booster+ and QuickStar mainly affects users who focus on gaming performance and quick access to essential settings.
Display Assistant and Camera Assistant allow fine control over the screen and photography. Nice Catch continues to make it easier to block unnecessary permissions. Edge Lighting+ continues to offer visual notifications on the edges of the screen. Esses features maintain Good Lock’s core proposition: customization without dependence on third-party apps.
Restauração predicted before stable release
Samsung stated that it is already working on restoring full compatibility. The schedule was not disclosed, but the company reinforced that it prioritizes the correction before the stable release of One UI 9. Future Atualizações betas should gradually resolve the identified incompatibilities.
The remediation process involves rewriting portions of the affected modules’ code to conform to the new architecture. Dado One UI 9 is still in the experimental phase, additional time is needed to ensure stability. Third-party Desenvolvedores may also need to adapt their own custom modules.
Usuários registered in the beta program can expect incremental updates in the coming weeks. Recomenda checks regularly to see if new versions bring improvements. Samsung typically releases patched beta versions every two weeks in its testing program.
Expansão from beta program in the coming days
For now, the One UI 9 Beta is limited to four main markets. Expectativa is for new countries to join the program in the coming weeks. The Brasil has not yet received official availability, but users with the Galaxy S26 in already covered markets can register directly on the Samsung Members app.
The beta phase allows the company to gather feedback before global availability. Usuários who encounter new problems with modules or features can report directly to Samsung through the testing platform. Esse cycle speeds up identification of incompatibilities before millions of devices are affected.
