As promised, Samsung has released its Good Lock customization app to the Play Store this week, with a global launch also beginning.

Within Samsung’s Good Lock modules, LockStar is a popular addition to Galaxy devices. While the app has historically allowed users to change how notifications appear on the lock screen, LockStar loses that ability in One UI 7. This isn’t a matter of broken functionality; Samsung apparently just doesn’t want to support it.

Samsung’s Good Lock brings further functionality to Galaxy devices through optional UI functions. The Good Lock app itself is getting an update, and so are the modules within.

In its first update in the better part of a year, Samsung is rolling out a new Good Lock app with an updated design that’s ready for One UI 7’s rollout, and a major improvement over what was available before.

Samsung’s Good Lock allows for deep customizations to One UI without the need for root or any other complex mods, but the framework is limited to certain regions, and only accessible via the Galaxy Store. That’s changing in 2025, though, as Good Lock will be coming to the Google Play Store and all countries as Samsung expands the feature alongside One UI 7.

Samsung makes adding widgets to your lockscreen easy in One UI, though you’re often locked into Samsung’s limited array of options. The newest Good Lock update lets you add third-party widgets to your home screen.

With frequent updates that take into account consumer feedback, Samsung appears to be fully behind its alternate Good Lock UI. Announced last month, the lock and homescreen replacement has been praised for its close to stock notification shade and interesting UI ideas. Today’s update fixes many bugs and adds more customization options.
A couple of days back, Samsung released a new UI for its new Galaxy owners, and from first impressions I can’t tell if it’s brilliant or terrible. I decided to take it for a spin, and show you what it’s like to set up and give you a visual walkthrough. You can download Good Lock from the Galaxy App store, or download the APK directly from APKMirror.
