Samsung users have long been familiar with the customization options available on their devices through Good Lock and other features. Now, Samsung is going to enhance Good Lock’s folder icon arrangement feature with the One UI 7 update.
Recently, an issue has surfaced regarding the resetting of folder icon arrangements when turning the Home Up feature off and on. This problem has raised concerns among users who like to organize their apps in a specific way.
A user recently reported this issue, stating that the folder icon arrangement would often reset when toggling the Home Up feature within the Good Lock app. The user expressed frustration as this led to the loss of their customized folder organization.
The Samsung community moderator addressed the issue and confirmed that the issue of folder icon arrangement resets is indeed recognized. The company assured users that an improvement is on the way. Specifically, this issue is expected to be resolved through the One UI 7.0 software update.
Samsung is actively working on the One UI 7 update, and the new One UI version will improve the folder icon arrangement reset feature of Good Lock.
The moderator also mentioned that if users are facing other issues besides the folder icon reset, they can help by sending a video or logs showing the problem. To do this, users should go to the Samsung Members app, tap the Get Help option, and choose the Send Error option after the issue occurs.
Aside from this, Samsung is going to One UI 7 Beta update soon for the Galaxy S24 series. This beta update will let Galaxy users enjoy new features ahead of an official release.
Samsung has released a new update for its Keys Cafe app, which brings it to version 1.6.01.11. This update introduces some improvements that will enhance the app’s performance and make it easier for users to customize their Samsung devices.
The fresh version 1.6.1.11 update supports One UI 6. If you’re using a Samsung device with One UI 6 or later, you’ll now have a smoother, more seamless experience when using the app. This update ensures that all the new features in One UI 6 work well with the app.
Moreover, the Samsung Keys Cafe 1.6.01.11 update fixes the theme visibility issues. Some users had previously noticed issues with how different themes were displayed in the app.
With this update, Samsung has worked to improve how themes look to ensure a visually appealing experience when switching between different themes or modes. This makes the app’s interface cleaner and more enjoyable to use.
The Keys Cafe app is useful for users who love customizing their Samsung keyboard. It lets you adjust settings, create shortcuts, and fine-tune your typing experience. This update makes those features even better to offer a smoother and more reliable experience.
You can install the latest version of the Samsung Keys Cafe through Galaxy Store >> Menu option >> Updates or from the Good Lock app. Also, you can download the update from the third-party app link mentioned here.
Chrome for Android seemingly preparing to get iOS-inspired animations. Samsung is working hard on One UI 7 to rival Apple’s latest iOS 18. The upcoming update could bring iOS-inspired animations and fluency to Galaxy devices.
As Samsung preps iOS animations on One UI, Chrome for Android is also getting ready to follow the same suite. The new animation is visually appealing (as spotted by MSPoweruser) and visible on back-and-forward gesture controls.
The latest Chrome Canary update carries a flag called “back-forward visual transitions” in the experimental channel of the browser. When enabled, the toggle “adds animated gesture transitions for back/forward session history navigations.”
As you can see in the video, the back-and-forward animation has been completely revamped. The new choice introduces a way more appealing appearance than the current one. Such rich visuals make significant improvements to the user experience.
Notably, Chrome features “Back/Forward Cache (bfcache)” to render rich page transitions without any delays. Behind the scenes, the API keeps page snapshots stored, so they load faster when you go back or forward.
The change has recently become available for Beta testing. The visual tweak is now working, but there’s no tentative timeline for general availability. Google may keep it for the next version of Android which could release in Q2 next year.
One UI 7 Release Awaited
It’s December and Samsung hasn’t yet started the One UI 7 Beta. The company, at SDC24, announced that the One UI 7 Beta will start by the end of the year. We’ve entered the last month, and rumors now point to mid-December release.
Talking about Stable, you need to wait till February next year. The Galaxy S25 series could launch in late January, at the same time, the final version of One UI 7 will be introduced. We can only expect public rollout in February next year.
