Good Lock is an interesting application offered by Samsung for flagship Galaxy devices. This app consists of several excellent services called modules and apps that make the One UI software system highly customizable.

As always, several Good Lock apps and modules became no longer compatible with the devices running Android 12-based One UI 4.0. As the customization of the UI is based on the operating system, the company needs to optimize Good Lock again.
