Samsung ‘SoundAssistant’ Good Lock 2022
Undoubtedly, the Android-based Samsung One UI offers the best customization options for any Galaxy device. Meanwhile, the Good Lock’s flavor makes its features more impressive, functional, and specialized.
One of such Good Lock modules is Sound Assistant. Samsung’s Good Lock SoundAssistant has many options to revamp your phone’s sound system. I personally use this feature and appreciate it.

Samsung Good Lock SoundAssistant
Media manner mode
Starting with Media manner mode, it mutes media sounds when your phone is on vibrate or mute. This will definitely be useful for those who need to ensure that their phone stays silent during meetings, conferences, lectures, etc.
Metronome
Metronome is one of those SoundAssistant that you will definitely love. Bluetooth audio, especially on cheap devices, usually suffers from poor latency. So, the Metronome will help you out of this as it lets you manually sync the sound with your earbuds.
The metronome will start when you tap on the option. The phone will read a different number as the arrow passes over one of the red lines. If you hear a number read before or after the arrow is covered, drag the slider left or right until it’s in sync.
Customized Volume Panel
The real fun comes when you enter the Customize Volume Panel menu. It lets you adjust the height of the volume bar in the Standard panel, change which side it appears on, show a numerical volume level, as well as enable the SoundAssistant floating button.
You might wonder that all the options were already available, what is new in this? But having these options together in one place and seeing what the change will look like delivers a better experience than ever.
It gets even better when you expand the volume panel. Here you can add toolbar functions that provide quick access to the Bluetooth/speaker switch, Live Caption, Equalizer, and the SoundAssistant itself.
Individual App Volume
The most unique feature which I found in Good Lock SoundAssistant is the ability to adjust the volume of any app currently playing media without even changing the system volume.
Just tap on the Individual app volume option in the SoundAssistant, select apps you want to adjust individual sounds, and enjoy them without interruptions.
Make your own volume panel
Samsung lets you make and design your own volume panel. Here you can choose different themes, colors, and many more to decorate your regular and boring volume panel to make it look amazing. You can either choose dark or light themes.
Voice Changer
Other than these, the SoundAssistant now has a built-in voice changer. When enabled, you can access it from your notification shade whenever your microphone is in use. There are a total of nine voice changers, unfortunately, none of them sounds good.
Nevertheless, Good locks’ SoundAssistant module is worth using. The above mentioned are some of the main highlights of it. Besides these, there’s Control music with a volume key option which lets to go to the previous or next track by pressing and holding the volume keys when the screen is locked or turned off.
In addition, you can select an app to play and control music when you press the multimedia keys on your connected headphone, Bluetooth device, etc., customize vibration patterns, select which apps can play audio at the same time, and more. You will find its more useful functionalities when you start using it.

Advanced Tuning
With this feature, you can customize details like damping, stiffness, and friction for how icons move and scale. Users can also customize where icons track, and there’s an Interpolator option to tweak how the icon scale animations work. This means you can make the animations your own.
In addition to this, the Advanced tuning also includes options for scale, duration, and blur settings for the Home screen and Wallpaper.
Large Folder
Another noteworthy feature is the introduction of the large folder option. You can now choose between medium and large sizes for your app folders while keeping the size of existing large folders the same.
This gives you more control over how your home screen looks and helps you organize your apps better. You can also adjust the folder grid and change the icon sizes, adding to your personalization options.
Pop-Up Folder
The update also enhances the pop-up folder functionality. Users can now customize the size of pop-up folders with options for small, medium, and large. Additional settings allow for variable sizes, fixed positions, and even options to hide the edit bar and remove blur effects.

YouTube is currently testing a new user interface (UI) for its Video Player. This updated UI introduces several changes to improve user experience. Some people think the new design looks cluttered, while others see the changes as useful improvements.
The fresh look of the Video Player reveals several changes in comparison to the previous UI, spotted by Mishaal Rahman (via Android Authority). Let’s check what’s coming.
WHAT’S NEW
Several changes have been noted in the new Video Player UI of YouTube. Now, the video title is located above the progress bar, and the channel icon along with the subscriber count is shown next to the channel name. Below the title, viewers can now find the view count and the date the video was published.
The expand button has been shifted to the top left of the screen and a new rotate button has been added. A second playlist button replaces the old expand button, just above the progress bar.
Moreover, the forward and backward buttons are not visible when watching in fullscreen mode. However, these buttons appear when the video is paused in portrait mode. The like, dislike, comment, and share buttons have been placed above the progress bar on the right side.
The bookmark feature is now shifted under a menu, while a new Remix button is shown by default. There’s also a button for video chapters added to the bottom left of the screen.
Users can now swipe up and down to switch between videos in a playlist. However, you can only swipe down to minimize a video if it’s the first one in that playlist.
Several users are sharing their opinions on Reddit, and most seem to prefer a simpler design. Currently, Google is testing these new changes and will soon release the final version.
