Samsung Good Lock Home UP

Good Lock is a Samsung-made suite for all apps that allows you to redesign the look and feel of your Galaxy device. From lock screen to home screen, Sound panel, navigation, and others, Good Lock has customization options for all of your most-used settings.

Home Up is one of those Good Lock modules. As the name suggests, it lets you customize your phone’s home screen in many ways. With this, you can revamp every little aspect of the stock One UI launcher, such as home screen layout and folder properties.

Samsung Good Lock Home Up contains five different groups of settings including Home screen, Folder, Back up and Restore, Share Manager, and Task Changer. While its feature that I appreciate is hiding the app label from the Home and Apps screens which provides a cleaner look.

Another interesting quality is changing the layout of the Recent page for more fluid navigation. And if you’re too specific about your phone’s UI, you can open folders on your home screen in a pop-up style instead of taking up the entire screen.

Further, the Samsung Good Lock Home Up also provides an option to back up custom layouts, so if you accidentally change something or get a new device, you can pick up right where you left off. Lastly, with Share Manager, you can share stuff directly with your contacts, without involving third-party apps.

The UI settings are easy to navigate and understand, it gives you a live preview of what to expect from your tweaks. More interestingly, the module only requires the ‘Storage’ permission to operate, which indicates that saved layouts are being stored locally without syncing with a Samsung account.
