If it’s Samsung’s feature, it definitely has customization options to provide users with a more connected experience. If those features aren’t enough to satisfy your desire to adorn your Galaxy phone, the company has another effective option and that is Good Lock.

Samsung Good Lock appears to be a regular app but it is far more powerful. It is made up of small apps or modules, each with its own set of capabilities to improve the functionality of your phone such as tweaking the UI, changing the themes, and doing a lot more.
