There are many ways to customize Galaxy smartphones, but with Samsung Good Lock, you can do it in a better way. Good Lock is a suite of apps that allow for deep customization, not only the home screen, lock screen, notification panel, and keyboard, but also the sound controller as well as edges.

Samsung Edge Touch is a Good Lock module that automatically dismisses some touches to prevent unwanted interactions while you’re holding the phone. You can choose the areas you don’t want to work when touched accidentally theme and adjust them according to your preferences.

Smartphone users should understand the feeling when things go unintended, like calling someone without you knowing, or sending a random unreadable message to someone close to you. This is the perk of having a touchscreen phone.

Meanwhile, the Samsung Good Lock Edge Touch module can help you out of this. It lets you set an area, wherein your taps and swipes won’t work once it becomes effective. Most importantly, this app works in both portrait and landscape screen orientations.

This app doesn’t just go with a pick-and-activate menu. Therefore, you can set how wide and tall the edge zone is, although there is a certain limit that the app sets. Also, your customized Edge zone can be named so whenever you want to use it, you can just activate it with a click.

Google Lock’s location-based quick settings give you access to replace a double press or long-press on one of the phone’s physical keys, depending on a few factors. The module uses location as an example but you can also edit this to use any existing triggers.

On selecting the app for which you want to record the macro, it will open the app and show a floating record button on the side of the screen. To do this:

• Tap Record and then perform the actions you want to save.
• Stop the recording and save it.
• Choose what the trigger should be.

Control arrow with S Pen

Of course, this feature will only work with S -pen compatible Samsung phones including Galaxy Note 20, Z Fold 3, S21 Ultra, and S22 Ultra. It lets you assign different Air Actions to perform certain tasks.

The module suggests you assign arrow key actions to gestures to scroll through web pages and move back and forth.

Fingerprint to website

Although the name of the feature suggests you can do this to open a website, but it can be assigned to anything. Here you can choose the actions to take place, such as opening any app or anything else, depending on which finger you use to unlock your phone.

Low battery announcement

Quite a useful feature! When enabled, it will let your phone read out a phrase when your phone reaches a certain battery percentage. You can customize the words spoken as well as adjust reading speed.

Share via QR Code

There’s also an option to share your creations with others through QR Code. When scanned, it will recreate the chosen routine on their device too. However, if you don’t have QR Code, you can export your routines as files to be saved via the cloud or your messaging app.

Good Lock is a powerful application for Samsung devices that has many modules to let you customize the overall look of your phone. From options to customize the notification panel, sound panel, keyboard, and others, there are many additional features that the real One UI doesn’t have.
