PSA: Samsung One UI 5.0 Beta unplugged Good Lock suite

Published

on

Samsung NotiStar update

The Android 13-based One UI 5.0 Beta brings a number of new features to Samsung consumers, however, we need to sacrifice the iconic Good Lock customization suite, for some time. Every year, the company runs its independent One UI Beta program to test the new Android OS for Galaxy devices.

As Good Lock is an application that works under the One UI ecosystem, the Android 13-based One UI 5.0 Beta doesn’t support the customization suite because of compatibility issues with the new operating system. And resulting consumers deal with an unsupported Good Lock functionality.

Good Lock 2023

Samsung will fix the compatibility issues of the Good Lock with a major update sometime in early 2023 by including support for the new Android 13 operating system. Until then, you won’t be able to access some of the Good Lock modules and apps.

So far, Samsung has not come up with its plan for the Good Lock 2023, however, we are guessing that the major update might go official nearly the Galaxy S23 launch. With this major update, Samsung will deliver more new features for the consumers as well as user interface tweaks are expected.

Good Lock One UI 5.0

Good Lock is a customization application suite developed by Samsung for One UI modification. This app is world famous (availability is limited) because of its offerings and a slew of modification apps and modules. Notably, all Samsung phones are not supported with Good Lock functionality.

So if you don’t want to stop using the Good Lock app, we recommend you don’t go for the Android 13-based One UI 5.0 Beta. You should wait for the Stable One UI 5.0 update arrival, which is expected later this year, however, some apps might work, but could behave abnormally.

Which one do you choose between the One UI 5.0 Beta with Android 13 OS or the Good Lock suite with a lot of customization tools? Let us know through Social media.

One UI 6 

  • Good Lock will be launched simultaneously with the official 6.0 distribution.
  • Good Lock: When installing apps with every upgrade, the company is trying to reduce the steps of moving to the store so they can be installed quickly and easily without moving.
  • Edge lighting +: ‘Edge lighting +’, which was only available on the Galaxy foldable, will be introduced in earnest this time. With the cute pop effect you want when you receive notifications and make suggestions for improvement.
  • Sound Assistant: It seems that decorating the volume panel is only done through color selection, so please look forward to the change by providing various effects and control method changes so that you can enjoy new decoration effects.
  • Wonderland, which has changed with a unique lock screen effect, is preparing to enable new transition effects when moving between AOD and lock screen/home screen.
  • Samsung is preparing to provide more detailed information about why my notifications are not ringing through NiceCatch.

One UI 6.1

  • Many people have complained about the inconvenience of LockStar / Clock Face having a structure that is separate from the lock screen, so Samsung is preparing it so that it can be set naturally within the lock screen.
  • This is a very big task, so the people in charge of the lock screen will be encouraged if you give some words of support.
  • Kids Cafe is developing a feature that allows you to map desired functions to keyboard gestures and designate keyboard touch sounds as desired.

Changes and delayed features

  • HomeUp is undergoing major structural improvements to support a wider variety of styles.
  • The theme park has a structural implementation in addition to the theme of the terminal.  Every time you install a theme, you may wonder why it takes so long to install an app. By changing the structure, the company want to improve these inconveniences and aim for a lighter theme.
