PSA: Samsung One UI 5.0 Beta unplugged Good Lock suite
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.

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 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.

Some Galaxy users have reported a recurring issue with the Samsung LockStar app, where notifications regarding the app’s status and editing options are unexpectedly displayed. This issue continues even when the camera is activated from the lock screen, which leads to an interruption in the user experience.
Samsung is already aware of the issue and a community moderator has confirmed that pop-ups initiated by activating the Lockstar shortcut are not behaving as expected.

The company has apologized for the inconvenience caused by this error and assured users that a resolution is coming with future app updates.
Aside from this, the Good Lock team is also working to solve the AOD issue. Recently, users encountered an issue with the LockStar app, where the Always On Display (AOD) preview does not match the actual display after the setting. This difference is particularly noticeable with the size of the notification icon.
Samsung LockStar offers a vast customization for lock screens on Galaxy devices. The upcoming updates are expected to enhance the user experience by eliminating disruptive notifications and improving the Always On Display feature.
Users are advised to keep their app updated to the latest version to benefit from the improvements and continue enjoying a seamless experience.
