Here we go, the new avatar of Good Lock
First of all, we should thank Samsung for bringing an identity to the Good Lock suite itself. Altering the boring text in the header, Good Lock now got a graphical logo that looks cool and defines the functionality in a way better manner compared to the previous. And the main hamburger icon has options like review, info of devs and contact.
The second change is also noticeable as the Good Lock’s sections got renamed to Make up and Life up, as so far, the Good Lock’s categories had unfamiliar names; Unit and Family. The Make up section has customization apps, while Life up now embeds functional customization plugins.
While the upper section and tabs are now revamped, Samsung didn’t skip the inside tabs. The app and plugin icons are now relocated to the Left side of the tab, from mid-area. The title of the app and plugin shifted to the middle alongside a brief description and a button entitled “More” at the right corner, which expands further settings.
Make up x Good Lock
The first tab is named Make up and lists 9 One UI customization apps including Theme Park, Pentastic, Wonderland, LockStar, KeysCafe, NavStar, HomeUp, ClockFace, and QuickStar. Using these apps, you can customize the One UI in different ways that match your creativity.

Plugins are listed in the Life up section letting you adjust a handful of system functionalities that are prevented by Google or Samsung, helping users enable some hidden features. This tap packs 7 apps including NiceShot, NotiStar, NicaCatch, One Hand Operation +, Routines +, MultiStar and SoundAssistant.
Bring apps & plugins on homescreen
For all the Make up and Life up tab apps and plugins, there is a new button called “More,” which lets users go to the app page on Galaxy Store, Uninstall from the phone, Add to homescreen and About (to get more information). Using the Add to homescreen feature, we can easily create a shortcut of any Good Lock plugin on the homescreen.
