Several Good Lock modules are working properly on One UI 5.0, however, there were some modules that were unplugged and we were not able to use them on the latest software. Recently, Samsung has turned its face on the Good Lock module to make the remaining ones compatible with Android 13-based One UI 5.0, QuickStar becomes the first module to get support and the second is NotiStar.
Samsung NotiStar One UI 5 Support
The Korean tech giant has started releasing October 2022 update for the Good Lock module NotiStar with version 5.1.08.0. The new update for Samsung NotiStar fixes an issue related to the lock screen entry point icon but most importantly it comes with Android 13-based One UI 5.0 support.
Furthermore, the update also fixes some common issues for a smoother usability experience. It is an initial rollout so it may take some time to reach all eligible devices.
The new update arrives with an installation package size of 4.37MB. Its size is so small that you can use your personal data to install it. You can manually install the update from the Galaxy Store or download it directly from the link mentioned here.
Now, Galaxy users that are currently testing One UI 5.0 on their smartphones can enjoy the feature of the NotiStar module.
