Good Lock
I can use iPhone-like ‘Back-Tap action’ on my Samsung phone, thanks RegiStar
Apple iOS lacks customization but some of its features are excellent. The Apple ‘Back Tap’ feature is the easiest way to put an iPhone function you use all the time at your fingertips. Luckily, you can now use the iPhone-like ‘Back-Tap action’ feature on your Samsung smartphone, all thanks to the new RegiStar plugin.
Earlier the last month, Samsung officially launched a new Good Lock module named RegiStar for its One UI 5.0 users. This new plugin unlocks a lot of possibilities for home screen customization, search options and history, a Power button, and much more.
In the meantime, the Samsung RegiStar module also brings a Back-Tap action feature for Galaxy customers. It allows you a little easier access to more precise settings on your phone.
Similar to Apple iPhones, Samsung offers you both Double Tap and Triple Tap action, You can choose what action your phone will take when you tap the back of your phone twice or thrice. Here are some Back Tap actions you can perform on your Samsung phone –
- Take and share a screenshot
- Access your Google Voice Assistant
- Start pop-up window
- Show notifications
- Show recent apps
- Back button
- Open an app – You can choose any of your most used applications by tapping the ‘Settings’ icons.
To use this feature, you just need to download the RegiStar module on your Good Lock application. Once you open the plugin, you will see different functions, you have to tap on “Back-Tap action”.
Now tap on the “Double Tap” option and choose any of the functions or apps. Do the same with the “Triple Tap” option. You will also see an option that reads “Event detection notification”, it shows a toast popup when a Back-Tap event is detected. If you want, you can enable it.
Samsung has announced that it will soon add support for the Dual Messenger feature to its One Hand Operation+ Good Lock module. This new support, which many users have requested, will make it easier for people to use two accounts of the same app while navigating their phone with just one hand.
Dual Messenger lets you run two different accounts of the same apps on your phone. The feature does not work with the One Hand Operation mode but is now expected to come soon.
A Samsung community moderator has confirmed that many Galaxy users have requested the Dual Messenger execution function for the One Hand Mode feature. Further, he has mentioned that although the current version does not support Dual Messenger, the team has already been working on bringing this support.
Fortunately, Samsung has acknowledged the issues that users are facing and promised to bring Dual Messenger support with the next One Hand Operation+ update.
This next update is expected to make multitasking more efficient for users who rely on One Hand Operation. It will allow them to quickly switch between two app accounts.
While there’s no exact release date for the update yet, Samsung users can look forward to the new feature being available soon. Keep an eye out for the next app update to take advantage of this new functionality.
Samsung users have long been familiar with the customization options available on their devices through Good Lock and other features. Now, Samsung is going to enhance Good Lock’s folder icon arrangement feature with the One UI 7 update.
Recently, an issue has surfaced regarding the resetting of folder icon arrangements when turning the Home Up feature off and on. This problem has raised concerns among users who like to organize their apps in a specific way.
A user recently reported this issue, stating that the folder icon arrangement would often reset when toggling the Home Up feature within the Good Lock app. The user expressed frustration as this led to the loss of their customized folder organization.
The Samsung community moderator addressed the issue and confirmed that the issue of folder icon arrangement resets is indeed recognized. The company assured users that an improvement is on the way. Specifically, this issue is expected to be resolved through the One UI 7.0 software update.
Samsung is actively working on the One UI 7 update, and the new One UI version will improve the folder icon arrangement reset feature of Good Lock.
The moderator also mentioned that if users are facing other issues besides the folder icon reset, they can help by sending a video or logs showing the problem. To do this, users should go to the Samsung Members app, tap the Get Help option, and choose the Send Error option after the issue occurs.
Aside from this, Samsung is going to One UI 7 Beta update soon for the Galaxy S24 series. This beta update will let Galaxy users enjoy new features ahead of an official release.
