Samsung is working on a new update to fix some widget-related issues in the LockStar Good Lock module. Some Galaxy users have reported bugs and missing features, and Samsung has now responded.

The big issue that users are facing in the Samsung LockStar app is lock screen widgets. Users have shared that when they set a widget on the lock screen using LockStar, it disappears after they restart their phone.

Because of this issue, they have to go back to the settings and set it up again every time. This has been frustrating for several users who use LockStar to customize their lock screen.

A Samsung community moderator confirmed the widget problem and said there is a bug where widget settings in LockStar are not saved after restarting the phone. For that, Samsung has promised to fix this in a future update to the LockStar app.

Aside from this, users also reported the missing gesture. Before, users could open some apps by swiping to the bottom corner of the screen. That gesture has now been removed.

Notably, Samsung replaced it with a long press on the right button. But many users already use that button for other features. Because of this, they are asking Samsung to bring the old gesture back.

However, Samsung has not said anything yet about bringing back the swipe gesture. Many users are hoping that Samsung will give more options in future updates to make LockStar easier and more flexible to use.

Stay tuned for the next update, which should make things better on Samsung LockStar.

Samsung will fix a major One UI 7 bug with One UI 8 update

Samsung is continuing to update its Good Lock modules to work better with the latest software. At the moment, the company has now added One UI 8 support to two more Samsung Good Lock apps – QuickStar and NavStar.

Along with the new support for One UI 8, both modules also bring some small design changes and bug fixes. This means they don’t just work on newer phones, but also they now look and feel better too.

The fresh update for the Samsung QuickStar app arrives with version 9.0.00.01. This version supports phones running One UI 8. It means that users can now enjoy the QuickStar feature on the One UI 8 software smoothly.

QuickStar is a module that lets you customize the quick panel. With QuickStar, you can change the layout, colors, icons, and even hide certain items from the panel. The new update also fixes some bugs, so the app should run more smoothly on the new software.

While QuickStar and NavStar have been updated, some popular Good Lock modules like Home Up and LockStar are still waiting for One UI 8 support. Samsung is likely working on them and may release updates soon. Aside from these two Good Lock modules, some other apps, including Camera Assistant, Display Assistant, and MultiSta, received One UI 8 support.

Samsung will fix a major One UI 7 bug with One UI 8 update

Samsung is planning to improve the Toast History feature within the Nice Catch Good Lock module suite with One UI 8 support. This feature helps users see a list of small pop-up messages that appear on their phones.

In the One UI 7 software, many users noticed a problem with this feature. Instead of showing the full message in the toast notification history, it only shows which app sent the toast. The actual message content is missing.

Previously, users could view the text content of toast notifications. But this functionality is not working as previously, causing inconvenience.

Notably, the Toast History feature in Nice Catch is designed to provide users with a list of all toast notifications that have appeared on their device. Toasts are small, temporary pop-up messages that apps use to deliver brief information. This is useful for checking what notifications have appeared or for fixing problems with apps.

For that, a community moderator has explained that there was a problem with getting the toast message history in One UI 7. Samsung is aware of this and says they will fix it with One UI 8 support.

The moderator mentioned that the company plans to resolve the Toast History issue and reintroduce full toast content visibility with the support of One UI 8 for Nice Catch.

Users can expect a more reliable and detailed Toast History function in One UI 8. The company is working to restore the ability to view the full text of each toast notification. It is expected that Samsung will soon make the Nice Catch module compatible with One UI 8.

At the moment, the latest foldable users are enjoying the One UI 8 features. However, Galaxy S25 series users are also testing them, but through the One UI Beta Program. The company will soon start the One UI 8 rollout for older Galaxy devices. Stay tuned.

Samsung has updated its Pentastic app, which is a Good Lock suite. The latest update tweaks the Pentastic app support on Samsung Galaxy devices.

The Pentastic app is made for Galaxy devices with an S Pen and lets users customize how the S Pen works. The new update arrives with version 2.3.09 and brings some important changes to improve how the app works.

The fresh update for the Pentastic app will now only work on Samsung devices that support Air Command. Air Command is a special menu that appears when you remove the S Pen or press its button. It gives quick access to S Pen features and shortcuts.

Since Pentastic is made to customize this menu, Samsung has decided to limit the app to only those devices that have Air Command. This means you won’t be able to use Pentastic on devices without this feature.

Moreover, this update brings the latest stabilization code. While Samsung didn’t give many details, this usually means the app will run more smoothly, with fewer bugs and crashes.

Users should notice a more stable and reliable experience when using Pentastic after updating. You can download the update easily from the Galaxy Store >> Menu option >> Updates. Also, you can download the update from the Good Lock app itself.

This update helps make sure only compatible devices use the app, and it also improves performance. If you use the S Pen often, keeping Pentastic updated will give you a better experience.

Samsung is regularly working to make the Good Lock modules compatible with the latest software. After MultiStar and Display Assistant, Samsung is now bringing One UI 8 support for the camera plugin, Camera Assistant app.

At the moment, Samsung is rolling out a new update for the Camera Assistant app with version 4.0.00.1. This update adds support for One UI 8, so the app now works smoothly with Samsung’s latest software. If you have a Galaxy device running One UI 8, you can enjoy the functions of this Good Lock module.

In addition, Samsung has expanded the Camera Assistant compatibility to include its latest foldable devices, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7. Now users of these devices can install and use this app to enjoy new camera features.

Along with One UI 8 support, the Samsung Camera Assistant brings a new feature just for the latest foldables. Now, Motion Photo will have a shutter sound, which gives users more control and adds a fun touch to taking pictures.
