Samsung is getting its house in order ahead of the broader One UI 8 rollout, and that means a flurry of updates for its Good Lock customization suite. While the company’s latest foldables — the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 — are shipping with One UI 8 out of the box, the rest of the Galaxy lineup is still waiting. But with this week’s updates to key Good Lock modules, it looks like the launch window for One UI 8 is finally taking shape (Source: 9to5Google).
A better Good Lock for everybody
Where multitasking and customization abound

The biggest change is squarely aimed at power users, courtesy of a revamped Home Up. Samsung’s long-standing launcher tweak tool just got a serious overhaul for One UI 8, shifting major customization options directly onto the home screen itself. You no longer need to dive into the app just to move a few things around. DIY Home gets even more granular, allowing users to fine-tune animations, blur intensity, and layout tweaks, all in real time.
Unfortunately, most of these advanced features are limited to One UI 8, which means Fold 7 and Flip 7 owners are currently the only ones enjoying the full benefits. But don’t worry — Samsung didn’t forget about everyone still on One UI 7.
QuickStar, MultiStar, and NavStar all received updates as well, and most of those new features work across both OS versions. MultiStar in particular is adding value, especially for Z Flip 7 users, thanks to a new “Launcher Widget” that expands multi-window capabilities. QuickStar and NavStar don’t change much for One UI 8 users, but their continued support ensures smoother transitions as more devices get upgraded.
Good Lock updates are good news, regardless of your current One UI version
Samsung hasn’t confirmed when One UI 8 will hit the Galaxy S25 series or older flagships, but these app updates (alongside the full availability of its latest foldables) point to an imminent broader release. Given how central Good Lock is to the Samsung enthusiast experience, it’s not surprising to see the company priming its modules ahead of time.
For those new to Good Lock, it’s one of the most beloved tools in Samsung’s software arsenal. Designed as a modular suite of apps, it gives users the kind of deep customization usually reserved for root-level mods, without hassle or voided warranties. Whether you’re tweaking the task switcher, customizing your lock screen, or creating the perfect home screen layout, Good Lock turns One UI into a playground for tinkerers.
