Home Up Gets an Upgrade: Explore the Coolest New Tools for Your Samsung Device

For Galaxy users looking to make their device truly their own, Good Lock by Samsung Electronics stands as the ultimate tool for personalization. With the release of the One UI 7 update, this essential app now brings an even more dynamic set of user interface (UI) customization options designed to cater to individual tastes and preferences.

One of the most exciting updates in this latest version is the revamped Home Up module, which significantly enhances the flexibility of home screen design. Gone are the days of static grids and uniform app icons with the new DIY Home Screen feature, users can now create layouts that reflect their unique style. The feature allows for the free resizing and repositioning of apps, widgets, and folders, offering a truly customizable experience, much like crafting the pages of a personal planner.

DIY Home Screen: A New Era of App Layout and Organization
With the DIY Home Screen feature, Galaxy users can now break away from traditional setups and explore fresh ways of organizing their home screen. Not only can apps, widgets, and folders be resized and relocated, but users can also hide app icons beneath creative stickers. With the new sticker and layer tools, users can place decorative elements over an app icon, then tweak layer settings so that the sticker acts as a shortcut to launch the app when tapped. This playful yet functional feature is sure to add a personal touch to any home screen.

Show Favorites: Simplified Home Screen Design
The familiar fixed favorites row at the bottom of the home screen is something most smartphone users are accustomed to. However, with Good Lock, this layout is no longer set in stone. The Show Favorites option, available in the Home Up menu, allows users to either display or hide this row, giving those who prefer a minimalist aesthetic the ability to declutter their home screen and enjoy a more streamlined look.

Home Gesture Animation: Smoother, More Expressive Navigation
The Home Gesture Animation feature adds a touch of flair to everyday navigation. Found under Good Lock > Home Up > Gesture Settings, this tool enables users to fine-tune the transition animations that occur when returning to the home screen after using an app. Whether you prefer a quick and simple swipe or a more expressive gesture, the four preset animation styles, along with Advanced Tuning options, allow for precise control over speed, vibration, and other aspects, offering a refined and enjoyable experience every time you interact with your device.

The Home Up module within Good Lock offers an array of tools that enable users to personalize their Galaxy device’s home screen to perfectly suit their style and needs. Stay tuned for the next installment in this series, where we’ll explore the top three most popular features of Good Lock, beloved by Galaxy users worldwide.
