After years of development, iPhones finally introduced the ability to move apps anywhere on the home screen. It was seen as a revolutionary change, allowing users to position icons at the top or bottom freely. But Samsung has now taken customization to an entirely new level with One UI 7 and the Good Lock 2025 update, which brings an array of features never seen before.
The Major Overhaul in Good Lock 2025
Good Lock 2025 has undergone a massive redesign. Right from the start, you’re greeted with a refreshed interface featuring new animations and a “Grand Opening for One UI 7” banner. The UI has been completely revamped, now offering categorized tabs like Notice, Progress, and Tips, making navigation easier. The modules, which used to be scattered across different menus, are now consolidated into a single page with categorized sections. There is also a new “You” page where users can save their favorite modules for quick access.
Along with the interface revamp, all modules have been modernized to align with the latest One UI 7 design. Two new widgets have been introduced—one called Mini Cassette, which lets users quickly access four favorite modules, and another folder-style widget that provides a more organized approach.
DIY Home Screen: Ultimate Freedom
The biggest game-changer in Good Lock 2025 is the DIY Home Screen feature in the Home Up module. Once activated, it allows users to move icons and widgets anywhere on the screen. Unlike iPhones, where movement is restricted to a structured grid, Samsung gives complete freedom to arrange and rotate icons and widgets in any orientation. Users can even overlap items—placing icons on top of widgets, stacking widgets, or arranging elements however they like.
Additionally, Samsung provides an option to remove the dock (favorites bar) at the bottom, giving even more space for personalization. A new control bar appears when resizing or rotating items, allowing users to quickly reset changes with the Reset Size and Reset Rotation options. There is also a multi-select feature, which makes it easier to align multiple items simultaneously.
Stickers and Custom Text on the Home Screen
Customization extends beyond just icons and widgets. Samsung now allows users to add stickers directly to the home screen. This includes blank shapes, marker stickers, emoji stickers, and even custom text stickers, which can be formatted with various fonts, bold and italic styles, alignment options, and color adjustments. The ability to fine-tune transparency and size makes home screen personalization more dynamic than ever.
Advanced Animation Controls
One UI 7 places a strong emphasis on animations, making transitions smoother than before. While it’s still not as fluid as Oxygen OS 15, it’s a significant improvement over One UI 6.
Good Lock 2025 introduces Gesture Animation Tuning inside the Home Up module, allowing users to fully customize animations. There are preset styles such as Classic, Elegance, Dynamic, and Sweet, each offering a different level of smoothness and speed. Users can manually adjust animation speed, making transitions either faster or slower depending on personal preference.
For those who want even deeper customization, Advanced Tuning provides insane control over animations. Users can modify how fast icons shrink, add vibration effects, adjust tracking positions, customize wallpaper animations, and tweak blur effects when returning to the home screen.
Folder and Edge Panel Enhancements
Samsung has introduced multiple folder customization options. Users can now choose between small, medium, or large folder sizes and even let the system dynamically adjust folder size based on the number of apps inside. There are additional controls to modify folder pop-ups, remove blur effects, and even adjust icon sizes within folders.
The Edge Panel has also received useful upgrades. Previously, users had to scroll through selected apps, but now, all added apps can be viewed at once. The recent apps section within the Edge Panel has been expanded, allowing more apps to be displayed for quicker access.
Other Exciting Good Lock 2025 Features
Beyond Home Up, several other modules have been enhanced. Theme Park now allows users to customize folder icons by using images from their gallery or setting stickers as icons. Users can also modify the shape, color, and overall design of their icons.
Camera Assistant now supports direct video saving to external USB-C storage, making it easier to manage large files.
For gamers, Game Booster Plus is introducing features that allow users to force apps to be recognized as games, remap gamepad keys, and adjust GPU-related settings such as texture quality, rotation optimization, and anti-aliasing.
Additionally, Pentastic will bring new customization options for Air Command, and LockStar is expected to receive an update that allows for deeper lock screen personalization.
Final Thoughts: The Ultimate Customization Update
Good Lock 2025 takes home screen customization and UI control to the next level. While some of these features may not be essential, they add an element of fun and creativity that makes Android exciting. The DIY Home Screen in Home Up stands out as the most revolutionary addition, giving users complete freedom over how their device looks and functions.
Currently, Good Lock 2025 is in beta and is available for One UI 7 Beta users. Once the stable update rolls out, it will be accessible to all One UI 7-compatible Samsung devices.
