Samsung’s One UI 8 has officially launched alongside the newest Galaxy foldables, bringing with it design refinements and improved system performance. In tandem, Samsung has begun rolling out updates to its Good Lock plugin suite—a powerful customization platform for Galaxy devices.

Several major Good Lock modules—like Home Up, QuickStar, NavStar, MultiStar, and Edge Touch—have already been updated for full compatibility with One UI 8.

• These updated plugins now leverage new One UI 8 features, offering smoother experiences and deeper integration.
• Users with these plugins can expect full functionality and stability on Galaxy devices running Android 16 / One UI 8.

Plugins Still Waiting for One UI 8 Support

Despite Samsung’s swift progress, a number of Good Lock plugins have not yet received One UI 8 updates. These plugins may show limited functionality, encounter bugs, or simply not launch at all until updates are released.
