Good Lock on One UI 8: What Works and What’s Still Waiting

While major modules have been updated, several fan-favorite plugins are still pending support for Samsung’s latest software


Good Lock & One UI 8: The Compatibility Rollout in Progress

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.

Here’s the current list of Good Lock plugins still pending One UI 8 compatibility:

  • Theme Park – Customizes themes, icons, and color palettes
  • Pentastic – Enhances S Pen experience with new pointers and effects
  • Wonderland – Creates dynamic live wallpapers
  • LockStar – Customizes lock screen elements and layout
  • KeysCafe – Tweaks keyboard layout and effects

What to Expect Next

Samsung is expected to update most of these plugins before the stable One UI 8 release for the Galaxy S25 series. Until then, users should be aware that certain features may not function correctly if the plugin hasn’t been updated.

  • Updates will likely arrive gradually, plugin by plugin.
  • Once compatibility is ensured, each plugin will unlock enhanced features tailored to One UI 8.
  • Samsung encourages feedback—users noticing updates or new features can help by submitting screenshots and changelogs.

  1. Open the Good Lock app on your Galaxy device
