Android Authority Lists Good Lock Modules for Samsung Galaxy Customization

Android Authority lists Good Lock modules that let Samsung Galaxy users customize per-app display and volume, back-tap shortcuts, status bar icons, button actions, recent apps, sharing and bulk photo editing.

Display Assistant is cited for per-app screen timeout and refresh rate controls. By default, a Galaxy phone applies one screen timeout everywhere, which the article says is inconvenient because a 30-second timeout suited to texting can be too short for reading a recipe. With Display Assistant, users can let a PDF viewer or Chrome stay on for a minute or two while other apps time out after 30 seconds. The same module can assign refresh rates per app, allowing some apps to run at 120Hz while others use 60Hz to avoid battery drain or a loss of smoothness.

Sound Assistant gives each app its own volume level. The article says a user can keep YouTube Music at 90 percent volume while setting YouTube videos at 60 percent, and can set different levels for games, streaming services, messaging apps and other regularly used apps. This avoids changing the volume each time the user switches apps.

RegiStar brings back-tap shortcuts to Galaxy phones, a feature the article says iPhone and Pixel users have had for years. Double- or triple-tapping the back of the phone can launch an app, capture a screenshot, open the notification shade or access Gemini. The article says users can also set these gestures to open specific sections within apps, such as a WhatsApp chat, a Google Drive folder, Chrome browsing history or ChatGPT's camera mode.

QuickStar lets users hide specific status bar icons, including NFC, Data Saver, Location, Device Care and VPN icons that the author considers unnecessary because they are always active. On One UI 9, the article says, the module can also add a network speed indicator.

Routines+ can assign custom actions to long-press and double-press gestures on the volume and side keys. The article says this is not built into Routines+ by default but can be set up by opening Modes and Routines, creating a routine and choosing Button action under the If section. Shortcuts can open Instagram DMs, launch Chrome incognito mode, start a new note in Keep or pull up directions home.

Home Up changes the recent apps screen through Task Changer, offering grid, vertical list or slim list layouts. The article says these options show more apps at a glance and make switching and closing apps quicker. Home Up's Share Manager gives users control over the share sheet, allowing them to pin favorite people and apps and hide apps they never use.

Gallery Assistant handles bulk photo editing without a third-party app such as Image Toolbox, according to the article. The article says Galaxy users do not need such an app for that task.

The article is a first-person recommendation rather than a Samsung announcement. It presents the modules as optional tools for users who want more control over One UI without making Good Lock features part of the default software.
