Samsung One Ui Is absolutely packed with features, but what if you need even more functionality on your Galaxy phone? Well that’s where the company is Good lock suite with apps comes in. Good locking apps provide additional settings and features to Samsung phones that Galaxy S25 series. Need more camera settings and adjustments? Download Camera Assistant App. Do you want to fine -tune your audio settings? That’s what the sound assistant lets you do.
When you say that, there are a few settings and features that are found in good locking apps that should not be hidden in a special app that only Nørder knows about and which I will see built -in in Samsung One Ui. Here are my choices.
Individual app volume

I am a sucker for volume checks per app, which allows me independently to adjust each app’s volume output. I have seen Xiaomi, Vivo and others use this functionality in their Android SkinsAnd Samsung also offers this feature, but I have to download the audio assistant app to get it.
However, I prefer Samsung’s approach, which allows me to adjust the volume of specific apps via a list in audio assistant without actually opening each app first. On the other hand, volume checks per app in the second Android-leather usually require that you launch the apps in question and then adjust the volume.
In any case, I would definitely like to see volume checks per app that comes to a user interface out of the box. This is especially useful if you are like me and just really listen to sound in specific apps (eg YouTube, YouTube music and podcast apps), and prefer the others to be quiet.
Quick Tap Shutter

One problem with the latest Galaxy Ultra phones has been Bad shutter delay When you snap photos, taking pictures half a second later than you thought. Fortunately, Samsung gives us a quick tap to help mute this problem in the camera assistant app and snap the moment when we need it.
This exchange effectively reduces shutter delay by taking the image as soon as you press the camera’s shutter key instead of when you lift your finger. It is definitely useful if you often take pictures of pets, children and others quickly moving subjects, and will not miss the moment that I often do when I carry my Samsung phone. It deserves to be integrated into Samsung’s camera, not in a separate additional app.
Show/Hide Status Field icons

The QuickStar app is another great addition to the Armada of Good Lock apps, and lets you customize your fast setting panel and more. My colleague and Samsung enthusiast Zac Kew-Denniss especially likes one of the features the opportunity to display or hide specific status line icons.
This option means he can hide icons such as alarms, audio profiles, location, VPN and more. You can even hide icons related to your mobile signal, IMS network (eg 4G, volts), Wi-Fi, Flight Mode and NFC. Zac points out that this option was actually available in stock Android Back in the Marshmallow days, so that would actually be a case of Samsung bringing this back where it belongs.
Turn off the Delete accelerator in the samsung keyboard

Samsung also has the Keys Cafe app as part of its good lock suite, and this app allows you to customize the Samsung keyboard in different ways. This extends to animations, themes, sounds and more. However, a feature I want to see in the Samsung keyboard itself is the ability to turn off the deletion.
You can hold down the Backspace key in many keyboard apps to delete text passages, with the deletion speed that increases the longer you keep the key. But Turn off the plain accelerator Alternative in Keys Cafe lets me disable this behavior, giving me a constant deletion speed no matter how long I hold the backspace button. It is not for everyone, but it can be useful for some users, especially if you, like me, have previously written sections of text and found yourself by accidentally deleting the whole case instead of just a few sentences.
A hand operation plus

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority
Today’s smartphones are significantly larger than units from 10 years ago, so I completely understand if you think system navigation is painful, especially from the corners or top notification line. Fortunately, Samsung’s one -handed operation+ app makes a little easier.
The app allows you to activate a new gest navigation system that uses the back movement (sweeping inward from the left or right edge of the screen). A standard interior swipe lets you go back as standard, as you expect. However, you can also map diagonal interior sweeps (ie diagonally up or diagonally down) to different actions. These actions include opening the Recents menu, going home, adjusting the volume, activating the display of the split screen, switching the flashlight and more. You can even choose to recreate the usual back movement if you want. And it is without mentioning the possibility of adapting the size and location of the sweep area or the optional long-range actions.
It is a very cool navigation method, and I really want to see it in one user interface by the way. So I keep my fingers crossing that Samsung is listening and integrating this into the core software.
Icon theme
As practically all Android producers, Samsung lets you replace the standard icons for another Icon pack. But what if you want to customize the shape and color of the standard icons? You cannot do this via a user interface, so you need to download the theme park app.
This is quite annoying, as many OEMs allow me to adjust the shape and color of the standard icons straight out of the box. It would be great (and overdue) if Samsung added this to the existing background and style menu in one user interface. My colleague Zac will also see more robust icon pack functionality in the Core One Ui software. That’s because the theme park allows you to use icon packages you downloaded from other sources, while an UI limits you to the Galaxy Store icon packs.
Setup of task shifts
Samsung’s home app lets you customize your phone’s home screen and folders, but it also allows you to edit the look and feeling of the task switch/recycling. You can choose one of five varied task shift styles – I simply like the Stack style seen in the first picture – while I also choose whether to view the app labels and the search box in this menu.
I would like to see at least some of these task shifter styles built right into one user interface. After all, a few rival Android -Skinn lets you switch between a pair of multitasking menystils, so why not Samsung too?
What good locking features will you see built into one user interface?
