There\u2019s no word on when that will happen, but things are certainly lining up.<\/p>\n<p>This week, Samsung launched new Good Lock updates to get ready for One UI 8. Updated modules include QuickStar, MultiStar, NavStar, and Home Up.<\/p>\n<p>Those modules have all been updated with support for One UI 8, and each with a handful of key changes. These include:<\/p>\n<p>\tAdvertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>QuickStar:<\/strong> Customization for Quick Settings, no changes in One UI 8<\/li>\n<li><strong>MultiStar:<\/strong> Enhanced multiwindow options, added \u201cLauncher Widget\u201d for Galaxy Z Flip 7, more<\/li>\n<li><strong>NavStar:<\/strong> Customizable navigation bar, no changes in One UI 8<\/li>\n<li><strong>Home Up:<\/strong> Improved homescreen customization options, major updates in One UI 8<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The folks over at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/several-good-lock-modules-updated-one-ui-8-support\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">SamMobile <\/a>captured the changelogs for each update.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1024\" width=\"473\" data-id=\"681942\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/one-ui-8-good-lock-update-quickstar.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-681942\"  \/>QuickStar<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1024\" width=\"473\" data-id=\"681943\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/one-ui-8-good-lock-update-multistar.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-681943\"  \/>MultiStar<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1024\" width=\"473\" data-id=\"681945\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/one-ui-8-good-lock-update-navstar.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-681945\"  \/>NavStar<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1024\" width=\"473\" data-id=\"681944\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/one-ui-8-good-lock-update-home-up.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-681944\"  \/>Home Up<\/p>\n<p>The biggest update is to Home Up, a module focused on giving the user greater control over the stock One UI homescreen. <a href=\"https:\/\/sammyguru.com\/here-is-everything-new-with-home-up-for-one-ui-8\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">SammyGuru was able<\/a> to break down the changes found in One UI 8, where Samsung has brought many of the core options from Home Up to the actual homescreen, rather than forcing the user over to the app itself to make changes. Users can now also further tune animations, as well as fully customize blur. The \u201cDIY Home\u201d feature also now allows for even finer controls.<\/p>\n<p>For homescreen customization, the Home Up updates found in One UI 8 mark a major upgrade, though users still have to jump through a couple of hoops to access them. These changes are also available solely in One UI 8, so you can\u2019t use them if your Galaxy device is still running One UI 7.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1024\" width=\"456\" data-id=\"681947\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/one-ui-8-good-lock-update-home-up-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-681947\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1024\" width=\"473\" data-id=\"681948\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/one-ui-8-good-lock-update-home-up-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-681948\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1024\" width=\"473\" data-id=\"681949\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/one-ui-8-good-lock-update-home-up-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-681949\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1024\" width=\"473\" data-id=\"681946\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/one-ui-8-good-lock-update-home-up-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-681946\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>As for when Samsung\u2019s One UI 8 update goes wide, we still don\u2019t have a date, though these updates <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2025\/07\/21\/galaxy-z-fold-7-pre-orders-shipping-last-chance-for-discounts\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">and general Fold 7\/Flip 7 availability<\/a> suggest that we don\u2019t have much longer to wait.<\/p>\n<p>More on Samsung:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow Ben:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NexusBen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Twitter\/X<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@nexusben\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Threads<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/nexusben.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bluesky<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nexusben\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\">FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links. <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/about\/#affiliate\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/46iGaJ1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-678829\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ROBOROCK-750_150.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"150\"\/><\/a>\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ahead of the anticipated release of its One UI 8 update, Samsung has just issued a ton of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":83183,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[611,158,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-83182","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-mobile","9":"tag-technology","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114896921223317770","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83182","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=83182"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83182\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83183"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83182"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83182"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83182"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
