Sam, you are one of the few reasons I finally switched from iPhones (over 15 years worth) to Android. Amazing videos with great descriptions. Thank you, sir!
as a Pixel 8 Pro user, I still can't understand how it is possible that OS customization on Google phones is practically non-existent, at the levels of an iPhone. embarrassing...
@@jonathanj.3695 I have had no problems with the animation on my phone. It could be because I have an animation set to 0.5 in the developer option anyway, or it could be because you are talking about a bug that got fixed in the Android 14 beta. Either way, my phone is animating just fine.
Thanks, Sam! Switched from iPhone to Samsung last year and even after digging into some customization in Good Lock, I still learned something from this video :)
OneUI is absolutely great. Goodlock makes it better like by a thousand percent. Seriously. The math checks out. You may think differently but I'm the foremost expert on all things on UA-cam and the internet in general. Trust me when I say....I'm qualified to give knowledge and advice on anything.
Nova Launcher on my Pixel 7a. up to 12 by 12 grid, any icon pack you like can disable home screen labels, not in app draw if you want and hide apps. basically, most of the home screen stuff you listed. your weird hang-up with third-party launchers is very strange. I have very few hangups with gestures except occasionally in other third-party apps.
Love every bit of GoodLock. There's so much to choose that I cant even settle on one look and feel lmao. S24 Ultra user here and it looks gorgeous with these customizations. Btw, probably a long shot, but would you be down for a collab with me? It'll be a dream come true and this is me shooting my shot lol
Great video, what do you thnik about Motorola Launcher? The Motorola's phones have a clean Android and could you make a guide to custom Motorola's phone with their customs options? Thank you
Glad I watched this. Though I knew and used many of the Good Lock features already, the one I hadn't known was hiding the app names and resizing on the home screen.
Instead of making it so complex. Let me give you straight answer, 1. If you have FULL ONEUI, then yes it is available for your device and everything will work, even if it is not available in your region, use FineLock (which will give you kinks to latest APk files to install and use) 2. If you have OneUI Core, then only a few of the Modules will work. No need to go into Phones Model number and series and A, M, F, etc stuff. just check what OneUI version you have.
nice vids man, hope you get more traffics for your channel! anyway, does anyone's goodlock homeup setting get reset after a few mins?? cuz my s24+ do and it's annoying😢
can you please tell me the model of this which are you using in that video? BTW the wonderful content you are sharing every day with us.. thanks man.. keep it up. love from Pakistan.
You can, however you also get a super Priority Apps bar at the top which you cant remove. It takes up a good portion of the screen and Samsung refuses to add a toggle for it.
Today I set up my phone to look and work exactly like an iPhone through a launcher and some apps. Everyone was surprised as it worked exactly like an iphone and I said that's one of the reasons I don't like iPhones, you can set up any android to look like an iPhone
I really like the new way to add widgets on the lockscreen. It's new with OneUI 6. I rarely get to say it's a good iPhone thing that Samsung snatched up. Talking about the default widgets and not the way its done with Goodlock.
I think s23 fe is a good option ngl depending on what u are upgrading from lol. I recently went from s20+ to s24+ but when choosing phones I did want to get an s23 but the fe was like small for me . As I said just depends on your taste and whatsoever
I still don't understand why Samsung still keep adding things to the lockscreen... I don't want widgets on the lockscreen, in fact, I don't even want a lockscreen. I just want to use the FPR and start using my device unlocked ASAP. AOD customization is another thing, but the options for it are still limited
And thank goodness for the Goodlock module HomeUp. It let's me add the few things to the OneUI default launcher that are missing. Mainly changing the grid layout to more rows and columns and more dock icons. Not to mention changing the recents manager style and folders view on the home screen! Keeps me from having to use Nova launcher....or others....so I still have access to the Samsung default launcher things like dynamic widgets and widget stacks.
I tried to use Wonderland but it always changes my normal wallpaper and my lockscreen wallpaper when I only want to change my lockscreen wallpaper and effect. Any suggestions?
🤔 The problem with GoodLock is how Samsung uses it to devalue existing devices when they want to promote sales of newer devices. Ever since my first Samsung (Galaxy S2), I've noticed how system "upgrades" steadily _remove_ features that devices come out with, in favour of using them in the next generation of devices. People started complaining, and then GoodLock appeared, pretending at first to restore lost functionality. But as time passed, GoodLock started playing the same game .. withdrawing support for legacy devices. The most obvious casualties include camera features in every single device I've owned since the S2, and more recently splitscreen functionality and features. 😡
I think it's good that Samsung has GoodLock but it's too much for me to dig through. I also have a OnePlus and changing icon packs is so much easier, just add an icon pack, select it in settings and you're done. Icons can be edited right on the homescreen vs. having to go back into Themepark. Oxygen OS feels like a customer launcher to me, One UI feels like it's one way for 99% of the people and a whole separate system to learn to modify One UI. I like my Samsung, but I prefer Oneplus for ease of customization.
Except OxygenOS increasingly makes customization hard... If it even exists in the first place. I.e the ease of changing icons you mentioned is not easy on OxygenOS currently you have to scroll through the entire icon pack to find an icon and it doesn't seem to even show the full icon pack just suggested icons that are never correct. Not being able to customise the Google feed/shelf etc...
@rm8385 Actually it's not in the settings but I asked on the OnePlus reddit and if you disable the Google app, then enable it, the Google Feed goes away.
I've been using Samsung and good lock for years and still was shocked how there's way more customisation
Sam, you are one of the few reasons I finally switched from iPhones (over 15 years worth) to Android. Amazing videos with great descriptions. Thank you, sir!
That's nice
I didn't notice it at the start, but I appreciate the lack of music for the majority of the video.

Excellent video mate. I've been a pretty hard-core user for Samsung and still found a new thing in this.

Brilliant explanatory video. Although people might not use many customisations, but even the few they may want are so very well explained here. 👍👍

Some Widgets don't the correct data like the weather for example. How can I change this?
Wish they gave all the features to the a series too.

How can i set up the circle to search function?
What font are you using?
Navigation gestures are working perfectly fine with Nova Launcher after the One UI 6.1 update.
Can you do an ultimate guide to customization for colorOS/oxygenOS

Is good lock only for Samsung's flagships? 1:39
Nope, ive got a samsung A05 and goodlock works. Its just not in the galaxy store so i had to download it from google

Can we make thd app drawer vertical like the pixel launcher?
What ahout the material you theming through the os and apps?
You can, however you also get a super Priority Apps bar at the top which you cant remove. It takes up a good portion of the screen and Samsung refuses to add a toggle for it.
No goodlock in my country
Having been waiting for this video since the last one. Thanks Sam!
It's a shame Samsung got rid of the vertical app draw from Homeup though 😢
Is there a black and white icon pack that I can use? Thank you
I use simple black and white by rui Chen from the galaxy store
Can you do HyperOS next
we need oxygen os next !!
still on s9 hate how much am missing in latest one UI and good lock
Upgraded from note 9 to s24 recently and it is a completely improved experience, much better UI overall.
@@randomclips8698 so stop being cheap and upgrade
I avoid any widget on my homescreen. Because it will suck out the battery faster.
