Top 6 Ways to Customize Samsung Good Lock on Samsung Phones (with Android 10)

With OneUI 2.0, Samsung has outdone itself. The company got its share of flak on Touchwiz. But lessons have been learned and we now have a revised user interface. The new OneUI 2.0 contains a bunch of customization features. And the good news is that the personalization features don’t stop there. If you have a Samsung phone running Android 10, you’re in for a treat.

The Samsung Good Lock app unlocks many personalization features that amplify the entire phone experience.

So whether it’s the task manager or changing the color of the Quick Settings menu, the Good Lock app lets you do it all.

Read on to read some of the best Good Lock settings for Samsung phones running Android 10.

1. Give the overview selection menu a facelift

I find the default task manager style in Samsung phones a little too simple. And if you have a big phone, it’s pretty hard to reach the three-dot button at the top. The task manager in the Good Lock app allows you to customize this simple menu in different ways.

For now, you can choose from six different styles. While Carousel and List are the usual, Vertical Stack is the one that is close to my heart right now. It stacks all open application windows on top of each other.

Cool, right?

However, if you’re not a fan of this tall structure, the next best thing to try is Stack Mini. This reduces the preview selection menu to make the application windows more accessible.

To activate it, press the Task Changer card inside Good Lock to install the module. Once done, tap Layout Type to choose the layout style. It’s simple, see.

2. Paint the quick settings menu

Do you want the Quick Settings menu on your phone to be a different color? How does the combination of black and yellow look to you?

If the above seems tempting, it’s time you explore the QuickStar module. It’s a simple module, where all you have to do is select the color of your choice from the available presets.

Right now, I’m in love with the black and yellow look. While black matches well with the dark mode of my phone (battery saving, you see) and yellow adds the necessary punch.

3. Add a popup notification button

The pop-up window is perhaps one of the most undervalued features of the Samsung user interface. Available from the time of the Samsung Touchwiz, this feature allows you to adjust the size of an application window to the size of your choice. And it works best in apps like WhatsApp and Messages.

With the new Good Lock app, you can now add a nifty button to the side of notifications. And when you tap it, a resizable window opens.

To activate it, open Quick Star, press the notification context button and activate the switch. The next time a notification arrives, swipe right and tap the little icon to see the magic. Unbelievable, right?

Did you know: You can also change the location of the system clock?

4. Ace the one-handed operation

With One UI 2.0, Samsung has refined the operation with one hand. Now all you have to do is swipe up gently at the center of the bottom edge of the screen, and the screen will immediately switch to one-handed mode. It’s cool, yes.

The Good Lock now allows you to tweak the mode with one hand. You can assign a handful of different tasks to the right / left edge of the screen. For example, if you want to open Finder search when you swipe diagonally to the left, that’s now possible.

All you have to do is go to Family> One-handed operation + and press one of the handles.

At the same time, you can also change the width of the touch and the position and level of transparency of the bar. Keep in mind that this gesture handle does not overlap the screen edge handle.
