Samsung’s One UI 8 Beta is here, giving Galaxy users a sneak peek at what’s coming with Android 16. Packed with fresh features and user-friendly tweaks, it’s an exciting step forward—but there’s a catch. Some of the popular Good Lock plugins that let you customize your phone are running into trouble on this beta. If you’re a fan of tweaking your Galaxy’s interface, you’ll want to know what’s up before diving in.
Issues with Good Lock on One UI 8 beta:
The feature lets users mess with everything from the lock screen to multitasking features, even unlocking experimental options Android normally blocks. Unfortunately, the beta breaks or limits several key plugins, including QuickStar, NavStar, MultiStar, and NotiStar, with others like LockStar, Home Up, ClockFace, and Edge Lighting+ also facing issues.
Here’s the rundown: LockStar struggles with lock screen tweaks, Home Up has trouble with home screen customizations, and NavStar’s navigation bar options aren’t fully working. QuickStar’s quick settings panel is glitchy, NotiStar’s notification tweaks are off, and MultiStar’s multi-window and multitasking features are taking a hit. ClockFace isn’t playing nice with lock screen clock designs, and Edge Lighting+ has compatibility issues.
These hiccups aren’t totally unexpected—Samsung often dials back Good Lock features during beta phases to avoid severe issues, especially since One UI 8 is built on the still-in-progress Android 16.
For now, some apps might crash or just not work right, but there’s light at the end of the tunnel. As Samsung polishes One UI 8 through beta testing, they’ll likely update Good Lock to play nice with the new OS. If you’re testing the beta, you might need to hold off on heavy customization for now.
Samsung’s 7th-generation foldables — the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7, and possibly the rumored Flip 7 FE — are set to debut this summer, and will be the first to bring the stable One UI 8 update to Galaxy fans.
