Hi Guys!
wanna play with your lock screen or notification area on your galaxy note 5? OK, Samsung just introduced a new app named Good Lock which puts a ton of functionality right on your lock screen and notifications area .
Actually it's an enhancement to SYSTEMUI.

​
Good Lock is only available in the US for now(You can find this app on GALAXY APPS), APK file available for download for anyone who wants to try it out( download from attached file).
​
From being able to keep some notifications in the notification shade for as long as you want to putting widgets on the lock screen for quick access, Good Lock offers a lot of features. It even replaces the notification shade with an interface straight from stock .

Thanks for sharing. Tried a little bit but not convinced at least not for now. It might be just the beginning of smth cool unless samsung will just stop here with no more updates. We'll see.
BTW - the app uninstall after few minutes by itself so seems really just like an alpha for now.

It's not a lockscreen. Actually is a SystemUI replace. It disables the stock one and uses the downloaded one (package installer shows it as "SystemUI" instead of the app's name). Once installed the original SystemUI will be disabled and you will need to reboot to apply the new one.
It looks good. But as they said before it's more like an alpha rather than a finished product. Animations are a bit laggy, the only supported language is english and the settings menu lacks of vital things to make it worthy. Even the Recent Apps panel was replaced with a list which is not really useful at all.
I think that more languages, Theme store integration, improved performance and the good old multitasking menu would make this SystemUI perfect. Uninstalled for now, but I'm impressed because it's the first time I seen a SystemUI being replaced by an user app in the history of Android.

be careful. UI system is very unstable. I myself use samsung note 5 (920C) stock version. and to section Routines - I can once to change the configuration. if the second tries ,. the phone restarts and deletes installed Good Lock apk. and again it is a standard system UI.

The Update is nice.

Basically to make the best use of this without issues, just edit the "Default" routine. Routines, as far as I can tell, just change functionality based on time and/or location. The Notification shade color uses the "Default", which I am guessing will change when alternate routines criteria are met.

I personally like the UI. The latest update adds screen brightness on the top minimum Quick Settings so you don't have to expand it.

Here are my settings:
Disabled the App tray on the lockscreen (I like a minimal lock screen)
Setup Default profile with a white/blue color palate and a personal choice of clock. Only have clock and notification widgets enabled.
Disabled the Lockscreen options (no color wallpaper or transition effect). Shares homescreen wallpaper with this option.

The Lockscreen Fingerprint reader works MUCH better than the stock Samsung one. AND it fixed the bug where it doesn't want to read a fingerprint on the pattern/pin screen. Plus it has a nice stock Android feel to the notification shade. The Swipe left to dismiss / swipe right to save notifications is a little hard to get used to. For me the swipe pattern for saving/dismissing notifications is backwards. The Recents menu is actually easier for me to use now. Easier to see a list of open apps vs scrolling a ton of times.

The only thing I don't like is:
Can't arrange Quick Setting icons in the Notification shade
Can't disable the Quick Launch icons in the Recents
Can't set a separate Lock Screen wallpaper.

I am having a problem with s view cover not showing time when flipped close. Anyone else having similar problem?
Also if they allowed theming of the notification tray it would be perfect.
