Samsung's Good Lock

[exzacklyright]

Pros: You can almost get it looking like stock android (which is why i'm keeping it), Notification layout is nice.

Cons: Battery dies faster, Widgets/Apps Tray layouts are useless for me. Recent apps layout is worse.

Tried it......for 5 minutes i prefer being able to use samsung themes like 'blue and black AMOLED' theme. Good Lock does not have a black option in routine options

Hmm . I like it more. Haven't had any battery is issues yet.

Only issue i encountered is it doesnt easily explain Uninstall.

1. You can just drag drop the Icon from the AD to uninstall and
2. You cannot find the app in Applications to Uninstall
3. You have to go to settings and uninstall from there.
4. Once you uninstall, remember to Restart your device as soon as possible.
5. If not restarted, your power button would stop working and the only way to get it back is by a Hard Reboot (Power + Volume Down).

Hope this helps people looking in to this.

Other than that, had no Battery Drain Issues and it worked fluidly. Did find the "Ignore Repetitive Notification" that I dismiss without looking in messages Annoying and sadly, if by mistake I did say so for specific ones (Work Email and Whatsapp), it stopped showing the message notification all together.

You don't have "System UI" With the Good Lock Icon as high drainage in your battery stats?

Sorry, forgot the * on that. It was mostly visual. Coming from the S6e, the S7e is substantially better due to the much bigger battery, but with a Wireless charger at work, didn't see "major" drain issues.

Although, when the Power Button stopped working yesterday, I almost called Tmo and thought of returning before the Hardboot fix, as this is a System UI App.

Just wondering, did you have AOD on? I did have that off. Doubt it would make a difference, but the Good Lock is a Lock Screen, and since my Nexus 1 days, I remember them always being a Drain.

They just posted a new version and they took care of most of original people complaints, the only thing missing for me right now is the Quick Connect feature that it seems that the only way to get access to it is via Original Notification shade. If the fix this, for me will be a keeper, for sure, I've been keeping it expecting for an update and now I can say that they are 90% where they should be with this.

In general, a very good update.

People use quick connect?

The main problem was that it was constantly draining battery

Yes I do, not all the time but once in a while, very handy, easy and quick way to connect my devices to my Samsung 4K Smart TV. Best of all, with that, I can see the TV content on my Phone.

I use this as well for my Samsung 4K TV! I actually find myself using it more and more lately. I've run around the house a lot while watching a program and being able to send it to my phone to view while I'm in another room is great! I recently was watching a friend playing a game on his TV, I did a quick connect while I was sitting on his patio with another friend, and was able to keep up with the story-line while on his patio. What's weird is that I didn't get any lag using quick connect but when I tried a simple screen mirror i got lag as well as quality downgrade that was very noticeable.

This is the only problem I've been having so far with Good Lock. That and the horrible app switcher..

 

[ktetreault14]

For me I would like them to add a private mode toggle.

I want to be able to actually choose black, and customize more options such as the lockscreen and recents. I don't like the new recents but I can't leave good lock and give up the stock android icons and drawer

 

[Skyrocket2]

I can't find the app in the app drawer. I visited the Samsung Galaxy Apps store and it said the app is installed. When I clicked on the Good Luck app, the only option is to update the app. Can someone plz help?

Edit: NM. Figured it out.

It comes preinstalled on Tmo I believe (or at least it installed itself after a while). I am having issues installing the latest version of Good Lock. Phone keeps restarting and reverting back to stock systemui. RIP

That's weird. I just updated to the latest version and it's been really smooth with no issues that was there with the previous releases. Maybe try the typical uninstall reboot reinstall? Or if you disabled some apps that could be causing some instability.

Yeah, I installed the first version of Good Lock and it was fine. Uninstalled it shortly after until the next update.

There is no way to uninstall the app from the Galaxy Apps store; the only option is to update it. My Apps does not show Good Lock as installed. I've tried clearing cache, re-enabling all my disabled apps, rebooting several times without much success. I am not the only apparently as several others are having the issue and posting about it on reddit. Hopefully this can be fixed with an update. Don't really want to factory reset to get Good Lock working.

I have no issues uninstalling from my device. I just go to the app drawer tap on the icon and it gives me the option to uninstall. I see what you mean by not being able to delete from Galaxy Apps though
