Current progress of Good Lock is now available for One UI 9.0

Since the beta program of One UI 9.0 started, the Good Lock team has shared an initial progress announcement (thanks, Sammy Fans) for the next version of One UI expected to be released in the second half of this year. Good Lock is a set of modules that modify your phone’s appearance and behavior in different areas, including the lock screen (LockStar), the home screen (Home Up), and much more.

Today, Samsung has shared the current progress of One UI 9.0 support for Good Lock through the official Samsung Members announcement wall. Here’s the official announcement:

This gives us a hint that the majority of Good Lock modules already support One UI 9.0, such as Sound Assistant and Gallery Assistant, while the remaining modules need to be updated to fully support One UI 9.0, such as QuickStar, LockStar, and Home Up.

The following modules are currently under development, with the expected update to be available during the One UI 9.0 beta program in different times:

• QuickStar
• LockStar
• ClockFace
• NavStar
• NotiStar
• Home Up
• MultiStar
• Game Booster+

The above modules were listed as needing an update because they have a deeper integration with the UI framework, along with launcher behavior and UI-level rendering mechanism. Once these modules get updated, they’ll support One UI 9.0 out of the box, unlocking the possibility of customizing your phone to your heart’s content, such as lock screen, home screen, and quick panel customization.

However, the below modules already support One UI 9.0:

• One Hand Operation+
• Sound Assistant
• Keys Cafe
• Theme Park
• Wonderland
• Edge Lighting+
• Dropship
• Galaxy To Share
• Routines+
• Nice Catch
• Edge Touch
• Camera Assistant
• RegiStar
• Display Assistant
• Nice Shot
• Gallery Assistant

Theme creation and setting (Theme Park), keyboard style customization (Keys Cafe), volume slider configuration (Sound Assistant), and other customizations are already available for those running One UI 9.0 Beta on their Galaxy S26 devices, so there should be no problem when using those modules.

This is common with all new One UI versions where certain Good Lock modules need to be updated before they’re usable in later beta versions of the UI. One UI 9.0 is expected to release in the second half of this year.

One UI 9.0 Beta 1 brings revamped music player style in quick panel

One UI 9.0 is a platform upgrade that updates your phone to Android 17 and brings a small amount of features, as well as other improvements to make your experience more streamlined. The beta program has started this week, and it’s currently available for Galaxy S26 users in the US, the UK, Korea, and Germany, with May 26th being the expected date of when users in India and Poland will be able to try out One UI 9.0 Beta.

While the changelogs have stated various improvements and features added to this version of One UI, it also brought some more modernization of various styles, including the design of the music player in the Quick Panel.

The button styles have changed to have a circular fill around their icons, which makes pressing them easier than before. The waves in the slider have become more colorful and intense than before, and the circular slider thumb has also gained color and glow.

Among other changes in the quick panel are separate brightness bars and volume bars from auto brightness button and volume mode button. The circular buttons’ fill is now filling the entire button instead of a smaller circle, which accounts for modern look, as Alfatürk spotted.

Please note that Samsung might not have opened the Beta program in your country yet, even if your country is eligible for beta testing. In this case, you’ll have to wait for the beta banner.

To join the Beta Program, you must have the latest version of Samsung Members installed. You can get the latest version through either the Galaxy Store or the Play Store. Once done, you should be able to join the program if you have an eligible device.

You can find instructions on how to join the beta program here.

Samsung’s future Galaxy Book laptops will use Aluminum OS and One UI

In an effort to unify the user experience and to make it more consistent across devices that Samsung manufactures, the company have planned to integrate Android-based operating system, Aluminum OS, with One UI 9.0 as the software to the upcoming Galaxy Book laptops in a report made by SamMobile.

The upcoming Book laptops will be in three tiers: entry-level devices, middle-rangers, and flagships. This move was done by Samsung to unify the user experience and to increase consistency, ensuring that your productivity is taken to high levels.

In the past, with the introduction of the Galaxy Watch4, Samsung had a similar plan to migrate from Tizen Watch to Android-based Wear OS with One UI as the software. A more recent event was that Samsung had integrated One UI to their smart televisions.

The following tiers will be made:

• The entry-level version is the cheapest version of the upcoming Galaxy Book laptops that are suitable for the most basic tasks.
• The middle-ranger version is beefier, with the laptops at this range being able to perform a bit of demanding tasks.
• The flagship version is the strongest, the sleekiest, and the most expensive class of Galaxy Book laptops, packed with carefully-chosen device specifications that will make your Android-based laptop be able to perform the most demanding tasks in no time while increasing your productivity in ways that will wow you.

The upcoming Google I/O developer conference will be live on May 2026, and Google may unveil Android 17, which One UI 9.0 will use, while the company may unveil Aluminum OS that is based on the same version of Android.
