Samsung Rolls Out LockStar 8.5.00.8 With Custom Unlock Animations and AOD Brightness Controls

Only select Galaxy models gain the new options because of version-specific, hardware-imposed limits.

Overview

  • The Good Lock LockStar update is available now, expanding lock-screen personalization on Galaxy phones.
  • Devices running One UI 8.5 gain a new Unlock Animation feature with styles including Slide, Expand, Spread, Wave, Warp, and Ripple, plus controls for shape, color, duration, and interpolator.
  • Manual Always On Display brightness control is included but restricted to models with full-screen AOD wallpapers, such as the Galaxy S24 and newer high-end devices.
  • For One UI 8.0, the release adds a custom lock-screen text feature, fixes an issue with fingerprint effects, and introduces corner rounding for lock-screen widgets.
  • Feature availability depends on both One UI version and hardware capabilities, so changes will vary across Galaxy devices.
