Samsung reveals which Good Lock modules work with One UI 9 beta

At a glance:

• Samsung posted a compatibility list for Good Lock modules on its Korean community forum, showing which apps work with One UI 9 beta on the Galaxy S26.
• 15 Good Lock modules are currently compatible, including Dropship, Nice Shot, Edge Touch, Theme Park, and Keys Cafe.
• 7 modules are still in development — QuickStar, LockStar, ClockFace, NavStar, Home Up, MultiStar, and Game Booster Plus — but Samsung says all will be ready by the stable release.

What changed with One UI 9 and Good Lock

Samsung began pushing the One UI 9 beta to the Galaxy S26, and along with it came the usual growing pains that come with a major Android skin update. Because One UI 9 is built on Android 17, many of the custom Good Lock modules that users rely on for deeper phone customization are temporarily broken or unavailable until developers catch up. Rather than leaving users guessing, Samsung posted a full list on its Korean community forum outlining exactly which modules are working today and which are still being ported.

The move is practical: Good Lock has become one of Samsung's most popular customization ecosystems, offering features like edge gestures, sound tweaks, and lock-screen personalization that go well beyond stock Android options. When a new One UI version lands, every module has to be re-tested against the updated framework APIs, and some modules depend on behaviors that change between Android releases. The beta window is the natural time for these gaps to appear.

Modules that are compatible right now

Samsung lists the following 15 Good Lock modules as compatible with One UI 9:

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

These modules should continue to function normally if you install the One UI 9 beta on your Galaxy S26. Users who depend on edge gestures (Edge Lightning Plus, Edge Touch), camera controls (Camera Assistant, Nice Shot), or lock-screen tweaks (Keys Cafe, Theme Park) can update with confidence that their core workflows won't break.

Modules still in development

The following 7 modules have not yet been updated for One UI 9 and are still under development:

• QuickStar
• LockStar
• ClockFace
• NavStar
• Home Up
• MultiStar
• Game Booster Plus

Samsung explicitly says it is working to ensure that all Good Lock apps will be available when the stable version of One UI 9 ships. That means the gaps are expected to close before the public rollout, but there's no firm date yet. Users who rely on Game Booster Plus for gaming performance tweaks or QuickStar for quick-launch customization will need to wait or stick with the current stable One UI version until the modules are ready.

Why this matters for Galaxy S26 owners

The Galaxy S26 is the first device receiving the One UI 9 beta, which makes it the guinea pig for exactly this kind of compatibility fallout. Power users who have spent months fine-tuning their phones with Good Lock modules will want to check the list before flashing the beta. Samsung's transparency here — publishing the list publicly on its community forum — suggests the company is aware of the pain point and wants to reduce support tickets and confusion.

For the broader Good Lock ecosystem, the current split also hints at which modules Samsung's internal teams are prioritizing. The 15 working modules cover a wide range of categories (gestures, sound, camera, display, sharing, routines), while the 7 on the wait list skew toward deeper system hooks (home screen replacement, navigation, game boosting). That distribution suggests Samsung may be focusing first on modules that affect everyday UI interactions rather than performance or advanced customization tools.

What to watch next

Keep an eye on Samsung's community forums and the Good Lock app itself for update notifications. Once the stable One UI 9 release hits wider devices beyond the S26, the remaining modules should follow in rapid succession. Samsung has a track record of closing these gaps within a few weeks of the stable launch, so most users won't be waiting long — but if you're in the beta now and depend on LockStar or NavStar, it's worth holding off on the update until those modules are officially marked compatible.
