Samsung Galaxy owners can strip bloat out of the One UI Settings menu, remap hardware buttons to location-aware actions, and build low-animation dark keyboards using four free plugins inside Samsung’s official Good Lock app, according to a hands-on roundup published Sunday by XDA Developers.
The reviewer highlighted Keys Cafe, Routines+, RegiStar, and Wonderland as the first tools they install whenever setting up or reviewing a Galaxy phone. “Since I started using the Samsung-exclusive app, certain plugins have become indispensable to my setup,” the reviewer wrote.
Developed by Good Lock Labs at Samsung Electronics, the free launcher runs on Samsung devices with Android 8.0 or higher, with support updated through One UI 9 in 2026, according to the Samsung Galaxy Store and SammyGuru. Users download the main app from the Galaxy Store or Google Play Store and install individual modules from two tabs: “Make up” for visual changes and “Life up” for functional system tweaks. While earlier coverage examined how Samsung’s modular app replaced custom ROMs for Android power users and handled basic Wi-Fi and mute toggles, XDA’s starter list focuses on four specific workflows for daily phone use.
The 4 Good Lock modules XDA installs first
1. Keys Cafe
Keys Cafe customizes the default Samsung Keyboard with user-built layouts, key resizing, custom colors, typing animations, gesture drawing effects, and personalized stickers. For the XDA reviewer, who experiences chronic migraines, the module made it possible to build a dark-colored theme with reduced animations to avoid visual triggers while still adding custom layouts and personal style that third-party keyboard apps lacked.
2. Routines+
“Samsung Modes and Routines is the automation app Google Home should be,” the XDA reviewer wrote, noting that the Routines+ module expands the built-in tool with touch macros, S Pen actions, and location-based triggers. Users can set a specific fingerprint unlock to open a chosen website or tie custom reminders to One UI’s Now Brief and notification card dropdowns, such as launching a shopping app directly from a recurring reminder. The reviewer also remapped a double press on the lower volume button to open a weather app by default, while switching that same button press to open a grocery list app when connected to a specific Wi-Fi network or arriving at a store.
3. RegiStar
RegiStar overhauls the Galaxy Settings app, which the reviewer noted has grown crowded with irrelevant search results and recommendation bloat. The plugin lets users reorder or hide entries on the main Settings screen—such as pinning Display and Battery to the top while pushing Galaxy AI and Connected devices toward the bottom. It also hides tag suggestions in Settings search, switches search results to rank by accuracy rather than menu order, and unlocks custom actions for back-tap gestures and side-key press-and-hold shortcuts like instant muting or toggling the flashlight.
4. Wonderland
Wonderland builds 3D motion wallpapers and custom lock-screen-to-Always On Display (AOD) transitions that shift as the phone tilts. Users can pick a preset template or layer their own images and motion effects, which the XDA reviewer pairs with the ClockFace and QuickStar modules. “I used to dread customizing my device, but Good Lock modules turned this into something I can’t get enough of,” the reviewer wrote. SammyGuru notes that while most of Good Lock’s 25 modules have no measurable effect on battery life, Wonderland runs as an active live wallpaper and uses more power than a static background.
