Erencan YılmazSamsung’s One UI 8 update continues to enhance the Good Lock ecosystem, and one of the biggest winners is the Home Up module. With the new version 17.0.00.28 now available, One UI users are gaining access to major upgrades that bring deeper customization, refined animations, and smarter UI behavior — all without needing to open the app for some tweaks. You can now manage Home Up’s key options straight from your home screen. If you’re into advanced launcher setups, this is an update you don’t want to miss…
More control over animations, gestures, and app launching
One of the most requested features by the community has finally arrived: proper blur support for transitions and dialogs. The latest Home Up adds advanced animation tuning options using cubic bezier curves and sliders — now separated for home gestures and app launching, giving users precise control over motion behavior.
In daily use, this means everything from opening apps to swiping between pages feels more fluid and customizable than before. If you love to fine-tune your UI, this feature alone is worth updating for.
DIY Home now rivals premium launchers
DIY Home has received a massive improvement as well. It now includes a fine adjustment tool, similar to what you’d find in third-party premium launchers like Smart Launcher. This gives users even more precision when designing and personalizing their home screen layout.

With tools that let you reposition, resize, and align elements with pixel-level accuracy, Samsung is clearly pushing Home Up closer to a full-fledged launcher experience.
New options for the app drawer and Edge panel. This update also introduces subtle yet powerful quality-of-life upgrades:
– The page indicator on the home screen can now be hidden
– The app drawer, when sorted alphabetically, can now scroll horizontally
– Edge panel apps can launch directly into split-screen or pop-up view
These small additions add up to a much smoother multitasking experience and cleaner home screen setup. Home Up v17.0.00.28 is now available as an APK file and is already circulating among beta users. If you’re running One UI 8, you’re eligible to try out all the new features by installing the latest APK.
