If you’ve been dealing with annoying layout bugs—especially when backing up or moving your setup to a new phone—this patch is for you.

What’s Fixed in This Update?
Samsung actually addressed a few specific headaches in this release. Here is what’s changing according to the changelog:
No More Broken Smart Switch Backups: Fixed a frustrating bug where custom DIY Home Screen layouts would get completely scrambled after restoring data through Smart Switch.
Smoother DIY Customization: Rearranging items in DIY mode feels much smoother and less finicky now.
Shortcut Display Glitches: Resolved an issue where app shortcuts looked distorted or misaligned in the integrated panel.
Better Favorites Bar Control: Fine-tuned the background adjustment settings for the bottom app dock.
General Polish: Standard stability tweaks and bug fixes based on recent feedback.
Why It Matters
Home Up is easily one of the best reasons to use Good Lock. Whether you like tweaking your app grid, customizing folder pop-ups, or changing your task changer layout, it gives you control that default One UI just doesn’t offer. While minor, updates like this keep your custom setups from breaking when you upgrade devices or migrate your data.
How to Get It
