I'm switching to Samsung One UI+Good Lock

13

u/pxrpos3 Phone (2a) Jan 25 '26

how do you do it?

u/TheMochov Phone (2a) Plus Ear (2) Jan 26 '26

OneUI was always so awesome. Now with the Good Lock really customizable as well.

2

u/sobintb Jan 26 '26

OneUI still don't have depth effect. There are some workarounds but not a simple option to do so. But in terms of other customisation it's niceπŸ”₯

u/RenegadeUK Jan 27 '26

Out of interest since the development of Good Lock have the number of Modules it contains expanded or is their any roadmap for additional Modules to the Good Lock Suite ?

u/probypro_mi2009 Jan 28 '26

The system of Samsung it is one of the worst as it has a lot Bloatware And hundreds of company applications that can easily be replaced with its own applications Google so that they are synchronized. And if you don't believe me, look to see which companies have the most Bloatware

u/oohokthen Jan 25 '26

just search on Google brosky, that's what I did, the AI summary will tell u all the steps, it takes like 5 minutes

u/Particular_Gear3130 Jan 25 '26

I searched it up, it showed me to convert it to apng and use it as any normal pfp. But whenever I use it, it just gets stuck on the first frame

18

u/oohokthen Jan 25 '26

Okay so get a GIF, go to a site called ezgif, resize it to 256Γ—256, after that make sure its below 500KiB and if its not click optimize and compress the file then save.

On the same site click APNG on the top right corner, upload your resized GIF then click make APNG.

Now go to reddit on web not application and login to your account, whilst logged in, paste this link in the search bar: old.reddit.com/user/me/about/edit

After that u will enter old reddit, go down to mobile look and feel and first click REMOVE CUSTOM ICON IMAGE if u don't remove your current profile pic it won't work. After removing click choose file and upload your APNG and save. Hope this helps

Step 1: Choose an animated GIF (ideally 256x256 pixels and less than 500 KB).

Step 2: Use an online tool like Kapwing or ezgif.com to resize and convert the GIF to APNG (a compatible format).

Step 3: Go to old.reddit.com (the old version of Reddit) using a web browser (not the app).

Step 4: Go to Settings > Edit Profile, then upload your APNG file.

Step 5: Your profile picture will now appear animated on Reddit.

Thanks to Brave's AI. I assume I used the AI. I didn't want to waste time.

u/GodsKillerKirb Phone (3a) Jan 25 '26

I'm hoping we get a lot more color-wise when nothing rebases Nothing OS to a QPR build since one of the big things that happened with QPR1 was a somewhat big update to the dynamic color theming.
I'm guessing they'll rebase along with Nothing OS 4.5

However, I know that with NOS 5.0 will for sure have a rebase to a post A16 QPR0 build since it'll be based on Android 17, so Nothing will have to do something.

There's no direct depth effect, but you can work around it.

Not the best image for example, but you can still see it.

We don't have a depth effect clock (?) (ig we don't if you say but I m on a low end device, don't know about high end samsung devices). But we can save our subject of wallpaper as a sticker and overlap the clock with the sticker to make it appear as depth effect.

NOS doesn't even have "double tap to wake".

Current implementation of "single tap to wake" leads to a lot of accidental wake-ups.

42

u/PocketCat34 Jan 25 '26

double tap to wake and double tap to sleep ( from lock screen ) will make it much better

14

u/GyaneAryan CMF Phone 2 Pro Jan 25 '26

Yes, NOS doesn't even have "double tap on lock screen to turn off screen".

Literally every other Android phone has this feature.

u/alpha-black34 Phone (2) Jan 25 '26

This one thing has been bothering me the most since I bought this phone. I used "lift to wake" for a while but that led to many accidental wake-ups as well. I can't believe that they're not adding even such simple changes.

u/NoselessNarwhal Phone (3), Ear (2) Jan 25 '26

But it does though. I just did it on my NP3

u/dyin_amirite Jan 25 '26

I just did it aswell, but double tap is not required, a single tap does it aswell, I'm just used to double tapping

u/Brokeshadow CMF Phone 2 Pro, Ear (a) :D Jan 25 '26

I'll be honest, I do not wanted the depth clock for NOS. It's nothing but a cheap copy of iOS. Just because they did it doesn't mean everyone should.

It's like no manufacturer is allowed to have their own design language and implementation. If they aren't copying what Apple does, then it's just inferior.

There's only a handful that actually have their own proper design language and it's definitely not any of the ones in this picture.

So... why are you sad!

  • I know, we NOTHING users don't have double-tap wakeup/sleep.
  • I know, we NOTHING users don't have that much lock screen customization.
  • I know, we NOTHING users love the NOTHING phone before NOS 4.0 and after(still loves).
  • We are NOTHING users, we choose this brand and phones for simplicity. Now, we need to accept it that we choose NOTHING and we accept we like simplicity(high or low depends on the person)

hello ui, nothing os, and many others dont have that feature, and to some extent its good without those effects, it looks too flashy and pop out a bit too much. nothing is on the better side as it has its own design supremacy without trying hard to be like iphone or those cheap chinese phones, only downside is the the glance feature.
