I don't know if many are aware but with the s25 series they removed some samsung apps such as video play and game plugin which are there with the s24 series and I need an explanation and a reason why samsung removed those apps and all of a sudden removing stuff as I habe shown of the screenshot where the s25 ultra is what I screen shoted vs the predecessor 24 ultra with the pictures I toke. 

Another point is goodlock why did you remove half the goodlock application and I need a reply from samsjng confirming whether you guys will bring back these goodlock modules, like the additional edge panels are already gone and I want these costimization module back, I'm not a fan of the default taskbar and prefer to have more than 5 apps and I'm not really a fan of how the recent menu look and I prefer to see more than one app for such a large screen and goodlock module allowed for that please bring it back. 

Please I request you to atleast bring the game plugin back or a dedicated gaming panel baked into the phone where you get the fps info, CPU,GPU, temperature, RAM and even add resolution, yes we have developer opition but it doesn't give temperature info and it's not the same as having a dedicated gaming status built into the gaming mode, with such a powerful elite processor it makes sense to bring its dedicated gaming menu and also to have something baked in where you get all the gaming info gamers looking for.

Not all of the GoodLock Modules have been updated & released for One UI V7.0... YET.. I don't know if ALL of them will be updated for One UI V7.0, but I think that most of them will be. 

According to Samsung, the official release date for the S25 and One UI V7.0 is February 7th.. so I'd wait until then to see what gets updated.

Have a look at the link below.. There's modules like LockStar, and HomeUp which I don't have yet, but it's mentioned in the link.. I also remember previous years when not any GoodLock Modules were available at the same time as a One UI version update.. I wouldn't panic just yet.

Also, there are apks for QuickStar & HomeUp on apk mirror, but looks like the modules themselves need to be activated on the server side.

HomeUp - looks like stickers are important.

I use an app called Galaxy Enhanced X but it now won't run - says it's not compatible with my device.

Amazon Prime Video isn't compatible either 🤣

Guess some of the software developers were surprised to see a new One UI version, and weren't prepared.. 😂😂

Like I said, GoodLock Modules aren't usually ready for the latest version of One UI, until later on. 

LockStar is still in testing for example.

If you don't want to wait, get Fine Lock from the Play Store and you can get Theme park/Quickstar, Navstar and Home Up back up and running.

Themepark was working already, but QuickStar wasn't, even though I downloaded the apk from apk mirror.. pretty sure that it's server side stuff on Samsung's end. 

QuickStar is working with FineLock   Which is bizarre as FineLock's last update was in July last year, before One UI V7.0 Beta had even started 👍🏻
