Samsung is rolling out an update to Good Lock's LockStar module. Carrying version 8.5.00.10, the latest update brings a new feature and two improvements for devices running on One UI 8.5 (Android 16 QPR2), which, at the moment, are Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Starting with the new feature, the new LockStar update brings a new screen unlock animation, called Swirl. As the name suggests, with this option selected, when you unlock the phone, first the lockscreen swirls and then the homescreen appears, as you can see in the GIF below (via Tarun Vats).
As for improvements, Samsung says that with this LockStar update, it has “Adjusted manual brightness range for Full screer AOD” and “Improved status bar visibility in Unlock animation edit screen.”

I’m a computer science engineer living in Hyderabad, India, who has a keen interest in automobiles and consumer electronics. My journalism career kicked off in 2017 with MySmartPrice where I wrote news, features, buying guides, and explanatory articles about technology among other things, and reviewed many products, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, PC components, smartwatches, audio devices, wearables, and smart home products. Since then, I have worked for 91Mobiles, Apple, and Onsitego, before finally landing on SamMobile.
