Last week, Samsung released the One UI 6.1 update to the Galaxy S23, Galaxy Z Flip 5, Galaxy Z Fold 5, and Galaxy Tab S9 series. After installing the update, users complained that AoD (Always-on Display) brightness decreased drastically, and there was no way to increase the brightness in the Settings app.

Samsung has solved that issue with an update to Good Lock's LockStar module.

LockStar can be used to manually set the brightness of the AoD mode

A few days ago, Samsung revealed that it will bring manual brightness settings for the AoD mode for phones running One UI 6.1. The company has released that update now. The new version (6.1.0.11) of LockStar (46.4MB) is now available in the Galaxy Store and you can install it on Galaxy phones running One UI 6.1. It brings the option to adjust the brightness of the AoD mode manually.

The new functionality requires the device to have version 8.7.99.11 (or later) of the Always On Display app. If you don't find it on the Galaxy Store or the Google Play Store, you can find it on APKMirror or other safe sources.

This change of moving manual brightness settings for the AoD mode to LockStar was reportedly done due to the use of different APIs in Android 14 compared to Android 13. The newer version of Android uses a new security architecture and requires regular maintenance work for all the Good Lock modules.
