1)It would be helpful if the OneUI 9 / Goodlock could automatically create folders and organize apps based on category when using a home screen-only setup. For instance, social media apps could be grouped into a folder called "Messaging," and banking apps into a folder named "Finance" or "Financial Services." This seems achievable with Al, which could also suggest appropriate folder names.
2)Enable automatic icon arrangement when only the Home screen style is applied. Alternatively, provide options via Goodlock to arrange icons alphabetically, by color, or via custom ordering.
3)The blur effect implementation across Samsung applications lacks consistency. Please enhance Ul element uniformity.
4)It would be beneficial to include a slider to adjust the thickness/Narrow/Widening of the lock screen clock font, applicable to all fonts, including those from third-party developers. Currently, enabling bold font affects the clock font negatively, sometimes causing overlapping outlines and illegibility, especially with non-default fonts. Only the default Samsung font offers this thickness adjustment.
5)Ugh, the lock screen buttons keep activating when I pull my phone out of my pocket, or when I clean the screen, or even when I'm swiping to unlock! So frustrating. Make it so you have to actually *tap* or long-press the buttons to work.
6)A new throbber (loading icon). Four dots have been there for a long time, and it doesn't fit into UI/UX compared to One UI 8.5.
7)Once again, regarding the next major One UI update (9 or 10), it needs to include 3D elements, shadowing, texturing, and lighting effects. Currently, One UI 8 is too flat and plain.
Or
8)Bring back real-world, 3D-looking UI/UX elements like those in the TouchWiz era (Galaxy S, S2, S3, S4).
9)When music is playing, a progress bar should appear around(as Circle) the album cover in the NowBar.
Or
10)When music is playing, the album cover should rotate in the Now Playing bar, and the live notification (pill-form) app icon should also rotate. This visualization would differentiate between playing and paused music. The same applies to other live pill activities; for example, the calling pill could glow, or there could be a visual indicator when someone is speaking.
11)A lock option for the all Trash folders.
12)Consider adding blur effect on all lock screen elements (clock font, fingerprint other toast notifications etc.) to improve readability when using certain wallpapers.
13)Improve the Ul by adding shadows, depth, blur, and lighting, especially in dark mode, which currently appears flat. Consistency across Samsung apps is crucial.
14)When charging, display battery information into nowbar and keep it there, Clear from the lock screen. Also, allow other information, such as contact info, to be displayed into nowbar.
15)Improve the color palette selection based on wallpaper colors. Current color choices are not aesthetically pleasing.
16)Samsung's lock screen customization lags behind competitors like OnePlus and Oppo. Glass effects on wallpapers would be a welcome addition.
17)Improve the live notification pill in the notification bar; it is too small. Make bit bolder
18)Implement new and unique fingerprint unlock animation ripple effects. The ripple should vary in size and thickness depending on fingerprint placement.
19)Redesign required for the keyboard; it has remained largely unchanged for years.
20)Add an app lock feature.
21)The blur effect is too strong; for example, the colors underneath the window are barely noticeable. Sometimes it even seems like a solid color, not a blur effect. Improve and make the blur more consistent, at least across Samsung apps.
22)When a vertical clock style is applied, it should become horizontal everytime nowbar is fully expanded (including third- party font styles.
23)Bring back the Exynos processor so the suggestions/features mentioned can be applied, and Samsung will have more control over the UI/UX.
24) Option to fill cells when app uninstall when using home screen only option.
25) It would be greatly appreciated if the option to position lock screen widgets on the side, bottom, or middle could be considered. For instance, when utilizing a vertical clock style and positioning the clock on the left, it would be beneficial to place widgets on the right side of the screen(vice-versa) and this will allow the central area to remain unobstructed for wallpapers or faces.
