As you can see, the MultiStar module has been updated to v10.0.32 with support for One UI 8. This update also brings an exclusive “Launcher widget” feature for the Flip 7 and two new settings for all multi-window support devices. The App Screen Size Conversion setting provides an icon for easy switching between full, landscape, and portrait modes, whereas the Portrait Mode Screen Ration Adjustment setting lets you toggle between 16:9 and 21:9 ratios.
The NavStar and QuickStar modules have also been updated with support for One UI 8, but their changelog doesn’t contain any other interesting tidbits.
Speaking of interesting, Home Up is one of the most prolific Good Lock modules you can install on your Samsung Galaxy phone. As spotted by Sammy Fans, it has received a healthy update that bumps up compatibility with One UI 8 and brings a ton of new features. Several of these features are for DIY Home Screen, like alignment guides, item grouping, edit lock, floating toolbar, and more.
Other changes include Page Indicator Hiding for a clean home screen, Horizontal Scrolling in “Alphabetical Order” mode, HomeUp Quick Access pop-up, app launch animation tuning settings, and more.
Combined, these are substantial updates to some of the most prolific updates, and the newer features will be appreciated once more phones get their stable One UI 8 update.
