Change the Lock Screen Color and Icons
You can choose to either hide or show the system icons at the top of the lock screen. You cannot move the system icons bar anywhere. However, you can change the lock icon for your lock screen. Simply tap on the lock icon and then on the icon with 4 circles inside. There are a range of lock icons to choose from as well as the option to add your icon. And, if you want to feel a bit fancy, play around with the icon colors to give it a personal touch
Change The Clock Face Type and Size
One of the great things about One UI 6.1 is that you can choose from a range of clock faces for your lock screen. However, with the LockStar module, you can choose from several different faces as well as resize the lock faces. And yes, you can choose to move the clock face to whatever part of the screen you like. Do note that all clock faces cannot be modified or moved around.
Change The Notification Type
You can choose to either display app icons or the whole label that says you have new notifications. I would rather stick with the app icons option as it shows you what notifications you have received from the various apps you have installed on your phone. Additionally, you can choose to remove the widget, change the color, and also adjust the transparency of the notification label. It would be better to leave the colors set automatically if you have a habit of changing your wallpapers regularly.
Adding Stickers To Your Lock Screen
Lock Screen customization have come a long long way. From just having to stick with whatever lock screen your OEM decided would be best for you. But with Android 14 and Samsung’s One UI 6.1, you can use LockStar to add a fun or personal touch to your lock screen by adding stickers. And yes, you can add as many stickers as you like. However, you can choose from a set of stickers that are provided to you.
The stickers can be scaled, rotated, and adjusted for transparency. However, there is no option to add your emoji or icon as a sticker as of now.
Adjust The Helpful Messages Section
With this part of the screen, you will see messages such as fingerprint or face ID to unlock or even your low battery and time left to finish charging your device. You can choose to either remove the bar, move it around, or customize it by changing the scale, transparency, and color of the message bar. I would recommend leaving the message bar at the bottom of the lock screen. There is no point in hunting around the screen looking at how long it will take to charge the phone.
Adjust The Quick App Shortcuts Bar
At the bottom of the screen, you have two app shortcuts. While you can easily choose whatever app you like there, did you know that you can easily add up to 5 different app icons? Or, if you simply want a clean lock screen without the app shortcuts, just get rid of it.
This is all that you can do to your lock screen using the LockStar customization module provided by Good Luck for your Galaxy S24 devices running on One UI 6.1.
