One UI 8's updated Good Lock module makes home screen customization even more fun
The Home Up Good Lock module gained extensive animation customization options as part of its One UI 7 revamp, but it still lacked a way to tweak app launch animations.
Samsung is fixing this limitation with Home Up's One UI 8 release. But that's not the only highlight of the Good Lock module's v17.0.00.28. It deeply integrates with the One UI Launcher, enabling you to bring up relevant customization options with a long-press on the app icon or home screen (via @tnemoroccan).
Further, Samsung is improving the DIY Home Screen feature in Home Up with a new Alignment Guide Lines option. It will help you better align icons, widgets, and stickers for better symmetry. You can also edit grouped items and lock your customized home screen to prevent accidental changes. Plus, it's finally possible to hide page indicators if you are not fond of them.
Another notable change: a horizontal scroll mode for the app drawer when you select the Alphabetical order mode.
You can find the full release notes for Home Up v17.0.00.28 below.
Supported devices: One UI 8 and above

If you use the Edge panel on your Galaxy phone, the Home Up module can now let you directly open apps from the Edge panel in split screen or pop-up view.
Only compatible with One UI 8 Galaxy devices
Home Up's One UI 8 update is available for download through the Galaxy Store. In case you don't see the update, sideload the APK from here (via @tarunvats33).
Besides the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7, the Galaxy S25 series is the only other device to have access to One UI 8, albeit in a beta state. So, if you own another Galaxy device, you'll need to wait for the One UI 8 update to try the new Home Up release, as it's not compatible with One UI 7.

Stock Movers: Tesla, Nike, Opendoor
On this episode of Stock Movers: Listen for comprehensive cross-platform coverage of the US market close as heard on Bloomberg Television, Bloomberg Radio, and YouTube with Romaine Bostick, Scarlet Fu, Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec. - Tesla (TSLA) rose off news that Samsung will produce Tesla's AI semiconductors in a new $16.5 billion pact. Elon Musk described the value of the deal as "just the bare minimum" and said the actual output is likely to be several times higher, with the AI6 component forming the foundation of Tesla's driving hardware suite. The contract win is seen as a signal of confidence for Samsung's upcoming fabrication technology and helps burnish its reputation as the strongest alternative to TSMC, according to Ryu Young-ho, an analyst at NH Investment & Securities Co. Others in the chip space benefitted off the news, including AMD - the number two gainer in the S&P today. - Nike (NKE) shares rose to their highest intraday level since March, after JPMorgan upgraded to the stock to overweight from neutral, citing the earnings impact of the sportswear maker's five-pronged multi-year recovery plan. JPMorgan analyst Matthew Boss notes that the recovery path will equate to positive earnings-per-share growth in the high teens to 20% through to the 2030 full-year. The recovery plan includes global inventory alignment to sales growth, accelerating momentum within global wholesale order books and 2H 2026 anniversary of about $500 million of accelerated and incremental sales-related reserves. - Opendoor Technologies (OPEN) is postponing a shareholder vote on a reverse stock split after a recent run-up in the company's shares. The company had previously scheduled a special meeting due to a notification from Nasdaq that it could be delisted for failing to maintain a stock price of $1 or more. The recent volatility in the company's stock led the board to delay the vote on stock split proposals, according to a statement Monday. Opendoor was the most actively traded stock today, down 7.87% at the close.

The recovery plan includes global inventory alignment to sales growth, accelerating momentum within global wholesale order books and 2H 2026 anniversary of about $500 million of accelerated and incremental sales-related reserves. - PayPal (PYPL) shares are up today. The company will soon allow businesses to accept more than one hundred cryptocurrencies at checkout. The option is going live in the coming weeks and will allow merchants to accept crypto such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether's USDT and Circle's USDC, from wallets including Coinbase, OKX, Phantom, MetaMask and Exodus.
