These Samsung home screens are weird, funny, and interesting at the same time
Below, we've gathered some of the best examples that we've spotted so far. If you want to try making one yourself — and you will want to — we've also included a quick how-to guide at the end.
The coolest and weirdest One UI 7 home screens
These examples are a mashup of chaotic sticker dumps and icon art, but the only common theme is Samsung users letting their imaginations run wild. Here are some of our favorite creations, grouped loosely by vibe.
There are some good examples here of people not holding back with stickers. Naturally, cats dominate, with the middle example offering a different kitty for every icon.
A striking aspect of this customization is that not only do the icons no longer need to be in grid form, but they don't even need to be the right way up.
Some more chaotic examples above, based on different-sized icons, loads of self-made stickers, and a cool retro Windows 95 revival in pixel art.
The Formula One example here is one of our favorites from a creative point of view. The other two show a sharp contrast between how cluttered or how minimal you can decide to go with your new home screen.

How to make your own customized One UI 7 home screen
If you're ready to get fully weird with your Galaxy phone, you'll first need to download Good Lock and Home Up. Here are the steps.
1. Open the Galaxy Store (not the Play Store!) and install Good Lock.
2. Inside the app, find the Home Up module and install it.
3. Go to Good Lock > Home Up, and toggle it On.
4. Tap on Home Screen and toggle on DIY Home screen on the next menu. You'll see a red Beta logo next to it.
5. Return to your phone's home screen, and long-press on a blank part.
6. Tap DIY Home in the top-right corner. This opens up Samsung's customization toolbox.
You're now ready to get creative with your Samsung home screens. You should have the following options: Move icons anywhere on the screen, even overlapping them.
Resize and rotate widgets, or layer them on top of each other.
Add stickers, emojis, and decorative elements.
Hide app labels, change icon sizes, or go completely gridless.
Use the alignment guide if you want a bit of order in the chaos.

No more chains: NFL debuts new virtual measurement at Hall of Fame Game
NFL games will look slightly different this season, and fans got their first glimpse at the Hall of Fame Game on Thursday. The NFL announced in April it will begin using Sony's Hawk-Eye technology as the primary way to measure the line to gain, rather than the chain system that has been in place for decades. Much like its usage in baseball and tennis, the technology uses six 8K cameras to judge the ball's position on the field. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Here is video of its first usage, prompted by the officials in the preseason game between the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Chargers. The call was not close: The NFL hailed the new technology as a more efficient method than the chains: "Sony's Hawk-Eye virtual measurement technology will serve as an efficient alternative to the process of walking chains onto the field and manually measuring whether 10 yards have been met after the official has spotted the ball. The chain crew will remain on the field in a secondary capacity." While the league initially announced it would keep a traditional chain crew in reserve for games, referee Shawn Smith told reporters on Thursday there would be no chains between down markers for the Hall of Fame game. The replacement of chains with cameras is unlikely to improve the accuracy of these calls, as the spotting of the ball by officials has always been the bigger issue when trying to figure out if a runner got enough distance for a first down. The chains were actually pretty good at telling officials how long 10 yards is. Rather, the virtual measurements are intended to save time, with decisions reached in seconds rather than making everyone wait for the officials to drag the chain out to midfield. We'll see how much fans notice as the regular season begins, with the opener scheduled for Sept. 4.

Tim Cook Says Apple Is Investing ‘Significantly' in AI and Could Buy Another Company
Apple wants investors to know it's taking bigger steps to catch up in the AI race. The iPhone maker is "significantly growing" its investments and reallocating employees to focus on AI, CEO Tim Cook told investors on the company's quarterly earnings call Thursday. "Apple has always been about taking the most advanced technologies and making them easy to use and accessible for everyone, and that's at the heart of our AI strategy," Cook said. Shares climbed over 2% in after-hours trading following the call, after Apple (AAPL) reported better-than-expected earnings with record services revenue. The stock was down about 17% for 2025 through Thursday's close, making it the only Magnificent Seven member in negative territory for the year besides Tesla (TSLA) amid worries about the company's AI progress. Apple, which has lagged many of its Big Tech peers in AI, faces pressure to prove it can keep up after delaying the rollout of highly anticipated features such as an AI-enhanced Siri, disappointing investors. The more personalized, AI-powered version of Apple's Siri is now expected to launch in 2026, Cook said Thursday. Apple previously suggested a more powerful Siri would come this spring. Cook also said Apple would consider buying other companies to raise its AI capabilities—something Wall Street analysts have suggested could give Apple's AI efforts a bigger boost. 'We're very open to M&A that accelerates our roadmap,' Cook said, noting Apple has already acquired around seven companies this year, though "not all AI oriented." Earlier this month, Wedbush analyst and longtime Apple bull Dan Ives suggested AI startup Perplexity could be a target. Apple has also reportedly held talks with ChatGPT maker OpenAI and Claude developer Anthropic about relying on their AI models instead of in-house ones.
