Change Lock Screen, Recent Apps, & Notification Tray [Samsung]
Full Tutorial: bit.ly/fTouchWiz
Subscribe to Gadget Hacks: goo.gl/XagVI
In this video, I'll be showing you how to tweak the interface of any Samsung Galaxy device using a first-party app called "Good Lock." This doesn't require root or any special permissions, but you will need to be running the stock firmware on your Galaxy and you'll need to have Android 6.0 Marshmallow or higher installed.
Good Lock is more than just a lock screen app, it actually replaces your device's "SystemUI" APK, which is basically the heart of Android. With this one installed, you can change accent colors, launch apps directly from your lock screen, tweak the recent apps menu, and even set up location- and time-based profiles.
