Facing trouble with the Home Up Good Lock module? You’re not alone, and a fix is coming

Custom folder label colors are to blame.

Facing trouble with the Home Up Good Lock module? You’re not alone, and a fix is coming

Home Up module users may be experiencing difficulties in backing up their settings if they have customized folder label colors. Samsung is actively working on a solution and plans to release it in a forthcoming software update. In the meantime, users can restore their folders to original label colors and generate backups. Despite Samsung's One UI being rich in features, modules like Good Lock provide additional customization options for devices.

Modules like Home Up allow for deep customization of the home screen, and users can back up their settings for later restoration. However, an issue has arisen with the Home Up module's backup functionality, which prevents users from restoring their settings. If you encounter this problem on your Galaxy device, you can take solace in knowing that Samsung is already addressing the issue.

According to a post on the Samsung Community forums, the Home Up module's backup feature fails to function correctly when users opt for custom folder label colors. A Samsung Community moderator shared this information following a user's report that Home Up was deleting their backup file and indicating that it was "broken."
