I'm pretty sure they did this to keep people from complaining about app functionality and support calls. If a person has figured out how to install good lock you can assume they are relatively tech savvy and those types of people already have read into the pro's and cons of installing good lock and the things you may encounter using unverified apps on the home screen. Kudos to Motorola for doing it right from the beginning.

[@picklebackmom]

Yes! And it's really not that hard to do 😂 geez it's really not that hard to download an app, people do it everyday

[@bogdanmanea366]

Yeah but how about people in countries where this app isn't available?@@picklebackmom

👍🏾This video is extremely helpful. I also have the blue/ gunmetal. In spite of the hoops I had to jump through I love my Flip 5💙

[@kimberleysweetser6087]

Thank you so much for this instructive video. By following your tutorial and installing Good Lock, my cover screen has additional widgets with apps to play with, without having to open the phone. I added my Google Photos, Google Mail, my security cameras and Messenger. I am enjoying my Samsung Z Flip 5, now more than ever, and hardly ever have to open the phone, which I appreciate.

I agree with you. I just put my sim card into my flip 5 this morning. I took it out of my razr +. Front screen on razr + is awesome. Z flip 5, not so much. But ill rock z flip 5 for a couple weeks and see. Thanks for your vids!

thanks for showing this I appreciate it i didn't know what to do with the cover screen and you're right it is pretty lame when I have the Motorola Razr plus and it does this by default.

[@hardrubbernips_]

What cover screen protector are you using if you don't mind me asking?

[@YankeesGiants]

I would guess you have heard of Good Lock before this. Cause with it you can completely charge your whole Samsung phone anyway you like. Yes maybe Samsung should have made the front screen to get apps like Motorola but they didn't and really it isn't that hard to do it with Good Lock.

[@picklebackmom]

Yeah, if folks aren't using good lock on their Samsung's already, they're missing out. Love my keys Cafe

[@TechOdyssey]

Motorola got it right. Not sure what Samsung was thinking

[@ljacobs357]

It is hidden there because they consider it experimental. Once it is refined, they bake into the os. I prefer the way Samsung does it.

[@user-jd4uc4xm2k]

What case is this? Do I need one that protects the hinge as well?

[@richardravoii6014]

On another note.. How is that case.. is it thin? I'm waiting for my Latercase to come. I've had a few different flip cases but always go back to my Latercase because it's so minimal and fits like a glove on the phone.

[@TechOdyssey]

The case is good. This is the Ringke Slim case. I like it anyway

[@Komsan473]

When i open the good lock app it takes me to a list of apps that says make up on the left and life up on the right. There is now menu or way to get to settings. Do you know a fix?

The stupid Good Lock should be baked in One UI. When I did have a Samsung phone, it would frustrate me when I got the new Android update that Good Lock became useless and couldn't use it until stupid Samsung made Good Lock compatible with the new Android version...

[@adityarajarora]

Why I can't see all the apps inside of the Launcher widget while choosing what apps to show on the cover screen. I didn't find some of the apps inside of "I love Foldables" Clock, Calender, Camera. Any reason or solution?

Hey my good Luck doesnt have multistar in the app annybody got the same thing there is no multistar for me so i cant get it😢

[@ccroy2001]

Is that the leather Samsung case? I ordered one with my Z Flip. Shipping next week.

[@TechOdyssey]

This is the Ringke Slim case.

[@KeithElite]

Let them know! I have both the Z Flip 5 and the RAZR+, The front screen experience on the Motorola phone is better, without a doubt. The Samsung's build quality is much more solid. Fact. But so far, the RAZR+ is still leading the way from my personal use. To be clear, I've had the Z-Flip 3, the 4, and the now 5...

[@js4313]

Wish I saw this days ago mine will arrive today 😅 I couldn’t decide for a while I did the trade in with Samsung I hope I don’t regret it but I’m sure it’s worth it trading my iPhone

I have the Ringke Slim case. It seems good. I also ordered the Caseology Nano Pop but I have to wait a week for it to get here

What case are you using?

[@TechOdyssey]

Ringke Slim Case

[@superg50zero32]

I agree someone that's not tech savvy will probably be disappointed with 4 or 5 widgets on that small z flip 5 screen, just seems kind of lazy that Samsung is reliant on other apps to get the best out of the small screen. I've been using it for about a week now, photos are decent, battery life not so great and sometimes I still find myself flipping the phone anyway and using the larger display. It does have that premium feel so the build quality is top notch. I only spent $200 with a trade-in so can't really complain, but I can see somebody not impressed with the phone that spent over $1,000.

[@js4313]

Trade in is only reason I did too

[@TechOdyssey]

It was too good to pass up

[@braddunbar5976]

How can I customize my apps ? Move them around in different order

[@roubymakeup5034]

I have also whatsapp app GCC Countries version, for me thats enough, KZbin, Netflix, whatsapp and sms, so I don't need good luck App, but the explanation was useful because I don't know how to do it I don't know there is Lap setting 😅I was trying in screen display setting and app settings😅😅😅.Thank you.

[@richardravoii6014]

I've thought this from once i saw the Razr.. if Moto had the balls to do a great trade in for the z flip 4 they would fully challenge Samsung. But they don't and Samsung is basically giving you the phone with the trade in they offered. Plus support from Samsung stores if you have one close. Moto can't compete with that and until they do they don't stand much of a chance.

[@tiannajacquez877]

Honestly, i just dont like the shape of the front screen on the zflip, on top of the hoops you gotta jump through to use apps on it. Its a shame bc i love Samsung, but because of those annoyances along with the razr's fold being less noticeable, I'm leaning toward getting the razr.

so you can't install the moto launcher on the flip?

I must be living in different universe. When I download good lock there are no options for multistar or life up, it's completely different

[@Alexander0189]

good lock isn't 3rd party, its made by Samsung. I dont think the process is convoluted...it's pretty easy, download good lock, enable it and its done. Ye it should be in the default settings or comes as standard but its hardly complicated

[@TechOdyssey]

For someone with no experience who wants a flip phone for the first time it's incredibly convoluted. There is no tutorial, no pop ups or anything that explains it or helps someone set it up. A normal person will have no clue how to do this much less know that you need to go through all of these steps. It's ridiculous

[@Alexander0189]

@@TechOdyssey ye I get that part of it, for the person who doesn't have a clue about this or that it even exists. But the process itself is not what id call complicated, downloading an app, turning on an option and selecting apps. I think the point you're making is that it's a hidden feature almost and only those in the "know" will be able to benefit from it. Id agree with that.
