GoKawiilSamsung confirms Home Up Good Lock backup bug tied to custom folder colors
Samsung has acknowledged a bug in its Home Up Good Lock module where backups fail and get deleted as "broken" if users have set custom folder label colors. A Samsung Community moderator confirmed the issue and said engineers are working on a fix that requires changes to the underlying code, to be released in a future update. In the meantime, users can revert folder label colors to default settings to create working backups.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Good Lock modules like Home Up are popular among Galaxy users for deep home screen customization, so a backup bug could mean lost personalization work if phones are reset or upgraded. Samsung's acknowledgment suggests the fix isn't trivial, since it requires code-level changes rather than a quick patch, which could mean an extended wait for affected users.
- Home Up's backup feature breaks when custom folder label colors are set
- Samsung has confirmed the bug and is developing a fix requiring code changes
- Users can work around it now by resetting folder colors to default before backing up
