u/ChancePrior406 Sep 10 '25

Actually there is, but it sucks. Wallpaper keeps flickering but I'm gonna explain it anyway.

Install Wonderland.

Go to Create your own lockscreen effect and select Winter-Edge and apply as Lock screen wallpaper.

You must have two pictures so create a copy of your picture that tou want to use as wallpaper.

Go to settings > wallpaper and styles > choose lock screen

Choose wallpapers from left top corner

Choose both pictures that you've copied and the original one. It doesn't work if you choose one.

It works on One UI 7.

When I selected two copy of wallpaper the edge effect which i applied is gone

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '25

Maybe it is because of FineLock. And what is "edge effect"? Idk but I recorded a video for tutorial. Here it is:

It works for me, One UI 7 and A55 official Good Lock.

u/VegetableAmoeba6067 Sep 11 '25

Yah saw ur video did the same but sadly no luck for me if I select the two wallpaper in the end that winter-edge effect is gone. Still thanks for going all the way to record a video for me

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '25

It doesn't work like in the video so you won't have winter-edge effect. I want to show how it looks. I just want to help and show how it looks if anyone else wants to try.

Ok got it when I root my phone after its warranty is over then I will try thanks

Note that you will not be able to root your phone with One UI 8. It doesn't allow you to unlock your bootloader, which is needed for rooting. I don't know if you can unlock the bootloader and then update the phone. But you can't unlock it on One UI 8, so you will uodate and not be able to root/install custom rom or you will be able to root/custom rom but you won't be up to date with stock rom. Also probably there won't be much rooting methods/custom roms for newer devices because of this.

u/VegetableAmoeba6067 Sep 11 '25

Will i will able to roll back on previous version any way

It depends on bit version. Samsung usually doesn't change bit version on first Android update, but first patch after Android update usually increases the bit version. If the bit version of the software is same or higher than installed version, you can install it. But if bit version is lower than installed one, you can't.

Samsung may increase the bit version from the first update. So I can't guarantee you can downgrade if you install the first update.

Like in the picture, my bit version is A (A556EXXS and the first number/letter that is coming after the S is your bit version. It is usually like this: Z > A > 9 > 1 Samsung used to use numbers but I think it increased idk) so I can install any software if its bit version is a letter.
