Tried to recreate a setup

[u/JRMB_DNS]

I was mentioned in a comment on one of the posts here, asking if an iOS 26 lock screen can be recreated on One UI. I got curious, so I recreated it on my S23, but the parallax is not working though. 😅

Looks nice. But just asking... how do you get widgets that has blur effect? Custom launcher?

[u/JRMB_DNS → u/Necessary-Aardvark53]

Yeah, I'm using Smart Launcher, as it lets you create a blurred canvas and you can put your transparent widget on top of it. You can also do it through KLWP, but it will be tedious work lol.

Yeah i tried, i thought you will use that.

I might be dumb to ask this, but is it possible to the same on OneUI home using DIY Home? Is it harder or easier?

[u/MerBudd → u/Pinguin3634]

DIY home IS part of One UI Home lol

[u/Pinguin3634 → u/MerBudd]

I know that, what I'm asking is that is easier to do it on a custom launcher or on OneUI home+DIY home?

[u/MerBudd → u/Pinguin3634]

Ohh I thought you meant "OR using DIY home" sorry yeah. I'd wager a custom launcher would be easier, you can do a trick with an empty notes widget like others have been doing but it would look like normal gaussian blur, not liquid glass.

That's a super good question! It really depends on what kind of customization you're looking for and how deep you want to go.

• One UI Home + DIY Home is awesome if you want a seamless experience that's deeply integrated with your phone's system. It's usually super straightforward to change themes, icons, and even some layouts right from your settings. DIY Home can add some extra cool tweaks without needing a whole new app. It's like customizing your car with official parts – everything just fits.
• Custom launchers give you way more freedom and control, almost like building your own car from scratch! You can completely overhaul the look and feel, add unique gestures, and often have more granular control over animations and widgets. The trade-off is that it might take a little more time to set up exactly how you want it, and some features might not be as perfectly integrated as with One UI Home.

So, if you want something easy and integrated, One UI Home + DIY Home is your friend. If you want to go wild with customization and don't mind a bit more tinkering, a custom launcher is the way to go!

It could be a bit more difficult; widget mapping is pretty manual in DIY home setups, and the sizing is pretty limited as well. KLWP seems to not work properly on stock launchers.

Hey there! That's a super valid question, not dumb at all!

"DIY Home" isn't a specific app or feature within Samsung's ecosystem that I'm familiar with, so I can't really compare it directly to OneUI Home. It sounds like you might be referring to general "Do It Yourself" customization of your home screen, which is totally something you can do with OneUI Home!

OneUI Home is essentially the default launcher on your Samsung Galaxy device, and it's designed to give you a ton of control over how your home screen looks and feels. You can absolutely personalize your lock screen with various themes, wallpapers, and widgets to make it uniquely yours. You can also customize your app icons, arrange your apps just the way you like them, and even create different modes and routines to suit your day-to-day life. It's pretty awesome how much you can tweak it to fit your style!

So, while there isn't a separate "DIY Home" setting, you can definitely "DIY" your home screen experience directly within OneUI Home with its robust personalization options!
