You will have to let us know what you think about it after using it for awhile. I use it lots. It seems much more convenient for me.
I have used it in the past but I like cleaner look without anything at the bottom , if I switch between recent apps I like the cards more

Samsung has added so many customization options now that you can actually have very minimal real estate used on the bottom of your screen using gestures instead of buttons. And you can add even more customization with the Good Lock - One Hand Operation app (use side swipe gestures to access recent apps, etc) and you can change the appearance of recent apps list in Good Lock>Home UP>Task Changer.

I'm using One UI instead of Nova because I'm able to theme Edge Panel app icons using Good Luck Theme Park.
I've actually been trying the One UI launcher instead of Lucid Launcher. I've had Notes since the Note 2 and I've never used Samsung's launcher till now. So far, I'm really liking it.

I've been wanting to switch from Nova to One UI, but the edge lighting feature still doesn't work with themeing the icon packs. It picks that one ugly blue for all my apps. If I use the system icons there's no problem though.

Pleased to announce this issue has be resolved with the latest update (AVCK). The bottom recommended apps drawer is dynamic and changes as intended. Thank you Samsung for the fix!

When can we expect this fix to be rolled out to all affected phones?
If you haven't already done this, go to settings>software update to check for an update. Some people also reported getting the update by checking for updates in the galaxy store. I hope your update happens soon.

I think most people got theirs through update in Galaxy Store but everytime I checked, no update for 4 UI. Mine ended up being a software update. I wonder if it was because, being on Verizon, I still hadn't received the April software update yet so maybe the fix was packaged in the April update?

With Verizon nothing surprises me anymore how they handle Samsung devices lol

Got the fix for this overnight on my S20FE but it still seems to be a bit random as to which apps and when get shown on Recent Apps.

Seems to need an app to be open and used for a bit before it becomes eligible and even then it is not a certainty. Meanwhile other apps seem to get stuck on there even if many other apps have been used in the meantime - just a thought, is this related to whether an app is allowed to run in the background?

Seems to have settled down now after a few days use. Does it learn from your usage pattern as to what an when to keep in Recent Apps favouring those you spend more time actively using over those you quickly open and close?
