When Samsung started restoring a good lock for an UI 7, the homeup was one of the modules that saw the biggest changes. Most of these changes were good, let you edit Edge Panels, Task Bar (Folds and Tablets), Review Screens and Home Screen itself. As these features are welcomed, I find it difficult to appreciate an addition. The DIY Home has a lot of potential, but despite the amazingly terrifying household screens you can form with it, the implementation of it is poor and reminds me of the worst day of Microsoft’s Windows experiences.

DIY HOME: What is it and why do I hate it?
The DIY home usually removes all the guards placed on the home screen. Grid, icon, and widget sizes are unlimited, and you can keep everything, everywhere, together. At the level, it seems very good. Move each element exactly where you want it without any restrictions and probably the old custom launcher’s days. Can lead to secondary. I initially expected it, but it did not result. The way the DIY Home is implemented is almost unusable, and I cannot use myself to use more than needed.
Long pressure or pinch out on the blank on your home screen, and a new Diy house The button appears in the upper right of the screen. Once you are in the DIY editor, you can transfer the icon and widgets freely, change their size and rotate, and add stickers, emojis and text.
The use of DIY Home is like trying to play a chess against an opponent that cheats, changes the rules, and if you start to win, turn the board.
Controls are very easy, very easy. Even on my S24 ultra, which is realistic, the biggest screen with which most people will try it, there is not much room for you to move things from your finger. It needs a motion slider or arrow keys, such as a widget creator in the WGT.
Another problem is the parasites in alignment, all of which are non -labeled, so you press to know what they do. Until then, all the icons you have chosen are on the top of each other in some unnecessary mess, which seems to be in the Carpenter thing. The icon manipulation is also contradictory. Sometimes tapping on a new icon and dragging it, when a different selected, it will clarify this choice and only move the new, while the second time it will move.
The use of DIY Home is like trying to play a chess against an opponent that cheats, changes the rules, and if you start to win, turn the board. It is disappointing and confused, and it forced me to throw my phone on the wall.
Can you look good on a DIY home screens on an UI?

The answer is probably. I certainly cannot do; The aforementioned screenshot is the best with it an hour after an hour. Perhaps if you are more patience or creative, you can squeeze an excellent home screen out of the DIY home, but I think this effort will be better spent on Nova Launcher or KWGT. My colleague Ryan Hans also agrees, saying he wants him not even tried the DIY house.
I think Samsung’s efforts will also be spent better. An UI 7 introduced the vertical app drawer, which many of us wanted, but many users, including my wife, preferred horizontal setting. The option to return to it with more blurred and background color options will be far more useful.
In 1995, Microsoft released The Microsoft Bob, which aims to make Windows more intuitive. This didn’t happen. Instead, it was an incomprehensible mess, just as DIY is mostly domestic creations, and unless Samsung can add it to something more usable. Forgot the best.
Do you like DIY home, or do you think other features will be better use of Samsung (and our) time? Tell us in the comments.
