Samsung has released a new module that was created specifically for S Pen devices running , so that includes the series. It’s called Pentastic and it doesn’t necessarily bring many new features as much as it brings fresh customization options.
To begin with, Pentastic adds a new option to change the way the is displayed. As any S Pen user can let you know, Air Command pops up by default in fullscreen when you eject the S Pen from its holster, giving you a list of apps that work best with the stylus. Pentastic doesn’t change this functionality but it lets you change the Air Command menu from fullscreen to a floating vertical strip containing the apps.
Furthermore, Pentastic comes with an additional S Pen shortcut in case the ‘hold down Pen button’ shortcut in Air Actions isn’t enough. The module introduces a double tap shortcut that can be activated when holding the S Pen button pressed and double tapping the S Pen tip to the screen. You can, for example, assign an S Pen app to launch when this gesture is performed, or you can choose one of the standard non S Pen apps instead.
This new Good Lock module also adds the option to change the shape of your S Pen pointer. You can keep the default option or you can change the pointer into a mouse cursor, a heart, and more. Furthermore, the Good Lock module allows you to pick the sound your phone makes when the S Pen is ejected from its holster.
All in all, Pentastic adds quite a few interesting customization options as well as one practical shortcut, so you might want to give it a try if you’re an S Pen user. You can from the Galaxy Store or our but keep in mind that you will need Good Lock and One UI 2.5 in order to make it work.
