Changing the wallpaper on a Samsung without Samsung Gallery app (lemmy.ml)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

7 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I deleted a Gallery app from my Samsung tablet and found out I cannot change the DeX wallpaper anymore (the Settings app says "The required app not found"). Other gallery apps don't help, and the official one is available neither in Google Play nor in Galaxy Store. Is there any other way to change the wallpaper without the Samsung Gallery app? And please don't tell me about doing a factory reset. Thanks an advance.

Why go through so much hassel? It's the default system app. Many samsung services and app's are likely hardcoded to use it for stuff like that. It also excels in certain tasks like bulk image moving, deleting compared to Google photos. You won't get hurt just by having it installed.
