Missing Gallery app - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

I recently installed a debloated tw based ROM on my S7 non edge. Missing was the app called Gallery, although Camera was installed (thought those two was one app together).
Now I can't change lockscreen wallpaper..... (and probably more). I found Gallery for the Edge version, but that app crashes on every launch.
Can someone dump the installer apk for this app? Stock Gallery for non edge S7.

Had a similar issue.
This is how I handled it:
-> First, remove the gallery apk you manually installed
-> Flash this zip package (S7 camera + gallery app)
-> WIPE CACHE
-> Reboot
You should be good to go

Attached is my gallery apk from S7 flat, backed up with Lucky Patcher.
It is installed as system app on my phone. Not sure if it will automatically install as system app for you.

How get access to my Gallery through the Camera app?

Hi to everyone
I just flashed Elegancia 3.1.1 on my Sensation and, I don't know why, the Gallery app wasn't installed by default. So I installed the gallery from the Google Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.moblynx.galleryics&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5tb2JseW54LmdhbGxlcnlpY3MiXQ.. and works great.
The only issue that I have is that I cannot have access to the Gallery app through my Camera app. When I am taking pictures with the Camera app of the rom I am pressing the small icon on the down-left side of the screen to open the gallery (probably you all have this icon too) but the gallery doesn't open.
Any ideal how can I connect these two apps?
Thanks in advance
Did you chose to uninstall it while installing the ROM when you get choices to uninstall apps?
I'm running the same ROM and it works fine.
I believe you can reinstall the ROM like you did the first time just make sure you don't click the gallery while installing so it doesn't uninstall it.
You won't have to wipe either since it's the same ROM so you don't lose apps and settings. Just wipe cache and dalvic then install ROM.
Thanks for the reply valefour
I thought that that list in the beginning was for the apps that you want to be installed on your phone not for the apps that you don't want to be installed.
I just did what you said and you are right. Now its fine. Thanks
No problem.

[HELP] Restore the stock gallery app

Hi,
I removed/uninstalled the stock gallery app. Even though I have google photo installed, I got an error message when I try to access gallery by clicking the gallery icon in the samsung stock camera app. I also could not set the wallpaper for the lock screen, as when I click the gallery icon in the setting screen, it gave me similar error message saying "app not installed". Could someone tell me how I could restore the stock gallery app, or change the default app to google photo (preferred option)? Thanks in advance for your help!!
If you can find the gallery .apk then install it. If not, then reflash with stock 5.1.1 ROM via odin.
I assume you are rooted since you managed to delete the gallery app.
So if you installed a custom rom, grab the apk from the zip file or reflash the rom.
If you are on stock do this aswell

Gallery app issues

I installed the new Samsung gallery apk from apkmirror.com .It wa from the Grace UX.. Unfortunately when i open the gallery the folders doesn’t show the name.. and setting a wallpaper becomes a bit irritating as the menus dont appear like "lockscreen", "homescreen", "homescreen & lockscreen".
I tried installing the old gallery apk which i got in the S7 forum but it fails to install.. What should i do now to go back to the older version? I haven't taken a backup of the older version and i am not rooted too.. stock and unrooted.. please help

System Apps Removal and Addition!! HELP

hi :highfive:,Running CM14.1 and thanks to Alberto
i want to Uninstall Some CM apps , because i like the way new Google apps are having LONG PRESS OPTIONS
so i have installed several Googleapps ( which are having LONG PRESS OPTIONS) now when i goto my APP DRAWER i see many apps DOBULED (cm apps and Google apps - both are sitting sidebyside in my app drawer)
i dont want CMapps, soooo...
can i remove them?? if i remove them does CM14.1 start behaving wierd??
and another thing is i want Stock Google apps to take CMapps place like system apps
( i can manually goto ES explorer and change to systemapps, but i got a doubt!! )
do these new system-apps get Playstore updates?? as normal apps??
Things i want to remove:
CM - calender, contacts, phone(dialer), Filemanager, messenger, camera,caluculator,Clock,Gallery
-----------------
i want to replace all of them will Google apps and Moto apps
so can anyone suggest me things to do/ not to do???
are those apps mentioned above safe to remove/replace??
Use a Gapps package that is more complete... like Stock or Full, or maybe even Super but I'm not sure there is room in the system partition. Stock and Full will replace embedded apps with Google apps (look at the detail here). Otherwise you can use TiBu or something to write over the stock apps, but they will just get replaced again on the next nightly you flash.
The only thing you need to do is reflash the rom but now this time use Gapps aroma installer from opengapps.org in that zip you can do everything you want like selecting and removing apps. you can select which googleapp you want to use and which stock cm app you wnat to remove.

How could I update system apps ?

Hello, I am currently making a few software modifications on my rooted Galaxy S9 on which I installed Noble ROM from AlexisXDA to be able to use one ui 4.1 with android 12. Now I’m trying to install One UI 5 apps on it, so I already installed Samsung Messages, Contacts, Phone dialer and Gallery as system apps using Lucky Patcher and everything worked as expected, and these apps simply replaced the old ones. Though, now I am struggling to install One UI 5 files app (aka Samsung My Files 14.x). This app is only supposed to be compatible with android 12L and more recent, but I managed to change the min SDK requirement to make it run on android 12. After I changed the min SDK I installed it as system app using Lucky Patcher and now everything is working until I long press a file which makes the app crash. Digging into android files, I noticed in the system/priv-app folder that the original version of MyFiles was still installed and I can’t delete it. Second thing I noticed, in the original MyFiles folder (in private app) there’s a file with the same name as the apk but the extension .prof is added next to it. I don’t know what this file is but I’m pretty sure this is what makes the original version work fine. So, can anyone tell me what this prof file is, and how I could make one for my custom My Files App please ?
Only for clarity:
Apps stored in /system/app are APKs what are indispensable part of Android OS - user apps has nothing to do there
whereas
apps stored in /system/priv-apps are APKs to be granted system permissions, regardless of the app signature: they at any time can get removed - mostly without any harm but requires Android is got rooted

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So, if I understand it correctly it means my version of the app gets rejected every time by the priv-app folder right ? Unlike the preinstalled My Files app which is granted system permissions ?
