Gallery not opening, reinstalling

[Scofus]

For almost a yearish now, my Gallery app will not open. The splash screen shows for less than a second, and disappears. No matter hard or soft reset.

I uninstall/reinstall, but same thing. I tried to do that today while posting. But now it will not install. Progress bar gets all the way to the end on Open Store. Does a constant progress bar for less than a second. And then goes back to the install button. Tried this several times.

@Scofus Have you reinstalled UT using the installer, leaving the "wipe data" box unticked?

Hi @Scofus

Preinstalled apps like the gallery should not be uninstalled.

To fix this, you have to reinstall the whole system from a computer using the UBports installer.
As @MrT10001 you'd want to NOT select the "wipe data" box if you want to keep your data.

Alternatively, you can also switch to another channel (RC for example) and then switch back to the current one (Stable I presume).
