Android 12 update - Lost Third party screensavers and SDCard Access

by Excellent_Ad_4

Hello everybody,

After installing the latest update, I've lost access to the hidden menu to pick a different screensaver.
Is there a workaround to open it?

Sadly, for every file manager I tried to use, there was no more access to files in my external memory, which I realized is normal from Android 11 onwards.

Again, any idea to solve this? Without rooting obviously

Even if we weren't able to solve at least the post could be used to warn other users.

For screensavers, sadly no - there is no work around.

You have to enable developer mode, connect to your device with ADB and run a command to set a 3rd party screensaver as default.
