i recently discovered that google continues to neuter the ability to change the default Gallery and Camera apps settings (Android 11+). does lineage bring this config back or do you still have to edit files and move stuff to /system/priv-app?

not sure if there was ever a way to change the default Contacts app through UI.

hoping this new lineage is available for Zenfone 9 soon, which just got Android 13 OTA this month.

I use GrapheneOS and have no issues with using alternative Camera, Gallery, or Contacts app.

I run LineageOS without gapps and have no trouble setting defaults.
