I'm trying to edit the settings.mkitso file in Notepad and also by using a File Explorer so that I can enable delivery reports. It is currently set to 0 and I want to change the value to 1 to enable it but for some reason it won't let me save the file no matter what program I use to edit it. Is there another program that I can use to edit it? Please help.

Maybe you need to be rooted?
I'm rooted and I'm running GingerBlur. I still have no luck editing it even though I am rooted. I just don't know the proper way to edit it.
Which messaging app are you using the one that came with GingerBlur or the motorola one?
Nevermind that last post... I got mine to work with the app root explorer.

Hello, basically I am wondering what is the best program to edit .DAT files ( the typ of file that is [mostly] used by android-game dev's to save stored data of the game )
and edit them,
also i was wondering what if I can't find the game/app map when connected to USB?
> I want to do it on the PC because I have the one X and are NOT going to root it.
Regards!
In order to access those files and write on them (edit them), you need root.

Please read again, I can access them through my computer easily, in fact I have them open now on HxD editor, but I need a good program to edit these .DAT files with.
Then you need to push those files to the phone, which requires root

Since when you need root to access a file created by application that doesn't require root?

The file of an app, say a game is under \data\data and in order to change or replace those files, you need root.

An app cannot write there under normal circumstances.. For writing there you need root, but games doesn' store their savegames there.
Let me put it differently.. if an app doesn't ask for root, all files it creates can be accessed by adb.

This is why non rooted phones cannot cheat on games, they cannot access the files there.
When you go into app settings and look under each app, there is a section that says data....x MB. And you can clear data. That data is stored under /data/data

Check again. All user installed apps have folders there with some associated data. Some games don't have their savegames there, others do.

Indeed, and the games I'm wondering about do have the save game in the folder, simply access-able when I connect my phone (One x) to the PC.
Any how, how could I open these files, with what program?

The save games' files are usually XML files. You should be able to simply use notepad (or any other text/word associated software) to edit them.

Hex editor, and messing around to see what each adress does. Every game dev uses their own liba and stuff, there is no universal program to edit those files.
Its like writting your own secret code inside a book, someone else might open it, but go figure out how to interpret each line.

Is it possible to hack games and get free in-app purchases such as on the iphone for android i've been looking but haven't found anything yet.

It sure is. Hell, there even is a forum wide XDA announcement about it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=530
You might try enabling USB debugging... Found under developer options. This is in all Android devices enabling varies by release. Try checking out Setting - About Android - build version click that 7 times and it should enable it in main settings. It has already been said you really should root. This is usually the first step to getting root. I know nothing about HTC, but chainfire root has worked for me many times, from Sony, Moto and Samsung. Google your make and model + root +xda dev.
I myself have used Hex Editor, but it looks like garbage to me. Good luck and please give an update if you find a template or app
Interesting. I'm trying to hack my own game. Hope I can, because it obviously is possible...lol.
Hacking HTC devices is hard as hell, i have htc one and i can tell
The root needs clock work mode
And this CWM needs bootloader and the bootloader needs hellava time and experience
I just dont have time to do all that sh1t, isnt there an easier way to root stupid htc's, or at least to hack games on pc
Or hack the games without rooting
And dont tell me to use lucky patcher because its bullsh1t
Thx for reading
So I was doing something and I was in a file browser and thought this was weird..

Just out of curiosity is that normal? On my old phone before I had root, file managers wouldn't even show system files let alone access to them.

I was able to read system on my original Incredible before I had root, and the same with this phone. I can't modify anything, but I can pull files/apps and save them elsewhere.
/data, on the other hand, is a different story. You have to have root to be able to view or modify anything there.
I'm trying to add some files to my DNA but it will only let me add image files and music through HTC's sync manager. Is there any way to manually select and add files to my phone?
Just go to my computer and double click on your phone.

I'm on a mac at the moment. It won't let me add files like i did with my other droids.
Found a way around my problem, found the app "Android File Transfer." Not sure why but on OSX i cant move files around without HTC's software or AFT.
Because thats the only tool which enables MTP mode drivers for OSX
Does anyone know of a solution for this?
I'm on Lollipop 0F1
This should be per app and not a system setting.
For example, within the xda app - in settings - you can change where files are downloaded to. Within the chrome browser app, I don't believe you can do this. If you are trying to change this for downloading from a browser, try Dolphin browser app. I think it has that versatility.
