Hello,
I use CM9 and Ti backup and I want to backup ALL android settings (Develloppers options enable, profiles settings...)
I have found and backup com.android.settings, com.android.systemui and com.cynogenmod.trebuchet.
When I restore the 3 files, only some parts of settings are restored, wallpapers for example.
Where files contains others parameters like profiles settings, develloppers options enable for example...
Thanks
PS: I got an xperia S and sorry for my bad english, it's not my native language
I can't seem to change the locale on my Galaxy Player 5.0 (US).
I've tried a few different apps that supposedly have worked for other people (with different devices, I'm assuming). With me, however, they just shutdown with an "operation failed" message. A review of my system logs reveals an error about insufficient privelege to change system settings despite the fact that my apps page (settings > apps) shows that app as having the permission to change system settings.
I've tried this on CM 10.1 and CM 10.2. Is this a known issue with the device? a bug in the rom? or just a peculiarity of my device?

The locale as the region?
If so just go to languages and input, you should be able to change it there.
My Note 3 is activated on the Sprint MVNO Ringplus, so I probably went through more trouble than most to get the leaked Lollipop build up and running. I figured I'd show what I did in case anyone else wanted to do the same as well. I believe SMS is currently not working. This isn't an issue for me because I use Google Voice as my primary number, so my texts go through data instead of traditional SMS.
It would probably be best to do a Profile and PRL update before you begin, as you won't have the option of doing them on the new ROM.
First I made a complete backup followed by a full wipe, and then I flashed g00h's tweaked odex lollipop ROM v.1.1 here.
Next I flashed the bluetooth/wifi fix found in this thread here. Make sure you download version 2 (the file that's 1.83MB).
Next I had to get mobile data working, so I used the APN backup & restore app from the Play store. I used the APN settings listed by jackal830 here. I copied the text, pasted it into an xml file, and placed that file in the APN backup & restore app's folder so that it could restore the Ringplus APN settings. Using the app, I first deleted the current APN settings, and I then restored from the newly created xml file.
The next problem was that my all of my wifi passwords would be forgotten everytime the phone would reboot. I did a quick search and found this post here. Following dajumper's suggestion, I edited the build.prop using Root Explorer, and changed the line from "ro.securestorage.support=true", to "ro.securestorage.support=false". This made my wifi passwords stick on reboot.
After doing all of that, everything is up and running great. I'm really enjoying Samsung's implementation of Lollipop. In order to get this working on Sprint instead of Ringplus, I'd imagine you'd only have to locate a Sprint APN file generated from the APN backup & restore app, and use that instead.
If anyone else has the same setup as me, and wants to give this try, enjoy!
Does your texting work? Seems to be the only thing missing when I've tried installing that rom?

It does not, but like I said, I use Google Voice as my primary number, so it's not an issue for me. I can still send text messages like normal through Google Voice because the messages travel over mobile data instead of SMS.
Aight guess I'll just wait a little more for that to get fixed i need that proper texting but thanks for the info
Which APN backup and restore app are you using? The one I used states it does not restore for anything over 4.0+. That because the OS does not allow for 3rd party apps to change APN.
Never mind figured it out. Will attempt on sprint. But looks like MMS will still be a problem.

I'm using the latest one from the play store. Hit menu, select disable ICS check, close the app and then reopen it. I don't believe it allows you to backup your APN settings on anything higher than 4.0, but it does allow you to restore them. That's why I manually placed my xml file in the folder where the app restores from.

Thanks...Next time I will read the entire writeup . It will allow you to backup and restore. Just had to move the APK to the /system/priv-app and modify the permissions.
How exactly do you edit the secure storage support to true?
After the first phone launch, few buttons are enabled like, GPS, MOBILE DATA, SYNC by default.
I want to edit the file responsible for these buttons and disable them by default.
Any idea which file should I edit?
I wonder what this option looks like: GPS.toggle.enabled=true/false?
in general in all the roms you can configure the toggles to remove or add options
first of all what android version do you have?
its custom rom based on 4.1.2 version
And i don't want remove/add the toggle. I want these buttons to be turned off (inactive) at the first phone launch. Need set it in system file permanently.
That if someone installs or full wipe this rom, gps and mobiledata will not be active. Like it is set somehow by default.
I really do not understand much of the subject if I deactivate for example Sync this will remain inactive even if I restart the mobile
* I hope that someone else can help you

But is not after factory reset and setup wizard. GPS, Sync, and mobile data are enabled, I want to change it.
Now you should understand.
Which system file I have to edit to disable quicklaunch toggles button enabled by default after factory reset. Because I'm editing my custom rom
Its propably in SecSetting.apk or SecSettingProvider.apk

The only thing that occurs to me is that you make a backup of these files before returning from the factory, I understand that what you want to do will not be possible with the roms of samsung can with CM if
I found it
SecSettingsProvider\res\values\bools.xml
<bool name="def_airplane_mode_on">false</bool> so if i change it to true, airplane mode is enabled after factory reset. But i cant find mobile data and gps, propably i have to write new..

I think that if the airplane mode is activated, the data and gps are not activated
edit: no, just turn off the data you will have to find the place for GPS
I tried to add new line
<bool name="def_mobile_data">false</bool>
but thats not working
however on strings.xml
<string name="def_location_providers_allowed">gps</string>
if I delete "gps" and leave it empty its working, gps are off by default first succes
But I have not figured out yet how to disable data
Hi to everyone,
since 6.0.1 the SIP Account settings under the phone settings are no longer available. I'm using now stock rom 7.1.1 and my questions is if there is a mod that enables the SIP account settings. My phone is rooted. I tried the Lineage and Bernis ROM,. These settings are still there but these roms have problems with loosing data connection after a few minutes after boot up. Out of this case I'm looking for a solution the enable again the in build sip account settings.
Thanks in advance for any hint
Hi,
so I had some time and I figured out, why the sip account settings are not visible within Xperia Z5C and N 7.1.1.
When I looked through my phone I saw within the oem partition the folder overlay. This folder is used that a developer do not touch the original android files and he is able to store in this place configuration files that overrides the original settings. In this folder are two files stores (of course many more) that are relevant for the SIP settings, These two files I found are: android-res-284.akp and android-res-305.apk.. These files are holding the settings for the SIP menu entries. After I deleted these two files, bingo I have my SIP accounts back and everything is working great.
So if your phone is rooted, boot into TWRP, mount your SD-Card and the OEM and at first make a copy of your complete OEM. Than switch into the OEM folder - go the overlay and delete the two files from above. Reboot your phone and your SIP accounts are back.
I'm using a 5ZC N 7.1.1 with Kernel 5.23 from tobiaswaldvogel and Stock ROM 32.4.A.1.54.
Everything what you are doing - do it at your won risk Of course your phone must be rooted.
