About this app

WARNING -- We do not guarantee that problems caused by the improper use of this utility can be fixed, and we are unable to help you with any such problems. We support only this app, not your device's system software. Settings Database Editor (SetEdit) is invaluable if you need it, but if you're not careful you're very likely to mess something up.

By default, for your protection, Android prevents you from modifying the SECURE and GLOBAL tables. If you have Android Jellybean or later, you can remove this protection from an ADB shell using the command "pm grant by4a.setedit22 android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS". On earlier versions, you can only remove this protection on a rooted device by installing SetEdit to the system partition.

Some versions of Android will ask you to "check for update". If Google Play does not offer any updated version, then please ignore this. You have the best version of SetEdit for your device.

Ratings and reviews

This app is in my top 4 list of Most Useful Apps, and is a standard download for every device I own. For it's unmatched utility, it's incredibly simple to use. With just a few taps, I can max out my refresh rate, force 5G connectivity, set external storage as default for app installs, and disable unused device functions. Setedit gives me a great deal of control over my device with it's possibilities for customization. It's free, but the Feature Pack add-on is a must, and is worth the small cost.

Excellent editor! Used it for several years to enable mobile hotspot by changing (or adding the line) in System Table: "tether_entitlement_check_state" from a "1" to a "0" and then Global Table change (or add the line) "tether_dun_required" from a "1" to a "0". Works on LG phones up to at least Android 11. Some phones will go back to a "1" after reboot. Just change it back to a "0". The app works perfectly. Every time. But learn to enable writing/changing in "Global Table". Its easy.

This editor works great, with a very clear and intuitive interface. I am using it on a OnePlus 6 running Android 10 (Oxygen 10.3.0).. Despite a warning appearing on launch saying it may not work, it works fine for what I needed. I got this to fix the notch issue created with the new Android version. Worked like a charm.
