Edit APNs?

I can't find any way to change the APN's in the settings. Does anyone know how?
I tried saying "Open APNs" in the voice dial, didn't recognize it.
I couldn't find APNs in Any Cut

I decided to just edit /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
Is this safe?

APN backup & restore from Market.
Backup apns, edit them with a text editor, then delete apns, restore apns

What are you trying to do exactly? as in, why are you trying to change the apn?
And this should be in SAMSUNG FASCINATE - GENERAL, not development...

[Q] Help-a-newbie: installing apps...

Hello,
As mentioned in the subject I am trying to install an application without success, and need some help understanding how to carry out some of the necessary steps...
The app in question is the S5 accuweather application (with the transparency option for the widget), which I have downloaded from these forums (link below)... in the same post as the link to download, the following is stated:
Delete ChnUnifiedDaemon and CMAWeatherPhone2013 from System/app
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
...this might as well be written in Chinese... I did give it a shot though, but didn't get very far - I found the relevant directory with the current weather app installed (i.e. in the system/app directory), but if I try to delete the app which is there it tells me I don't have the permission... ditto for copying in the downloaded app into that directory - I don't have the necessary write permission in the directory...
also, there is an option for activating Full Screen Settings... for this I have to do the change the following value:
SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_SETTINGS_SUPPORT_FULL_SCREEN --> To TRUE
...where do I find this string, and how can I edit it??? do I need a specific app for it?
Thanks in advance for your help

You need to be rooted.

I am rooted, and have flashed a custom ROM (imperium )... and thats about the limit of my capabilities. ...

You need to mount r/w. Any decent file browser can do that.

Well i have es file browser which im sure will do the trick, but i dont know what mounting r/w means... how do i do that?

Mounting r/w gives you the permission to write or modify the system files.
You will have to enable the Root Explorer feature of ES.
Press the menu key to bring up the left panel and then scroll down. You should find the option "Root Explorer". It's off by default. Turn it on. It will ask you for root permission. Grant it and you should be good to go.
Now you should be able to delete and copy the specified files.
But you will have to set the right permission for the copied files.
To change the permission, long press on the apk, press "More" and select "Properties"
There should be a line called "Permission" and next to it something like "rw- r-- r--". This varies, depending on what you selected. "r" means read, "w" is write and some have "x" which means execute.
Those vary depending on the app.
Change the permission of the S5 weather app to the same as the other apps have on the /system/app folder. Most of them have "rwx r-x r-x". So that's probably what you want to change them to.
Then you have to reboot. If everything is set correctly you should have the app installed on your phone. Good luck
As for that string, I don't know where it is. Maybe ask in the thread.

Thanks Reaper.. that was just the answer I was looking for!
...can anyone help me find the string? or at least give me an idea as to where I should be looking and what app I can use to edit whatever file it is I will need to edit?

Missing setting.db G928T

Hello fellows XDA, after updating my G928T to marshmallow, I can't seem to find setting.db under sqlite or even searching the file doesn't come up in /data/data/com.android.providers.setting/databases. Does anyone know where I could find this file or what may happen to it? Thanks all!
Sent from my SM-G928T using XDA-Developers mobile app

I found some details here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...e-settings-how-to-toggle-ringtone-vibration-i
from that page:
"move system settings from db to xml
/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/../settings.db --> /data/system/users/userid/settings_[system|global|secure].xml"
For me it was "/data/system/users/0/settings_system.xml" and I was able to use Root Browser to find and edit it. The file is very long and hard to navigate (i was just using root browsers editor which has no search function) but I was able to add hotspot toggle on my S5 by editing it, just like I used to with the old settings.db

I was able to find it, but after editing and given the right permission also restarted, the setting reset to default and the new changes didn't stick in the new file.

I mean the setting used to be stored in a .db file, but (because samsung changed it i guess) it is now stored in a .xml file. no need to rename anything, just edit the xml.

If i recall correctly there are 2 entries pertaining to the toggles and one seems to overwrite the other on boot. Make sure to change both if anyone is still trying to do this. If that doesn't work then I don't know what I did to make it stick.

You need to modify android.policy.jar

How i modify android.policy.jar and where i found this text reboot options in the file
android.policy.jar

@Madii Mahdy: When @RubbaBand tells you if you don't know what the file is or how to modify it not to ask, there's a reason for it. Editing a system file, even something as trivial as a .jar file, requires a specific knowledge set that you simply do not have. Without that knowledge, you will likely brick your phone, and that's no fun at all.
Now, if you want to learn, there are tutorials on the Internet that can help you, but I hope you will understand that what you're trying to do is advanced stuff that cannot simply be provided in an itemized list. I've personally edited .jar files for an old tablet of mine to enable network location service, but it was a major pain in the backside, and that was only a slightly more complicated edit than what you want to do.

How to change font for rooted MI A1 ?

Hey Guys ,
I know that there are ways to change font for rooted android ,
I tried Fixfont and ifont
However ifont shows error 7 when i change font and fixfont changes the font but only the basic fonts but others as clock , notification panel, status bar, launcher , etc there fonts are not changed any one can solve this issue...
Sorry for bad english

If your phone already rooted, you can change it manually using file explorer.
That's what I do with my phone.
Just navigate to system/fonts and replace all the files listed below to change the font including clock, notification panel, etc. Set the permission to rw-r-r
AndroidClock
DroidSans-Bold
DroidSans
Roboto-Black
Roboto-BlackItalic
Roboto-Bold
Roboto-BoldItalic
Roboto-Italic
Roboto-Light
Roboto-LightItalic
Roboto-Medium
Roboto-MediumItalic
Roboto-Regular
Roboto-Thin
Roboto-ThinItalic
RobotoCondensed-Bold
RobotoCondensed-BoldItalic
RobotoCondensed-Italic
RobotoCondensed-Light
RobotoCondensed-LightItalic
RobotoCondensed-Regular
Backup all your files and fonts first in case of something happens, and make sure the font weight are same before you trying to replace it. (i.e replace Roboto-Bold with Bold font).
I'm not responsible if your device bootloop or softbrick.

Sorry. Can't help you with that. But if bootloop I suggest you flash the stock firmware using MiFlash. Much easy.

I'm not sure. But you can try search from here.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/fonts-flashable-zips-t2964304
Btw, all the previous font that I used doesn't have all the mentioned files. I just make a copy of the files with the same weight and renamed it. For example, Roboto-Bold, DroidSans-Bold, and RobotoCondensed-Bold is all the same files. Only with different name.

for rooted phone please try fonster app its working super fine, ifont throws some error 7. when changing the fonts.
