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.
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.

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.

I found that xml, I copied it on my pc, opened in browser but in that xml I couldn't find anything related to mobile data toggling, or notification toggling like this: notification_panel_default_active_app_list. Could you pls tell me how did you manage to add mobbile data toggle using this method? I'm on Sprint N920P. Thanks in advance

I read in the SD-development thread about editing the
"GPS1_CLEANUP_ENABLED=1
HD2 have high current drainage(60mA) in the 0812 build. I noticed in /etc/gps.conf GPS1_CLEANUP_ENABLED was set to 0. After changing the value to 1. Current usage was back to normal 8mA"
I'm currently running the AmericanAndroid SD build and would like to change this value to 1. How do I access this? Using the phone, I went into file manager/etc and found the gps.conf file but how do I edit it? When I plug the phone to my laptop I can only view files from my SD card.
Thanks in advance, and sorry if this is a noob question.
Can anyone help?
During standy the battery drain is a consistent 60-70mA. Nothing is running, background data turned off, no wi-fi, no GPS, no sync.

You need to use a file explorer with root privileges. You can d/l ES File Explorer (or something like it) from the market for free.
When you run it, you'll be prompted to give it root (SU, or superuser) permissions. There's a checkbox in the menu, for you to do this anyway.
Most importantly - since the file system is read only - you'll have to also check the box directly underneath it in the root settings section of the menu to 'Mount File System'. This will make the files writable, so you can save your edits.
In general, you can keep the 'Root Explorer' box checked at all times, but it's not a bad practice to uncheck the Mount File System box when you're done so as to ensure against file changes.
gps.conf is located in the etc directory of the system. The line you want to edit is at the end of the file. When you make your change... don't forget to press the menu button and then press SAVE.
another user had similar problems - so you can take a quick look here...

I have rooted my phone and installed cwm recovery with the loki images built in. I am trying to modify my build.prop file so I can hide my soft keys manually and use lmt pie, but when I'm using Root Explorer (after I've mounted it as r/w) and when I open it with a text editor from RE it says "This file is too I large..." and displays a truncate version. It also won't let me save any edits. What am I doing wrong?

I can do that above with RE, very strange problem you have.
Try a build.prop editor, i used this in the link. It sets correct permissions after editing and so on. Use the pencil icon in the bottom right to edit.

Hi,
Same thing for me with Root Explorer, instead I use build.prop Editor

I got it and tried exactly like you said, and while it does pull it up and my keyboard pulls up and I can feel the haptic feedback, no letters will be inserted in deleted...? Really weird.
Maybe it's related to my root access? TB is showing I'm rooted, but check out my superuser app when I try to update an install new binaries...
Get rid of Superuser and try SuperSu instead. Sometimes the old Superuser has issues on ROMs since ICS.

In data/data/com.android.providers.settings/database you will find settings.db
Open with SQLite Database Browser and go to "Browser Data" tab
Select "System" in table and scroll down until you find this value name: notification_panel_active_app_list
In "value" you will find all the features enabled (Wifi;Location;SilentMode...etc.)

What I did was replace system.apk and system.odex. backed them up and replaced with system.apk grin Maple Leaf ROM.
This showed me to use the sqlite editor method.

Just wanted to share a few CSC features that are tested to work on the S6/S6 edge.
This is not my work, just sharing.
To enable these you will need root, a root explorer and text editor.
Simply navigate to system/csc/Features.xml and add the corresponding line to the end of the file but before the very last few lines that say </feature> and </Samsung>
(if this file does not exist, create the csc folder in system and a txt file within it then change the name to features.xml and add the correct lines and save) if this does not work you can try the same method with Others.XML in the same folder
*Make sure you make backups of the stock files in case there are issues.*
Enable WiFi calling in phone settings:
Code:
<CscFeature_Setting_SupportWifiCall>TRUE</CscFeature_Setting_SupportWifiCall>
Enable native voice call recording(maybe illegal is some countries):
Code:

Enable shutter sound switch in camera settings(maybe illegal is some countries):
Code:
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
Enable camera during call:
Code:
<CscFeature_Camera_EnableCameraDuringCall></CscFeature_Camera_EnableCameraDuringCall>

<CscFeature_Message_EnableScheduledMsgBox>true</CscFeature_Message_EnableScheduledMsgBox>
Enable exit buttons in default browser:
Code:

I Hope this helps someone out,
Big Thanks to this post for the info, there are many more in the original post but these are the only ones I've tried and have worked so far,
and IakobosJ for his help in the wifi calling thread
if anything needs adding let us know and it can be added to this post,
This is dedicated to the hard working XDA community
Thank You All
Theres also some nice tools in the play store -:- Be careful when using these!
Samsung CSC Master
CSC Feature Expert
(I own google so get a big cut of the profit made on these )
I've tried CSC Feature Expert now -and it seems to work well,
Quick tut:
I would backup original CSC folder first
Just search for the option you want to enable,
Select the value ( see pic 1)
in the popup - Input the correct value (see pic 2 - label 1)
(a few examples of values)
' RecordingAllowed ' to enable call recording,
' true ' for shutter sound menu,
' true ' for launcher by alphabet,
' true ' for rotation icon in gallery,
' true ' for support wifi call,
then click save (see pic 2 - label 2)
restart you device
Hope this helps
If only we could root, without tripping Knox.
I don't want to root my phone in fear that Samsung Pay won't work with a tripped Knox.
Nice to see you've put all of this information together
For those on EE you may also want to enable VoLTE. I know it's unlikely to be in anyones area yet, but they are rolling it out across the UK (Very slowly)
Enable VoLTE Support
<CscFeature_RIL_SupportVolte>TRUE</CscFeature_RIL_SupportVolte>
Enable VoLTE
<CscFeature_IMS_EnableVoLTE>true</CscFeature_IMS_EnableVoLTE>
Just a quick note that the commands have to be added before the
</FeatureSet>
</SamsungMobileFeauture> tags at the end of the file.
Tested the Call recording and Shutter sound edits. Worked great.
Lastly if you want to remove that ugly NFC enabled icon in the status bar, delete line
<CscFeature_NFC_StatusBarIconType>DEFAULT</CscFeature_NFC_StatusBarIconType>
from the file and it will hide the icon.

Thats strange as I've added mine after the samsung tags and all is working fine fine on my device.
Have you had problems in the past with doing that?
No. I saw the file header and noticed they're inserting commands between those tags. The original guide also has that listed but I guess it may or may not work.
Also I believe the file may get reset when you enter stock recovery so I'm assuming this should work as a fix.
1. Open the sales_code.dat to find your csc code.
2. Open the folder above with the same code.
3. Navigate to <code>/system/csc and you'll see another others.xml
4. This is most likely the file that gets applied after a factory reset/activation.
5. Make changes to this file as well.
*Make sure you make backups of the stock files in case there are issues.*

You'll have to zip it before you can upload it... or rename others.xml to others.txt
I've attached a basic others.xml with all functions listed in the OP
and an original copy of the EE csc folder that IakobosJ uploaded in the WIFI calling thread
(it would be good if everybody could upload their original csc folders for reference and backups in case someone messes up theirs by accident.)
You can just copy and paste my others.xml into the bottom of your own others.xml(backup yours first)
I've had to do this as XDA's forum system seems to have changed at least one of the lines I've posted, and I've even tried going back and editing and it keeps putting a space in the middle of one of them, so use the upload if your having trouble,
I've deleted all but this file in my csc folder and tested it to make sure there nothing else it depends on - everything is working fine on my device.
But feel free to upload your for us to have a look at
im confused?
i can already do wifi calling and most of these things already without root

Ok, I'm finally on a PC so I had a chance to zip that file and have uploaded it. IDK where I screwed up. I'm rooted, I found the System/CSC/Others file and made the proper edits and then saved it. The original file was automatically backed up. The permissions were the same as the original file. IDK what I did wrong.

I really appreciate the effort but that didn't work either. I used the file you uploaded for me and made sure the permissions were the same and rebooted. None of the mods worked. It's really weird. I'm going to inquire in the Sprint thread to see if anyone can get these to work.
Unrelated do you know which folder I can find the boot sounds and camera sounds? I'm just going to delete them and that will solve part of my problem.

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.

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?
