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.
This is essentially the Android version of the Windows Registry Editor. It's 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.setedit android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS". On earlier versions, you can only remove this protection on a rooted device by installing Settings Database Editor to the system partition.

App History & Updates
What's Changed
v2016.07.25
SetEdit now performs all sorting internally instead of relying on your system software. This change is necessary because Android Marshmallow system software is incapable of sorting the Android Marshmallow settings database. With this update, we have now done everything that can be done to establish feature parity between users of the new, poorly implemented and feature limited Marshmallow settings database, and users of previous versions of Android.
