Comments on [ROOT] PrefEdit for Android

★★★★★ It works great! Since I've been rooted I couldn't update Samsung's My Files. With this app I was able to change "avail_app_update from true to false. Opened up "My Files" app and it let me update! This is a wonderful app

★★★★★ This cuts scanning for the right apps folder followed by scanning for the right prefs out of my life which also cuts any need for a few other apps out of it too. Epic. Very useful.

★★☆☆☆ Bollocks app. Still Preferences Manager is the boss. This one corrupted my XML file, also the interface is less comfortable to use. Don't bother with this one...

★★☆☆☆ No stringset
