Comments on Preferences Manager for Android

★★★★★ Kdkejrhdhek oirhfjdkdkdjdgdhdhfjrkssbsbdjjddjdjdbbshdjfjdjdjd e unlimited access to all of you receive this information to read the help I really thank u gg szchhdssxffffffffgffggghj the right now because you are happy with the end of it will not be in the end of it and skin community e-mail ID is no longer in my dear friends of the future of the end you are happy birthday to all the future please unsubscribe by the help Russia the help Russia the future reference the future of you and skin you
★★★★★ Do everything right. IDK why everybody is crying about the rooting part you can only use the features from the app with root you can do this manually, but you need also root.
★★★★★ I highly recommend this app for the simple reason that (for me anyway) it works well, and is a quick and easy way to customize apps. Confirmed working my rooted devices-Pixel 3a xl (AICP) Galaxy S7 SM-G930V (stock rom) Galaxy S7 SM-G930T (stock rom) Galaxy S8 SM-950U1 (stock rom) LG Optimum L90 D415 (Incipient OS) On the subject of to root or not - it is your responsibility to do research and make the decision that best suits your needs. Hint- XDA Developers is a great place to start.
★★☆☆☆ It says I need to "root" my phone which I've already done. I wanted to use this app, so I could get Snapchat dark mode. Just really disappointing.
★★☆☆☆ This app was completely useless it kept on saying that my device wasn't rooted with the app.

Description by Simon Marquis Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Preferences Manager is an Open Source application that allows you to seamlessly edit application's preferences.

This application requires a rooted phone! Without root access, it can't do anything.

Android provides several options for developers to save application data. The most frequent solution is the Shared Preferences framework. It's a simple way to store private primitive data in key-value pairs. Unfortunately, this method is not very secure... It consists in a simple XML file stored in the private folder, specific to the app. But in the case of a rooted device, theses files can be read, edited and even deleted.

Preferences Manager allows you to edit these preferences in a simple and easy way. You can for instance increase your highscores, modify your progression, or just debug your application preferences.

Disclaimer : I take no responsibility for any fault or damage caused by any procedures within this application. Do only use it if you really know what you are doing. I don't assume any liability if you brick your device or any application. If an application does not work properly anymore, you can clear its data from the Settings app. You may not use the application for any illegal or unauthorized purpose!
