Hey guys and gals,
I was digging around looking for a solution to the problem:
S5 loses WiFi password, and I was disappointed that it took me 20 minutes to find it.
So, if you have the same issue (or if I do, and I don't remember how I fixed it this time!), here it is in a nutshell:
You'll need to have root access, and a file explorer that can use root access (I used ES file explorer).
Navigate to "device>system>build.prop"
Open the file in your choice of editor, and find the line, "ro.securestorage.support".
It should say =true right now. Change that to =false, exit and save the file.
Reboot the device.
You'll have to enter the WiFi password once more.
Reboot again to verify function, enjoy WiFi auto-connecting.

I need to know HOW to flip 1 bit in a database.
I am trying to tether my Pandigital Supernova to my Samsung Apollo's GPS and have hit a roadblock. The Supernova does not support mock locations out of the box. It seems I need to set ro.allow.mock.location=1 in default.prop and build.prop and MOCK_LOCATION to TRUE in settings.db. The 1st 2 were easy using the text editor in ROM Toolbox but I have no clue how to edit a database. The tools suggester were aShell and aSQLiteManager which I installed but honestly have no idea how to use. Can someone recommend a n00b-friendly way of doing this? I feel like I've just been told "To improve your gas mileage simply install a manual transmission."
I know this is probably resolved by now but this might help somebody else.
Must be root. Use ES File Manager from market. Go into settings and make sure you have it set to browse as root, go up to root, and mount system rw. Then back all the way up to root of the filesystem. If you are seeing folders like "etc" and "system" then you are there. From here use ES's search function and search for "all files" and put settings.db as the file name. When it comes up, note the directory and copy it to your sd card. Download SQLite Manager from market and open the copied settings.db with it. From here just look around and use the "Update Row" context action to edit the entries. When you back out it automatically saves. Copy the settings.db back into your internal memory wherever you found it at. Overwrite when prompted. Reboot. Win.

Using SQLite
1.open settings storage (com.motorola.android.providers.settings)
2.open settings.db
3.settings
4.search for dun_apn_changeable and dun_enable
5.Change both of their values to 1

I have an Atrix 2 running 2.3.6 rooted. (Rooted with SuperOneClick)
I want to enable the Wifi Hotspot feature, I have read several threads on this group, but I do not understand if I download SQlite on my pc and run it or my phone.
I downloaded the program on my phone, but when I open it all I get is a black screen with a box in the upper left corner with a magnifying glass in it, below that I see this "/data/data/com.xuecs.sqlitemanager/databases/defaultdb" The instructions I have read make absolutely no sense to me, the first step says "open settings storage" There is no way to open any thing as far as I can tell. I'm kind of lost here....Can someone help me out?
I want to update to ICS, I get an error, it downloads the file, resets the phone, when the android screen comes up the insallation bar goes about a third of the way then it stops and then it reboots, once its up and running it says "update failed" I have opened SuperOneClick and hit the unroot button, it says it was sucessful and it removes the Superuser app but the ICS OTA update still does not work. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
More detailed instructions for enabling wifi tether can be found at the following link, and I'm also pasting them here in full for anyone else curious. Note that this was the procedure for enabling everything on ICS. I'm not sure whether anything is different on Gingerbread.

Things you will need:
ES File Explorer (free from play store)
aSQLiteManager (free from play store)
1. Launch ES File Explorer and within its settings, grant it full root permissions (near the bottom of settings, go in and check all four checkboxes).
2. From ES File Explorer navigate upward out of your SD card and onto the root of your device, then go into Data/Data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases
3. Copy the "settings.db" file found there over to your SD card
4. Using aSQLiteManager select "Open Database" and pick that settings.db file on your SD card.
5. Select "settings" from the four tables you are presented with
6. Select "Data" from the top button menu
7. You'll see a long list of crap. Hit PgDn until you see line 113 "entitlement_check". Hit Edit and change the value from 1 to 0.
8. While you're here, also go to lines 117 and 118 that start with "dun" and change them both from 0 to 1. This is not necessary for Webtop but will enable wifi hotspot tethering.
9. Exit aSQLiteManager, go back into ES File Explorer and this time copy the modified "settings.db" back into the previous/original folder from Step 2, overwriting the old file.
10. Exit ES File Explorer, reboot your device and Webtop should work as expected.

I figured out what I was doing wrong, I didnt have the File Explorer at first..lol Once I did take care of things and rebooted the phone I kept getting errors that said "The process com.motorola.service.main has stopped unexpectedly" I hit force close and cancel both but the error would keep popping up at random times, plus other errors would pop up random apps running in the background would stop unexpectedly. Then the power button would not lock the screen anymore....The tethering worked though! I ended up doing a factory reset because the errors popped up so often the phone was useless.
I did not touch anything else but Line 150 which was the Entitlement Check line so I have no idea what went wrong.
One other thing, I would like to uprgade to ICS but since my phone is rooted I can't do it OTA, is there a way to manually do it? I remember when I upgraded to 2.3.6 I just put a file on the SD card and installed it, can I do that with ICS 4.0?
Hi all I have decided to create this small change to re-enable the feature only 2 g for all Custom Rom/Rom stocks which don't have this entry in the active settings. The file has been personally tested by me on MaximusHD 10. But I'd appreciate it if you leave a comment indicating which rom you use with edit...
Needed
modified file (DOWNLOAD)
file manager (ES File Explorer; Root Explorer)
five minutes of time
Let's Start
1. Download the file from above and move in the phone's memory
2. Using a file explorer, move the default file in the following location:
Code:
system->customize->ACC
2.1 If it asks you to overwrite say yes
3. Reboot your device and network settings now include the item "ONLY 2G"
Hi, remember that by changing sku_id you might also get inaccurate 4g/lte signal bars.
I made a thread I M7 forums some time ago with all available sku_id's.

It's the same for M8.

Thank you for the tip, I have not had this problem , if it so I will see how to solve it all, thanks again
thanks for tweak, ive been looking for this for ages, and now I know what need to be changed, thanks so much.
-Warning-
This was only tested by me yet, worked like a charm in my SM-G935F from Brazil with
Android MM 6.0.1
Build Number: MMB29K.G935FXXU1BPLB
Do it at your own risk
Well, since I rooted my S7 Edge, I noticed that it's Wi-Fi wasn't working right, it didn't save the networks I had previously connected, and took a lot of time to recognize the networks when you turned on Wi-Fi, and after searching and searching for a while, finally found out how to fix it.
Requirements
- Phone must be rooted.
- Es File Explorer(you can download it on Play Store or download the .apk file)
I used ES File Explorer because it's easy to enable Root Explorer, but you can use any other file explorer if you want(since it enable you to use Root Explorer)
It's a easy process, but you need to be careful because any pass you follow incorrectly can brick your device(I guess).
So once you installed ES File Explorer, open it and click on the menu(upper left side), scroll down and enable the Root Explorer option, then go to your internal storage main folder(" / "), scroll down and enter the system folder, in this folder, you will find a txt archive named "build.prop", backup this archive, open it and tap options then edit.
You will:
1. Find the line "ro.securestorage.support=true";
2. Change true to false;
2. Save in the system folder;
3. Reboot the phone.
PS: If you haven't enabled the Root Explorer option, you will not be able to save the file.
If it don't work, replace the build.prop archive you backed up previously in the system folder.
Nice guide. But it probably won't work on Nougat, you need to replace secure storage libs with ones from Superkernel.

Appreciate you like it!
Yeah, already expected that, but as I said, I only tested it with MM, still waiting for the official release of Nougat for my region.

I want know the KNOX 0*1 how to fix 0*0. or use xposed hide it! let my phone look at no fusing. tks!
Hello,
I recently discovered a way to disable automatically closing apps on Samsung Galaxy devices. This is especially useful for apps such as battery monitoring or fake GPS location apps.
I tested this on my Samsung Galaxy A52 5G, it should work on other models, however I cannot guarantee this. Despite this, it doesn't hurt to try!
First off let's talk a little why this happens. If you have multiple apps open at once, the OS will attempt to close some to free up resource when not currently in use, especially if the apps have not been interacted with for a while since they were last opened. This is normal behaviour, however you may have something like a battery monitoring app (e.g. AccuBattery) that you never want to be terminated. So let's try achieve this.
There's two core parts to this process. You need root for both of these (Magisk).
Part 1
Requirements:
Root file explorer (e.g. Total Commander)
A text file editor (PC is easiest. If you decide to use PC, use a USB transfer cable)
Guide:
On the root file explorer, navigate to /system/etc
Make a copy of floating_feature.xml. Make a second copy to preserve original contents in case things go wrong. If this file doesn't exist, you can't use this method.
Open it in the text editor of your choice (transfer to PC if needed)
Search for this in the file: <SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_DWB_CONFIG_UNSUSPENDABLE_PACKAGE_NAME>
If it doesn't exist, create it like this: <SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_DWB_CONFIG_UNSUSPENDABLE_PACKAGE_NAME> </SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_DWB_CONFIG_UNSUSPENDABLE_PACKAGE_NAME>
Add your app's Package Name inside this tag. For example AccuBattery would be 'com.digibites.accubattery' so the result value would be <SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_DWB_CONFIG_UNSUSPENDABLE_PACKAGE_NAME>com.digibites.accubattery</SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_DWB_CONFIG_UNSUSPENDABLE_PACKAGE_NAME> assuming it didn't already exist. If it does exist, add a semi colon ; to the last entry and append the value to the end
Save the file and use your root file explorer to replace the original floating_feature.xml file
Reboot your phone
Part 2
Requirements:
Magisk
Command line interface with root (e.g. Termux)
Guide:
Download and install the App Systemizer Magisk Module
Reboot your phone
Open your command line interface and enable Superuser mode (in Termux this is 'su')
Enter 'systemize' in your command line interface and follow the instructions to systemize the desired app
Reboot your phone
Summary
You'll need to reapply this process whenever you update your phone software. It's a relatively simple process though. I'll be interested to see how successful this is for others so feel free to provide feedback and findings.
Hope this helps!
