: Contains high-level settings like accessibility configurations, biometric parameters, and location choices.
If you don't have a PC, you can use "Wireless Debugging" to grant permissions directly on your phone using apps like Open your chosen terminal app in split-screen mode alongside your Wireless Debugging settings.
Once the shell is active, type the same command: pm grant by4a.setedit22 android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS Important Safety Warning
: Without the specific WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission, the app is "locked" from making changes to these critical tables.
adb shell pm grant by4a.setedit22 android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS For the F-Droid/GitHub version: setedit does not currently support editing this table
*Note: This carries a high risk of bootloops
The error message "SetEdit does not currently support editing this table"
This workaround is more complex, requires knowledge of the Brevent app, and is generally recommended only for advanced enthusiasts who are familiar with command-line interfaces on Android. However, for those on Android 11 or newer without PC access, it's a very effective alternative.
: On Android 14 , apps targeting older API levels (like SetEdit) face stricter installation and permission hurdles. adb shell pm grant by4a
adb shell pm grant by4a.setedit22 android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
adb shell settings get global window_animation_scale
If you do not have a computer available, you can utilize Android's built-in Wireless Debugging framework alongside a local command terminal app like Brevent or LADB to grant the permission locally.
In the world of Android customization, few tools are as powerful or as feared as setedit . This application, known formally as the "Settings Database Editor," provides users with direct access to the Android operating system’s internal databases. It allows for tweaks and modifications that are otherwise impossible through the standard user interface. However, users attempting to utilize this tool often encounter a frustrating roadblock: the error message "setedit does not currently support editing this table." requires knowledge of the Brevent app
Enter the pairing code provided by your phone's settings into the app. Once connected, run the same command mentioned in Solution 1. Solution 3: Direct ADB Commands (Bypassing SetEdit)
However, many users encounter a frustrating barrier:
setedit is a command-line binary found in many Android debug builds or rooted devices. It allows users to read, insert, or modify key-value pairs in Android’s internal settings tables.
If your device is rooted, you can grant permissions directly through a terminal emulator app (like Termux) by typing su first, though using ADB is often more reliable.
