By default, sed outputs the modified text to the console. To edit the file in-place, Alex uses the -i option:
sed -i 's/old_password/new_password/' config.txt
This command updates the original file config.txt with the new password.
Sometimes resetting the GPS location provider helps: Setedit Command
The Setedit command (short for "Settings Editor") is a command-line interface tool used to read, write, and delete settings in Android’s internal Settings.System, Settings.Secure, and Settings.Global databases. These databases store preference key-value pairs that the Android operating system constantly references.
Historically, third-party apps like SetEdit (by 3C) popularized this functionality, but the true power lies in executing the command via ADB (Android Debug Bridge) or a terminal emulator directly on the device. By default, sed outputs the modified text to the console
sed 's|http://site.com/path|http://new.com|g' file.txt
Developer options limit you to 0.5x, 1x, etc. With Setedit, you can set custom floats: This command updates the original file config
settings put global window_animation_scale 0.25
settings put global transition_animation_scale 0.25
settings put global animator_duration_scale 0.25
setedit requires root access on most production devices. On engineering builds or emulators, it may work without root. Without root, attempting to write returns a permission error (java.lang.SecurityException).
A: You are trying to modify the Secure or Global table without root, or you are using a work profile. For non-root devices, only System table is fully writable via ADB. To write to Global, you usually need root.
