What is "Privset"?

- Privset is an android app which allows users to change non-changeable device-specific system settings through overlaying android framework with help of android's RRO and OMS systems (please look at the above for detailed info)
It requires ROOT privilege to do that, so your device MUST be *rooted* in order to use the app
It reads the current status of your system settings and allows you to change it


How it works?

- Starting from Android 6.0 Google implemented RRO (runtime-resource-overlays) system into android, what is that? it simply allows changing resources of applications (colors,backgrounds,texts etc.) without touching app itself, if you heard of "Substratum", its an theme engine app which uses the same mechanism to overlay(change) application''s resources so you can change any color,background etc of any app via "Substratum" by installing substratum theme addon apps,
- RRO system basically swaps new resource values with default ones of application
- And starting from Android 8 Oreo, Google improved the RRO system and renamed it to OMS (overlay-management-system) OMS is just superior of RRO, both do the same, overlaying(changing) applciaiton's resources
- In the android, there is an system app called "framework-res.apk", framework-res (framework-resources) as the name implies, contains resources of frameworks, What are these resources? System colors(colors.xml), System texts(strings.xml), System settings (config.xml)
- With the help of RRO and OMS systems we can overlay(change) framework-res app, hence we can change system settings too (config.xml)
- But how can we use RRO and OMS, you basically need to compile overlay app(so you need PC and android studio) carefully and deploy it into phone,

Here the Privset automates all the process for you in a phone itself :)
it reads the current values of the system resources/settings with using android's public APIs (Resources.getSystem())

For more info about RRO and OMS you can google it ("android runtime resource overlay" and "android overlay-manager-system")

******************************
WARNING: Read carefully of each setting and change the value according to it carefully,

- You can also reset your custom settings within app (it simply deletes installed overlay packages(e.g changed system settings)
- Plus i also added flashable packages into app so you can flash it through Recovery mode of your phone if you encounter any problem

----------------------------------------------------

As i explained above, Privset uses OMS and RRO overlaying systems which overlay(change) app's resources without touching the app itself, so dont afraid so much :)
