Hey!
i have an android phone connected via USB to a PC.
problem is i need to find a way of getting info from it WITHOUT ROOTING!
i need to find out certain user settings/preferences set on the phone currently.
Several such settings like wifi, bluetooth, api version etc are available via the >ADB shell dumpsys command.
However i could locate the GPS settings only in the /data/data/com.android.settings/shared_prefs.xml file. This cant be pulled without rooting as far as i tried. Is there any way to maybe just read this xml file and get the setting?
I am not creating an app..and will mostly be doing this remotely so cant install anything on the phone.
i know the xml/database locations of all variables on a rooted device. Want the same without root permission.
i am totally new to android!
