reset all system settings without factory reset (without delete all data)

because my device is continuously update since Android 14 -> 15 and then a week ago I decided update to Android 16

but I facing bug with Material 3 Expressive theme, that is come from Secure Table "theme_customization_overlay_packages" I delete that table+value and my Material 3 Expressive back fine, and work again.

but my question is, is that safe if i delete .xml file inside /data/system/users/0/ for reset all my settings?

  • settings_system.xml
  • settings_secure.xml
  • settings_global.xml

if i delete that file and reboot make my device bootloop or safe? is that file rebuilt again after i delete and reboot?

because reset no have option for "reset all system settings" only, without losing data.

Thank You

reset system without factory reset (delete all data)

because my device is continuously update since LineageOS 21.0 -> 22.0, 22.2, 23.0 and then a week ago I decided update to 23.2

but I facing bug with Material 3 Expressive theme, that is come from Secure Table "theme_customization_overlay_packages" I delete that table+value and my Material 3 Expressive back fine, and work again.

but my question is, is that safe if i delete .xml file inside /data/system/users/0/ for reset all my settings?

because reset no have option for "reset all system settings" only, without losing data.

for now my solution is "adb shell pm clear"

>adb shell pm list packages -s | cut -d: -f2 > /storage/emulated/0/system.txt

>adb shell "while read -r pkg; do pm clear \"\$pkg\"; done < /storage/emulated/0/system.txt"

Chromium 148.0.7778.0 is support add custom search engine from source, and active by default. (screenshoot 2)

and latest Brave Nightly have this feature too, but in brave need first activate chrome://flags/#brave-custom-search-engines (screenshoot 1)

finally i can add my Яндекс (yandex) search engine.
