It is recommended that you try out each of the below-mentioned workarounds and then see which one spells out success. So with that in mind, let’s get started.

Without PC

Benefit: Everything will be carried out on your device, negating the use of a PC.

Drawback: It might be a tad bit complicated when compared with the PC method. Plus it requires an additional app to be installed.
  1. Enable Developer Options by going to Settings > About Phone > Tapping Build Number 7 times.
  2. Then go to Developer Options from Settings > System and enable Wireless Debugging. You’ll get a prompt, tap Allow.
  3. Now download and install Brevent on your device. You’ll now get a prompt, so go to Wireless Debugging, and tap on Pair Device with Pairing Code. Input the same code in the Brevent prompt that had appeared earlier.
  4. The setup is now complete. You may now launch Brevent [make sure it’s saying that Brevent server started successfully].
  5. Now tap on the hamburger menu and select Exec command. You’ll get a prompt, tap OK. Use the following command syntax: settings put table_name flag_name value
  6. For example, let’s add a flag named Droidwin with a value of 50 in the System table. So the command will be: settings put System Droidwin 50
  7. Likewise, adding the example_test flag with a 10 value in the Secure table will have the command as follows: settings put Secure example_test 10
  8. Once you have executed the desired command, launch SetEdit, and you may verify the said flag. It will be added successfully along with the value that you had set in the pre-determined table.

Using PC

Benefit: Quite easy and straightforward.

Drawback: Requiring a PC is its biggest gripe.
  1. Enable Developer Options by going to Settings > About Phone > Tapping Build Number 7 times.
  2. Then go to Developer Options from Settings > System and enable USB Debugging.
  3. Now download and extract Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC.
  4. Then connect your device to PC via USB cable and open Command Prompt inside platform-tools.
  5. Now use the below command syntax to add the desired flag in the device’s database: adb shell settings put table_name flag_name value
  6. For example, let’s add a flag named Droidwin with a value of 50 in the System table. So the command will be: adb shell settings put System Droidwin 50
  7. Likewise, adding the example_test flag with a 10 value in the Secure table will have the command as follows: adb shell settings put Secure example_test 10
  8. Once you have executed the desired command, launch SetEdit, and you may verify the said flag. It will be added successfully along with the value that you had set in the pre-determined table.

As you might have seen, the only difference between the two methods [apart from Wireless and USB Debugging] is the fact that Brefvent automatically sets the adb shell keyword, whereas in the PC method, you’ll have to type it manually.
