Setting Actions

Backups, launcher, device settings, help

Setting actions are accessible on the default app settings list page by clicking the () icon.

When selecting Export, a dialog will appear showing all user settings encoded as either Base64 or raw JSON. You can either copy the text in your desired format or save it to a file on your device.

To import your user settings, simply paste the copied text into the Import input field (or load from a file) under the same format you exported with.
