Can I change some Android settings from the command line?

Question

I would like to activate "USB tethering" from within a bash script, so is there any possibility to run a command line with adb shell to change some Android settings ?

Edit1:

The following command open the needed settings but don't change anything alone :

am start -n com.android.settings/.TetherSettings

I've found TetherSettings action name from

aapt dump xmltree com.android.settings.apk AndroidManifest.xml | less +/ether

Answer 1

There is a pretty bad method using adb shell input tap, Get the coordinates for enable tethering and substitute

adb shell input tap

Or navigate to enable radio using adb shell input keyevent. Just have a look at,

adb shell input

Again this confines to a particular device.

Answer 2

Try the setprop command below:

setprop sys.usb.config rndis,adb
