No root, you can only use Control UI, as stated by digitalstone. But it will cause UI distraction, since you can't use the app during the automatic control. And you can only change one settting at one time. If the app exposed the setting to tasker/automagic, either by direct plugin or intent broadcast, then we can partially control the setting. Something like starting esFTP, Mixplorer FTP, copying file back-thru PC and etc. Check out at my index, Intent section.
If you have root, then you will have full control of the setting. It still takes time to learn the pattern of the configuration, but you can swap out the configuration at once, much faster than modifying each one. I will use
MiXplorer as example. I don't use Es File Explorer anymore, since they have sold their soul to some shady company.
In MiXplorer, the setting is stored at
/data/data/com.mixplorer/shared_prefs/com.mixplorer_preferences.xml. So we can modify the setting to the extent we want. Copy it in the same folder, add some name to denotes the setting name (kinda like profile). Example com.mixplorer_preferences.xml_
home. Then we modify the setting again to another extent, and name it as com.mixplorer_preferences.xml_
office. Whenever I want the setting of MiXplorer to change according to my location, I simply kill MiXplorer, and use Execute root command to rename the
home version to the original xml. Thus now I have
home setting profile for MiXplorer. When I arrive at
office, Automagic will kill MiXplorer and rename the home version to
_home and rename
office version to original. Thus at office I have the
office version profile. You can have as many as you want, as long as you can modify. But of course root is a must.
