Yes - using adb (if onn is your android device's ip address or dns name):<br>
<br>
adb connect onn<br>
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037<br>
* daemon started successfully<br>
connected to onn:5555<br>
$ adb shell<br>
sti6140d360:/ $ run-as org.mythtv.mythfrontend<br>
sti6140d360:/data/data/org.mythtv.mythfrontend $ cd files<br>

Then select on the screen and copy the configuration data, paste it into <br>
a text editor.<br>
<br>
Make changes<br>
<br>
copy to clipboard again<br>
<br>
cat > config.xml<br>
<br>
Paste the updated data.<br>
<br>
Control-D<br>
exit<br>
exit<br>
<br>
It is a bit of a long way around, because the android version of linux <br>
does not have vi or any other editor, but it works for me.<br>
