@Olivier, Today I tested it, I use 'adb shell' to enter shell. I made the dirs in .config and .local, and set it as duckduckgo as search engine, after that I change the owner and permission of directory and files. Then I reboot my Nexus 4, and open browser, input "haha" at address bar, found it still use google.com as default engine, could you help me to find the reason? Thanks!
