If you have difficulties with changing anything (renaming or replacing a file) somewhere on the external SD-card that hasn't anything to do with OSMAnd. You might try a different file manager like FX or Total Commander on your Android device. I have never had any problems that OSMAnd uses this new version of favourites.xml nearly immediately after restarting OSMAnd. You might try to clear the cache if OSMAnd before starting it. Helmut P.S. I wish OSMAnd would allow several files of favourites, e.g. in a dedicated subfolder though.
