+1 for root explorer. Also this thread is kind of pointless.
I use root and astro, each for different purpouses. I generally use astro because it just works. I use root explorer to fiddle around with the os, also unzipping in it does not seem to work and the ui is a bit depressing so that's my main reason for astro. (Root explorer therefore for you is kindof pointless if you don't have a rooted phone)

I rooted my vibrant and would like to delete the bloatware. Most people suggest either using adb or root manager. I however prefer andexplorer which I used on my G1. Andexplorer had root access on my G1 so I could modify system files but for some reason after rooting and installing andexplorer it did not request root access and will not let me delete any apps in the system/app folder. How can I manually give andexplorer root access?

That file manager doesn't appear to go as deep as Root Explorer. Just try re and if it doesn't satisfy, refund it.
Root Explorer is the way to go.
I agree, root explorer works fine in tge vibrant.

I'm trying to copy an apk file from the root of my sdcard and paste it to system/app folder. It's not letting me paste to that folder. I have seen in the past that there is certain things you have to type into terminal emulator? Someone please help me lol. This is driving me nuts.
Thanks

You may want to try root explorer. Don't quote me on this but I don't think astro has root permissions.

Astro can't mount the directory as rw. Root explorer is a couple of bucks and really simple. That or do it over adb.

Yried others, but never got used to to them ...
I like MiFileExplorer_v2.3.7.25 ... :good: (It should be on the Play Store now)
Does anyone else like it more than others?
regards
Root explorer does all I need. Sometimes I use the file manager from rom toolbox, but they're pretty similar.

I mostly use ROOT EXPLORER but sometime because of simply UI than any other explorer apps

Ghost Commander. I've tried everything else but kept going back to that, love the simple but highly customisable UI. My only hope is more versatility in handling compressed archives.
FX Root Explorer. Great Features.

Currently I'm using as Astro file manager, but did not like it.
Is to install the file manager in CM Nexus 4 with Android 4.3 OTA?
Thanks.
I use es file explorer, it's got everything I can think of, I even stream films via it.
Smb,ftp,cloud,LAN ect ect
Also you can directly throw apk's, apps or any file to other es users on the same network.
Es explorer is the way to go. And its a shame that android don't have a file explorer of its own

i use solid explorer the full version ,the best for me
1º ES Explorer
2º ZArchiver
ES File Explorer. As a side note, if your phone is rooted, then you need to enable "Root Explorer" in the settings of ES Explorer to get access and write permission to the entire file system.
I personally like Antek.

Zarchiver is awesome, but I need root and ability to backup APK, it's the only reason I'm still using ES File Explorer.
Hello,
i9500, Stock MJ8, rooted
I just updated to 4.3 MJ8 and want to get rid of some additional system apps.
I run into 2 problems:
1) If I use ES file explorer (Root enabled), I can access the files, but the delete operation fails because "read-only file system", although I can see that read and write is enabled for root. Permissions for the folder are "rwx r-x r-x", the file permissions are "rw- r-- r--". Actually, it shows me that I have read and write permissions on both folder and file but I have no idea how to change them, if necessary.
2) Instead, if I want to delete those system apps with Titanium Backup Pro, I (or better TitaniumBackup) simply does not find them. One example is the system app "InteractiveTutorial.apk". If i enable all filter criteria, TB just does not display, although I can see that it is in the /system/app- folder. This is valid for many other system apps. A support question to TB was not answered.
I checked the search within XDA, but I either get 2900 results or none. TB-website and EStrongs website also didnt help me.
Does anybody of you have a helping hand for me, please?
Kind regards

Thank you. But ES file explorer IS a root explorer
Did you acquire fully root access ? If not,try to flash an Adam kernel(or perseus,up to you).Or maybe you have to update your TB and Es Explorer. Hope it will help u

I know. But root explorer is better and easier when it comes to deleting system apps. I don't think u can delete system apps from es file explorer.

Used another explorer and succeeded. Strange thing: It worked with the old version of ES file explorer but not with the newer 3.x.
Thanks for your help, guys.
