I believe, the modded version does not support even though there is option to enable explorer as root in settings, but it does not work. you can check the developers thread which is in the OP & can check with the concern directly about this feature.
Cool

Hi everybody.
I'm come from Vietnam, where the Facebook is now banned.
We need someone to write a program to update the host file in /system/etc/ by just a touch.
Please copy the IP from http://armabloggin.com/2009/07/facebook-dns-block-fix/
to the host file (like AdFree program).
We cannot edit this file by Astro because it read-only. We don't know how to S-OFF our Android.
Thank you so much.
I thought that AdFree is for rooted phones only.
Here's the host file
I've modified the host file for you but I don't think you can get much further until you root your phone, giving yourself access to system/etc/ where the "hosts" file is for replacement.
Remove the .txt extension and replace it with your hosts file in /system/etc/ after rooting.
If your phone cannot be rooted at http://unrevoked.com/ have a look on the sub forum here for your phone.
As previously stated, changing any system file is impossible without root.
Why can't you use a one-click-rooting program? There are plenty around that work for quite a lot of phones. If that doesn't work there will be device specific guides available, unless it's a phone that can't be rooted (is there any?).
Sorry, I've already root the HTC Desire by Unrevoked.com and have RA-recovery.
I mean that I don't have S-OFF in my device.
I also used Astro to copy the host file to SD Card and edited it. But I cannot replace the host file to system/etc/.
So I need you help write a mini-soft like AdFree.
Have you tried using adb to push the hosts file (in recovery) or root explorer? No need to S-OFF.
I think a soft will easy to use for everyone, don't need experiment in adb, root or s-off.
Anyone developer can make it easy?

I think the problem is that you didn't mounted the system partition. Try ES FileExplorer, it can work as root and can mount partitions

Hi,I am vietnamese too,if you can't root your phone you can follow the full instruction on tinhte.vn forum.
I whipped this up for you.
It doesn't look great but it does the job. Put the 'hosts' file on your sdcard (not in any folder) that you want to move and rename it 'hosts.txt'. Then run the app and press the button. You'll probably need to reboot afterwards.
Enjoy.
This doesn't back up the hosts file on your phone so you may want to do that manually.

Thank you so much.

Dear Meltus,
Firstly, I thank you very much to write this apk for me. You're so kind.
But it's maybe something wrong!
I install your apk, put the hosts.txt in SDCard (in the root, not in any folder).
Then run the app and press the button, reboot afterwards.
I used Astro to view the hosts file. But this file is error. It has 0 byte and can be read.
Please fix it. Thank you so much, again.
P/S: Maybe you make an options to chose folder of hosts file.
Further, you can develop this apk to change any file of system by chose the source and destiny paths.
Ok..Here it is flashable "ES Explorer". Might be useful for someone else also

I've never used it but why not try es file explorer? It claims to have a root explorer included.
I need flash able zip...some roms does not include any file manager.. like aokp

You could always download one from the market.
Or use 7-zip to open another ROM.zip, system/app and pull it out. Then use 7-zip again to unzip AOKP, put the file manager into system/app, rezip it and then flash it.
File managers are freely available. Is there a reason why you can't get one from the market. No SIM or WIFI access, maybe?
thank you
OP-thank you.
Many timse now I have flashed on the run. Some times I am on limited data or in a no coverage area. And then the times I don't want to install gapps.... yes... this is very useful.
@woodrube- thanks for the tip on the 7zip trick... I don't know why but I never thought about that. I extract stuff like that all the time... I feel stupid not thinking of that. That will be most use full next time I pan fry bacon. thank you. :highfive:
Xplore is a pretty good file manager. Its user interface us really great for copying files and stuff

The easiest way is to open a rom zip file with 7zip and simply drag your favorite file manager to to /system/app/ folder.
Or you can use this premade flashable zip file and put in your own apks to flash: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572962

i found this quite helpful. i use wifi to connect to the market and having a file explorer from the get-go helps me enter my wifi credentials through a text file vs having to manually enter ridiculously complicated passwords by hand. not to mention my google account credentials. thanks
does this works on every phone?
Nope, just on Android phones
i was looking every where for this. hope works. ty
big thanks.worked perfect on my s advance (aicp rom,4.4)

I recently installed com.sonyericsson.album_5.4.A.0.22.apk, but like a noob I didn't read the description before hand and the apk file is actually only for Xperia Z2 System/Media/App ] Apks and Odex and Jar files for Z1
The apk installed as normal, however I can't find the application in my app drawer and using root explorer the album apk is not showing in system/app system/private app or any other location.
The problem is that I am not able to install the correct version as the wrong apk has to be removed somehow first, when I try to restore the version that used to work from titanium backup - it just hangs at restoring and never restores successfully. Trying to restore the apk directly from a file manager results in a "not installed" message - I think this is because the wrong apk is still hidden somewhere in my device.
Any suggestions guys? any suggestions will be highly appreciated :good:
Heres the thread from which I found the incorrect apk from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2665174
I've also attached the apk file here.

If you installed it like a normal app (just opened the apk), then look into /data/app.

Thanks for the suggestion, but its not there either - strange.
Then how do you know, that it isn't gone yet?
The system wont allow me to install it again or any other com.sonyericsson.album.apk file, I'll keep checking system directories one by one until I find it.
Flash philz recovery, then download aroma file explorer from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236977 then, boot into recovery, begin to flash aroma file manager. Once the manager loads, navigate to the file you want to delete and do it that way

I'll give this a try thanks bro :highfive:
This patch is multi devices and multi roms, you can use it on any roms, this patch will allow you to install apps/games into your internal storage, not just in system storage. This patch very useful if you like doing flashing/changing rom, you don't have to install apps/games manually, one by one like before, with this, you just flash it in the recovery that you've installed all apps that you always use on previous roms...
How to use it ?
- Download the patch from here
- Extract it : You'll find these folders
> data/app
> META-INF/..../updater.script
> system/app
- If you want to install your apps in internal storage, put your .apk files inside "data/app"
- If you want to install your apps in system storage, put your .apk files inside "system/app"
- Repack the zip, then flash in the recovery
- Don't forget to wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing...
- Enjoy
If you like this patch, don't forget to press THANKS button
Great work bro.... It will be useful for those who like to make a mod or app ported but they posted through root explorer, as an example (rw-r--r--) LOL , I'm sure many who download your work even though no one comments. here as it.
Keep up bro
excellent... I may look into modifying to add "system/priv-app" as an option [emoji106]
update: modding not required as /system includes /system/priv-app from updater.script point of view ~ just had to add a priv-app folder to paste apks into

yes, you can add everything inside system folder, not just app in system/app or system/priv-app, if you had a mods in the other folder(in system/etc for example), just make folder "etc" inside folder system....
cause my script is working for the whole folder in system...

Hey guys, just got my 8 Pro today, patched image and installed root
and confirmed root is working. downloaded oxygen 11 to download folder
and downloaded root explorer and gave it root permission. When I try to move the Oxygen 11 file to root
folder I get " The current file system is ready only. Do you wan to remount as read-write and continue"
I hit yes but then I get copy failed.
Any advice?
Thank you!

Depending on the folder you may not be able to modify system files..
Another chap was trying to edit a file in system, I don't believe you can do this with a conventional root explorer anymore. Should be able to copy it but changing that part of the system is not allowed.
You could make s magisk module to edit something, that should work.

You mean in the folder called sdcard.
That's where its meant to be..
You do not need to be rooted to install from local storage infact is best if you aren't.

I have a guide you can follow in the guides section.
Sounds like your trying to put it in a System folder? You should Move the downloaded file to your Internal Storage (root directory)...
