Root explorer

Is it possible to you use astro instead of root explorer or what about es launcher?

I regularly use Astro for file management.

Depends what your trying to do... if your just moving stuff around on your sd card astro will work fine but if your trying to access or change /system files you'll need to use a root enabled explorer

+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)

[Q] Unable to Write Files to Nexus 7 Plz Help

Can anyone help me out with this Plz?

This is to stop people unwittingly breaking things.
Only play in the system folder if you know what you're doing.
You'll need a file manager with root privileges, the most popular is probably root explorer.

Thanks for that.
What can I do, as Nexus 7 isn't rooted and I just want to add a few notifications to the System directory, to alert me to various emails?

Rooting is easy and reversible if desired. If rooted, you could use ES File Explorer (free) or Root Explorer (costs, but worth it) to make the notification additions.

Would I still receive Android updates with a routed Nex7?

[Q] What file manager indicated for the Nexus 4?

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.

[Q] ES file explorer or TitaniumBackup can not delete system apps

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.
