Do you have root access? If you do download file explorer that will ask for root access and that will give you deeper access into the system files. Try root explorer or es explorer. For es explorer, obtain root access in the app's setting menu.

As mentioned by scream4cheese, you must have root access to even see anything in /data or /system, etc.

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?
When I download and install an app (from the play store for example), I assume it comes down as an APK file which (I assume again) gets deleted.
Is there a way to recreate a .APK file from the installed app so I can save them all somewhere? Some tool maybe?
thanks
Alan
Just look in /data/app you'll find all your user installed apps as apks.

Thanks - do I need to be rooted to access /data /app? when I look in /data with ES File Explorer, it tells me the directory is empty.

Yes /data and subdirectories are only readable by root/system user.

My note 3 is rooted. Can I flash zip files (not ROMs) like the Cerberus zip file?

Cerberus is a security app that lets you remotely, wipe, lock and track your phone as well as remotely take pictures and access call/text logs. There is an option to install it from a zip so it can't be uninstalled by someone that steals the phone.

You don't actually have to flash Cerberus to system/app with a zip file. Just download Cerberus from the Play Store, then use a root browser like Root Explorer to move the apk from data/app to system/app and reboot. Make sure you've set system/app to read-write (R/W in Root Explorer) before you paste the apk there.

Yup. That's how I did it.
Thanks.
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

Ok thanks for the tips, but does anyone know of a link where I can get the apk manager of CM? I really like it.

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.
