File explorer crashing - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello i have a problem with all the file explorers i used for my galaxy s4 except root explorer. I have a folder in my sd card that contains music files. Whenever i try to access it file eplorers crash. The same happens with every programm that tries to access that folder (not only file explorers). I deleted the folder, created a new one but the problem still remains...Any solution??

I had cwm made many backups and just changed to twrp but my internal storage is all filled up and I cannot field the previous backups to delete... Any help?
I am having this same problem too and am searching for solution... I have asked all over the forum and also googled but to no avail. Help please....
Need to search harder...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38857026&postcount=18
But my /data folder is empty. I use root explorer and couldn't find anything in /data folder. Was previously looking for WPA_supplicant for my ap list also....
I am currently using root explorer and es explorer v3. ES explorer v3 doesn't have the root settings. I'll download the stable version from play store and try.
Update : I've got it working. This means only es explorer can see CWM backup and wpa_supplicant

Yes it does as I'm using it! Seriously, follow EVERY instruction on my post and look at the pictures
I did some testing on my own. Root explorer works too. Just need to toggle r/w from root location. Data folder populated after that. As for the latest es explorer v3, toggling root explorer will enable data folder contents to be viewed.

cant write to obb

hey, i just bought an SGS4 , and i tried to write something to android/obb folder , and whenever i try to do that it says the device is not connected...
why cant i write to obb ? and there is any way of bypassing it ?
I have the same problem.
My solution is to just download it on your phone and extract it to your obb folder.
Or put the zip/rar on your sd and extract to obb
You'll have to download an unzipper like androzip

What if the file is too large to download on your phone?
Hmm - I guess I'll try the AntTek Explorer / Androzip method.

1. Copy them (not the parent folder) to another file or off device
2. Reboot
3. Copy back to device original folder
4. Reboot

[Q] Manually installing system app, reboot, no .odex

I recently rooted my stock AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 (MF3) and have been implementing a few improvements that I've found on this thread but have run into a strange error twice already when trying to replace an existing system app with a modded version.
With other phones in the past I simply paste an app into system/app and set RW-R-R permissions, then reboot the phone. During the next boot it usually says "android is upgrading 1 of 1" and creates a matching .odex file in the /system/app folder and everything works perfect.
So far I've tried to replace the SecPhone.apk with a version that allows call recording, and the TetheringProvision.apk with one that will let me tether on my AT&T phone. In both instances I reboot, but it never says "upgrading", nor is an .odex file created, and then the app fails to work. With the TetheringProvision.apk I also kept getting a "failed to change permissions" error in ES File Explorer, so I retried with Root Explorer, and SMangager but none of them could change the permission on the apk once it was in the system/app folder (yes /system was mounted R/W). I'm not sure if this is related to the above problem or not.
Has anyone else had a similar issue? I have frozen most of the Samsung bloatware apps and while I've been careful, I suppose I could have accidentally frozen something important, but everything other than these replacement system apps seems to be working perfectly. I thought android automatically checked for new apps on every boot, but apparently not on my phone.
Is there any way to force an app check on boot? Thanks for the help.
So I guess no one else has had a similar issue...

You can not mod a rom that is odexed...period, unless it is made for odex.

For an Odexed system, an Odex file is required to be installed along with the original file. So if a mod is created for an "Odexed" system, it will have a .odex file accompanying it that must be installed also. Installing a deodexed file into an odexed system doesn't work unless the deodexed file is split down into its 2 parts again (original file, plus .odex file)..
This was very helpful. Is there a guide you could recommend to me on how to make an odex file from the modded apk that I have so that I can get these programs working on my S4?

[Solved] 4.4.2 Auto rotation problem

After removing some bloatwares in 4.4.2,some users face auto rotation problem. It is because you remove Samsung Hub. Titanium backup removes lib files for unintalling apk.
Solution :
1. extract libgnustl_shared.so from the attachment zip.
2. Copy and paste to System>>lib and change permission to rw-r--r--
3. Reboot and enjoy!
Sorry for bad english.
Strange because I had the issue since moving to official Kitkat. After some research, I found and did what that post says :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50099965&postcount=9
It fixed the issue, but every few days, screen rotation is not functionning. A simple reboot seem to do the trick, but I don't feel like it's normal.
Any further idea ?
Thanks for the information, my rotation is working again. It happened after I removed some system apps, but all is well after restoring the library file.
Can someone please upload the file to this thread please and tell me where I can find the system file?
Removed Samsung hub via Titanium backup and now my Auto Rotate doesn't work.
PLEASE!!!
Thanks
Download the ScreenRotation.zip from the link in the 2nd comment, extract the library file and copy it to /system/lib with permission 644 (EDIT: rw-r--r--).
hello

this happens only if you remove it completely.

I would think it should be fine to remove the app using something like Root Explorer.
Worked
Worked fine on S4 I9505 4.2.2.
this never happened on 4.3 neither 4.2
this seems to be some update in Hubs then i assume
But it fixed the issue.
The flashable zip didn't work.
So I put it there manually.
Strange though because I've always deleted samsung hub and auto rotation has been working.

i have the same problem. the zip file does not work via CWM.
and unfortunately i can not copy the file manually to system/lib folder because it says that the folder is write protected... any idea?
i am using es file explorer with root permission.
