Just read about Android Mate. Sounds like it could be the free alternative to Root Manager many people are looking for (I know I am... don't want to purchase Root Manager cause I am not sure if I will be keeping my Vibrant).
The article I read on it claims Android Mate works, although it may take a few attempts.
(For those wondering, I read about Android Mate at hxxp://dottech.org/android/free-app-reviews/17673 <--- I can't post proper link, hence the hxxp, cause I have new account but I assure you that is a legitimate website.)
Root Manager is free, but there is a donate version to give back to the developer for all his hard work.
I'm lost... how is Root Manager free? It says 1.99 euros under marketplace. I am not too sure how this whole donateware thing works, but from what I understand it is just another name to charge for apps? Someone please correct me if I am wrong (noobie here).
I got Root Manager last week
^ dude, come on man....

Where is this free version you speak of? I can't find it on the market. I like to try before I buy.
Come on guys, if you are too cheap to split a couple of euros to the developer, maybe you should stay away from rooting your precious $500 phones
^^ You have a 24 hour window when buying from the market you know?
You guys cant help a developer with an amazing app?
Wrong section.
I am all for paying for good software. I buy Cyan beers and pay for apps. As stated above, just spend the couple bucks.
If your too cheap to buy the app Koush does have functionality in the free version of Rom Manager. It only limits you to a few features. Click on ads to help him out at least.

Free and Paid versions available in market place... search for "ROM Manager"
Oh, nevermind. I was thinking of Root Explorer, not Manager.
I'm not against buying apps I'd actually use. I see no need for Root Explorer yet, was my point of wanting to buy before I try.
I've only had an Android phone for about a month, and I have yet to purchase anything. There's so many apps out there it's hard to know what's worth it and what isn't. Still trying to decide between purchasing App Alarm, or Alarm Clock Plus.
Root Explorer basically allows you to move files around that other file managers do not have access to, thus you can avoid having to use adb/fastboot and typing commands. Just move files around and voila.

Thats ROM Manager, not ROOT Manager.
@People saying "just buy it": As I already mentioned, I don't know if I will be keeping my phone so I don't want to spend the money. Plus, I could "just buy" plenty of apps and rack up a huge bill. Id rather save my budget for apps that don't have free alternatives.
Thanks for the root explorer explanation.
I'm not having much luck with android mate. Have you tried it? I try to delete folders of apps I've uninstalled but they don't get deleted. That and the constant loading bar when trying to view folder contents. Is this working for you? Maybe root explorer would be helpful for me if it serves the same purpose.
I don't mind buying apps and I often give donations to devs who's apps and roms I use. Only trouble is that in many countries payed apps are not yet implied in the market. And here in my country (Netherland) very few people use creditcards and there hard to get (unlike America).
Just give me Paypal ore something similar.
I quite like Super Manager myself. Has ads on it so you can still support the dev.
Have fun with this
Nice! But dammit, I thought the AppStore was working in the UK now? When I try to "purchase" this, I just get told the AppStore isn't available in my region...
Installed. Thanks for the heads up.

Any one else concern about this app and its permissions. It want access to pretty much every thing... Any one have any more information on this? Reading amazon review, there were others who have same concern...
I still got it, so once i have all the information on this app, and i am convince this app not going to do any thing questionable to my device without my knowledge, i will probably install it then.
The way to check the amazon apps. Turn off your wireless launch the app.if it starts looking for internet to run. RUN FROM THIS APP..
Good luck.of course this does not apply to all apps as ssome are for net stuff.
Hope this helps.I check amazon free apps as everyday I get them most all but do not install many. There are over 200 apps in my amazon online thing verybfew installed.

Yup, mostly i do the same. Got alot of app from amazon but havent installed them all. As for the turning off wireless, i do that alot with some apps that i dont trust completely. Also i found out while back, some app actually stored data, that goes to where ever when and if you send some crash report but not restricted to just that. I am sure its for some legit reason, but i makes me question abit more.
I know this app has ability to access Remote file so it need net access, but asking permission to access my messages and stuff. I guess its just the devil in my mind with a pitch fork, stabbing my brain and telling it to question it...
Is it just me or does it seem that amazon store FORCES you to add a credit card to use their service?

STOP SHOPPING FOR SHOES!
Yeah, I DLed it on my wife's Vizio tablet, since she is a prime member anyway(she also likes looking for the cute shoes), and she doesn't seem to be as concerned about the excessive permissions as I am. Personally, I'm a bit sketched out by the whole "reinstall amazon app to make it work" thing, kinda pisses me off. I use Documents to Go at any rate and it works fine for me.
Thank you

Thank you for an alternative download link(how u do continue the good work)
Bit of a newb post for me this one and I know you people probably expect better of me xD.. but what the hell..
FIRSTLY - Yes I know this thread is posted on other phones! However it's not on the Desire so some people may not know ^_^
If you haven't already noticed (it's hard not to!) the Android Market is celebrating it's 10 BILLION downloads, by offering us 10 popular apps each day, for just 10p/10cents (whatever your currency is)
There are 10 new apps each day, and if you have a problem with downloading them just check out this, and you can download them from your PC to your phone!
Might want to highlight the link a bit more
Too bad it's not possible to buy an app for future use.
I wanted to buy Asphalt 6, but I only have a Desire, so it's not possible

i think apps are linked to google account? and you can redownload when you change device if you use your same account..
I got swiftkeyx because I figured it would come in handy one day though I prefer to use swype myself. I actually kind of hoped I could use it on a tablet when I get one then I noticed there is a different tablet version
Spent already $ 0.40 LOL
Oh... i want to buy these apps but i've got no credit card here -_-
Dunno what happened or how this works exactly, but last night i had swiftkey and endomondo for $0.10, and now they are regular price. As I remember, they were not listed on the promotion link in the market on my device, nor on the android market website. Now it's the same thing with awd launcher ex, it's not listed but it's $0.10. Anyone has a clue how this work? Do we know the exact list of apps that are available for $0.10?
they only do 10 apps per day, then the previous day's apps go back to regular price I think..
links on market don't update that quick either. better check the website if u want up to date info

Indeed they only stay 10 cents for 24 hours then it goes to 10 new apps.
My guess is google wears the cost and still pays the dev the normal money they would get

It's 10 different apps every day, so the apps that cost 10p today will go back to normal price tomorrow, and so on and so forth. The website link I sent lists all of the available apps for that day, and I'm pretty sure the new market also has a category from the "main menu" type thing where it displays all the 10p apps.
Yay. Big link for me
I already bought 10 apps.
The reason I was moping was that I can't buy asphalt, because the desire I have isn't supported, so I can't even buy it.
So its not possible to buy for a future tablet, if your current device doesn't support it in the first place.

Hi if you have access to another android device bit more powerful than desire then u can add ur google account on that if its got gb running and download it to that device. For example i also wanted asphalt 6 for my next device so i added my google account to sisters nexus s and bought it on there.

This is the #1 reason I root my phones. I even jailbreaked my iPhone 3G back in the day for the same reason. What does "download hidden" mean? I'm assuming you're using TBU to back up the apk?

No worries y'all. This app has been avail for a long time. I agree, I was very happy to find it to hold me over until custom Roms become available. I feel like I want to dust off Kitchen, but I'm not that talented and I'm sure others are already lightyears ahead of where I'd be starting.
Anyone know if FoxFi works. It doesn't even need root...haven't tried it yet, but it worked on the Nexus.

Ok, so this program does what exactly? It masks to packets with the device identity and responds with the selected device description posing as something else. It should have a "clone your own device" to make sure that att does not get any notice of the device chg......

This does not belong in development.
Development is for kernels, ROMS an mods
Moving this to general
On the Thrill, you can goto connectivity test in hiden menu to disable Entitlement to allow free wifi tethering without root. Can the same be done on the Galaxy S III?
If you are rooted, remove TetheringManager.apk and use a Wifi hotspot to toggle on/off. I use Widgetsoid2.x in the android market.
A word of caution. I've used WiFi Tether For Root User on my Thrill before. The problem is that it allows tethering even with the Entitlement enabled. Because of this, I got a text from AT&T warning me that tethering requires tethering plan. A few days later, I got a letter in the mail stating that tethering requires a tethering plan.
I have since disable Entitlement and deleted the Entitlement APN. Been tethering since without AT&T sending warning text and letter.
Now, does anyone know a guarantee way to tether the S III without AT&T knowing you're tethering.
Does this tethering app eat up phone plan data?

One other thing. If you want to keep my business you better do a much better job supplying an official method of unlocking the boot loader.
The hoops I had to jump through to get the bootloader unlocked were ridiculous. I WILL NOT buy another one of your phones if I cannot easily unlock the bootloder.
I like your phones but wont go through that again.
An easily unlockable bootloader is a must, and I also think EMUI should not try to copy iOS too much, but rather stick closer to AOSP's look and feel.
You're right, huawei makes some great hardware in contrast to software. I was going to get a pixel, but now I am confused if it's worth it since the price is way higher than I expected. I think I'll get a 6p

Idiotic post, really. So what pre-installed apps are not for "cheap basterds"? Is the email app ok? Music player ok? Because all these can be bought for a few bucks.
What would be the difference between pre-installing these apps and pre-installing a decent file manager?
