Where is my system folder and files

Unlike my previous galaxy phones, where Samsung conveniently allows access to system files via Settings, there seems to be no such acess on Nexus 7. Where on earth can I access them?? Why Google make this so hard?

Download es file explorer.

Thanks, but can't I do that without using 3rd party apps? Why stock Android doesn't allow viewing system files directly?
So inconvenient

Disable KNOX without rooting your device(get more ram)

i just found that after updating my note 2 (kitkat 4.4 india) i try to disable knox using app manager but i could not.
so today i had to uninstall some apps using touchwiz (main menu settings) i found option to uninstall or disable apps(disabling apps is new for me ) so i go to knox(in ap drawer) and TA DA i did it
i could not post image here(i am new here and i dont know how to do this) so i am attaching a file that is the proof that we can disable that KNOX please give fair comment about image and confirm this
i know that we can not get rid of KNOX yet , but at least we can now disable it and save much much ram that knox used to eat
Thanks!

Good thinking.

Actually the screen shot i was talking about (in the first post) has already been posted.

There would be another way also , After Stock ROM installation Knox will prompt to run or activate and I never confirmed , instead after rooting I run superuser and was notified to disable knox by first run on superuser and the application did it well for me.

I don't see the problem with Knox. When its not activated, it doesn't do a thing, and does not "eat" any ram afaik.

Auto app permission Oxygen 2.1

Hi guys,
Previously I had a oneplus one on cm12 it had auto disable some permissions so whatever apps were installed it will block them however I can't seem to find that on Oxygen OS on oneplus 2.
I will highly appreciate your assistance.

I don't think OOS has this function. You can change app permissions in the settings menu though, but only on a per-app basis.

You need AppOpXposed
Permissions Manager to system level app is only avail on CM based ROM... Or if the dev decide to put it

I take it I might have to root the device for that?

Surely

Anyway to allow globally allow all permissions for all apps?

I trust all my installed apps, is there any way to allow just all permissions for all apps?

So I enabled screen lock pin code on rooted hd8 2017

Having enabled a lockscreen passcode via activity launcher I can't find a way to disable it.
Settings > Security & Privacy just closes on launch
Am I missing something easy here?

This seems to work https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/remove-lockscreen-recovery-t3530008
...except I just did it with a root explorer

I did not know this. If only it were that easy to actually remove the lock screen...well Amazon's anyways.
But install the settings APK I made for the options to appear on the dashboard. https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd...oot-firetabletsettings-apk-rewritten-t3787636

I'm not sure to be honest. It depends if they changed anything significantly. The worst that would happen is it won't work. Just backup your current APK.

Yes, it is that easy, not only on the Fire but on very many Android phones. The point is that you should have TWRP to access those files when you are locked out of the device.

Amazon's lockscreen runs as a system server. Totally separate from Android's. I was talking of disabling it so Android's takes over.
