Hello everybody ,
Untill this morning, I was using Chulri's permanent root (stock OS removed) on my A101IT, but I ran out of space for apps, so I decided to try UrukDroid. I installed it and I really like it.
The standard files explorer is replaced by "File Expert". That's really great, coz I was using it with Chulri's root too. But there's one little problem. I can't seem to write on my Samsung S2 (portable HDD) with File Expert, which I could with the stock file browser. I can access it trough mnt\storage\usb_host, but copying a file to the S2 isn't working. I removed the stock OS and I'm not planning on installing it again, so is there someone who can think of a solution or an app who solves the problem? Or is there someone who has the Chulri-root and can backup the stock file browser (with Titanium Backup) and can send me the apk?
Thanks!
(Sorry if I formulate things wrong, I'm Belgian and my English isn't always great.)
Es file explorer is much beter in my opinion for these situations.
I use it for network explorer and root explorer and it works perfectly.
I installed EZ and now I can copy to the usb_host-folder.
Thanks for the tip. Strange though that it doesn't work with File Expert...
You could also try dual file manager. My favorite daily use file manager.

What's the best file manager with root enabled? (possibly free )
Sent from my MB525
for me is file expert
File Expert does the job for me
I like Astro. It has all the usual tools of any file manager, and it remembers the settings of each folder like windows explorer in PC.
No root mode for both of them or do I need glasses?

Ooops sorry FE doesn't have root access as yet.
You can probably manually give Astro root permissions, but it does not ask for them by itself. Instead, it just states 'insufficient permissions'.
I myself prefer Root Explorer. It's basic, but because of that, not cluttered with features I do not need in a file manager.
I've been using Super Manager.
The free version gives you root explorer capabilities, including R/W.
Some features are locked down unless you pay, such as the ability to directly open/edit files in the root explorer function but a quick'n'dirty workaround is to copy the file in question to the SD card, edit it to your hearts content and paste it back over the original.
Same as above - super manager seems ok

I've just started using super manager as i needed to instal apps to the system/app file and couldn't do it with File Expert. Quite like SM now and it does what i need.
Root explorer is great! I use the paid version for all my tasks, but I will try super manager as it seems to have many followers!
i also use root explorer, try the free version, i went for the paid one. it's very easy too use
I have tried out a couple(ES, FE Astro) but I really like Super Manager after having used it.
The amount of options and tweaks and the free root access combined with a solid ui makes it an easy choice for me.
For those that dont know.
ES File Explorer (free) works just fine with root. Here is a trick. I just stumbled upon it while trying to mess with it.
Settings -> Home Directory
change home directory to be "\" instead of "\sdcard\"...
waaalaa, it's there....i was able to edit a file, didnt try saving it.
give it a shot and let us know..

If you tried saving it, you'd have seen ESFE pop up an error message. Its root capabilities only work on a couple of custom ROMs.
the best file manager is the ADB shell
but super manager is OK too.
rooted
bamf 1.6.3
ok i know this isn't an astro fourm but any advice would be appreciated.
in astro file manager Ver 2.5.2, navigating to /data returns (directory is empty) there are other directories which i expect to have files or sub directs that return the same result. is this a free Vs. pro issue. am i missing something?
i like the app but don't want to upgrade if this is glitch of the app.
additionally there is "busy" icon rotating around in the lower portion of the window whenever i open astro and continues to rotates as busy continuously
thanks
mark
would another app with similar functionality be recommended?
Buy Root Explorer
Sent from my T-Bolt
second root explorer. its well worth the $2 or whatever it costs. astro doesn't show anything because it cant access the rooted portion of your phone, only the sd card
I'm pretty sure I've gotten Astro into the Root of my phone... Maybe I'm imagining things.
BAMF includes an adblock. The free Astro usually has ads on the bottom. You see the busy icon because the ad is never downloaded.
Astro also shows my /data directory as empty. Root Explorer sees everything just fine.

I use root explorer but once when I flashed a Rom it wouldn't install from titanium backup or the market so I had to use Astro and it worked just fine replacing files in the system, I changed the boot animation and the Adobe file to get Hulu to work on my X.

if you could share how thatd be great. farthest ive gotten it is to show / which should be root... but only three folders. two are empty and one is sd card
You need root explorer. Astro rocks for the simple things. Moving files around, creating new folders and emptying your ever full "download" folder into things you want to keep, and deleting things you don't. It will allow you to view pictures, and video directly inside it. And has a nicer look and feel than root explorer. However, it won't get you into that data or system folder like RE will. I use astro for mundane tasks, and RE for it's extraction abilities, and data folder. Both are nice to have.
astro is cool for simply moving files around and exploring files. But if you wanna see whats on your phone, buy root explorer. Its pretty amazing.
But...pair astro and root explorer...then its ok. But you would have to mount r/w with root explorer before using astro...which is a drag.
Hello!
This may sound like a dumb question but how do I search for a document (pdf, doc xls...) which I know is the SD card but I don't remember where exactly?
If use the search feature, even though I remember the file name, it wont find anything, is there a plugin or another app to install to be able to search for files on the phone?
I have an Xperia Mini Pro SK17i
If you do a search in the market for Explorer. Explorer will search both the files on the phone and the files on your memory card. Explorer is a free app. The makers of Explorer also have an app call Root Explorer which has further options for rooted phones. Both are great
Thank you!
But isn't it ironic that a Master of Search like Google didn't put a simple file search feature in his OS? :-/
I use astro file manager, pretty fast
I just downloaded File Expert which is a file explorer and allows you to create an FTP or Web server on the phone to access the file via wifi. Haven't tested yet but seems pretty cool
Here one, why can't the prime (4.03) stock, file manager, can't see the mp3 files,
on a usb hard drive, but file manager HD tablet can. ? ? ?
Is there something that needs to be tick on ? OR, it just lacking ?
Thanks
bump... please
Probably lacking. I don't remember any problems (with system files unhidden) except that it only can open stuff via association, not open and ask "This looks like $MIME, what ya want?"
I can recommend ES file explorer. Its free and has all the options you need.
ES File explorer really sux, fails large file copies if device goes to sleep, freezes the notification of the copy until you restart the app. Also had numerous other issues with it. You already found the only alternative that I have been able to use successfully, HD file manager. ES needs to be updated to allow you to use it full res and better compatibility with ICS.
Hello there.
Maybe someone can help me...
I am on a rooted Galaxy S9+ with Pie
(see attached pic)
My problem:
My stock file explorer can not create any files or folders it seems as it only has permission for reading.
Every other file explorer has no problem.
It's only the stock one.
In my App list, there are all permission set.
So my question:
Does anyone know how to check the -r-w-x permissions for this stock file explorer?
And how to change them?
What can I do?
All other File Explorer works like a charme...
But I need the stock one, because when I want to print to PDF, it only uses the stock one.
A deinstallation and new installation does not help.
Many thanks!!
Push :-/
edit/
After a dirty flash of my ROM and reflash of Firmware everything works like a charme
