[Q] Any app to access root folders from PC? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Is there any app that lets the user download, upload, change and browse folders (over the network. Not wired) from the PC? Not just the storage, I'm talking all folders including /system/ and /data (so if an app exists it must have superuser privilege).

Looks like not. Time to develop one! Will be free if i finish it!

ADB over wifi, but you obviously need to be familiar with terminal.

QuickSSHd or SSHDroid are what I used before

[working]Google Movies

I was able to rent, and watch a movie on my rooted NC. I followed this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15620050&postcount=175
instead of bin I typed in xbin.

So the takeaway from this is that Google Movies is looking for SU by name and renaming it MU (or just about anything else) gets around the "root" check.
Cool. Does this allow the Movies section in Google Market to show up?
From what I've read, yes it is looking for SU by name. You're root apps no longer work while in MU, just an fyi.
I don't have the new market on my NC any longer. I reverted to the older version. I rented the movie from my DROID with the new market. Opened the google videos app on my NC, linked to my gmail, and the movie was there ready for viewing.

It would be great if someone could make an app to toggle this.

I know it isn't an App (I'll work on that later) but here is a script you can run from a Terminal Emulator.
Just download the script to the root of your SDcard and then run this in Terminal:
Code:
sh /sdcard/googlevideo.sh
It'll Autodetect where SU is and whether you're running the script as Root or not. If you aren't Root it'll inform you whether you need to run "su" or "mu" to get Root. Once Run as Root it'll automatically rename SU as needed.
Download the Script here: http://db.tt/nNy1jCy
I started a topic for the script. If you have any questions ask there.

Access to system files?

So I was doing something and I was in a file browser and thought this was weird..
http://db.tt/JaBFFf6l
Just out of curiosity is that normal? On my old phone before I had root, file managers wouldn't even show system files let alone access to them.

I was able to read system on my original Incredible before I had root, and the same with this phone. I can't modify anything, but I can pull files/apps and save them elsewhere.
/data, on the other hand, is a different story. You have to have root to be able to view or modify anything there.

[Q] Is there a way to make my Note2 appear on my network list in Win7?

I would like to be able to copy and paste files to the SD card of my Note 2 from my computer over my home network. In windows 7, I am able to see other computers in my house and transfer files between them. Is this doable with my Note2? Currently my method is copy files to drop box, then open drop box and export to SD card...
Thanks.
Yes. You can download apps I like samba file sharing or you can use es file explorers lan function to transfer files...

Thanks but I already had es file explorer and am able to access my files on my computers but I wanted to know if it's possible to access my phone files while on my pc without having to connect the usb cable. Thx

Have you tried airdroid
Sent from my SCH-I605 (AKA NOTE 2)
SSHDroidPro and WinSCP. Or just use Samba Filesharing
You could ask a kernel dev to implement CIFS. I've seen it on other phones so it can be done.
Whether you can find one to do it or not is another story.
Sounds like Airdroid is for you.
Man, I realized that the Note 2 won't work with Samba filesharing apps. There is some issue with the wifi interface not being detected. Lame.
SSH and WinSCP may be the only solution I know of that works.

[Q] Where Apps Install to?

So I'm messing around with some methods to put apps on to the sd card but my first step is to find the apps. I'm using simple apps like Jtpack Joyride and Wind-Up knight, but I can't seem to find where the files are located. I found the app and the details using ASTRO but doing a full search in ASTRO and the stock file manager I can't find anything. Any information would be a great help
A lot of apps are under device, look in /sdcard/Android/data. But some apps make other folders to store data in. Like Zedge, its in the above folder but stores data under /sdcard/Zedge.
apps install to /data/app in internal memory, not on sdcard, unless its installes to sdcard, in which case its located in sdcard/androidsecure

Is there any app that can tell me the location of certain files because I'm using Jetpack Joyride as the "guinea pig" but I cant find the "com.halfbrick..." file anywhere on my device
Bueller, bueller? I'm just trying to find out how to find these app files, if someone could even just tell me where jetpack joyride installs to that would be great

Root Explorer navigate network drives - Manual attached

Here's hoping someone knows, cos getting no response from the devs...
Root Explorer can apparently view network folders... Can anyone tell me how? When I connect via VPN I can't see anyway to navigate past root, nor can I see any menu item to enter a pc name / IP address. Stuck.
If no one knows, then recommendations for file explorers that do would be welcome.
Cheers all :thumbup:
Edit: Manual...

I saw someone do it on youtube with ES file explorer. But I'm sure that you need the IP address of the network each time. So I don't think thats the solution you are looking for.
What about this?

Looks like it works out of the box... not sure as they are just screen shots.
I recommend Solid Explorer. Best file explorer out there.

X-plore File Manager is the best imho. Can do ftp and smb network share, even root access. Best of all it's free.
Sent from my C6802 using xda app-developers app
So can Solid Explorer It does FTP, SFTP, SMB/CIFT/WebDav and other cloud services like Dropbox, Box etc. In yo face!
But Solid Explorer is a paid app though, but you get a 14 day trial. It's totally worth the few bucks though.

Many thanks all, I will have a play around. Liking the look of solid.
Edit: just been playing with solid, impressive, even has ftpexplorer. Thanks all for your help. Bye bye root Explorer, it's been emotional.

Ah, good old Speed Software did reply... they sent me a user manual for Root Explorer which I thought may be useful for some people...

Doesn't help though, can't see anyway to connect to network.
Tried and tested "File manager" by Rhythm Software for years now.. It gets the job done in browsing network folders.. (not windows share folders though)
It can also share your device over the network and other droids or PCs can access it.. Has password protection too to prevent unauthorized access over the network..
Press the pluss sign for a new tab, select "Network (SMB) Tab"
Now press "scan" and select the network of your choice.
Was googling for this, found the answer AND what seemed to be a really old unanswered thread on XDA
