Guys, I have a hard rooted phone, I have adb access, and even root access from the android commander. I can Push files. Even uninstall system files from the Commander. However, I dont have SuperUser/Busybox or any such app on my devce. Rootchecker says I dnt have root access on my device, Can I still be able to Swap my memory, to have a greater Ram/Internal Memory? Please Help me

Rather than using Root Explorer, I would like to have full root access to the file system via USB, so I can do my file management through the PC.
Is this possible?
You could try Droid Explorer, I haven't been able to yet since it started giving me low memory errors on startup, but it might work for the Atrix.
Ideally, I would want to use my own file manager. I guess that's not really a viable choice at the moment, I take it?
I was wondering if anybody was able to get android commander to have root access to their View. I can get to root in an adb shell by opening the superuser app so that it can ask for permission. But this didn't work with android commander. I like using that program because it is easier to move files back and forth for me.
Hey Guys,
Would it be possible to give Samsung's stock app "My Files" root access through su or perhaps modifying the code? I purchased root explorer but to be completely honest like the feel of the original app.
No.
Ability to access root must be built into the application. There are only a few that have it. Root Explorer is by far the most popular and most used.
Isn't android based on linux, and don't applications run like programs? So in theory couldn't you use a sudo or su like command that would give the program full rights?
I know it's got to be possible given the environment that it's running in and I feel like it would be relatively rudimentary.
With root access you can use android terminal emulator and the su command to get root access. Or you can use Android Debug Bridge (adb) from a Windows, Mac or linux computer. Since you are new to android, perhaps you should do some searching and reading so you can gain some general knowledge. In the guides linked in my signature you can find some directions for using adb and terminal emulator.
But still, installed applications will only function the way they are programed, and MyFiles does not have root access.
Thanks for your help, i'll look into adb. Inevitably I want to start developing on the kernel level but thought this would be a good place to start.
Have you tried ES File Explorer? It is free and has root access (must be enabled within app settings).
I also was not a fan of Root Explorer.
Hi!
I´m still using CM7 alpha2 since it seems that it onlys uses MTP to copy files and I ´m using a Mac OSX.
The thing is recently I tried to download an app that requires root access, but after installing I cannot use it.
Then I tried to use the isntalled apps that require root access and noe of them work.
I tried to find a thread that coud help me but so far no luck.
Can someboy explain please how to regain root access in my Touchpad?
By the way I have seen threads of other devices where the answer involve something terminal commands started with adb shell.
I use the terminal and bash all the time but I don´t know if I need to download/install some additional software?
Thanks!
sounds like there is something wrong with the superuser app.
Anyway the ICS roms use MTP for file transfer.
i don't think the touchpad needed root access to my mind it's gotta be the SU app or some sort of file/binary related to it
I have a locked samsung galaxy s5..I have it rooted with usb debugging enableled. I cant remember the PIN as its an old phone. So I dont have access to install anything on the phone.
I use adb ...type SU and I get the prompt. Whats the command line if I want to remove the locksettings.db to a folder called droid on my C: drive.
I also used android commander and root explorer. I cant get get root access on either program. I dont have access to the phone to install insecure adb or busy box.
