Just now ES Explorer File Manager 3.0.0 got updated. Seems the look and feel is simply stolen from Astro but in different skyblue color theme. Now we can directly select External_SD from menu.
Settings and Root Explorer settings are different. Was bit confused by new look, but now seems ok.
Just give your feedback.

I havnt used ES for a while. I really like this new UI, nice and fluid. Plus the blue looks good on Android 4.0+. I like the download manager, and if I download something through Chrome, it gives me the option to use ES downloader. This may already have been a feature though
i found there is a bug
few days ago , i want to move a file to another folder with a notification which shows that the moving is success , but i can't find the file . it seems the file is disappeared .

Can I set RW / and /system pernamently? Every restart settings are going default and I have no permissions. I have to set it manually every time. There was no issues in previous version and no problem in other explorers. Newest PACMAN ROM 4.2.2.

Same here. I just copy/paste and delete the old file.
ES File Manager is the best Android File manager ive used. Fast, smooth and simple.
I really like the new update.
I noticed tonight along with update came a new share option. ES lan share or something.
Does anyone know to set it up yet?
It is very convenient to transfer file from pc to my phone via wifi

You can follow these simple steps to change the original stock boot animation into something amazing.
I am using Root Explorer, which is a paid app in order to do this. If a free app can be used to do this process, please let me know!
Ummm...I posted this before in the G2 section, but GScript lite and the line
Dd if=/mnt/sdcard/splash.IMG of=/dev/block/mmcblk0pl9
Reboot
As a custom script with SU priveleges works fine for me. Just copy the IMG
file into sdcard root and execute the script. Works on my vision and TP. All free, just a wee bit of typing, and keeping a close eye on auto-correct.
Need to find the splash image location next.

I've been instructed by many people that ES File Explorer will provide the same functionality as Root Explorer as long as you grant root permission and mount the system. I tested this and they are correct. ES File Explorer is free from the market.

Perfect, thanks.
So i have finally rooted my phone through CF Auto root method, and im happy i can access anything on the phone.
first thing i wanted to do is get rid of the samsung Keyboard, as it got stuck to being default after every restart.
So got into /system/apps/samsungIME.apk and removed it. I use ES file explorer with root access.
Job done, now i have the smart keyboard pro on and happy with it
Lets say i want to reinstall the SamsungIME.apk
reinstalling it is not a go im afraid. If i try to reinstall it from my ext.Sdcard, it says installation failed
If i copy and paste it in the same folder, it says: parsing error, unable to extract or something.
So my question following quite a bit of search is : in general, when trying to reinstall samsung apps, will this occur all the time?
Do i have to do something in addition to get it to work?
i saw someone mention in a different thread (I9100 i think) about chaning something in the build prop which i couldnt find anyway, and others talking about permissions
With ESfile explorer, i havent found the 'permissions' aspect of things, as all i have to do is allow ES to enter the root explorer through SU and then i dont get any other question about allowing permsissions to save/install and application.
many thanks and please excuse me if my questions are very childish for experiences users, as this is the first time i have entered this field!

Reinstalling ANY SYSTEM APK would mean that you would have to push it to the system. Here is a YouTube video on how to do it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJGbiSkom9M

Looking at the video, es file explorer does something similar, but it hasnr worked. Does this mean I have to buy the root explorer software?
Edit: I just downloaded root explorer and saved the apk according to the info. Keyboard hasn't installed though. I wonder if I have to tranfer the obex file as well
Edit 2: transfered the obex file as well, still didn't install. I can see the apk in there but its not installing.
And to finish this, I did excactly the same with the obex file and it worked. My samsung keyboard is back so again
MANY THANKS!

It's a root feature isn't it? Try using Root Browser Lite or something that has root access. Not sure if ES does.

I thought he said "custom ringtone" which should be in the user /sdcard/media/ringtones directory.
I don't why he couldn't delete it.
He only wants to use the custom ones. He wants to get rid of the stock ones. Adding a no media would work too.

I must be doing something wrong, can't figure this out. Even the instructions on here and videos online I find seem to be for older version of ES File b/c it looks nothing like mine. They say to go to settings, check off root explorer and check mount file systems.... there's no settings like that in my settings.
There's another option on mine through "fast access" where you click root explorer and gives you options like one key install, mount r/w etc. But not sure, see what you guys say before I play around with it lol.

They revamped all the menus, I had to play around with it but you need to click on the mount r/w and a su request will pop up, then click OK to all the things you want as r/w. I was able to delete some of the files after I did all that.

If you indeed are using ES File Explorer then there must be a setting for that, regardless which version.
I'm using it from v1 to v2 and recently v3.
It's there, look for it.

ES file explorer isn't mounting system as writeable. Can't copy any file to system or change any files within system using the apps root explorer. Anyone else have this issue? Anyone know a solution?
Please dont suggest using another app. I have tried that and they do work. I just prefer ES.

I had the same issue, and ended up buying Root Explorer. No idea why. I couldn't even find the option to make it writeable like I used to be able to.

thanx for chart
I noticed this too. Has anyone tried previous the version to see if that makes a difference?
Update: I tried the older version and it tries to run a test which fails, resulting in not being able to use that feature. I would assume the same test is failing in the new version.

Not sure, but maybe related to OP's issue: after rooting, using ES File Explorer version 3.0.4 (dl'd from play store), I can't use the built in root explorer. After selecting "Root Explorer" from the menu, after a delay (appoximately 20 seconds) I get the "Sorry, test failed. This feature cannot run on your phone." message in the attached screenshot.
Interestingly, I was able to access ES's root explorer while still on the pre-release kernel, before flashing back to the stock kernel.
The new ES is a little different. Pull up the fast access menu and open the tools tab on the left. from there, tap on root explorer, mount R/W, then change the bubbles to RW. I had to do this to edit my build.prop so I assume this is what you're asking. Hope this helps!

I don't get any options for mount as R/W. I think I've seen that menu before so I know what you're talking about. But it doesn't show up on the S4. At least not for me.

I don't get that menu either. My test fails also.
same here. ES's new update sucks anyway. i've used ES since day one, and with the new update, every single time you wanna do root things you have to mount system....EVERY time. the old one would stay mounted. it's very annoying.
i started using root browser or something..the free one.
I was reading through some other posts on a different thread and I came to the understanding it may have to do with the file system format or kernel. I would test a kernel but not sure if I can easily get back to stock as I don't want to lose functionality. Can anyone else test a different kernel to see if that works?

I ran into this exact same problem with ES File Explorer. I thought it might have to do with using SuperSU, but I haven't been brave enough to downgrade to Superuser.
As with others, I've gotten very comfortable with Root Explorer. I now only use ES to copy between the local file system and Windows shares.

Also confirmed, once.
Now that I go back into the app a second time, it doesn't seem to ask SuperSU for permissions and /data (for example) is empty.
I'm still not 100% convinced I fully understand the new ES Explorer's root paradigm. In the old one I fell in love with, you enabled root with one simple checkbox and you had Root Explorer (kinda; I have both installed). In this latest major update, you have to pick Root from the side menu, after which you're prssented with a list of tools that I don't want/need. To browse as root, do I just hit Back to this helpful, unwanted list and start browsing? This is what I did during the first successful test of this test code, but it won't work a second time.

Guys,
I can't post in the official thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/guide-headphone-speaker-volume-booster-t2819821
But I just wanted to confirm that if you root your device and follow the directions here, I've got confirmed working on the Sprint LS990 variant of this phone. The thread mentions nothing of this on Sprint or the LS990 but I can confirm that it is indeed working.
You'll need to:
1. Have root with SuperSU installed
2. Install Root Browser and 920 Text Editor (Available in market for free)
3. Navigate to system/etc and then mixer_paths.xml
4. Change file permissions to rw-r-r
5. Save to your downloads folder just in case you trash your phone or something
6. Navigate to markers mentioned in thread link above. The LS990 variant will have aforementioned markers listed approximately 15 lines later in the code. Edit them to your liking.
7. Save, reboot, pray not to get caught in limbo.
8. Enjoy having better sound than everyone else with a phone.
Just an FYI anyone attempting this: If you do not edit the permissions correctly when overwriting the file the phone will not boot. It will get stuck at the yellow sprint screen and you will have to preform a reset.
Root browser did not allow me to change permissions correctly and when going quickly I did not notice it when overwriting.
However, second attempt after recovery it worked great.
Thanks for the info TROPhouse
So i havnt edited yet but permissions look right here. Will they change after I edit and save. And then change them back right. I don't wanna get stuck since we have no custom recovery yet.
Did it. It was way worth sweatin through the reboot process. Haha.

What settings did you end up with. I used 68 or 69 on all mine and it's pretty good. Not sure if I want it louder or quieter but it's definitely way better than stock was.

I did 69 which seems perfect to be honest... I mainly hear music at the gym and usually use soundcloud... at 69, I don't even get close to full volume on the phone now. Its perfect
it seems like there are another few steps in this process that aren't being mentioned, like how to save the mixer_paths file because following the instructions and updating the lines I want to update then trying to save with 920 text editor ends with the message that it's a read only system file.
Anyone care to fill in the blanks as to how you get the update to stick?

Don't know if this is too late to help, but...
I don't use 920, but my guess is there's an option somewhere (probably in settings for the app) to switch the file system to read - write mode, instead of read-only. I use the FX app, and that's what I had to do with it. Be sure to set it back to read-only when you're done.

SUCCESS!
So you need to download an app that will mount your system, I used an app called mount/system. You launch it then select Mount r/w. Once you do that you have the needed access to edit the files as listed. I used this guide as well and had success....hope this helps others!
copy the original mixer_paths to your memory by ES file
edit it by notepad++ on windows and put it again in your memory
copy it from internal to your /system
highlight it and set permissions rw r r
move it from /system to /system/etc/
reboot and enjoy
Has anyone tryied playing with bluetooth volume i cant find where to change it any sugestions?
Nice, I haven't had any issues with my phone being too quiet, but I also came from a Verizon G2. Those were noticeably horrible for volume levels, so the G3 is a welcome change.
In regards to all the questions about which app to use for which function:
You could use Root Explorer, or any other file explorer that has root capabilities (ES File Explorer, Total Commander). You do NOT need to use a specific app set and if your file explorer can't mount/unmount the system partition with root permissions, try a new one because that one sucks.
You also should not be downloading three separate apps to accomplish this. It's kind of overkill to have a file explorer, a text editor, and a system partition mounter when any decent file explorer has all three of those built in. I think ROM Toolbox even has all those capabilities in the free version.

Agreed but I downloaded ES File Explorer and several others and I was unable to find the ability to mount as r/w. If the option is in those apps, it's very much hidden so an app to mount your file system then an editor was what I needed and it worked.

ES's current interface does hide a lot, and is in almost every way inferior to the original interface. But the option is there. It's also in FX (File Explorer) which is my root editor of choice.

tried this. guess i messed up. stuck on spark screen. sat and read through the pages here. gotta fix my phone when i get home tonight.
what did you change you volume levels to?
So can those who have successfully made the edits share what volume levels you changed and what are the new numbers? I've made the change to mine and even with my $100 earphones there's distortion at what I feel is a low level. I'm thinking maybe there's a balance among these that I need to achieve?
