Does anyone know what the root password is when installed with MultiROM? I'd like to access root files with the file manager app. I've tried the default 'ubuntu' and it doesn't work.
Your root password is the same as your device PIN/password. However, the filemanager app does not allow root access yet. You'll have to do that from the terminal app.

Is there a SIMPLE gui apk installer on mac??
I used to use "Droid Explorer" and "Android Commander" on windows.
Any help?
well.. besides just draggin an apk to the sdk card and launching it with a file explorer to install, you can use adb to easily push and install an app from your mac to your computer.
download the android sdk.
open the terminal and navigate to where adb is and
Code:
./adb install <path_to_apk>
easy!

Thanks for your reply. It's the method that I know man, but it's not as easy as double clicking any .apk file and clicking "install" (as in Droid Explorer for windows)
yea its seems that most of the good front ends and guis for the android tools are all made for windows.. ive used a mac the entire time ive had an android phone and i havent seen much osx love in terms of guis (with the exception of some rooting app.)
That's because everything can be done via command prompt

hi I am on a mac running lion. I need a little help please with how to use adb to reinstall all my apk's back to my tel.
I seem to have been reading and reading but can not figure out the code to write in the terminal line.
I have my apps stored on my Desktop, in a folder called. backupapps
( the apps I am backing up are apps i have bought from the market)
I want to install them all at one time
can some one give me the adb code to install all files in my backup folder to my galaxy s2 tel. please
thanks
Plug your phone into the pc, enable USB Storage mode, copy apps to storage card. Use a program like root explorer or es explorer (my personal fav) and install the apps from there. Es Manager and Titanuim backup has nice application backup features. If you really want to use adb: adb install <path to apk> or try the cross platform QTadb application
This might help you
It will allow you to install your APK if you double click it and your phone is connected (debug mode enabled)

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 tried to run Snapchat after installing, it crashes. After all i tried Switch Root and also to delete the liblooksery file, nothing works. Switch Root cannot turn of root i also dont know how i can root Android X86 Again because i have it installed on my notebook in another partition. I also cannot find Superuser in my settings but i have a terminal emulator and if i type su there pops up a window and i can see that Android X86 is running Superuser.
I also tryed App Cloner and set the options to hide that the system is rooted. I Mean the most people talk about Switch Root in 2016 or 2017 and the Snapchat Team is not sleeping.
My Question is there any way to get Snapchat running?
Hi all,
I am looking for a solution to achieve the following, I have a NAS which does not in itself support encryption, I would like to encrypt all the file on it with some sort of application, and then use an explorer app on each android & Windows based device, which will allow me to decrypt the file upon me opening them, what's the best solution, if I was to encrypt the files via Windows with a software of some sort, is there an app for android which, once the decryption key is entered, allows you to browse the files as normal, I currently use solid explorer as a file explorer on my android devices and for NAS access, your help will be much appreciated
Thanks
Use 7zip what is available for both Android and Windows: It allows to encrypt and password-protect files & folders.
