I have just spent the last 90 minutes trying to find an answer but to no avail...
I have a Windows 7 PC and a rooted Google Pixel 3XL phone running Android 10. When I browse files via MyPhoneExplorer versus using X-Plore (which is an app that uses root permission), the number of files seen is radically different, X-Plore shows MANY more. So, here's the question: What apps/programs do I need to see all of the Android's files from my PC?
Thanks.

Some file explorers are better then also for a rooted device I go with root explorer

Thanks, but... Please provide a specific link, hopefully to Play.Google.com, to the exact app of which you are referencing as 'root explorer' yields too many hits.

If you really want to do it from within PC, not Android device, you do it via ADB
Code:
adb shell "ls /"
jwoegerbauer - Your idea probably works, but (pardon this), it is so last century - a command line interface to see a list of files? Is there, perchance, a MS Windows-like program that I can use?

Just installed it on my laptop with XP SP3 and it just crashes whenever I try to run it......

Forgive me if I misunderstood your intent with that statement, but...
That kind of elitist attitude will only ensure the ultimate demise of what you love. THE community.
You were a n00b once.
Too many noobs in my mind means too many people who don't know what they are doing, or more importantly WHY they are doing it.
While I am relatively new to the android scene, I am certainly not new to *nix, and so I think it is important to understand what you are doing when you customize what is essentially a linux computer with a Java-Based applications platform, and GUI.
It is important to READ before you just go foraging ahead, and this tool makes it much easier for someone who doesn't know what they are doing to do something wrong.
@windows user:
it is using microsoft net framework, so you must install one (download free from microsoft.com) to run application.
@author:
I think this is good idea for whom doesnt how to use adb, or hasnt got enough time to understand adb tool.
Please make it better.
Thanks
Has anyone had an error message:
"Droid Explorer has stopped working
Windows is checking for a solution to this problem..."
I have Windows 7 Home premium x64 with microsoft .NET 4.0 framework. I tried the x64 and x86 versions, get the same error message with both.
Edit: I installed the beta 0.8.7.2 and it seems to be working fine so far.
Edit Edit: I am having a hell of a time getting it to recognize my phone. I'm using a Windows 7 x64 box, Motorola Droid, I have busybox installed, my drivers are all up to date, .NET 4.0 framework, USB Debugging ticked. Is there anything else I have overlooked?
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)

Hi people!
i'm new here.
I have this Panasonic Eluga dL1(EB-3901) android phone. It's version 2.3.5
when I plug the USB into the computer, it does not install any drivers (i'm unsure if it had any in the first place), i googled for the drivers but had not luck there.
thus when i type adb devices i do not see the phone listed. I need logcat to help me debug an application.
side note: I did transfer my developing app to the phone via sdcard but the app crashed. I am not sure if it could be due to my manifest's file minSdkVersion as 10 is already 2.3.3 and 11 is 3.0 and there is no 2.3.5.
Would appreciate any help. Thank you people!
Regards,
Paul
What Windows version do you use? (Assuming you use windows ). Should be installed automatically in Windows 7.
http://mustikamax.com/2012/05/02/how-to-syncsuite-panasonic-eluga-for-pc-windows/
Small question for you: I saw a review of this device, and the camera and gallery app looked awesome. Any chance you could share them?
[Use a file explorer on you phone, go to ROOT\system\apps and copy the camera and gallery app to your user memory and then transfer to pc.] No root needed (read only)
Thanks in advance if this is possible.
yup i am using windows.
Will try you suggestion in a moment.
Btw there is no camera app in /system/apps but there is this app called "Gallery3D". Do you want it? i can't really host it at work. perhaps i can email the app to you?
Regards,
Paul
oh. the suggestion doesn't work. its not exactly what i wanted.
I am looking for the device drivers for Eluga, apparently Windows (am using windows 7 Pro) does not install the drivers automatically and there is no installation along with the phone.
The steps suggested had this area where they needed me to have adb. Which is exactly what I am looking for from the start. I am unable to locate my device when i type "adb devices" and would like to know if anyone has a clue to get it done (i once added some codes into google/usb_driver for my kindle fire to be recognised).
Do let me know if anyone know how to make the Panasonic Eluga recognised by adb.
Thank you people!!!
Regards,
Paul
I'm not a big adb user, so I don't think I can help you with that. Are there any other apps with a camera icon or gallery icon in that folder? I don't need them right now, so take your time.

Hey guys,
I recently switched to a Mac and I am having a hard time performing a simple one way folder to folder sync from my Nexus 5 to Mac. On Windows, I would use a software called SyncToy which allowed me to select the folder(s) from and to which I wanted to sync and it would do the rest of the work. It was simple and elegant.
Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find any similar solution for the Mac even after a lot of Googling. I have tried using the Android File Transfer program. However, if I want to copy from one folder to the other and it finds duplicates, it only gives me the 'Skip' option. Since there is no 'Skip All' option this means I will have to click as many times as there are duplicates.
An program called CheetahSync exists but this program requires a WiFi connection and the sync cannot be performed using USB.
Aside from this topic, what is the directory path of the folders in my phone, when I connect it to my Mac? For example, in Windows the path of any folder in my Nexus 5 would be "Nexus 5/Camera/...".
Any help is appreciated. I am sure there are users out there who are using Android + Mac.
Thanks.
Hi, I'm using a galaxy A03, very similar to A02s. In file managers, I can only move files and put them in data folder, but I cannot delete them nor move them away. After a quick google search I found out that the android 11 storage managerment is called SAF which stands for Storage Access Framework. It doesn't allow me to do the tasks above. So I tried to disable SAF using this command in ADB:
adb shell sm set-isolated-storage off
My phone automatically rebooted, after that the storage turn wierd
Check the picture in this post, you will get what I mean
I just wanna know if anyone know how to disable SAF but still keep access to everything in the home directory.
I have the same phone, but I haven't tried that ADB command. Have you tried restarting both your PC and the phone again, and/or updating the drivers? If it does not work try undoing your changes via adb shell sm set-isolated-storage on.
BTW I see you're still on Windows 7, you might want to upgrade to Windows 10 (and 11 if possible). It's still free but Microsoft doesn't advertise it, you can search around
Oh, I also found this comment on Reddit:
About disabling scoped storage entirely while there is a command for that last time I've tried it on 11 it resulted in both internal and external storages being unable to be mounted

And it's easy to revert the change, the point of the post is to find out the way to disable scoped storage but still keep access to storage

Guys, can we really actually do this? Why don't you just use file manager and give all those permission? Or is it me that too noob to understand for what this is all about?
