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.
Is there any other ways i can get root required apps to work other than supersu which won't fetch the binaries at all?
It's nvidia shield portable android 5.1
And i used this guide

Hi there I show some video on youtube that install android in virtual box but I want to know how do I root this so that I have root access as their no answer that I can see.
Is there a common method for rooting android virtual device (avd) currently, I have tried SuperSU but it doesn't seem to work. e.g. I would like to root android 9.0.
Is there a way to root Samsung android 9 without the user of a computer software?
