Hello everyone,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S22 ULTRA, I installed Android 13 on it last Friday and then I Rooted my phone straight away.
I need to access the DATA folder, see what's in the folder and also make changes there but since switching to Android 13 I'm unable to see what's there inside. My old RootExplorer, SolidExplorer software does not give me access to the DATA folder.
Do you know of other software or do you have other solutions?
Thank you in advance for your assistance
try FX File Explorer with FX File Explorer (Root Add-On) #OR ES file explorer

Hi there,
a little feedback from me, I tried Fx File Explorer, Es File Exlorer and the latest version of MIXplorer and I still encounter the same problem, it puts impossible to move or copy files in the DATA folder since I am Upgraded to Android 13. Do you know of any other software or method that would do things in the DATA folder. Thank you in advance for your help and feedback. Good evening
Wrong message.
Would a truly rooted ADB cover your needs or do you really want to do stuff with fingers on the phone?
Hello, I need to access the DATA folder to transfer software files only because I have a Rooted phone. Do you have a solution, a software to offer me? Thank you in advance and above all have a good day

Hi
I'm getting the new s 3 and I want to install all the same software I currently have on my s 2. Some of the software is no longer available in the play store so I'm trying to find out where the apk files that you download from the play store are downloaded to. So does anybody know the file path... Oh i'm running OS 4 ice cream
If you phone is rooted then you can go into root\data\app and find the apks. And again, if you're rooted then a better way is to just use Titanium Backup. If not rooted then redownload the apps.
Play store will display all the apps you have downloaded, if u r going to use the same Google id. This has helped a lot while changing roms.
Go backup is available in the market, it doesn't require root for backing up apks.
I can't see them in this directory

The folder is actually /data/app. Not root/data/app.
And if you don't have root, I don't think you'll be able to see anything in the folder. (or in the data folder at all, for that matter)
Under /data/app you'll find a few hundred folders, one for each app you have installed. They also may have been moved to the external sdcard if you chose to do so.
The best option, IMO, to have the APK files readily available is to install ES Explorer (free, available at the Play Store), and use to backup all the applications to the external sdcard. This way you can simply get all the ready-to-be-installed APK files from a single location, instead of having to iterate through each of the directories in /data/app (which is a PITA).
I use ES Explorer not only to backup all the APKs to a single location, but also to backup different versions of the same app, because ES Explorer suffixes the name of the APK with its version number.
A lot easier and quite more practical.
BTW, you don't need root to use that feature of ES Explorer.

Try this: Install "Wondershare MobileGo" to PC,after you have installed, connect your SGS2 with WiFi or USB cable to PC and export app. to PC. Then Connect SGS3 with WiFi or USB cable to PC and install the same app from PC to your phone...It is easy to do...

Thanks for all the different methods I ended up use the explorer one.
Didn’t use ES Explorer as I had astro already installed so I used that.
One more function I didn’t know it had
Thanks again
Hello all .Will get the basics out the way
Phone LG G4 H815 Unlocked
OS Android lollipop 5.1
I am having a problem.I can't seem to can't seem to move or copy files using Es file explorer pro to my SD card.It did use to work. After down grading from MM I can't seem to move or copy files
I keep getting a box pop up to please choose the root directory .So I click on select but it just takes me to a pop saying task failed and does not let me choose like it first did when I installed it
I have uninstalled it many times hoping it would work but nothing .
The stock LG file manger lets me move the files but I don't like it.
Thank you for taking time to read this
Hi,
Since ES File Explorer's last update (via Google Play), a weird folder named "dianxin" appeared on my phone's internal memory.
After some researches, I found out:
-Dianxin is a chinese custom rom (which is weird because I have a stock rom and no root)
-ES File Explorer's last version is causing its apparition (some XDA Developpers' member said it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/help/dianxin-folder-t3346358/post66082381#post66082381)
I looked into my father's phone who also use ES File Explorer and that folder was present.
Does anyone has any info about that? I think it's extremely suspicious, plus, that app is used by loads of people (2 millions users).
Should I use another File Manager?
Same here, after installing the latest version of ES File Explorer earlier this morning the dianxin folder appeared, I tried deleting it only to have it reappear hours later, extremely frustrating and suspicious. If you read some of the latest reviews left on the Google Play Store, you'll notice that a few have also spotted this and some have even said that their AV flagged the latest version of ES File Explorer as a threat. I immediately uninstalled ES File Explorer and did a soft factory reset, and haven't seen the folder since, I'm now reluctant to reinstall ES after this, I'll just have to wait for further explanation on this or use a different file manager instead :/ I'm wondering how this even got through the approval process at all, hopefully someone can shed some light on this :/

I also use ES File Explorer and this folder "Dianxin" shows up .. It is suspicious because i search the folder name and the result is it is a chinese custom rom I think it is a malware I delete it and It didnt show up again by now
I've checked into that dianxin folder and I found 2 files: the 1st one is an .0 file but I couldn't open it as other .0 files I've tested.
The 2nd one is named "journal" and I could open it with a text editor:
"libcore.io.DiskLruCache
1
1
1
CLEAN e8dd70db5163eccfbe80f53c786ae2a2980"
Any idea what it could be?
Nexus 6 here, not rooted and stock, latest version of ES Explorer and no dianxin folder on my device.
I have it again on my stock G2 with latest ES, after deleting it yesterday.
Same here dianxin folder present.
I've uninstalled this crap app ES explorer
Go to ES File Explorer settings menu - tap on "Notification Settings" - Uncheck "Notify me of app permissions". And then deleted the Diaxin folder. Reboot your devices.
I've had the same problem ... & I have never set App Notifications on. I simply found an earlier version archived online & installed it. Hopefully ES will fix the problem, but until they do, please don't update.

It was already unchecked and it doesn't prevent from creating the dianxin folder
let it alone..its nothing much..
if u don't feel safe then use other explorers..
Nothing much? It's kind of suspicious and nobody knows what this folder does on the internal memory
I signaled to google, I contacted the developers, I wrote a bad review explaining the situation and I wrote a thread here. I think it's everything I can do. I'll try other file managers till we have an answer

Hmm oke. I found new permissions in latest version about dianxin (attachment) and some other permissions about baidu server..
Im still used ES for now, cause im not sure this is a malware or what.
You can try to used any app for kill that unwanted permissions, if you really want to still using ES.
Just opinion
Thanks, I was trying other file managers when I finally got an answer from the developers:
"Hi, Thanks for your concern. As you may noticed that, in order to keep contact with users, we add message box page at the homepage, and dianxin folder is where cache files store. In the next version, we will move this folder into .estrongs. In case you are interested, dianxin is dessert in Chinese. Greeting from team."
False alarm it seems

I don't think that only using the same name is enough to say the ES team put a malware in their file explorer. But the thing *is* suspicious. What troubles me most is that if they put this folder into .estrong folder, nobody would notice, malware or not. As for me, it's quite the time to uninstall ES file explorer and look for something different, as they are integrating too many useless (for me) features; some of them (like new home-page and new app installation notification) are also annoying.
Hi,
I have some serious information concerning e-file manager but am new here. Although I have visited many times over the last several years, I can't post links yet. Google Citizens Lab,Baidu browser, and there is one short report, but you want the indepth analysis which is ten times longer. Half way down that report is the relevant information on all EStrong products. Look up my profile if you need help.
Edit:
Finally I can post a link to the research on Baidu and also concerning ES File explorer as well as a boat load of other apps using Baidu analytics or ad SDKs. Over 500 apps in playstore had one or more.
https://citizenlab.org/2016/02/privacy-security-issues-baidu-browser/
Read the whole report, and the response from Baidu which is a three page PDF listed in the article.
bye, ES file manager

I am totally with you on this. as a long time ES file manager Pro user, I'm done with them. This little thing is enough to cause me to dump their product, which has been implementing features that detract from my usability. It may seem like nothing much, but I don't need my file browser to contact a Chinese server to tell me what's going on with my files. Nothing much is what Estrongs is going to get from me now.
Also, as an android developer of a major product, you'd think that EStrong would be visible in this forum to address concerns.
So even Es file manager PRO has these annoying features... unbelievable! In these days I'm giving Solid Explorer a try, but there are many other alternative apps, like Fx File Explorer, Cabinet, Amaze, and many other.
New "feature" !!!!!!!!!!
"charging boost" !!!
Hello, folks,
I have a problem with my Nexus 5X (Android 7.1.2). I had rooted it with TWRP and Magisk, until last no problems. After an update to Magisk v18 two days ago, I found the problems.
I had an app that I installed as a system map. It was deleted after the update. If I now want to reinstall it (as in this manual), it won't work. I can create a folder in "system/app" and "system/priv-app" (or copy the APK there), but I can't do anything else. No renaming, no changing of permissions. Also it often happens that I cannot copy the file there because of missing permissions. This only works once after a restart. After a restart the copied file or folder will be deleted again and again.
I tried Solid Explorer, Root Explorer and ES File Manager. Link2SD also fails and cannot create the system app. SU permissions are on for all tested apps.
Does anyone have an idea what I should do? :-/
Regards
XOXO

This is a normal problem for Magisk. To fix it do the following. Open Magisk manager's settings and turn on core only mode then reboot. Do your system stuff add/remove apps, set permissions, etc. Then turn off core only mode (or modules won't work) and reboot once more.

Hello, I'm trying to use ES file manager to move a FakeGPS APK from regular install folders to the system apps.
My phone is Rooted and I can see the root folders inside the app, but when I try and move the file I get permission denied. The FAQ of the fakeGPS app says if that happens to select R/W permissions for the Root Explorer.
But when I open the R/W setting there is no paths.
I'm unsure of what I can do at this point.

Sorry, I don't know. And there's much to much to assume as you didn't provide sufficient information (at least from my point of view). Device? OS/ROM? Version?
On my device and my system setup, I don't have any issues to create a respective folder in priv-app, to move the apk to there, and to grant permissions "755" to the folder and "644" to the apk.

Android 11, with ROM bootloader-coral-c2f2-0.3-7376653 for Pixel 4XL. Permissions for Priv-apps is 755 and I tried the APK perms at 644. Now when I try to "Copy to" Priv-app it tells me "Not enough free space"
If I try to make a folder in Priv-app it tells me "Failed"
Do I need to use TWRP?? I thought with a rooted device I just need, the file manager and Magisk, (Modules in Magisk are Riru, App Systemizer (terminal emulator), Smali Patcher and Universal SafteyNet Fix.)
GPS I'm trying to move as a system app is FakeGPS Joystick & Routes, I'm attempting to make it a system app so I can use it without enabling "Mock Locations", I installed SmaliPatcher with Mock Locations, Mock Providers, Secure Flag, and High Volume Warning, as well as Signature Verification.
@AsCapsule33 Thanks for all these, indeed important, information. As you're on A11 I apologise that I'm unable to assist. I've no experiences with A10 or A11 at all. Long time ago, I made the decision not to follow Google further and I'm still (and will stay) on LOS 16.0, Google-free with µG.

Thanks for the help!!! I found what the issue is, for some reason even though my device is rooted, I cannot edit system files as there "is no space" see screenshot attached.
I'm not sure how I can remove this storage lock, I've just unrooted the device and re-rooted it. Still having the same issues with my system storage.
Not sure if it could help but you can try to resize the system partition in twrp.
Reboot to recovery, advanced wipe, select system then select Repair file system, then Resize.
Good luck.
