You just like root manager because it can mount in root modus but i think when it could not do that(i mean root modus), it would not even on the 10th place ... there is one positiv aspect of root manager, when you use dropbox you dont need a secound explorer

i use eFile i woulr recommend it to every one, because of the first page when you open the manager i also used astro, but if you play with the setting in astro you get 3 or 4 new apps in your drawer ;(
I prefer Root Explorer. Only this app can set permissions for system files.

That is the reason why i wrote "Root Explorer (dont vote just becouse of the root)" because you must use this app to edit your root there are no other apps that can do that!
But my question is which is the best File Manger. And i must say i have also Root explorer but i never set the permisions to write(delete) in the root files. and i recommend that to everyone if you delete something wrong you need to restore your whole system so you shold always have a back up before doing such a stupid thing

It has everything you need.
File Expert
File Expert here, mainly due to the ability to serve my files via wireless (http server or ftp server) with one touch
Root Explorer is the most professional and usefulness
but Astro is good...

What's the best file manager with root enabled? (possibly free )
Sent from my MB525
for me is file expert
File Expert does the job for me
I like Astro. It has all the usual tools of any file manager, and it remembers the settings of each folder like windows explorer in PC.
No root mode for both of them or do I need glasses?

Ooops sorry FE doesn't have root access as yet.
You can probably manually give Astro root permissions, but it does not ask for them by itself. Instead, it just states 'insufficient permissions'.
I myself prefer Root Explorer. It's basic, but because of that, not cluttered with features I do not need in a file manager.
I've been using Super Manager.
The free version gives you root explorer capabilities, including R/W.
Some features are locked down unless you pay, such as the ability to directly open/edit files in the root explorer function but a quick'n'dirty workaround is to copy the file in question to the SD card, edit it to your hearts content and paste it back over the original.
Same as above - super manager seems ok

How do you do that? I've z4root installed.

I've just started using super manager as i needed to instal apps to the system/app file and couldn't do it with File Expert. Quite like SM now and it does what i need.
Root explorer is great! I use the paid version for all my tasks, but I will try super manager as it seems to have many followers!
i also use root explorer, try the free version, i went for the paid one. it's very easy too use
I have tried out a couple(ES, FE Astro) but I really like Super Manager after having used it.
The amount of options and tweaks and the free root access combined with a solid ui makes it an easy choice for me.
For those that dont know.
ES File Explorer (free) works just fine with root. Here is a trick. I just stumbled upon it while trying to mess with it.
Settings -> Home Directory
change home directory to be "\" instead of "\sdcard\"...
waaalaa, it's there....i was able to edit a file, didnt try saving it.
give it a shot and let us know..

If you tried saving it, you'd have seen ESFE pop up an error message. Its root capabilities only work on a couple of custom ROMs.
the best file manager is the ADB shell
but super manager is OK too.
Can someone explain how root explorer works with pushing files onto your phone. I'm completely clueless? Thanks in advance

root explorer u need paid version that lets u mount system as read write free version doesent do that anymore , reason for read write is u can override system files . if you just try to copy file without read write it wont let you untl u give permission to overwrite the file "R/W" (LETS SAY U WANT TO REPLACE FRAMEWORK , WITHOUT R/W U CANT JUST LIKE IN WINDOWS U CANT MODIFY FILES THAT ARE MARKED AS READ ONLY )

It's basically a copy/paste procedure, everyone uses Root Explorer to do this since it is the most common and easy to use app, you can do the same with other apps but it's more complicated and sometimes wont mount internal sdcard as R/W properly.

I'm using the nightly build (2012-04-05) of CyanogenMod 9 and I wanted to know if it is possible to turn of the shutter sound when focusing or taking a picture?
The only way I found to turn off the shutter sound is to put the ringtone and notification volume to silent. Is there another way?
In theory, you could possibly create silent tone, rename it what shutter sound file is on the phone & swap the files. But I'm not sure if the is possible.
An easy solution that I know works is to find another camera app that allows you to disable the sound. Camera ZOOM works for that. There may be others
It is illegal in some locations. No I'm not doing creep shots . I just find it annoying. Seems like a novelty on a digital camera

ES does find it. There are two options for browsing as root you have to enable. One is to allow root privileges and the other is to enable actually browsing /system folders. And then a third option to mount /system as writeable.
I'm not a huge fan of ES though..missing some features I like in Root Explorer. Root Browser looks promising though as well. Nice find.

I have no problem with using ES File Explorer accessing any root directory.
I was looking at Solid Explorer recommended earlier in the thread when I came across X-plore. I downloaded it and I'm quite impressed.

Hi, first I used the search but it return no results.
I updated my Xperia Ray to ICS yesterday, then rooted it.
Now I want to remove some of the built in wallpapers like "a_tree_palms" and others ugly ones located in system/etc/customization/content/ [etc...]. After trying to set permission to read/write (using FX Explorer with the root permission addon) I wasn't able to delete them, in fact they seems to be recreated the next second after deleted !
How can I remove them permanently, what kind of permission I need, I'm careful with that because of a bootloop last time I changed permission to system files so I ask before now...
Thanks for your help.
Edit : what a noob I am ! Solved problem, thanks for helping me...
How did you do it? trying to do it on my tablet.

Try another explorer such as root explorer or ES file explorer. Just for ES you will have to go to settings and activate root explorer and mount system as r/w

Yeh I have got both root explorer and es explorer. but where abouts is the files saved?
Thanks
:fingers-crossed: Seriously I wanna remove those stock wallpapers and live wallpapers... They suck!! :silly:
total commander also has root capabilities. for live wallpapers you can just remove the .apk in the system/app folder
Hi
I have always used root browser to manage my files in sdcard and root directory. Lately the app is getting a little "incompatible" with 4.4+. The Dev have also not updated for over a year.
I have tried es file manager: too complicated. Too many features. A mess compared to root browser.
Root explorer: almost the same as root browser, but lacks some stuffs.
I'm looking for a new file manager with good root support and easy use as root browser. A new ui.
Any suggestions ?
FX File Manager.
Astro File Manager
Total Commander

Ty, for the suggestions, but those are good for regular files like pics and docs.
I'm looking for more unzip, system edit, permissions level
Try X-plore File Manager as it grants root access to nutshell. By the way FX File Manager also supports Root Access to your system. I used to love Root Browser...!

Nope, too clumsy to use.

Still at an early stage though.
Otherwise you should give a try to Solid Explorer.

Hi, yes. I actually installed this one before I saw your post. I liked it pretty good since it shows the permissions on the file list.
Yes, its early, since a few ui is unthemed/misplaced.
Thanks for the help. I thing amaze will do the thing! ?
