is there any way to give stock file manager root access so I can copy/paste .apk, delete some old backups I did from CWM ect.
I know there is a bunch of file managers on the GPlay but i like the smooth and simplicity of the stock one.
thanks
Nope.

All of a sudden I kept getting force closes when trying to open up MMS app. I uninstalled the app using Titanium Backup. I am now trying to install the app again using Astro File Manager and also tried using Appinstaller. I copied the MMS.apk from the original Bonsai 4.0 zip file on my computer to my SD card.
When trying to install .apk with Astro I keep getting application not installed error.
Can someone give me a good MMS.apk I can install and also let me know if I need to install the .apk a different way.
I am running Bonsai 4.0

Do I have to use "root explorer" I used astro explorer and placed the .apk into the system/app and nothing changed. I rebooted the phone and still nothing.
Any other suggestions would greatly help.. I need my text back.
Remember to use the original name of the app
For example if the name if the app is a.apk and you rename it to b.apk it won't work

I did the same thing. Try restoring a backup of only ur mms.apk from titanium. It worked form me to stop the fc's and get my stock mms back. But I still couldn't get a the modded mms to install :-\

Have you tried just flashing one of the mms apks from the transparent collection on this forum? Not sure if you WANT transparent, but I had a similar problem to yours, and I just went with the transparent ones and it worked for me. And I got some pretty colors to boot.

Anytime someone says to use root explorer, i use Super Manager. Its free, has root functions and can mount /system r/w.
I just want the stock SMS black without having to root. Is that possible?

Use search. There are couple ones in this section.

I did search and found several. But none work on my phone. I'm assuming its because I'm not rooted. Thanks for posting that link but it says there's a problem parsing package.

Hi,
Yes you need root,system applications don't install like other applications,they must be "push" directly in system/app folder and have the correct permissions...
Sweet. Didn't know we could install this! Can I just use root explorer to drag it there and install from system/app? Then do I remove the original messaging apk or does it just update over it? Thank you

Hi,
Yes you can use Root Explorer and yes just drag and drop in system/app and don't forget to set the correct permissions like the others apps in system/app...
For security rename your old Mms.apk (like Mms.apk.old or .bak) and keep it or move it in your sdcard,if something is wrong with your new app,delete-it and rename correctly your previous app.
Eventually reboot after and you're good...
Thanks it's beautiful. Now I rebooted but couldn't find any way to fix permissions. Do you mean in clockwork recovery? I'm using es file explorer. Thanks for your help
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Re,
Yes you can set the permissions in recovery in advanced settings if I remember right.
I don't use ES File Explorer but Root Explorer but I think in ES you can change the permissions,no?Like Root Explorer:long press on the app?
At worst you do it in recovery...
EDIT:I just watched ES File Explorer on the Play Store and yes you can change the permissions (it's in the description) so it's like you want...Try in recovery it may avoid errors.
Thanks.... Really didn't wanna root this one

@AbhimanyuAryan - just delete the hosts file in /system/etc (Or rename it to something else to be safe)
Obviously that's after mouting system as r/w - but I guess you should already know that.

Either. I said rename since you could easily rename it back to restore in case something happens (highly unlikely). Just to be safe.
PS: You can do that with Root explorer, yes. Or EZ.

So I'm new to the s3 I successfully rooted and installed cwm. I made a back up of my stock 4.1.2 ROM but when I installed a new ROM my back up went away. On my previous phones in cwm when you wipe data it didn't wipe any backup. Now it did. How can I prevent this from happening and and does anyone please have a 4.1.2 stock t mobile ROM cwm backup!? Would be very much appreciated

What rom did you install? It's probably under /0 folder.

It should be on the root of the internal storage. To prevent this, stick to one version of the os. No one is going to give you their backup/nandroid. Go through the development section, there's a few 4.1.2 stock Roms with root.

It would be under the /0 if op made the backup after flashing and booting up the ROM.

What do you mean stick to one version of os. Does anyone have a backup without logging in to a gmail account. So its completely stock

In my past experience with cwm wiping data always wiped the internal storage.. So one way to prevent it from happening is to make backups to the external sdcard instead of internal.. I don't know how it works now because I've been using twrp for a while now.. And there is stock ROMs in the development section, you can just download one and flash it

Okay I have it some what fixed I found my backups in the ROM manager app. But can't find them through a file manager app. But my back up is in my phone some where but only accessible from ROM manager.

Normally rom backup is secured and will not be wiped
You can download es file explorer and give root permission
Go to /device,- mnt folder - shell folder - you will find cwm folder and in that backup folder containing your all backup
Try it
