Where can i find a file manager to actually allow editing of the data section?
I want to view and modify the actual files
Some apps don't show anything, others (like linda file manager ) just show the installed apps and give you the ability to remove them...
Thanks
Kris
I use estrongs file manager. You will to set root options in settings.
I use root explorer, does the job its ment to
Astro File Manager here
Don't think it can do as much as the ones listed above, but it's good enough for my day-to-day demands.
hello
i rooted and installed ARHD for my galaxy nexus and it came with ES manager.
its a nice free file explorer and it can show system files and such, i granted it super permissions but i still cant delete that one file that lets me boot into CWM from the fastboot menu, so i have to flash CWM using my computer terminal everytime i want to use it.
any other free apps that can do the same thing ?

ES works fine for me... what file are you trying to delete?
And have you mounted system as read/write in ES Settings?
Hi,
I'm also using ES File Explorer with Android 4.0 SDK on emulator. I need to read the event0 file in /dev/input. When I try to open it with ES Note Editor, I get this error: Failed to open the file (java.io.IOException at com.estrongs.android.pop.app.h.run(Unknown source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:856)). The emulator is rooted, i also tried to enable Root Explorer in ES settings, it failed because this functionality is not supported for my phone? Also the mount file system option in ES settings is disabled.
Can anyone help me? Is the 4.0 platform the problem, should I use an older one? Or is something different the problem?
Thanks.
So I tried installing a ROM for my Galaxy Nexus, and installed it uncorrectly so decided to do a full factory wipe from Clockwork Mod, and since i've done this I decided to install 4.2.1 mmuzzy rom + ZENSeries kernel along with it, I also decided to look at my storage to look at my storage, and it has said I have aprox. 10gb being used, I know the reason as to why (When I did a wipe it also did a backup of everything I had before that wipe apparently) but the problem is, is that I can't access those certain files to delete them, ive tried using ASTRO file viewer, and I just tried using my computer to delete them.
Any tips?
Oh and if anyone wants to know, i'm using the Sprint Galaxy Nexus (toroplus) w/ Android 4.2.1 mmuzzy + ZENSeries Kernel
They should be in the CWM folder.

They should be there, that's where they are stored.
Astro file manager doesn't look beyond the sdcard folder, the clockworkmod folder should be at /data/media, use a root explorer to find it.
Beamed from my Maguro.
I use the latest TWRP Recovery, which has an in-built file manager. It works perfectly fire transferring files from one location to another, deleting files, guilders, etc.

To OP: If you are used to Astro File Manager than I think using ES File Explorer with root permissions is easier for you than root explorer.
Here are the steps if you are interested:
1) Download ES File Explorer from the Play Store and run it.
2) Click on the botton right 3 dots
3) Click settings
4) Scroll down to "Other Settings" and choose "Root settings"
5) Check the first three options "Root Explorer", "Up to Root" and "Mount File System"
Now if you start ES File Explorer then you can go up one level by clicking the "up" icon in the main screen then go to the directory mentioned by Mach3.2 which is /data/media to find the "clockworkmod" folder

Now i'm getting 2 different results, I followed your instructions on using ES Explorer and that's working, but all the files I want to delete are under /sdcard/, ES Explorer show Alarms, Music, Android, etc., the recovery explorer shows mostly the same thing, but it has a folder named "0", and ES Explorer isn't showing that.

Hey sorry for the late reply, the thread helped me.
Thanks for all the help.
Hello guys, I have a problem with File Manager and its dropbox functions.
I went to Settings>General>Cloud>Cloud Accounts>Dropbox and ticked the File Manager options and even rebooted the device, why cannot I see any options to send to Dropbox on File Manager whenever I choose "share" . Since all the options are checked,why shouldn't it appear on the "share" option on File Manager?
Thanks
Edit: H815 V10C EU rooted
I'm on the LS991, rooted, using File Manager version 4.50.9.2. On my version, there's a section for cloud storage near the bottom of the screen. Where it says "Cloud, Manage Account" I had to set up my Dropbox account manually. Have you done this yet?
Although honestly, I use ES File Explorer for most of my file management.
Trying to delete camera_click.ogg file from: system/media/audio/ui to permanently disable the shutter sound on Google camera but when I try to delete that file it won't let me, I get "Permission denied." message and it doesn't delete. I am rooted, running CyanogenMod 13, and using the Zenfone 2 stock File Manager.
Try ES File Explorer and enable Root Explorer on Main Menu > Tools. It works, tested myself renaming the file.
