Using Root Explorer or similar app you can long press on it and select "Copy" then go to system/app folder and paste it and reboot. You should be good to go

Sorry..maybe its early in the morning...but this "system app folder" exactly where is that located...i apologize...and thanks in advance?

If you open root explorer and are in the 1st level of folders (top page title is simply '/'), from there scroll to the bottom and hit 'system' (not 'sys') folder, then hit the 'app' folder. There you should copy/paste the .apk, reboot phone and the app will be installed.

O ok...when u said root explorer or similar app...what would be a similar app???

Adao file manager, astro...etc. you need ones that can access root to remount rw. Make sure you remount ro when done.

Down load File Expert its free, then in settings or menu on the apply enable R/W & then when you look at your phone go in to /system/app & move or copy into there using R/W permissions ( make sure your looking in your phone & not into sd/ )

<APP> Post your argument for your favorite file manager!

I've been using it for a long time but still I see people suggesting ES file manager or even Astro. (Not "bad" apps btw) But File Expert is hands down the best file management program I've used for android. Supports root file management, smb, nfs, ftp (and other network shares including clouds) archive management, and bluetooth filesharing. Best of all it is free without ads. Let me know if you enjoy it as much as I do.

Tried it... like root explorer better... probably just because I'm more used to it... might stick with this a little bit to see if it grows on me... hasn't plagued me like es with not mounting rw some of the time so that's a plus....

I just couldn't see this thread and not jump on here to represent Super Manager. Root explorer, APK manager(system too), task killer(system too!), app protector, backup, and way more. And this is the lite version. Go give it a look see!

I've been using "file manager" nothing special. Thanks for the suggestions checking them out now.

Antek explorer ftw. Try it, just once. Zip management is slightly wacky but best file manager imo

Yeah I tried it once. A little too simplistic for me I guess.

Used to be astro for me but that's so bloated and slow now I only use it for .zip files. Now I tend to just use file manager.

Does root explorer do zip files or multi select? I want one that can do both without being slow like astro

Root Explorer does multi-select, but I'm not sure what people are talking about when they mention zip files. I'm guessing it's the same thing I want, and that's the ability to remove things from a zip file without having to unzip and rezip it. Adding them would be nice, but just removing them is what I'm after.
Obvious example would be downloading a ROM to my phone, removing some of the APKs I don't want and flash away without needed to use my PC.
FWIW, I've been a Root Explorer guy for a while now, but I used Super Manager quite a bit a while back. I see they have some pretty neat things now. I may have to buy the full version of it and see how that acts.

Totally agree with you on file expert... the http and ftp servers built in are AWESOME and it can do everything else.

I agree. I've uninstalled it because it's just not the same app it once was. I use Root Explorer because I paid for it.

I have tried:
File expert: ok but not as finger friendly and smooth scrolling as I would want. However lots of nice stuff.
Astro: awesome since day one, however no root mounting and access...
Antek: meh boring ugly
Root explorer: liked it for a week or 2 then started to be unreliable...
My best and favorite is:
File Slick
Best regular and root file explorer with themes and finger friendly and reliable, also free and options to turn off ads!
Get it now!!!
It replaced astro and file expert as well as root explorer and the other file explorers I listed

MIUI file manager. Once I tried it, I could only think of how terribly basic and lame the other ones were.

Downloaded apps file??

Can't find downloaded apps file in astro. I've read that they should be in /data but nothing in there. I also tried searching in astro and nothing comes up. I am looking to change exdialer icon to stock.

Yes, they are located in /data/media or just /sdcard. Look at this thread and read through the posts to see if this is your situation.

If you're looking for the APK files they are stored in either /system/app or /data/app

No where to be found. Some apps are but most aren't.

You're not looking in the data folder on your virtual SD card are you?
Navigate to system/data/app
Not sure what icon Astro uses for "system" but it's likely a phone icon.

ASTRO doesn't have root capabilities, so I don't think it will work. Try root explorer or an alternative.

Folder with contents that won't delete

Hey all. I've been busting my brain, downloading different file managers, playing with permissions and whatnot trying to delete a couple folders left over from Skynote Rom.There's a folder named "Z" on my internal storage that won't go away. That folder houses the sky note wallpapers and an LMT pie launcher apk. Its in two spots on my internal storage and neither will delete. Though it doesn't take up much memory, its annoying to see 3 skynote wallpaper galleries in my photo gallery every time.
Is there a way to delete these items through some file manager I've yet to try or maybe even through recovery mode? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Delete it using TWRP. Had that same folder and couldn't get it removed. Until I deleted it from the TWRP recovery..

In your CM explorer app...open settings and enable root mode.
then dump the files you want gone..
Be careful in there....the CM file manager will allow deletion of "any" file within the OS, while root mode is enabled....g

File managers for nexus 7.2

I've been using ES file explorer to manage my files but its interface is a little annoying (e.g it keeps opening multiple window when I use shortcuts)
I'm wondering if there are other alternatives?
P.s my device is not rooted
Thanks in advance
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

I wonder the same, will be watching this thread closely, thanks for starting it!

I use Root Explorer. I am not positive, but you might be able to use it non rooted also. Hopefully because to me its the cleanest most intuitive explorer I've used. ES has a lot of features, its just too messy IMO.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4

i too use root explorer. this has been my choice for some time now. yes it works on unrooted phone,but you can use explorer for free.

Solid explorer :thumbup:
Wireless FTP support, dual panel for easy copy, move or drag & drop, bookmarks. Has all the hallmarks of your standard file explorer, and for the most part you'll be able to accomplish most of the same in any. Root explorer gets honorable mention, too.

Solid Explorer is AWESOME. I tried it out back when it was free and fell in love with it. As soon as a paid version came out I bought it immediately. The dual panel alone is amazing being able to just move stuff from one side to the other. Really cool. I HIGHLY recommend it if your looking to try something else.

Solid explorer is great if you use a cloud service also, bookmarks your info and you can copy your backups to the cloud with ease.

Nothing comes close to the functionality of Solid Explorer. I have tried every file manager (well a lot of the hundreds lol) and i always find my way back.
It simply just covers every angle. The ui is intuitive and well thought out, well worth the price. Its as nessisary an app as titanium backup.

Great thread since I'm not liking ES either.
Has anyone tried AntTek? I heard good things about it in the past...

File Manager HD. Beautiful UI. I agree with the OP about ES. I have been trying to make it my default browser for a while, but its just not happening. I do love the Cloud account integration.

My two favorites are Root Explorer and File Explorer (FX) by NextApp, Inc. The later being my goto file manager in most instances.
