Pretty sure you can access them over ADB, so you can pull, move or remove.
He can easily acces them with ES File Explorer .

how are you trying to edit those files?
the phone is rooted, but it doesn't mean it sudo every single app you run. plus if i'm not mistaken, / is mounted as read-only. you'll need to remount it as r/w
i' ve tried with andexplorer (downloaded from market) and root explorer. trying to edit build.prop file

Because AdFree is not working on Desire:
I've made hosts file which is compilation of two lists and some manual additions (for correct blocking of admob). So I decided to share with my list. Use it if You want to. Please tell me if this forum is wrong for that list.
Sorry for the n00b question but how do you install this?
Nice one mate. You've just reminded me I needed to redo my hosts file after installing Modaco Froyo, and I might as well use yours as it'll be more up to date than mine.

ditto this, instructions for us noobies?
unzip the host file
than enter recovery
adb-windows shell mount /system
adb-windows shell mv /system/etc/hosts /sdcard/backuphost
adb push c:\hosts /system/etc
that should wrok if you unziped hosts.zip to c:\ and if something goes wrong you have your original hosts file backed up in /sdcard/backuphost
hope this helps
p.s. i didn't try this
did everything, and adfree is still not working in froyo...
Thanks anyway!
Edit: Now, Adfree FCs!
Edit 2: I did it again and it worked!
Could someone please create a zip file, that can be falshed through clockworkmod recovery? This would be fantastic.
Try this, mate. [Click!]

This is great, thanks for sharing - it seems to work great. I might go back to a stock hosts though - I like to block ads when browsing, but I feel bad about doing it for ad-supported applications. That's just me though

Thank you. I have been looking for this for a long time
Great work, it worked a charm until I changed to a new rom, went to use it again and it was gone from the downloads in Rom Manager.
Big thanks.
Panic over, It was saved as a download on my SD card, Rom Manager flashed it again from the saved location no problem.
Love it.
danbst said:
Your stuff is gone from Rom Manager it seems mate.
Would I be right in assuming I can put this on my card renamed as update.zip (if I need to?)
Use rom manager to boot into recovery and flash it manually?
Great work BTW, it worked a charm until I changed to a new rom, went to use it again and as I say it was gone.
Big thanks.

You don't need to rename the zip file if you're using ROM Manager, but yes you should be able to install this through the manager.
If you can't download it through the ROM Manager report, my link is always online and will be updated when possible.

Just a confused question;
If we have a rooted device, what's the reason for having to use the recovery menu? Can you not simply overwrite the file?
Thanks
Yea you can, provided you reboot into recovery and mount the system, then pull or push the device back into the system.
Either way you need to boot into recovery as there's no root method that fully allows read/write access for the Desire at the moment.

It should work like this. Unfortunatelly you can't mount system partition as read/write. That is because system is blocking this in some way.

Another quick one:
I used the zip file which people are using in the rom manager. I rebooted into clockwork and selected apply update from zip and selected the file. Appears I broke the system though lol .
Is this not the right way of doing it?
Also how do you type commands in the recovery? :S

What version of CWM? Should be data/media/clockworkmod if youre above 6.0.1.5. But you need to enable root explorer settings and system as writable [i believe] to see anything in data in es explorer.

Nvm I found a work around using the PC tool. Thanks anyway.
So long as you had ES File Explorer set to have root access you would have found them in /media/data/clockworkmod
EDIT: You know something, this used to work but now it doesn't. How strange...

Precisely why I posted. I said I tried everything. I meant EVERYTHING. I found a workaround using the gnex toolkit.

Hey Guys,
I have been able to get CyanogenMod File Explorer working on stock but it will not allow for root access... I've put the file in system/app and set permissions RW-R--R-- and still no luck. Anyone succeed with this?

This may not be the answer you're looking for, but why do you need to get the CM File Explorer working? There are many excellent alternatives.

Ok, well good look in getting it to work, but do consider that a file explorer is just a tool and not one that you want to spend a lot of time in, anyway. For me, moving files around on my Android through the Windows file explorer or ADB is what I focus on. At most, I will use the ES File Explorer to launch a file or delete it.
Pretty sure you can download it on fdroid.
Yup here it is.

Figured out why it does not work on most devices... Mist devices who have busybox installed do not have all the symlinks and applets needed to run the file manager.
Hello,
I have My Files App in my Tablet, and for me it's so far the best File Manager I had a chance to use.
I would like to use it on my Motorola smart phone. Will it work ? Where can purchase it ? I Googled it, to no avail.
Thanks for any hints !

Hi, Thank you. I was able to copy the Apk to my Xperia Mini St15i, but it refused to install. Maybe Samsung won't let it ? I'll test it in my Motorola Razr D1 on Monday, when it comes back from service.

Well, needless to say that this can only be done on a rooted phone ?? I will do it on my Razr, from what I saw in the Web, it looks as a tremendous simple procedure. I'll forget about the Xperia, I really don't like this phone anyway. Let it rest on a drawer for a rainy day.
Thanks again
