I just bought a car and it comes with this android system on board:
http://www.techattack.my/7792/hands-proton-suprima-s-infotainment-system-running-android/
I have tried downloading the app, tried uploading the google market apk through USB and it all failed. The system does not have a file explorer, and does not even recognise .apk files. I have also tried hooking my phone via the usb-micro usb port, hoping the system will see the phone and I can use the file explorer, failed as well.
Is it even possible to root this device? I just want to put 2 things on it. Waze and Google maps.

Hi.
I am new to Android and need your help.
I can not find files or file manager in the apps confused.
do I need to download anything to be able to do this?
And I do not know how to install apps if I copy one from my mac to the phone.
Lastly, I also do not understand why my mac can not see the folders of the phone even though it is connected via usb.
Finally, I tried to transfer data via bluetooth, but again I did not manage.
It says time over or something I do not know.
It looks very basic, but I need your help.
Please , help.
There is no default file manager. Most people will never need one.
If you want one, search the market for one, there are dozens. Astro is very popular.
to install ones you copy over, you need to go to home>menu>settings>applications
tick the box to 'allow unknown sources'
then, in whichever file manager you download, open the APK file on the card and it should install.
You can only browse the files of the SD card. the phone memory is system memory and protected. you do not eed to access it. All storage is done by the memory card, not the phone memory.
Bluetooth functions are limited on android. you can send files (as long as they are files the phone supports i believe) but you cannot use isync or anything like that.
If you want more sophisticated sync options for android, have a look at the missing sync for android at www.markspace.com
simples.
Thanks.
I downloaded Astro and it seems nice.
Now I can see how it works little bit.
Thanks for your help.
Hi I am having some issues with my Motorola Xoom, I Upgraded to the latest Android software and it says that it enabled USB Hosting (I have the Wifi only Version) and the guy at Best Buy said I should just be able to plug my 2gb thumb drive in threw an OTG cable and an Icon should just appear on my screen, This doesn't happen, I have tried looking for it threw Astro File manages and Es file Explorer but when I go to the /Usbdisk it just says "Directory is empty" even though I have files on it. Can someone please help me how to do this I would really like to be able to access external hard drives. Also I did root my device and rooted it with the wrong image (Mines a Wifi only and I used a 3G root file). I went online and found what was said to be the "Out of the box" xoom root image, Now sometimes when I plug in my 750gb hard drive into the xoom to test, my xoom restarts? does anyone know what that can be??
Thanks...
Looks like ES File Explorer isn't available in the Amazon app store for the Fire Phone. I've tried downloading .apk's from elsewhere via silk to no avail (it looks like it is specifically not allowing *.apk's to download). There is the option to allow installing 3rd party apps, but not sure how to get the apk on the device. Anyone found a way yet?
Mine is still sitting on a UPS truck somewhere here in town, will have it soon. I sure hope we can at least get gMail and Chrome working otherwise I may return mine shortly after getting it.
Edit: oh crap, didn't realize YouTube will not work either.
adb sideloading works...
I was able to enable USB debugging by going into Settings > Device > Get Info About Your Fire and tapping the device name 5 times.
After that I following this guide ( https://developer.amazon.com/post/T...p-the-ADB-driver-for-Kindle-Fire-Devices.html ) to get the right Kindle adb driver installed.
From there I used the chrome apk found here ( http://www.thinkcomputers.org/how-to-install-google-chrome-on-the-amazon-kindle-fire-hd/ ) and did a "adb install chrome.apk"
So far, so good...
Awesome, wondering if google maps would work the the same.
gmail, youtube, etc have also been installed following this guide... http://www.gizmag.com/how-to-install-google-apps-kindle-fire-hd-hdx/30736/
Not sure about the stability yet, but I will report my findings...
Awesome, mine just arrived. I may leave it shrink wrapped for a couple more hours though.
I've been having difficulties getting my Windows 7 computer to detect the Fire Phone as a valid USB device. Windows tries to install drivers for it but always says drivers are not available. I just installed the android SDK and tried the Kindle drivers and the Google drivers, neither worked as well. I'm very frustrated at this point.
Ok, Windows 7 now sees my phone. I run the "N edition" and had to install many of the packages "N" excludes by default so it was an OS/Microsoft issue.
I just installed the basic four but the google framework crashes frequently while using google apps. The apps work but the framework crashing messages are annoying.
ES File Explorer
I had no issues with downloading this straight to my firephone then installing it. I did have to do some Google.fu to find the apk from a reliable source initialy but once on it is working as normal. If I can find the apk I used ill either upload it to my Google Drive and link or link straight to it if possible.
Es File Explorer
ES Fire Explorer is available for Fire phone. All you need to do is go to Amazon Appstore in your Fire and search for "ES File Explorer" and it will be there.
Yes, ES File Explorer is now on the Amazon App Store
I have installed it, along with many other apks I found on Google, such as Chrome, Instagram, uTorrent, Pandora and a bunch of games like Assassin's Creed Black Flag, Nova, GTA San Andreas and others.
So far everything is working fine. Ive had my Fire Phone for about a month now and it's really not a bad phone. It does everything I need it to.
The only issue I have noticed is that after I have been playing a high definition game for longer than 45 mins or so, the phone does start to get hot. But I just stop playing for a bit and it's fine.
Back to the original question though, yes ES File Explorer is now on the App store and working properly, and you can install just about any apk you can find.
First I backed up all my apps onto a USB drive using Titanium Backup, than I updated my Nexus 7 to CM13. I can't get the USB drive to mount to the system properly so I can restore all my apps. I've done all the things that TB needs such as enabled root access, etc... The system recognizes the drive, and I can browse the files using the CM13 popup. But it doesn't seem to be mounted to the file system in a way that TB can find it (using detect -> whole device). I also can't find by using a 3rd party file manager to browse the system. I tried using stickmount. It complains about the SU that CM uses, and it never has the toast message whenever a driver is inserted, even though I set it to open stickmount by default whenever a USB drive is inserted. Installing all the apps I need will take up most of the file space, so I can't just copy over all of the TB backedup files.

Have you tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-usb-marshmallow-1-0-t3272072 ?
That's for the phone showing up as a drive on a computer. I can get that to work. I was trying to get a USB drive connected directly to the phone over OTG and mounted in the filesystem. I finally gave up.

It also solved OTG mounting issues on my N7, that's why I suggested the module. Well, don't give up
How?
I'm on cm13 and I'm having the same problem with opening files and I installed what you recommended but I don't see any options when hooking up a USB drive over otg cable. I have been able to see the device in the included file manager enabling root but I seem to lose it and it's not helpful. What do I do? Thanks
Edit: it's definitely installed properly as it does remember my PC connection preference.
Hi, I bought this smart tv yesterday and I saw that it doesn't have many useful apps, including disney + and Primevideo. They are not even present on the store. Also in the system there is no app that acts as a file manager or that allows you to install external apks. I would like to know if anyone knows a way to install those apps, or change firmware, or install a file manager, or something like that. For example i see on youtube that with old smart tv they were able to downgrade the firmware and install a different store from which they install a file manager, and from this they install primevideo.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Hey @vincent99187 did you manage to install anything on this **** 43P610?
I have bought as well some weeks ago due a good offer but I totally understand why now... Are we forced to buy an external device to have something usesul a side ths chinese **** preinstalled?
I saw a video with same interface and previous 'app store' where was feasible to download 'es file explorer' to navigate and install APK so somehow I still want to believe, however now isn't available to download and I don't find any way to enable adb or to move our things here..
