hi, think this my first post, and Im not sure if i am in the rite plase..
I just inatall Jedi master 18, custome rom. into my note2 tmobile.
it works great, wonderfull. but I notice, that the stock my files app
is not showing.
and I will like to know, if by any idea, I could get it back..
I really love that particular app. thank you
I do believe there was an option for "myfiles" in aroma installer, but I may be wrong about that. You can just reinstall the Rom on top of itself without losing settings or data. "My files" may not give you access to the root directory, again I'm not sure as I have considered "myfiles" to be bloatware since froyo.
Might I recommend an app in the play store called "root explorer" it is a paid app, but absolutely worth the small charge. "Es file explorer" would be the second runner up, this is a free app but imho not as intuitive as root explorer

Is there any way to add some apps/games to pre-installed ?
If there is a way to do it please tell me how im a newbie and I might ask alot of questions.
Regards,
JC2
Well basically pre-installed means "installed apps, (if paid or under the copyright such as google apps) still protected by the law but legally and originally dependend to the ROM provided by manufacturer/producer/network operator/developer and free to use for everyone who owns the device" which is mainly the phone.
So I think there is no reasonable way to add pre-installed games/apps, but only download/buy them and just install...
I don't really see the point of this question but I'll be happy if my post helps you.
Cheers!
Put the apk in the system/app folder then install it.
That doesn't sound like what you're asking, but the closest I know you can do. Or you can use Titanium Backup to convert it to a system app.

How can I use titanium backup to convert it to a system app?
In Titanium Backup long press the app and choose convert to system app. You need the paid for version though.

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

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.
Well after installing the LH9 update, my battery life is horrible like so many others.
I am going to downgrade back to a rooted LG1, and I want to prevent the OS from trying to do the OTA update again.
I've googled and done some searches on here, and read a few ways, but wanted to know if someone can clarify an easy way to do it.
Not to sound cheap, but I'd hate to buy Titanium backup just to freeze one thing, being as I wouldn't use the program for anything else.
I also read about just deleting the AT&T update program. But an not sure the best way to do that.
So I am just seeking an easy way to just stop the update process without having to spend money on apps I wouldn't use for anything else.
Using tibu to freeze an app is the exact same thing as disabling it in application settings. I think what your looking for is device management. I think.

Ok I just looked and it's called "AT&T Software Update" and you can't disable it normally in the phone. The option is grayed out.
Are there any free programs to Freeze apps? I wouldn't mind buying TiBu if I felt I would get more use out it. But for now I only need it to do that one thing, so I just can't justify the cost of it, being as it isn't too cheap.
TiBu is the best $6 I've spent on this hobby.
If your not rooted tibu won't do you any good anyway. But if you are rooted, go into system/app folder and either rename or move the apk in question. OTA no more.

go to system/app and delete wssyncmldm.apk and wssyncmldm.odex that will stop it. I would move them to your sdcard and keep them in case you need them again.

Thanks for the great info you guys.
Is there a free explorer app which will give access to the system/app folder? Or is Root Explorer the only option?
Thanks.
ES File explorer will, just enable root explorer in settings.
When I try to delete the apk and odex through es file explorer it always fails. Anyway to get around this? I'm a n00b.

Make fure you enable root explorer in es explorer settings and make system writable (also in settings).
I've looked up how to replace system apps and read multiple guides, but I haven't found what I'm looking for specifically. I want to remove the stock Google apps and replace them with alternatives. For example, I want quickpic instead of the gallery.
I've rooted my phone making it writable. I've flashed my phone enough times to know I need to read. I'm currently running Reloaded .500 RLS.
I've moved the quickpic apk to /system/app and changed the permissions and then I moved the gallery to /data/app and uninstalled it, but when I reboot the app is installed but force closes upon opening. What should I do? Also, should I change the name of the apk to the system app for association purposes because I want the replacement apps to be associated with the functions off the Google apps. Like when in messages when I click on "attach" I want to be able to click "picture from camera" which I can't right now even though I renamed the replacement app Camera.apk. Definitely need some help. Tia!

Get Titanium Backup from the market, uninstall the system apps and install your apps choosing "integrate into rom" or something similar

Not sure why you'd want to find them but if you're trying to get it for free (or something like that), you're in the wrong place.
If that's not the case, mind clarifying why you're looking for them?

I paid for root explorer so that I can explore the files and folders on my phone. I noticed that half of the apps I have installed are not in the same location as I usually would see them....not sure what you mean by get them for free when they are paid apps already on my phone. Do I need to forward you google receipts...not everyone is trying to get everything for free. This is not my first post and if you were to check my previous posts you would see that I'm always taking time to help others in the pasts. Thanks anyways.
Btw Im looking for them because I like to theme some of my apps. You'll see I made a tutorial over a year ago on how to use 7zip to theme your phone or apps.

Slow down for a sec... I'm sorry you took this in the wrong way. There just isn't any reason to be looking for a app with root explorer unless you wanna extract it (I won't explain the process of stealing paid apps), which is why I was asking your reasons for it.
Either way, as you probably noticed, not all apps install in the same folders (often games). Some of them are installed under system/app, others in data/data and of course, data/app (there might be other folders).
You could also use TiBu to backup the apk, pull it from your phone (in the TiBu folder) and do your magic from there.
P.S.: Reading with a smile helps to avoid confusion and taking things the wrong way
I too pull the apps and theme them for myself. For Root Explorer and probably other paid apps I too am not sure where they are now. Root Explorer was always under data/apps but after its update I have not found it. It has a built in theme kind of where you can choose some of the images seen (text file,picture file, etc.) but I was just wanting to theme them color wise but I haven't found it yet. I will let you know if I find it, please do the same. I will do a complete search of all files to see if I can locate where it is hidden.
I also know some of the apps stuff is located in data/data but when you find speed software there it doesn't have the files I am looking for.
EDIT: I FOUND IT. It is called pkg.apk or red.zip and is located in mnt/asec/com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer-1/pkg.apk
