Hi
So I just rooted my OUYA but there is a problem. Everything seems to work fine except for root file managers. Installed root browser but once I open it, it instantly crashes. Same with ES file explorer. With root explorer I manage to navigate, but once I click a file it crashes too.
I installed root checker and it confirms that the console is rooted. I tried everything (including re-doing the entire process) but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?
It's probably the apps, not root. A lot of sideloaded apps aren't going to work (newest ES file explorer included) simply because they aren't designed for the Ouya.

I've a bunch of apps on my PC which are no longer on the market. Is it possible to install these on a rooted sgs? I currently have a g1 which is rooted and enables me to do so but am changing phone in a few days time
You shouldn't need to root it (unless they are cracked/protected apps), there is an option on the phone to allow the install of non-market apps.
From XQ55
+Market_Enabler_v3.0.8.apk
+Paid_Apps_Enabler.apk
Install it using Astro File Manager

this is by far the easiest way
wifi FTW
Easiest solution infact imho is using ES File Explorer from market.
with ES File Explorer you can just install them through wifi lan.
Once you share the folder in your pc, you can always access it through wifi and with one click install, copy etc. anything.
Was wondering what other Galaxy Nexus owners use as a filer manger. Used to use Explorer (not root) on my old phone, but it does not display properly on the GNex.
I am open to the "Icon" style GUI's though I tend to like the list style better. I don't mind pay-for apps.
I use ES file explorer.. I like the GUI and it works fine on the GN
Root Explorer is the best I've found. A recent update made it possible to open most if not all file types from the app. I was using Astro to do that but now that Root Explorer can do i as well it's a one stop shop for me.
There is a new free alternative to Root Explorer called Root Browser. I used it a little a few weeks back on my Droid 3 but it doesn't seem a mature as Root Explorer so I haven't used it since.
Everybody has his own preference but the 3 main ones I've noticed around are
ES File explorer
File Expert
Root Explorer
ES File Exlporer doesn't get to ALL files though does it? I have root explorer , but I can't update.....some crazy mess going on with that app , in the market( only for me though). I am still on version 2.16. Is root browser pretty much the same as root explorer ?
The best File explorers/managers you can get are:
Androzip
because of it's easy-to-use interface and because of it's understandable options
ES file Explorer
This app coninces due to it's colourful interface. It has good and accecable controls, and it barely interfears with anything...
The only thing that bothers me, though, is that you have to multi-select, to delete files/folders...
Root Explorer (File manager)
This app starts automaticly in the root section (filesystem)
You can use this ap, to remount your filesystem, and you can moify the SDcard speed, whilst you're at it...
The only thing that is missing, is the colourfulness in other explorers...
The same goes for speedsoftware's explorer.
It starts in the root section, and you can have a look-see through your OS, you can delete things from your SD card, but you cannot modify your OS.
That's why I would recommend this to beginners/hobby modders...
Those are he main explorers, and they are all together the best you can find.
I'll give another vote for ES File Explorer. Great UI and worked for everything I needed.

All the above mentioned work quite well so it's really just a matter of preference. I like the simplistic UI of Root Explorer (+ it's the first file explorer I bought when I first started with Android) so I use it.
My vote goes with ES.
Contrary to some comments above, you can access and modify all files with it (it is root enabled), and you don't need to multi select to delete stuff, you can long press...
The built in text editor and zip manager work with ROM zips and scripts etc, and even apk files. I even use it on my GTV because the built in movie player is compatible with more file formats than any other player for GTV...
And I just love the wifi explorer and cloud storage integration...

I believe (its been a while) you just go into ES File Explorer settings and enable the root access feature.

i personally use ES, its free and pretty much fully functional
root explorer ftw.
ES and Astro work but I can't stand the UI.
Simple for me, "explorer" if you're not rooted and "root explorer" if you are. Both apps are by the same dev. Clean, intensive and ad free.

Hi
I have rooted my p6 via eroot method. It seems to be rooted. I can install cwm touch, I can flash something, superuser works, but I can't rename the files in system, can't copy any files to system folder.
I used Es file explorer and root browser with granting root permissions. Both didn't work.
Any idea, solution? Thanks.
Hi,
Use another file Explorer like root Explorer...
Es file Explorer are my Favorit Explorer but i have the same problem at my p6.
If i aktivate the root Option it will not be fix this.
With an other root Explorer it works perfectly.

Because you also have to make the folders R/W (Read/Write)
With es file Explorer it doesent work. With every other root Explorer it works without any changes in file system settings.

Yes that worked with me. Thank you very much.
I'm running on a rooted Z1C.
I already changed the settings so I can write on my sdcard.
I'm using ES File explorer,
in settings click on root and
mount everything I can see as R/W (/, /system, /mnt/idd, lta-label)
but I still can't write anything to /system or /system/etc.
I always get permission denied when copying a file.
I was able to do it with root explorer so now I'm still wondering why ES File explorer 3.1.6 can't do it.
How to solve this for ES File explorer?
I like to use only one file manager for those tasks.

Have you installed this app? I use ES File Explorer 3.1.6 on KitKat and I can copy or rename files to external SD.
Make sure you granted root access in your superSU or superuser app to es file explorer. It is working for me.

I already installed SDFIX.
SInce supersu 1.99r4 craches sometimes I decided to go back to SuperSU1.94.
But now I always get a message in ES File explorer when I try to set Root; your device does not support this.
When I try once again with Root explorer everything works fine.
So what's going on, do I need anolder version of ES File explorer, is there something wrong with version 3.1.6
If I open up suersu I can see ES File explorer in the list, do I need to specify a specific user for it?

I'm using 3.1.6 aswell. And no, you just need to grant it root access.

I completely uninstalled Es File expliorer and SuperSu.
Reinstalled Supersu 1.94 and ES File explorer 3.1.6
Gave ES File explorer root access and now it works fine.
No idea what happaned but now it works fine.
TWRP has a built in file manager, I managed to install an apk using 3 apps and TWRP:
Requirements:
1.)Unlocked bootloader on the Wear device (This voids warranty)
2.)Obviously TWRP on Wear device
3.)A smartphone
4.)An Android Wear device
5.)Chrome on Wear
6.)Superbeam
7.)Es File Explorer on Wear
What I did is used Superbeam on my smartphone to send the apk to the wear device. To do this I disconnected my smartwatch from my smartphone and copied the ip address Superbeam created for the apk into chrome on the Wear device then allowed it to download the apk. Once it had downloaded the apk I used Es File Explorer on Wear to check if it was successful and successful it was. Then I booted the wear device into TWRP and moved/copied the apk into data/app (I used TWRP since Es File Explorer wasnt showing the directory data/app) then I chmoded the apk to 0644 and surprisingly when I rebooted it worked so im gonna try various apps using this method.
Install with es file Explorer
1. Follow steps 1, 5 and 7 above then
2. Download apk with chrome
3 load es file Explorer
4 click on root Explorer
5 now select one key install
6 then find your apk
7 install it and it should work

Yes not all apks work though
Any that you have tried that work and that you would recommend? I feel like many of them wouldn't go so well.
There is another thread on here about that. I will link when I find it. Start with the new version of es filer explorer...

I'd be interested to know if you could get the HID Mobile Access app running on the watch. Potential to open access controlled doors...
There is away to get play store working on SmartWatch but the tutorial given is really bad alot of people including myself have had trouble doing it and when I attempted it by following the op it resulted in me getting connection issues even still after relocking bootloader. If anyone can provide a better tutorial than the current one it would be better im not sure if the thread is still around also there is another way to get apps on watch using es file Explorer with root I will edit op for it
