Which file explorer?

Very sorry, this is a bit of a newbie question. I've updated to revo HD 2.1 and recently put on the power notification widget add on.
It says you can edit the widget.txt file in system/customize.
Well I got there but using root option on estrong yet I cannot see or edit the txt file. I've accepted superuser access etc. Selected Hiapk, didn't see it, selected cryogen and that didn't see anything either..
I also tried atsro and root explorer with no luck.
What file explorer people use to edit root system files?
Thanks for reading.

Why don't you edit the txt file on your pc before flashing the mod? ES file explorer should do fine...
Doh, I think it wad titanium back up causing problems, I reinstalled it and everything looked fine.
Out of curiosity, how do I explore system dir when on pc?
Thanks for quick reply.

Answering to your first post I will recommend ES File Manager too.

You can do it using adb, but you would have to work in the terminal (unless there's a GUI for it I don't know off?)
Regarding your first question: I would recommend Root Explorer, works like a charm

i think that ES file explorer is the best of the explorer
I use ES File Explorer and sometimes AndroZIP for unzipping archives.
Isn't he asking for a file explorer which will let him edit /system/customize/widget.txt?
I think the thread title is misleading.

Won't delete

I've been using root explorer to try and delete a config.data file for my browsers flash player and the file will always come back after a few hours.. /: this is on miui 1.12.9, and this occurs both with dolphin browser and the stock browser.
Did you try to edit it?

I tried to write it out in your flash player thread a few down.I like ES file explorer because it has its own editor. You'll need to go into settings and under file settings check show hidden files. Then check up /, and check root access

Allright ill give it a go, thanks!

File Explorer

anyone have any File Explorer suggestion? it must be as good as Root Explorer but only access Internal & External SDCard and without root permission.. it's very dangerous if my little brother play with the system file (who knows?)
because I'm using CM9 and the OI File Manager is so stupid and poor..
thx in advance..
Astro file manager, es file manager (do not enable root explorer mode) or the stock file manager from samsung should do you fine...
Solid Explorer!

+1 for ES. I have been using it since it first came out. It's very good, the 1st thing I restore after factory reset / reflash.
_____ W + Bionic Cow 2 + xda app _____
Solid Explorer-it's very powerful

Try X-plore:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwxLDEsImNvbS5sb25lbHljYXRnYW1lcy5YcGxvcmUiXQ..
It has the option to allow or disallow SU root access.
I recomend ES too it's free and adless, and it looks very elegant (especially the icons)

Great Day!

Maybe Filemanger by CyanogenMod Project

my opinion... is x-plore.
iam using it since iam using symbian phone (n81-n95) its the best file explorer... it can open apk as zip, open rar file, create zip, superuser permission, hex viewer, show hidden, edit permissiom, create/edit teks, has dedicated audio, picture, video player. and yeah...

Explorer or RootExplorer is the best.
Es explorer, highly recommended

why not just have both>>??
i have 2 file explorer on my phone,, one is the default provided in cm9,, and the other one is x-plore.... i also have root explorer...

[Q] obb data files

My brother has a kindle and side loaded a game that isn't on the kindle store yet (svz2). He's has the data files and the apk. He installed the apk but we can't find where to put the date file. It says to place it in the obb folder. I went into android folder and didn't see an obb, so i created one and put it in to no avail. I was wondering if it went somewhere else on the fire or if its just not gonna work.
This is a first gen kindle that's not rooted.
Ok you need to be rooted and have something like es file explorer with superuser rights to put that data in the correct folder just making a folder will not work

You just have to find the Android/obb folder, and put the folder where the file is in inside it.

[Q] CM 10.2 my files back plz?

I recently updated from CM 10.0 to 10.2
it seems that all my old files are at
/mnt/shell/emulated/
while the new home folder is at
/mnt/shell/emulated/0/
even giving full root access to any app (solid explorer/cm explorer...) I can't open copy or move any of the old files
I'm able to list them and thats it
How do I move the files at the right place?
thanks

Try an other Explorer. Like es or root browser.

+1 for root browser. Not sure if you can pull entire directories via adb?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 4
sorry the other explorers did not work
its like the files are owned by the wrong user and they can't be modified
update...
I rebooted the phone after trying es root explorer and suddenly I got access back trought ES explorer
It failed before the reboot... I don't know why...
thanks
