Nice, lots of useful info. Requests: fixed-width font; horizontal scrolling for viewing text files with long lines; Taller text lines so don't cut off the descenders of characters like p, q, g. Mount and view partitions;
Some interesting features for archives etc but I am spoiled by the elegance of es file explorer, thanks tho.
Downloaded this in hopes of checking .sfv files but the app crashes CONSTANTLY. No excuse for it being so unstable on a new S6
Quite powerful app with a lot of functions and info about your files. Extremely useful for users who know what they are doing, specially those who have a rooted device. Suggestion: To allow display of more than one file attributes column instead of one at a time. Well done dev, please keep up the good work !
By far THE BEST and most useful app on my phone. If you are rooted and you frequently modify sys files/perms, you NEED THIS APP!
Allowed me to browse my CWM backup. Thanks!
This is an awesome app to control space.
All folders say size is 4096, is this a bug? How do I determine the size of a folder?
Not being able to test archives??? Is it so hard to implement?
This is a root explore app and NOT a yaffs . I know what it does and yaffs is an acronym for " yet another flash file system " to actual developers this refers to a tool for processing. Img files in android and linux/unix systems. Considering this app is on the android market it is misleading and useless as anyone that knows use root explore. I am so sick of overseas developers.
NEEDED TOOL THAT COMPLEMENTS STOCK APP THAT COMES WITH CELLPHONE. THANK YOU!
Copy paste in to dot folder or from system folder doesn't work
Aw, I'll kinda miss the "Oui/Non" dialogue.
The best so far
Please add tabs, so that copying becomes easier. Please ask to rename if exists in destination folder.
What an unstable crap! Showing backup file contents doesn't work at all!
Good tools..thumb up
Wouldn't work at all. Galaxy Nexus.
It is the most powerful file manager. Recommend add functions such as "send via bluetooth", "set as ringtone"etc.
App does eveything it is supposed to. No crashes or errors. But, since its so powerful, it could do lots of damage. I think people need to realize that before getting mad at the app when they break something. LG Optimus V.
This won't open .img files on my HTC Wildfire. When I click on a nandroid .img file it just shows a blank view. Will give 5 stars when fixed.
Due to this: root explorer! ;) just SOO HAPPY - I MANAGED TO GET GRASS LIVE WALLPAPER on the fone: Couldn't have done it w.out this !!!!
Nice and easy to use.
Amazing app, a bit slow but I understand why. My backups are around 1 gig a piece.. Droid X
Does what it should, this is great!! No more trying to remember commands. Moto defy cm7 rc1v2.
5 stars!!!.. very good app.. must have.
when i try to cut paste files, the app delete the files..!!!
Cut means just that...Cut. Press COPY
Please add some options: custom font size, themes, user-customizable toolbar for quicker access.
This tool saved me from having to reflash my phone when I ran an install of a bad version of busybox. I only need the system/bin folder and I could extract only that one. It really saved me days of getting every thing back the way I had it since my last backup was weeks old. Really a very cool tool that does what it is supposed to do! Thanks!!
