Thank You!! I had the lite version and decide to buy the ad-free version to support the dev. After installing the ad-free version, it would not ask for root permissions anymore. Installed SuperUser and it works again.

Thanks for the generosity. While I was trying to figure out how to turn this to pro, which I'm still have not figured out. Don't know what I'm doing wrong. So I tapped on upgrade.

And I saw 0,99 euro cents. So I decided to rather show my support. Small amount for such a great app. Much appreciated. :D

problems with supersu
[Android Apps and Games] antiker1:
1) It seems that the root browser has problems to show the correct filenames if there are special characters like 'ä' in the filename. So, if you have i.e. two files... one named "test.txt" and one "täst.txt", the root browser doesn't show the correct filename "täst.txt".

2) When you try to open the normal file "test.txt" to view it, it opens in the right way without root. When you try to open the file "täst.txt" from the sdcard with the special character in the filename, the root browser asks for root rights ?! Why?
[Android Apps and Games] rlanza1054:
My question is this, I like supporting developers.

So I just purchased Root Browser and paid the 99¢.

Do I still need to create the special directory /system/etc/.root_browser to get all the options?

Thanks

I have bought paid version to show support and because its super low priced compared to other root file managers. HOWEVER even after installing superuser over SuperSU Im still not asked for root rights, therefor not able to write to /system

(Do I need any other special instructions, any other work around?)

Thanks in advance!!

P.S. LOVE the search option, much better than root explorer!!

Hi!

I installed Root Browser on my HTC Desire Z: when I'm using it, it keeps saying that it has obtained root privileges, and it's pretty annoying.

Is it a bug?
[Android Apps and Games] fleischbanane:
I updated to the newest version today and it shows me advertisement although i added the ".root_browser"-file. Worked for me on every older version. :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Huexxx:
Yeap, the same in my case.

Are you going to get rid of that and allow ad-free version with the trick?

Also, there's some way to reduce icons a little bit? Maybe old version had too little icons, but this new version had too big icons...

Regards and thanks for your work.
[Android Apps and Games] usrname:
i dont like the update, it is a step backwards... too big icons for the blind and an annoying banner at the bottom. :thumbdown:
[Android Apps and Games] Mr Wolf:

By the way, if I set a home folder, how can I come back to it??? :confused: If I click on the home button, it brings me to the root folder. :cyclops:

[Android Apps and Games] fleischbanane:
I use AddFree and update every day. But in some apps it can't block the ads. Most time its ads for an other app of the developer which are not on a server but in the app.

[Android Apps and Games] starbright_:
Would prefer smaller icons to see more of content. Nevertheless a great tool.

Also would like to see the .root_browser trick would work again. Maybe the developer will tell us more?

Maybe go back to the old version. Is there a way to keep away google play from notifications about updates?
[Android Apps and Games] Orical:
I know that, as stated in the op its ui is like explorer and from what I read maybe I took it wrong it sounds like they were from the same dev. If that's not the case then I'm sorry it bothered you.

I'm a supporter that actually bought this from the Play Store and am really grateful for the fix that means I can get into directories with a ton of image files. However, it'd be nice if there was an activity spinner so show it was working, as right now it kinda just has you hoping and waiting.

Also, I'd really like to see a proper Action Bar at the top. I like the contextual actions at the bottom, but they should only appear when neccessary and... well... contextually. But I'd definitely like to see a proper action bar put in place at the top.

Been using this for a while now from the market until I stumbled in here. I tried adding the /system/etc/.root_browser file, but don't notice any difference in performance, including the ad at the bottom remaining. Does this no longer work for the market version?

No it does not work any more. It worked before a big update, but this thread wasn't updated for a long time.

[Android Apps and Games] el_smurfo:
Thanks for the quick reply. The ad is pretty unobtrusive and worth it to support the dev. Will probably pick up the paid version sometime down the road, except the silence from the dev is a little worrying considering some of the issues people are having with root access to /data and crashes. I have similar weirdness with Better battery stats asking for root permission all the time and the dev over there claims it's a JellyBean issue (though these two are the only apps that do it).

Are those with /data issues using SuperSU by any chance? I'm using CM10 with Superuser and it works fine.
[Android Apps and Games] fleischbanane:
I am using CM10.1 with Superuser and have no problems with the market version. You can also use Adfree against the ad in this app. ;)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23686491&highlight=data#post23686491

Solution appears to be just copying a superuser.apk file for Root Browser to see it as this is the way it detects root? Seems oddly hacky, but if it works for you, good luck.

Can someone do this simple test, and explain to me how is this possible?

Just make a file test.apk, and file TEST.apk in the same directory. Why the second file, not changing the first one?

This is not possible with another file manager.

Thanks!

Sorry for my bad english!
[Android Apps and Games] post-mortem:
I don't know what you mean about the 2nd file not changing the 1st one, but Android is linux-based. Unlike in Windows, file names in linux (Android) are case-sensitive, so "test.apk" and "TEST.apk" are 2 different files, and should be treated as 2 different files by any file manager program.
[Android Apps and Games] borkins:
Thank you!

I mean, the second created file - TEST.apk, should replace the first - test.apk.

Ok, but when I refresh the directory of the two files (test.apk and TEST.apk), then the second created file ( TEST.apk) disappear.

Why is that, if they are different?
[Android Apps and Games] post-mortem:
If you want to replace a file, you should copy over a file with the exact same name, including upper/lower case (then, make sure you have the correct permissions set). If the file is disappearing, that's another problem. Are you sure you have write permissions in that directory? The partition is mounted r/w?
[Android Apps and Games] borkins:
Yes, I know that. :) The test which i made, was in external sd card ( with r/w permission ).

Just trying to understand why the files ( test.apk and TEST.apk ) are different, but at the same time one of them dissapear from the folder, when I refresh. The second file who I created disappearing.

If you don't understand me, try the test above. Refresh the folder and see what is happening with the second file? That I can't understand.

Thanks for helping me, mate!

------------------------------------------

Sorry for my bad English!
[Android Apps and Games] post-mortem:
How are you copying the file? What program are you using? An app, or over adb?

Also, what if you check with another file manager, what do you see? How about over adb?
[Android Apps and Games] shadrmg:
that's owesome!
[Android Apps and Games] borkins:
I use "root browser" trial. I just moving the file "TEST.apk" to the folder, where is the file "test.apk". But that is no important i think, because i can make the file "TEST.apk" directly into that directory with "root browser".

Yes, I tried with another file manager ( solid explorer, fx file explorer ), and there the upper/lower case was not important, because when i moved the second file to the location of the first, the program ask to replace or skip the procedure. And also, I can't make TEST.apk in the directory where is test.apk, coz the program said that the file already exist.

But "root browser" can do that, and I'm really confused what is happening :)))

I hope you understand what I mean. Just want to understand what's going on, nothing more. :)

[Android Apps and Games] post-mortem:
Oh, I wasn't talking about the permissions of the /system folder, I meant the /system partition! You can use ES File Explorer or Root Explorer to easily remount partitions as writable, so that you can make changes within them.

Anyhow, you can still fix your problem over adb, or Aroma File Manager. If you have a recent backup, you can just restore that, too.

Do you know how to change a folder's permissions over adb??

Great app, however I'm having a slight issue. My device (an LG Optimus L38C) has difficulties using the Google Play Store and I have done everything so far, except for one thing which I needed Root Browser to do. I need to go to system/etc/ and edit the hosts file, because I read that by adding a hashtag to the front of the string of numbers and resetting google play, you can download apps again. My issue is it keeps saying "Error retrieving information from the server. [RPC:S-7:AEC-0 4UYK-II5T-YRZVA]."
