i have no root on my Xperia U running stock 4.0.4 ICS and i can't see folder size. (there is "Size -" in the properties). is it normal? do i need root to see it?

false alarm, i've found checkbox in the settings)

UPD

today i've rooted my device. now i can't see folders with '.' in the begining. what should i do?
[Android Apps and Games] jruesga:
You need to activate the view hidden files option. Enable prompt or root mode and click in the arrow at the upper right corner, then tap in the eye icon and select the show hidden files option.

will this update be available through f-droid?
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
I just submitted a PR to the F-Droid repos to get the latest update included as well as make it easier to get future updates auto-included.

Edit: My pull request was just merged, shouldn't be long before updated builds hit the main F-Droid repo's: https://gitorious.org/f-droid/fdroiddata/merge_requests/153

[Android Apps and Games] MeetooC:
I am new to android and I just flashed CM9 (Release 8) on Samsung Galaxy S 4G (T959V). and I think CM9 (Release 8) is ICS based ROM...

Just wanted to confirm, if I can install the CMFileManager using attached package?

Can there be any side effects to it if it fails to install and not compatible ?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
The attached file will work with CM9. There won't be any side effects if it fails to install.

[MENTION=3568626]kemonine96[/MENTION] is it possible to get it supported on gb plz?
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Unlikely. I had to back port a number of android APIs to get ICS let alone GB. I also don't have any devices running GB st this point.
[Android Apps and Games] revuwa:
Update to v2.0.0 possible (without big trouble)?

I've realized, there is a newer version (e. x. with secure storage support): https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_CMFileManager/blob/cm-11.0/CHANGELOG.md, and new theme by the way...

It would be really cool, if the f-droid version could be updated, (or the newer code merged / backported / you name it) to the new version.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Thanks for the heads up. If I get some free time I'll look into an update. No promises though.
[Android Apps and Games] revuwa:
I just kindly wanted to say, that I really would love to see an updated version of this great, (IMHO the best) file manager for older Android versions. I don't want to bother you, just wanted to say it again :angel:

Xperia NEO

I have Stock based rom on Xperia neo (ICS 4.0.4)

When trayin to install: Aplication not installed.

When moved to system, app is located in app drawer, but stops working.

any way to get it working?
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Not sure offhand. Likely some kind of error a log cat would expose.
[Android Apps and Games] gouster3:
I have incudled this apk in rom, and reinstalled, seems working, but i cannot change to root acess mode. it is in safe mode with gray text
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Likely due to the su binary being in a location it doesn't expect or some other odd circumstance. It's been over a year since I looked at the code but I remember there are a few conditions for root mode. If you skim the java sources and check logcat you should be able to find the conditions that will allow root access.
[Android Apps and Games] hallstevenson:
No improvement (might be worse, in fact !). When I launched it, my screen dimmed three times before it loaded the /sdcard contents ! I think my screen timeout is set to (30) seconds, so 1-1/2 minutes is how long it took !!
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Was it just the first launch or successive launches as well?

[Android Apps and Games] dcoombs:
I'm on the cm10 nightly-20121115 epicmtd and the file manager can't open a folder that begins with a "$". So I can't use it as I name my main SD card folders like "$My Documents" so it always sorts first. I have not tried file manager before today so I can't tell if this is a new bug.
[Android Apps and Games] HoH4XoR:
Great and simple File Manager :) Thanks a lot for my HTC Desire Z [Viper room] works great :)
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:

[Android Apps and Games] sneakyjoe:
Loved that file manager from cyanogen team. Unfortunately didn't have icons for *.apk files. Still better than FileExpert.
[Android Apps and Games] wcterp:
Any reason we can't just install to /data/app using the regular app install process?
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
If it works via the normal install process go for it. My current device blows up on the normal install process, the only way I was able to get it installed was via the current instructions.

Can you post back if the normal install process works for you?

The /system/app area of the ROM is normally read only and you need root to remount it read/write.

[Android Apps and Games] drraptor:
How can I browse external SD ?
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
The only way I was able to find my external sd card was to turn on the root mode (in the settings) and then back up the directories all the way to / and then navigate to the mount point.

[Android Apps and Games] jruesga:
For all who have slowness issues, i think it will be corrected by change 26388 in cm10 gerrit (2012-11-16), so i think it's in included in your last build. This patch corrects some problems on listing when trying to resolved the user and group and mount point info on non-rooted or non-cm devices. This changes speeded up the listing by caching some resources.

The different between non-rooted or non-cm devices and cm10 versión is the console created. CM10's one uses a shell console, while non-rooted / non-cm devices uses a limited java console, which has a basic subsets of commands (the needed for non rooted devices).

Other patches for non-rooted devices on CM10 gerrit:

* 26657 (2012-11-20) Fix open files with internal editors

On non-rooted and in rooted devices, sdcards (internal and external) can be accessed from bookmarks (the button beside search icon).
[Android Apps and Games] jruesga:
Fixed in change 26742 in cm10 gerrit.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Very nice, I just starred the change, but how do you mark a change as "watched" in gerrit?

Also: Thank you so much for releasing the file manager, it is awesome.
[Android Apps and Games] hallstevenson:
Definitely an improvement ! If you saw a previous post from me, it took over a minute and a half to open previously. Now it takes maybe 3-5 seconds.

[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
I figured root was working with other apps. Has CMFileManager worked with root previously or is it only the newer builds that are causing problems? Can you try the first build and the newest to see if they both don't work or just one of them doesn't and report back?

For those with root issues, can you post the device, ROM (including android version), where the su binary is located (/system/bin, /system/xbin) and which permissions manager (SuperUser / SuperSU) that you are using?

Gerrit changes that are generating the grayed root setting:

26388 fixes for non rooted devices

26658 better root detection handling.

The first change disallow to change to root when the app detect a non-rooted device. The second forces the detection of shell commands instead of use cm vars.

Check res/values/overlay.xml and res/xml/command_list.xml. all command on this files are required for root functions.

Modders should overlay these files for custom non-cm roms
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Thanks for the heads up. I'm trying to keep this build as close to the vanilla sources as possible. In the case of root I'll take a look and see if there is a good way to enable access without breaking too far away from upstream.

Hi

Yes, all files in place.

Files in xbin are linked to busybox, files in bin are linked to toolbox.

I have busybox v1.20.2-Stericson.

No other problems with root.
[Android Apps and Games] Motorhead1991:
Have you tried Superuser instead of superSU?
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
He is using super user according to a previous post. This is something to do with the root handling and lower level commands that the CMFileManager app is calling.
[Android Apps and Games] mixednuts:
Actually, I said I was using Superuser... Publiuss noted SuperSU. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Motorhead1991:
I actually don't have a root problem with the latest update, strangely enough.
[Android Apps and Games] Publiuss:
Hi

Seems strange that there could be inner differences between superuser and supersu.

Here on XDA supersu is considered a superuser++.
[Android Apps and Games] Motorhead1991:
I'm not saying SuperSU vs Superuser is the problem, but it is a diagnostic step. I kinda skimmed the posts, but it looks like users of both binaries are experiencing issues.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
It's not the SuperUser / SuperSU stuff that is the problem. There are some internal commands / variables / etc defined and if any one of those items fail then you won't get root. Right now the code is tuned for CyanogenMod and it seems like alternate ROM's are having problems with getting root.

The dev mentioned two files that have definitions that are required for root operation. The first is a list of necessary commands that must exist on the system (see my previous post with the full list). The 2nd is a big list of operations / root command calls from what I saw in my quick read through. I'm going to be looking closer at the 2nd set of declarations and see if I can pick out what may or may not cause the root failure.

CM File Manager is a feature of CM10, so I guess I'm not surprised by that. This thread is about porting it for ICS. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] jruesga:
Could somebody with the root problem enable the debugging setting and post a logcat? Also, besides superuser or supersu is there an option in developtment settings to enable root for apps, adb, both or none. This setting must be enabled to apps or both.
[Android Apps and Games] Motorhead1991:
Please use Pastebin next time :D. It makes the thread easier to read.
[Android Apps and Games] jruesga:
First at all, thanks for the logcat. I think the problem is now more clear.

The problem is related to the groups command. The command is executed when the console is created if no groups was retrieved from previous id command.

In your case, groups command is returning the next exception:

and a normal result will be

I always used cm, which used a groups version of busybox. Is your groups command linked to toolbox? Maybe the problem is there (not found the correct AID_ROOT from system/core/include/private/android_filesystem_config.h). Strange!!. From this point, the console is not created and the app returns to a normal console, in which groups command works well.

Anyway, i will try to download the @kemonine96 source and post an experimental version, capturing the groups exception (actually no groups information is needed or used). If the patch works then i'll upload it to upstream.

Is it possible to import dark theme directly into the main apk?

Does anybody know about FTP support (maybe in future releases of the original app) ?
[Android Apps and Games] mixednuts:
Unfortunately, I experienced the same root issues after trying the experimental version.

Noticed sometime before that I wasn't able to check for binary updates from the info panel of the Superuser app (touch for updates, but nothing would happen), so I figured that their may be something up. Proceeded to Install the Superuser Update Fixer from the Play Store, forced the fix, and now no more root issues with the file manager. Did notice that after applying the update fixer my Superuser app was downgraded from 3.2 to 3.1.3, and binary from 3.2 to 3.1.1.

Haven't tried the posted version from the OP, after applying the Superuser changes, yet.

So, maybe the root issues that some are experiencing are related to the su managers after all??
[Android Apps and Games] Huexxx:
Hi!

I'm very interested in your app to integrate it on my ICS stock ROM for P970, but unfortunately I'm suffering from the no-root problems.

I've tried both latest and experimental versions, with both Superuser and SuperSU root apps, and no luck.

On Superuser case, I checked that the signatures were correct.

Also, I've checked that the files are where they are supposed to be... but with a exception... latest stericsson busybox DOESN'T include unlzma and unxz aplets... but anyway I've created the symbolic link on /system/xbin to grant the checking... no luck anyway.

I'm right now on SuperSU with all the created links and with experimental version, and here is my logcat:

http://pastebin.com/PT2i5xCP

If you need some specific tests, tell us... Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Huexxx:
To say that IMHO is not a su manager problem... the app should work with both managers and with all versions... in the same way the rest of root-dependant apps flawlessly works in all the cases.

I hope a solution will be found because the app is nice!
[Android Apps and Games] mixednuts:
Just reporting that if a user is running a ROM, where a wonky version of an su manager app and / or binary were cooked-in, it could pose a problem... as it did in my case.
[Android Apps and Games] Huexxx:
Fine with that! But the problem persists in another cases.

New build is up that includes jruesga's latest update.
[Android Apps and Games] jruesga:
This logcat doent'n have the startup of the app (which should contains the raison for the non-root denial). You should kill the app and start again the app. At the top of the logcat with the TAG "FileManagerApplication" should be one of these messages (if something was wrong): "No shell commands.", or "Command %s not found. Exists: %s; IsFile: %s." or "Failed to read shell commands."

I suspect that some of the required commands was not detected. Command should exist and be a file.
[Android Apps and Games] Huexxx:
No need!!! Last version works!!!

Tell me if you anyway need logcats.

Yes. Is a bug introduced with the latest change (now cmfm uses stat command instead of ls command). http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/29849/ patchset correct the problem. Sorry, for the bug i introduced.
