I use it every day and had not noticed

Compared to what??
What are U trying to do that makes YOU believe this?
What version are you using?
Because this is the best File Manager on the market.
I have been using Root Explorer since Froyo and never
had a problem.

only reason I rooted was to use root explorer and tibu. root explorer wouldnt even load, or it was so slow I stopped waiting hit the home button.

The only reason it's the most downloaded is because of its name. Es file explorer is a better form of this type of app, and has more features. Also, es's file explorer doesn't have propblems with setting permissions automatically when copy/pasting, unlike root explorer. Just saying.

es explorer will bork your build prop every time though.... just saying....
yes my root explorer is hella slow... on my captivate it was instant, on my sgs3 when i tap, for instance, system folder, i can count to atleast 3 if not 5-6 before it loads the tree... happens on lots of directories... Very annoying

I thought I was the only one.. I'm running SynergyROM currently, but even on other ROMs i noticed a delay when I hit a folder, something i never noticed on any other phone I've had.

Haven't noticed any issues here. I use Root Explorer quite a bit and it's been fast and smooth for me.

I've seen this thread in the Q&A section and posted there but since there's another post here...
I've used Root Explorer for years on my old Droid X phone as well as my Viewsonic G Tablet and Nook Color. It loaded fast and displayed file lists fast on those devices. It does run slow on my GS3. I notice it takes a few seconds to load some directories. I also own a rooted HTC One X and Root Explorer runs just fine on that phone. So, there is something different with the SG3 that makes some apps like Root Explorer run s...l...o...w.

I can't even get it to show any directories. It freezes up every time. I'm running Synergy 1.3.

No problems running Root Explorer on rooted stock F2 rom.

Runs fine on mine.

Es file explorer has an issue with saving build.prop correctly. Which you need to do to get google wallet installed.

my is slow to running syn

synergy 1.3 here, RE is fine, no delays or lags.

For the heck of it I tried installing an APk through astro file manager. It installed no problems.
I do have a completely stock inspire I bought yesterday.
Just thought I would make a quick mention because I kept seeing that side loading was disabled.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Just tried again and no go, app install blocked for security reasons
Don't know what to say then to he honest. I had astro on here to handle SD card stuff. Downloaded the rock player apk from the website. Installed through astro with no problem.
To make sure I wasn't going nuts, because I had rock installed through the market, I uninstalled both installed rock apps, restarted, and installed only the apk via astro. I did download the apk from my phone.
That's how it worked for me.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
try a different apk besides that possibly cache or something affecting it. but I do know I cant and probaly no others can otherwise would be no reason for sideloader.
I'm on the road but ill find somebrandom apk and try it
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I just downloaded pirates vs ninjas and installed via astro again. It'd working. Did you try installing the apk via astro off the SD card?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Yes, the Inspire allows sideloading.
Make sure "Unknown Sources" is checked under the Applications tab in the Settings.
Stock inspire supposebly doesn't. The stock rom doesn't have the unknown sources option. I honestly have no idea why it does on mine.
The backlfip allowed it this way. After the Aria though att locked android from installing anything but off the market.
This shouldn't work on my phone, but it does.

this dude is confused lol check unknown sources! yea well just be glad it works for ya because i dont think it does for anyone else, and yes I tried some through astro thats what i always use. Tried again after reading your post no go.

[Q] Can we replace the vanilla Gingerbread MMS.apk with the HTC one?

EDIT: I realize that I messed up the title. I meant to write if we could replace the current HTC messaging app with the vanilla one.
Title says it all. I've gotten used to HTC's way of things but I'd really, really prefer the vanilla experience. Since we don't have S-OFF or custom AOSP roms yet, can we at least replace the MMS.apk on our Sensations with the vanilla one?
Bump. Does anyone have a clue? It's apparently been done on, for example, the G2. I'd really rather have stock messaging app.

No one??? Maybe I should repost this in Themes & Apps.
No u can't cause it won't stick cause u can't write to system anyway

Thanks for the answer. I guess this is another reason to anticipate S-OFF!
Right.....
Or how about you just install it with a file manager. Then disable the notifications from htc messagin app

I followed these steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11050253&postcount=2 and used the Mms.apk provided there, which should be the 2.3 vanilla messaging app.
Everything went fine when copying over to the phone, etc., but when trying to actually open the app on my phone it force closes from the start. It does show the vanilla mms.apk icon though, the green text bubble with the smiley. If I could get this to stop force closing and actually open/work, I'd be happy!
I'll get you a link to one.

It's not gonna work. U can't "install" it. U have to put it in system
Yeah you have to copy it to your system apps with a file explorer...
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk
If you have Root Explorer or any other explorer, then try to copy and paste it to /system/app/ and reboot the phone. Hope that helps.

Won't work ppl. We don't have perm yet. I don't think it would work even then if I remember correctly
It should work as we have temp root which last till the reboot. And if not then you cant just use adb to either install or push. There should be ways around this. :/

this is a good one, although i do prefer root explorer just because it is simple.
one thing you could try is getting the apk and copy it to your phone.
try fixing permissions. make sure root file explorer is allowed in super user?

Guess it all depends on what you're used to ... can't get much simpler than ES File Explorer, and it's free with frequent updates.
I like root explorer, too

You should just need the app and widget, since it will have sense launcher, im not running a sense rom otherwise I would help. You could download a rom and extract the apk.

Off topic but make sure you set up the app to sync your notes online. I just ran into a problem this morning where the file the notes are stored in got corrupted for no particular reason.

Download any Sense ROM that has those apps you want. Open with your favorite Zip program (7zip, winrar, or even root file explorer on your phone), navigate through the folders to the apk you want, copy/paste or just move it onto your storage card. Install app like any other sideloaded app.
The only possibly issue you might have would be with the libs, but the more experienced guys can help you resolve that, if it even becomes an issue.

[APP][CYANOGEN MOD] File Manager!!! :D

The CyanogenMod team has been making good progress towards the latest, stable version of its ROM - CyanogenMod 10 - but there's still time for more features to be added before its eventual release.
One of those features is a root-enabled file manager, which was announced on the Cyanogen Google+ page a few hours ago. Judging from the screenshots, it looks to blend in seamlessly with other CyanogenMod features and the rest of the Android OS, with a really nice looking interface. (Screenshots Below)
When you're browsing through your files, you will be able to choose between three access modes: Safe mode, Prompt User mode and Root Access mode. As you'd expect, it will allow you to view files on your internal storage device as well
you can get the apk here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?do5c710wiwcxwps
Simply copy to system/app and set permissions to rw-r--r--
Enjoy
Edit: Reread your post.never mind.

Opens up fine but everytime i open the app it searches for the sdcard for quite some time..
Also when i try to switch from Safe Mode to Root Access Mode, after granting the SU permission it goes back to safe mode instead of Root access
This is happening maybe cause its specifically modded for CM9
Edit: tried the modded apk on Numa btw, and the apk posted by the OP worked fine for me on cm10
On OTA ICS I get safe mode only. My phone is rooted. How do I switch to normal mode?
will try tq
