For a while now I've been installing CM10.1 nightlies and never had an issue with Root Explorer. A couple days ago it stopped working and closes anytime I long-press anything. I have attached a screen shot of what it does.
Anyone have any ideas why it would do this? I can open it, give it access, even select boxes and delete stuff, but anytime I long-press anything, it closes. I used it and looked in the system/app folder but I can't even locate the app to try any maybe fix the permissions.
With that said, I have not purchased the app from the market, it was sent to me by a buddy. It's the newest one/update and I've never had a problem until a couple days ago. Any ideas would be great because I'm having issues with File Manager and I'm very familiar with RE now.
TL;DR Root Explorer is "Stopping" any time I long-press anything. Just started a couple days ago. Any ideas?
You can try fixing permissions in recovery.

I tried that as well to no avail. Thanks, though.

Have you tried deleting the app and re-installing by chance?
I did, that didn't work either. I typically can search and almost find a solution to anything but this is getting to me. Thanks Andy.

I had the same problem. It turned out to be a permissions issue. I've got Xposed Framework installed with the Xprivacy module enabled. If you don't configure it to allow the correct permissions, it will crash upon opening. If it turned out to be a different issue, please post what you did to fix it.

I originally thought this was a bug with Android 1.6 but it's occurring on my Captivate as well.
I typically create a couple folders on my main screen to hold currently used apps and games. However, after a random amount of time the folder won't open. If I reboot the device the folders work as they should but some random time later typically one (just now both) will stop opening. I haven't been able to figure out any trigger for it. I'll just wake it up one time and it won't work.
Has anyone else had this issue? ... and was able to fix it?

Are you using LauncherPro? I use LauncherPro and this happens to me as well. Like you, I can only get it to open after rebooting.
Same problem here
Yes I am using launcherpro. However I was using motive before so if it is related to the frontend it must be something that both of them are doing.
How else has experienced this? With or without launcherpro?

This has happened once to me while using launcherpro. The only thing out of the ordinary I was doing was using maps with agps. After awhile I noticed I could no longer slide to different home screens or open folders. Killing everything with ATK didn't fix it either. Worked fine after reboot.

Happended to me several times while using LauncherPro, never while using ADW.Launcher.
Happened here too, using launcherpro
Same Here - Only Reboot Fixes
Exactly the same symptoms, annoying. Not sure if it's LPro or Samsung / Android issue.. hopefully a bug fix soon.
So so far, yesterday I've had the multi-touch keyboard force close maybe 4 times, the drag racing game 8, and a soft reboot. I have not rooted yet... holding off until there is more of a point. Anyone else having issues like this? I have 28 more days to do an exchange, I wanted to see if it's just my phone or not & either way I'll give it another week to see how it fares. Soft reboot occurred at maybe 40 hours or so of run time.
I use Go keyboard which has a far better layout and the swype ability as well, never had a fc. I dont play games. Have gotten a few fc's on various apps for unknown reasons, a few freezes in apps, but it happens so rarely that its not an issue. I did have to do a hard reset the day I got it though, but it was my fault.

try doing a battery pull, not saying it would help but it definitely wouldnt hurt.
Fter rooting FC's also
After rooting (One-click method) and running Titanium Backup Pro to get a good backup of my phone. I now have a similar FC issue. Every time I try to open a contacts details, in the contacts app that starts, it will FC on me. The same thing happened to the phone app, works only if I dial a number from the keypad, click on a recent call in log, baam! FC I had to install GO Contacts/Dialer and they work fine. I tried to clear the cache/factory reset but the issue persists after I just loose all my info.....
Any way to Flash back to stock yet, think its a little to soon to root this racehorse....
I now have 3 apk's in TB that have a line through them. I cannot backup/restore/freeze the apps. Under the lined out app it says "No Backup yet"
com.motorola.blur.contacts.sync.yahoo
com.motorola.blur.provider.linkedin
com.occamy.andriod.motoxmayhem1lite
Anyone that can post these apk's so I could re-install/repair would help me greatly. I had this similar issue on my old cappy and replacing the app fixed it. I think when TB makes a backup and closes the app it some how actually deletes the app and/or corrupts it and then you have to replace it.
Rooting should no effect on the problems you are having. Did you freeze anything with TB, if so unfreeze everything, if not try unistalling it and see if the problems persist
If you are rooted, download ROM Manager and run fix permissions. That should help out with FC's.
Anyone else having this issue? Anyone know what to do? For the last hour this notification in my drop down shows "Facebook (build 141046)" but it doesn't appear to actually be downloading and it won't go away. It's not the app installing an update (or doesn't appear to be). I've "force stopped" it and restarted my phone but it comes right back. Very frustrating.

On a Rogers/AT&T S3 with CM10. I'm seeing the same bug. I've tried uninstalling facebook, reboot, and a clear data on the play store. No luck getting it to go away yet.

Try turning on wifi and connect to a wifi spot it worked for me. no idea what it was but its gone now.
Going to copy my message that I just posted over on android central I was headed here to ask if anyone had anymore info.
"I had this issue as well. Turning on wifi seemed to complete the download and I was prompted to install this new build. Apparently one of the new features as shown in the screencaps above is downloading via wifi. But it looks like the with this build the facebook app will be able to download files without any notification. So basically just like this build began without any action on my part in the future the same will happen only I won't even get an notification. I've looked around for a bit more information and haven't come up with anything. This 'update' seems to be standalone from the actual app, no ability to update from the play store and opening the facebook app doesn't trigger the update screen. so i'm declining to install this for now.
one of the tips on the AC forum to get rid of the notification was to hold the notification and press app info and then force stop download manager, the same with simply force stoping the download manager app if you version doesn't allow for the press and hold. The notifcation apparently comes back later.
Also worth noting this is happening on my Galaxy Nexus running on T-mobile

After some mucking around, this appears to have worked (so far). I also did a clear data on the download manager and play store.
I just long press it, app info, and just clear data. That fixed for me.
Thanks for the responses. I was able to connect to wi-fi at Subway during lunch and immediately it went away. As usual, quick responses from XDA folks and problem solved!

Does anyone know what caused this? It freaked me out at first, but I was glad to find others running into the same problem.
I just went to Downloads and deleted the download.

That worked on my stock Incredible 4G. App drawer> Downloads> check the Facebook download and tap the trash can.
Thanks for the info. Worked for me after four hours of "downloading". It was driving me crazy plus it ate up quite a bit of battery.
Thanks

My gut says that this may well be the source of the issue:
seattletimes.com/html/businesstechnology/2020547460_apusnetflixfacebook.html?prmid=4748
Seems weird that it wouldn't simply push as an app update through the Play Store though.

Got my OPO yesterday, very happy with it, rooted and got Xposed in the first 20 minutes after updating as I have with all my Android devices. Unfortunately I noticed a few problems today.
File manager won't let me move, copy, or create files. It seems to be fine with deleting, but trying any of the former yields a "Requires elevated permission (root)" despite the fact that I have already set File Manager to rooted mode and granted it permission in SuperSU. Other file managers yield the same result.
I can't take screenshots, or let other apps take screenshots. Stock screenshot will give me a notification saying "Couldn't save, storage in use."
Similarly, Snapchat and Keepchat won't let me save my own or others' snaps.
I can restore Helium backups, but I can't create a backup. Made sure Helium has the proper permissions too.
I'm pretty sure this isn't app-related or root-related, but rather something preventing me from writing to /storage/emulated/legacy.
Things I've tried (to no avail):
Fixing permissions in TWRP
Unrooting
Uninstalling Xposed
Factory resetting
Searching for a fix on XDA and the OPO forums, all of which have led me to try the former three solutions which failed.
Also completely unrelated, but sometimes pressing the lock button won't wake my device; the hardware buttons glow as if the device is on, but nothing happens after that and the device won't wake up so I have to reboot. This is a somewhat rare problem however.
Any ideas for either problem? Thanks in advance.
Wanted to create some folders in my App Drawer, I already have a couple, and it has stopped working.
I go to App Drawer and tap Edit, but dragging an app over another does not give me a folder, it does nothing.
Also, I cannot remove apps fom existing folders I created over the weekend.
Any ideas on how to correct this?
I've got a customer over email with the same issue. Saw a few others mention it in the last few days as well. Oddly enough, only in the last few days. Haven't got an S6 myself, so let's see if we can solve it here. (Where I don't have to walk people through every button.)
Have you tried force stopping and clearing the cache for Touchwiz?
Easy Mode is off?

Yes, I tried all that first.
Found out the issue was my edited other.xml file. I added the line to alphabetize the apps in the app drawer. Soon as I took it out, folder creation is now working. Funny thing is, had no issues for the last week after I edited it, until yesterday.
