Hi all, i followed the easyroot system and everything went fine. The flex 2 h955 v15c is properly rooted. Now....tried to use es file explorer to uninstall system apps as i usually do with the other phones but here it is not possible. System apps wont uninstall...so...you are not able to get rid of play books...play games...google+...and other ununwanted apps (at least for me). The question is...if i am rooted why can't i uninstall system apps as i did for years. Does anybody know another way ? Thank you and merry Xmas
After first boot after rooting, open superSU and update it, then reboot and try to use root explorer in ESFile Explorer and you will se popup to alow root acces, grant acces then try to uninstall system apps.
Hi thank you for your suggestion but i did everything you said. Actually the es file explorer is in the list of the superuser app. As a proof of this i can access to the uninstall system apps screen. Now..when i try to uninstall it says that it is imposiible
Did you set r/w permisions on system folder in es file explorer? Select Root Explorer in ES and then Mount R/W, then give RW to /system... If this doesn help, than I don't know
Did everything but nothing changed. Thank aagain for all your help. I cannot even uninstall "normal" apps..not only system apps. I tried with other uninstalling applications but with the same result.
Clear permisions in SuperSu for ES file explorer, clear cache and data for ES, and uninstall, then install again and grant root acces. Dont cost you anything to try

Hi guys, I'm trying to follow the guides to prevent my wallpaper from changing that need to navigate to /data/data/com.android.settings/files by ES File Explorer or Root Explorer.
However, I couldn't find anything from /data/
Mine is 6.2.1, Burritos rooted.
Please help, thanks
(repeat of posted reply to same question in the How to Apply Wallpaper thead)
I use ES File Explorer 1.6.1.0 from the Market (not Amazon because last I checked they were a version or two behind)
Then go into settings a scroll to bottom and select ROOT EXPLORER and when asked I think I selected the CM option (and for good measure select MOUNT FILE SYSTEM, although I don't think that is required unless you are working in the /system/ folder).
Now you should see the contents of the /data/ folder...
Hope this helps.

I can't select ROOT Explorer with ES File Explorer
Hmmmm........got nothin'....
Are you sure you are looking in /data and not /sdcard/data?
What are you using Root Explorer or ES File Explorer?
If you're not fully rooted, even if you temp root with burrito root and set system to r/w, /data will show as empty unless your file explorer had been granted su permissions (which you'll need full root and super user app for). Found that out the hard way today myself.
Damn you Swype!
I had the same problem when I rooted the first time. I was following SuperOneClick instructions until I read it wasn't working with the latest stock update. Mid-root process, I switched to Burrito Root and completed the process. When I went to make mods in /data/data/... and saw nothing, I did a complete system restore and re-rooted with Burrito Root from the beginning. Everything's been fine since, including /data/data/.
After reading the post above, I guess my issue was either a botched root or something awry with my su install.
Hi guys,
The rom I use (Endymion) comes with Superuser, but I changed to SuperSU. Everything works fine, but now I'd like to clean up and uninstall the old superuser system app. Titamium Backup is too scared to do so, so I have to do it manually.
I deleted all updates to Superuser (like u uninstall non system apps) and renamed Superuser.apk in /system/app/ to Superuser.apk.old. Now it seems to be gone but are there additional files I shall and can safely remove (rename it first and test) for Superuser clean up purposes (R/W rights, Root Explorer or adb shell are manageable for me)?
Thx,
Kwisatz
you could also delete the app's folder in /data/data, it should be something like com.k(something).superuser
According to the How To for One XL guide that was posted, after rooting I should be able to remove the ATT bloatware by simply deleting the listed apps under system/apps.
Using ES File Explorer, I'm not allowed to delete, is there a reason or am I missing a step?
Thanks!
Not sure about es file explorer, but root explorer loads system as read only by default. Check to see if there's an option to mount as read-write.

In ES File Explorer, under Settings, you need to check both "Root Explorer" and "Mount File System" near the bottom of the options.
But I never use ES for deleting bloat. I just use Titanium Backup.

or just flash the cleanRom lite from the developer thread ... ( if you are bootloader unlocked )
Thanks guys, got it to work, just had to mount the root.
I would suggest using Titanium Backup. If space used is not a problem, you can simply "freeze" them so they disappear or you can simply uninstall them.
I have installed this File Manager on my OnePlus One rooted and whit SuperSU 2.02 installed. On Setting i have activated the Root Explorer but no REQUEST appears from SuperSU.. it's normal ?
Whit the "Root Explorer" disactivates i can continue to navigate to root folder after click on "/"........ i thinks or it's a BUG or somewhere it's been crash on my SuperSU......
For Example i have installed other File Manager like Ghost File Manager and the Root Permission as been granded by SuperSu at every started.... like the original CM File Manager every time i start SuperSU give the access but no Es File Manger... WTF ?
Its normal, Root Explorer will ask for su access when you go into /system/ and press Mount r/w, a SuperSU option will appear afterwards.
To add to ZephiK, you don't need root access to browse the root folders. Only when you want to edit those files do you need the access.

Unless you want to browse /data, then you need root access.

i thinks this "problems" like a bug it's been fixed in the recently updated version...... now the root access has beeb garanteed immediately at start of es file explorer..
Hello everyone, i have a rooted phone GT-I8262 and i used to delete the system apps before by ES Explorer or root explorer, though i'm now facing a problem with a file that i can't delete, it says you have no permission to do it, this app is called (DU battery saver) each time i uninstall it from my phone and restart the phone, it shows me that black screen after the boot logo which is (android is upgrading) so after i open the phone, i see that (Du battery saver) is installed once again.. i had to go to the system files apps folder and couldn't find it there, so i found it in another directory in DATA/APP folder, so i tried to remove it by 2 kind of file explorers like ES and root explorer and after giving them the permission of root. but i couldn't remove it, is there any way to remove such protected apk files?
please help, thanks
