I know it's not everybody's favourite file explorer anymore but I still use it. I am not concerned about it collecting data as I have it blocked by firewall.
One thing that has happened recently is that it won't enable root explorer on my shield og tablet. It says it fails every time. I click the toggle and it gives me the message 'sorry test failed. This feature cannot run on your device'.
My device is rooted and the free version of ES can successfully explore root, but I don't like that version as it is too bloated. I have emailed the dev but that was a week ago with no reply. It did this on the 4.2 and I have just clean installed 4.3 and it still gives me the error.
Anybody else still use ES Pro, do you have this problem? Is there a work around? Any suggestions?

Hmm! Thanks for the reply. I take it you use the pro version and the toggle to explore root switches over fine? Also which room are you using? It used to work on my device but it stopped on 4.2. Even after a clean install of 4.3 it still gives me the error.
Can anyone confirm this on the original tablet. Either on 4.2 or 4.3.

Weird now mine has broke too, and yes it was the pro version, it worked fine this morning and so I tried the free version also doesn't work. So I think I need root browser too now or maybe solid Explorer

You definitely have root right? ? The free version works for me but the pro version stopped. I have solid as well, which I currently use for root browsing (because I have to) , but I prefer to use ES as I just find it better.
It has crossed my mind that this is some sort of underhanded move from ES to push people to the free version, as they haven't updated the pro version in quite a while. Hmmm!
Sent from my SHIELD Tablet using Tapatalk
Also I noticed the feedback option built into the pro app has been deactivated and will fail everytime I send a ticket (I unblock from firewall when doing this). Which is a tad weird. Dev also doesn't reply to emails. All indicating that maybe the pro app is abandoned.

For some reason it just doesn't ask for superuser permission. Clicking on the root toggle should trigger this, but it simply does not. Why?
Sent from my SHIELD Tablet using Tapatalk
Just checked through my Supersu logs and ES pro has not once ever requested permission. It seems to be something wrong with the app and not my device. Can anybody shed any light on this?
Sent from my SHIELD Tablet using Tapatalk
The problem lies with ES File Explorer - this has been covered in the SuperSU threads numerous times.
The ES developers have to correct their code to properly work with current versions of SuperSU - but haven't as of yet.
See compatibility notes from Chainfire: https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/N6EARb8LF3d
With all the bad news about ES, I've dropped it and moved on (FX File Explorer for me) as have many others. Otherwise, install an older version of SuperSU (pre v.2.69).

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.

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.

Make sure you try the landscape mod. There are two versions of mod.
I just realized oringinal poster is rooted. I'm on stock and don't have a problem on tf. I would note that my two tablets that are rooted with custom roms do not work with current hulu app. Don't know why. Also i used the landscape mod for my large tablets including tf but i needed the other app for nook tablet. Another nice thing with this mod is no nag to update. On my nook tablet i used an older version of hulu app and i always had update nag.

I have done research and I think it is due to either Ad block, or hulu detects that your phone is bootloader unlocked or rooted and doesn't work.
I am trying to figure out a fix or workaround at the moment and if it's relevant I am using ViperXL ROM 1.2.4 (Latest)
If it's a question/help related thread, it belongs in Q&A. Thank you.

This is for you Titanium Backup users. I would not restore data, this is a new version of android.
For TiBu fix
Go: menu > preferences > backup folder location
Click: Detect > Whole Device
Change location to "/storage/emulated/legacy/TitaniumBackup"
(if you have no backups saved to SD, hit Back nav key until you can select this directory manually)
IF asked if you'd like to move files to new directory, select NO
You then can restore apps.
On TiBu's Twitter they released a beta which supposedly fixes inability to uninstall apps via TiBu, but I haven't tested this

You should try it yourself, make a backup in case that hdmi doesn't work but if it does you stay in Android 4.3.

Hi guys,
Iam trying to get the screen mirroring enabled on myAXX but it turns out that the Mirror Enabler app only works on KitKat. I am not willing to give up my root access since alot of my daily apps use it. What options do i have?
PS: I have disabled the apps on the droid that are used for OTA updates.
Thanks for reading.

I think as far as full display mirroring goes, you're outta luck.
A lot of third party apps can mirror content (photos, videos, audio, etc) to a Chromecast on any +4.0 device.
Also, you are aware that there is a root method for 4.4 right? (not the latest ota, and still not compatible with the mirroring)
Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/har...experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193
That worked on my rooted max, should work on yours. I'm on 4.4.4 rooted and unlocked bootloader. I would imagine it works on all as long as you have root.
If not mistaken due to build prop data being changed with out WP being disabled you lose it working after reboot.
I can confirm full mirroring with audio does work with 4.4.4.
I too am unlocked and rooted.

True, if write protection is not disabled it would need to be ran again after reboot. But honestly, how often do people reboot their phones? Personally the only time I reboot mine is when installing an xposed module or something like that which requires reboot.
Thanks for the reply. I was sort of expecting that ..
With regards to the knowledge of a 4.4 update that retains root, no I wasn't aware of that. I've had a look in the forum and there doesn't seem to be any pros or cons related to this update so i'll be sticking with what i have working. Besides, nowhere does it say how to update to 4.4 while keeping root.

You can update to 4.4 19.5.3 and still retain full root and Wp off. That will put you in the same spot you are in now but with working cast. I made a guide for this wayy back when here it is

Thanks for the info but didn't the 4.4 build have the potential to brick your phone? I vaguely recall moto pulling an update from ota, can't remember if it was 4.4 though. Furthermore, are there any issues with this build, reboots, poor battery, screen issues and the likes.

That is odd. Which 4.4 build are you on? If 19.5.3 try it with 19.6.3. I don't use the app myself so I'm just guessing.
I do know with root on 4.4.4 it does work. Even though I am unlocked as long as you only do a soft reboot it should work. Not sure but it may need to have the update Chromecast app installed as well that has the cast screen option in the settings. Mirror app prior to v4 required sqlite root since it changes a value in the build prop if I remember right.
But I maybe of on that part been a bit since I did mine back on version 2 I think it was. Any how I do know the droid ultra and x line it does work.

Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Free mobile app
No 4.4.2 software for max unless it's a ROM. Latest is 4.4.4.
CC software for the phone is 1.7.4 to mirror. Had to get a down load from the other thread or in that section. Should be able to get it to mirror I would think before updating to 4.4.4.
To keep full root with w/p off you need to be unlocked and replace the recovery with a custom one if you goto to 4.4.4 at this time.

Still digging
Chromecast uses WebRTC to stream content using VP8 and H.264 video compression. Can't find any documentation with reference to VP8 encoding being supported by the MSM8960DT, the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro, which is the same as the SoC found in the 2013 Nexus 7 (has official screen mirroring support).
One you unlock (correct me if I'm wrong, but I understood you are trying to get unlock code), you can OTA up to 4.4.4 or even install it via TWRP as I did and still have root. Enabler works on mine, 4.4.4 unlocked/rooted/wp off.
