Root Explorer Force Close

I regularly use the Root Explorer file manager. However, it always force closes on Android 6. Fresh installation from Play Store makes no difference.
I have the 2gb UK version.
Does anyone else face this problem or have a possible solution?
Thanks in advance!

It did for me as well. I just switched over to using solid explorer. No issues so far.

X-plore and ES File Explorer both working in root mode here as well... Root Explorer is FC'ing too though.

ES Explorer Can't Get Root

I have a G930F and installed TWRP + rooted with no issues. I can run rooted apps off of it as well like Titanium, Greenify, CF.Lumen, etc...
Although when I try the Root Explorer in ES File Manager, it keeps on telling me "Sorry test failed. This feature cannot run on your device". It doesn't look like it's even asking for root permissions. I tried different combinations of installing/uninstalling/rebooting and they don't seem to help. Any thoughts on what to do next?
Or if this is unfixable, any suggestions on what other file manager to use? Features I'm looking for include:
- Standard search/sort/filter/copy/cut/paste/delete
- Root Explorer
- FTP/SFTP support
- Configurable shortcuts/favorites
Thanks
Edit:
For anyone with the same issue, here's the answer:

Hello, the quick fix for this right now is to flash an earlier build of supersu. V2.65 or v2.68.

I had the same problem I ended up just installing Root Explorer, too bad because I paid for ES File Explorer Pro too. If you figure it out let me knwo

I'd suggest solid explorer, very similar to es explorer but none of the app scanning and permissions crap that's recently been introduced in es.

Or just thinking out loud, would it be possible to add it to SuperSU's list without it requesting for access?

Your first problem is that you're using ES File Explorer.

I used to have an HTC M7 with the ARHD rom, and the rom came with it by default so I got used to it. I have to admit that there are some things I wish it would do that it doesn't. But I would say about 90% of what I need is available there.
But since I am starting fresh with a new phone, I'm open to suggestions if you have another root file explorer in mind. Pretty much the only thing outside of the standard functions that I need is sftp support, so I can copy/paste files to/from my mac.

Amaze or Solid Explorer is good. ES used to be good but it turned the way of Cheetah Mobile apps and started adding useless **** to their app.

If you google ES file explorer apk old version theres a website that has every ES file explorer apk from day 1. when the version changed to 4.X.X is when they added all the useless crap and adds.

lol yeah all of those sd card analysis and home page and stuff that I don't even use. I tried Solid Explorer, that thing looks nice. no extra fluff and just has what I'm looking for for a file manager
Do you guys know of any other file managers that allows for editing the DateModified? I know Total Commander has one, but I'm not digging their interface.

What do you mean by 'in system apps'?

Assuming you ready had Google app already pre Installed in system, if you manually installed the pixel launcher the. It's placed in data instead of system. Usually if you flash it, it's placed in system. If it let's you uninstall it then it would be concerned a data(user app) and not system

I manually installed the pixel launcher. I had it working while on Oxygen OS 8. But it stopped working when I updated to Oxygen OS 9. Can you please guide how to move it to System from Data?

(i recommend disabling ur default launcher so if an error happens you have access to a different launcher(example OP^ launcher)
Yes I just tested it and it worked for me, I have root explorer as my file manager (u need root fyi)
You can use a different root file explorer app(whatever suits you,
1. just to be safe backup ur launcher in Titanium Backup.
2. go to /data/app and locate the folder come.google.nexus..... (i forget the rest of the folder name)
3. cut the folder once you locate it and move it to /system/priv-app/ and paste the folder
Make sure permissions are rwxr-xr-x(when I pasted mine I just did a reboot and it worked fine.)
4. reboot phone!

Just curious - Will rooting the phone wipe the data?

Yes because you need to unlock the bootloader for that. It will wipe everything on your phone. There's a great guide in the news & dicussion forum (pinned). Feel free to follow it.

If you are not a root user it can cause more problems than needed, do you have Google Hangouts? I can help you one on one better there!

Root it's self doesn't wipe ur phone, it's unlocking nthe bootloader (which is required to root or add twrp recovery)

Q beta 3 and sandboxed file explorer apps: and now?

Is there something I can do to access my storage memory? I don't want an iPixel...

You need to allow permissions to storage for the app in Privacy settings
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

disable install unknown apps permission ?

Sorry, but this didn't work. Try googling new "scoped storage" permission...
Partial solution is to use Files by Google beta app (not the stock file app)...

I am seeing the same on Solid Explorer on Beta 3. I have revoked and approved Storage permission and it doesn't do anything. May an update Dev might have to make?

File Explorer by xiaomi works.

Solid Explorer works fine.
Sent from the Pixel 3

After I disabled the install apps permission Solid Explorer works fine again.

Update: Files by Google not working anymore

Update 2: Files by Google working again, Solid Explorer doesn't work anymore.

How install com.android.documentsui?

Any ideas?

The DocumentsUI module controls access to specific files for components that handle document permissions such as attaching a file to an email. This module is updatable, meaning it can receive updates to functionality outside of the normal Android release cycle.

Using an app called" System app safe remover". never mind i solved my problem by flashing recovery ota.thankyou for trying help me.

You have to root for this
1. Install any root browser (x-plorer , cx file manager etc.
2. open /system/priv-app/DocumentsUIGoogle
3.copy all apk files to any internel storage folder
4. Install all these apk files at once using any split apk installer ( Recommended -com.smartpack.packagemanager )
download link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartpack.packagemanager
5.Reboot
Note :- if you are unable to find these apk files then use attached files
