I'm trying to copy a file to the /system/bin directory from the Evo and none of the file managers like Astro are letting me either copy or move the file from the root of the SD card to the /system/bin directory.
Anyone know of any rooted file managers (preferably free) that I can use?
Thank you in advance.
SU File Manager

OI file manager also works
Which is the best file manager on Android platform? Now I use the eFile app, but it has some deficiency (cannot write/delete root files, strange way of sorting the files, etc.). I've tried at least 15 file manager apps, but I haven't find yet the best. I need basic file handling (copy, move, etc), unzip/zip, unrar, modify on root, small size (yeah, X8 with 200 MB phone memory). So which is the best?
Have you tried androzip? It's great for archiving tasks. I'm using it in conjunction with astro.
Root explorer is what you need if you want total control over your entire file system.
There are .apk around here somewhere.
I use ES File Explorer, it knows everything (maybe except unrar) and it's free. You can set it to be a root explorer and you can mount the partitions from within the app

I've tried androzip, ES and Astro, but they cannot extract rar files. This is very important for my work, I always receive emails with rar attachment ( rar is the official compression method in my company)
I've no experience with root explorer, but i will try it

Use unrar Or unrar pro.

Yes, is my favorit also

I love ES File Explorer. It is best for me, to manage files from my computer over W-LAN.
Aksi sometimes i am using Root Explorer.
I would recommend Astro File Manager.
Another vote for Root Explorer.

+1, for all your files' needs
for navigating to my sd card and installing apps I use Astro File Manager, and for system management, permissions... creating folders etc.. I use Root Explorer.
I've tried a few but I use ES File Explorer. Just my preference to manage files with. Well I use that and AndroZip of something needs decompressing. Is root explorer just for your root folder for your phone or does it have access to all.folders? Probably a silly question.

Yes. It gives you access to everything. When in root folder just scroll down to/sdcard/ to access your sd card contents.
Definately Astro for me
The file "android.hardware.usb.host.xml" is damaged/corrupt and cannot be opened. I need to replace it with a new one. Don't know how to do it. Tried with ES file explorer but it didn't work.

I'm looking for this directory but can't find it. All I see is storage/emulated/0 and sub directories there. Where can I find it?

I actually used ES File Explorer File Manager. I was able to get to the root and saw the first data folder, but there was nothing underneath. Not sure if that's the recommended way to go.

Update ES File Explorer
Hey I was wondering if there is any app, or any way to get the images from apps? An example, I wanna make a website wiki of a card game. I need the card images.
Bump!

For some reason some of the APKs do not have all the images in the APK file. I think some of these apps download a whole bunch more stuff after installing T_T. Now I need to find that and see whats up.

Then you can probably find it with a file explorer by app data....
You might need root for this.
I am not sure what i am saying
If you have the apk file you can easily decompress it.
Just rename the apk to zip and open it with winrar.
