Product Description
Product Description
The multi-select mode efficiently compounds tasks
Root Explorer is the ultimate file manager for root users and non-root users alike. With this skillfully designed app loaded on your smart phone you will be able to access the whole of Android's file system. Plus, if you've gained super user permissions through the process of rooting your phone, you can even drill into the elusive data folder.
While not needed, rooting your phone unlocks Root Explorer's true potential
It's an easy way to work with the files on your Android using a familiar graphical interface. You'll appreciate how smooth and fast Root Explorer allows you to search through your phone's files via file and folder thumbnails.
Powerful Options
If you're curious about when your files and folders have been accessed, their timestamps, permissions, and sizes are displayed next to their thumbnails. This is true even for Android files and folders that are normally hidden from view in other apps. You can also remount any folder with read/write capabilities.
Other highly useful Root Explorer features include a text editor, a multi-select option, and the ability to execute scripts. You are also able to search efficiently through the depths of your Android's data while having the ability to remount files, alter their permissions, and create bookmarks. You can even use Root Explorer to send files via email or Bluetooth.
New features and enhancements include:
•Tar/Gzip archive support: view, extract and create
•Support for large SQLite databases
•Improved speed when launching images using the Gallery
•Display mount button for more read-only folders

Amazon Verified Purchase
program is awesome update suport SUCKS!!!!!!!#!!####
I took a chance and used amazon to download a few programs rather than Google. Now there is an update taking root explorer to 2.15 IIRC which I keep getting notiffied by Google.about but nada on amazon about it. since I choose to go thru amazon I can not update thru Google. Now I am stuck with an outdated version and no updates. I have emailed amazon multiple times.about it over the last two weeks and have not gotten a single response. If this is the service I get from amazon I will not be using them going forward. Google can have my money and buisness which is already more streamlined. I really wanted to use amazon but they get an F. from me on support for this.

Unable to update as I bought this from Amazon. Going forward Amazon purchases for apps will require 2nd thought. Not fair as I have paid for this.

Phone:
Droid X
Pros:
- Does what it's supposed to
- batch, "multi-select"
- copy, paste
- create new folders
- bookmarks
- extract, move
- create new files
- Works extremely well
- Best file manager for android
Cons:
- Price is a little high
Should you buy?
Are you a root user? Than yes. Way better than the stock file manager app. Obviously be careful, don't want you running off and deleting system files, now that you can. But for anyone who wants a lot of control over their phone, this app is essential. If you're a casual user, than the $4 is a little high. Otherwise, what are you waiting for.
