What is Reddit's opinion of Root Explorer?

Been using it since Android started, love it.

Network functions work great on Phones & AndroidTV.

Also, if you're not rooted, Explorer is the same app without Root access for free, networking functionality included/works too!

Root Explorer is for me the best app for that situation. I was using a few others before I came across RE its such a nice app and is full of features. I've even managed to modify my build.prop with it to remove some things and add other. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer

Personally, I use Moon+ Reader for reading e-books on my tablet, but I do not use it for organizing them. Rather, what I do is I use the actual filesystem to organize my books. I organize them on my computer in whatever layout I want (e.g. with all of the books in a particular series in the same folder), and then I use syncthing to sync the files between my computer and my tablet (which is something I find useful to be doing with my mobile devices in general anyway). That way, I can do all of the file organization on my computer rather than my tablet, and my e-book files don't just live on my tablet. Then when I want to read a book, I use a file browser app (specifically root explorer, but there are a variety of file browser apps on Android to choose from) to actually navigate to whichever book I want to read and tap on it to open it in Moon+ Reader.

So, that's what I would suggest doing, but obviously, you'll have to figure out what works best for you. Either way, I can't help you with how Moon+ Reader organizes books, because I actively avoid that functionality. It's not functionality I even want in an e-book reader.

Definitely not ES File Explorer. If it still works, I've used Root Explorer for years. Caveat... needs a rooted device, but they have another file explorer which doesn't require root.

I use the original Root Explorer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer

Any file explorer which supports root should work though, even in the default CyanogenMod one root access can be enabled.

Download the app Root Explorer.

Then in the app go to the left tab and navigate to the top level. Navigate to the folder System and build.prop should be there. Mount R/W and long-press build.prop and hit the menu to open it in text editor. Scroll to the bottom and add the line

net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

Then hit the menu to select save & exit. Restart your phone and you should be able to use the wifi hotspot from android's settings! :D

I've used Root Explorer since way back when Android wasn't so effectively closed source by effect of the locked bootloaders that each phone manufacturer utilizes these days. It still gets the job done, tho lacks a solid interface for storage management in general.

Personally, I use Moon+ Reader to read books but never use it to find them. Rather, I organize my books in the filesystem in the way that I want and then navigate the filesystem with a filesystem browsing app (Root Explorer specifically, but others should work too). I then just tap the file that I want to open, and since Moon+ Reader is associated with .epub files, it's the app that's then used to open and read the book.

And since I use syncthing to sync files between my tablet and my computer, I can even organize my files (books included) on my PC instead of having to do it on the tablet.

If the game works then the folder must still be there. Normally Android file managers will only hide folders which begin with periods, but I suppose it's possible it's being hidden some other way. I suggest trying a better file management app, such as Root Explorer or its free version - these have view settings that specifically reveal hidden files.

Root Explorer (doesn't actually require root for most functions) and a windows Shared Folder on same wifi network would allow you to browse and download files from your PC from your phone.

I actually currently use Memu, I swapped from Nox quite some time ago, but the process is about the same. Memu just hides their launcher somewhere else.

Root explorer can change from read only, unless they some how hard locked it. It might be a paid app but they have a free lite one called Explorer. You can try that one too.

Try something like Root Explorer and use the search function in the hamburger menu.

Chances are it's in the internal storage folder /storage/data or in the root folder /data/data

Edit: I found this image on their website of where it should be

Your title asks a question but the body has the opposite. My guess its [solved] and your edit removed original body?

SpeedSoftware Root Explorer just as a way to let folks know of an alternative

IDK how SE works but thats not how the FM I use works at all.

SpeedSoftware Root Explorer is what I use and what Id recommend to folks. You open the folder you want to delete or has files in it you want to delete long press select multi and mark every file/folder for deletion then hit delete.

Worth noting that you won't be able to bind your account to LINE later, and thus can't ever recover your account this way. Thanks for the guide though!

And here's the playstore link to Root Explorer (paid): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer&hl=en

And ES File Explorer (free): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&hl=en

EDIT, While I'm at it: You actually can re-roll and use a LINE account (assuming you don't mind losing any contacts you have in LINE.) Go into the LINE app and under settings there's an option to delete your account along with app data associated with the account. If you do that and start LINE over, it will let you create a new LINE account with your same phone number very quickly. Then you can go back to Stardust Shooters and it will start you with a new account when you choose to login with LINE. I haven't tried that method in addition to deleting the files you mentioned beforehand but I think it might work together. Otherwise it skips the tutorial along with the first free gacha pull, not sure if it does this with your method.

...you could just root and delete any of the stuff you don't want with a file browser that can gain access to the system partition. An example being Root Explorer

In general, I would recommend a normal Android tablet, not something like a Kindle Fire. If you're going to use a tablet, you want something open where you can mostly install what you want to on there. If you're interested in e-ink, and you primarily use Amazon for e-books, then getting a Kindle e-ink device can make sense, but otherwise, don't buy any kind of Kindle. And honestly, I'd recommend against buying e-books from Amazon in general, but that's a whole other discussion. Kobo and Nook both sell their own e-ink devices though, and there are some third party ones.

Personally, I would recommend against e-ink, because e-ink devices are not as responsive as tablets, they don't have color, they don't have enough disk space (especially if you're reading manga and want to store your collection on there), and it can be a pain to get anything on them which doesn't come from the store they're tied to. E-ink does have the advantage that it's easier on the eyes and has better battery life, but personally, I find that low brightness settings and dark-mode work well enough to make reading on a tablet screen tolerable, and the better battery life isn't worth the other problems.

I currently use a Samsung Galaxy Tab S4. The latest and greatest in that line would be the Galaxy Tab S7. But regardless, it has a good screen size (10.5 inches and a resolution of 1600 x 2560), it has decent internal storage (mine has 256 GB IIRC, but the S7 will go as high as 512), and it has a slot for an external SD card. So, it has way better storage than you'll find for an e-ink device, and it's a good size for reading. So, personally, if I were to get a new tablet right now, it would be a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7, but what makes the most sense depends on your price range and how much you care about screen size or storage capacity.

In terms of how I manage my books, all of my books are DRM-free (either because they came that way, or I stripped the DRM from them), so they're not locked into any e-reader app, and I'm able to organize them all using the filesystem on my computer. I then use syncthing to sync the data on my tablet with my computer, so the tablet has the books in the same directory structure. I then use a file browser to navigate my library (specifically Root Explorer, but pretty much any file browser should work), and I open a book from there and read it in Moon+ Reader (though there are plenty of other e-reader apps to choose from on Android). I find that whole workflow to be far better than what would be possible with an e-ink device or a locked down tablet like a Kindle Fire.

Root Explorer in my opinion is the better option

Root explorer. Used since released, I like how simple and functional it is. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer

I recommend Root Explorer. Very stable and powerful solution without any bloat: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer

Root Explorer is very good. Simple and clean and it can access SMB file shares

I've been using Root Explorer for a long while as my file browser and it has always worked beautifully.

I don't know, we'll see after November I guess. For now I switched to Root Explorer.

A lot of it comes down to whether you want to read with an e-ink device, a PC, or with a tablet / phone. I think that most people read with either an e-ink device or with their tablet / phone, but everyone has different preferences.

e-ink comes with the advantage of being easier on the eyes, because it's more like paper (i.e. it's reflective instead of shining a light in your eyes), and it has much better battery life than a tablet or phone does. However, e-ink devices are typically B&W only (and even the new ones with color have a much smaller color range than a normal display), their displays are typically far less responsive than the screen on a tablet, and they have very poor storage in comparison to many tablets, which isn't as big a deal for normal books, but it's terrible for manga, since those can be several hundred MiBs in size per volume.

Personally, I use a Samsung Galaxy Tab S4, which has a 10.5 inch screen (1600 x 2560), 256 GB of internal storage, and a microSD expansion slot. So, it's a good size for reading, and it has good storage (plenty of e-ink devices only have about 32 GB and no expansion slots). I had used an e-ink device from Kobo previously, but I found the downsides to be too great and switched.

As for how to get the e-books on your device, if you use the app that's associated with the store (or in the case of an e-ink device, unless it's a 3rd party device, it's associated with the store that it comes from), it's very straightforward, but then the books are locked into the app. On the other hand, if you buy the books DRM-free (which you can typically only do when a publisher sells them directly), or if you strip the DRM off, then you have normal e-book files (typically epub) which you can copy around and read in whatever reader you want. And in general, unless you can buy a book DRM-free, I would strongly advise that you buy it from a store whose DRM can be removed, because if you don't have DRM-free copy of every book that you buy, then if anything happens to the service that you bought them from (or to your account for that service), then you'll lose access to every book you bought. Some people don't care, but personally, I find that risk to be utterly unacceptable. I want to be able to have a reasonable guarantee of being able to read any book I buy now 20+ years from now just like I could do with a physical book.

Personally, I strip the DRM from all of the books I buy and then organize them on my PC in the file layout that I want. Then I use syncthing to sync the files on my tablet with those on my PC so that I can duplicate the entire folder structure with my books on my tablet. Then, on my tablet, I use a file browser (specifically Root Explorer) to navigate the file system to whichever book I want to read and open it in an e-reader app (specifically Moon+ Reader). In the case of manga, I actually go to the effort of extracting the images from the epub files for, turn them into cbz files, and then read them with Perfect Viewer instead, but they work just fine as epubs (I just see no point in leaving them as epubs when they're just a list of images, and having a separate file format makes it easier to use a different e-reader for manga than for a normal book. I expect that most people just use a single e-reader app for both, but I prefer different settings for regular books and manga, so separating them like this works better for me.

As for where to buy the e-books, the typical options are Kobo, Amazon, Google Play, Nook, and Bookwalker. It's generally best to avoid Bookwalker, because their DRM has not been cracked, so anything you buy from them is stuck in their ecosystem. However, you can remove the DRM from the other four, though Nook is worse in the sense that it's much harder to remove its DRM than it is for the other three. Amazon is best avoided, because they use their own ebook format which restricts the size of image files (meaning that typically, the image resolution is reduced and/or higher compression is used, so the image quality is lower), and they've actually been removing LNs and manga that they don't like for whatever reason (typically related to any level of nudity in the images, though they're not consistent about it). In j-novel.club's case, they've actually been stripping out images from their books to have them be on Amazon (though at least with them, you can buy their books from them directly, DRM-free, as long as you have a subscription), so you're actually getting an edited version of the book on Amazon (though the text itself is the same). If you do use a Kindle, and you buy books from elsewhere, you're forced to convert them to work with Kindle (and sideloading books on a Kindle is apparently a bit of a pain), and if you buy books from Amazon, you're forced to convert them to read them with other software (though the books need to be DRM-free to do any of that converting). The other stores mostly use epub files (which is an open format), so they're much more interchangeable (at least as long as the DRM has been removed).

So, I'd suggest that you either buy from Kobo or Google Play. For whatever reason, Kobo typically has the highest resolution images (even though it uses the same file format as Google Play and Nook, and the image size shouldn't be restricted on any of them), and sometimes, Google Play will give you pdf files for manga instead of epub files (so, personally, I wouldn't buy manga from them if I could avoid it). That being said, in a few cases, with the more risqué manga (e.g. from Seven Seas' Ghost Ship imprint), volumes have either not been allowed on Kobo or have been removed, so they're not perfect in that regard (though they've been way better than Amazon about it, and no one has been uploading edited versions of their books to Kobo). AFAIK, the only LN series that's had any issues on Kobo was How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord (there were complaints about the nudity in the images in the preview), and JNC fixed that by moving the images from the front to the back, which unfortunately, they're planning to do with their books in general going forward (in part, because people have complained about the images in the front containing spoilers). So, Kobo has had some issues with content removal, but it's been minimal, whereas Amazon has been pulling a lot of content. AFAIK, neither Google Play nor Nook has removed any content though.

Personally, I buy most of my e-books from Kobo (they primary exceptions being for publishers like j-novel.club who will sell their books DRM-free directly), though with some of the Ghost Ship stuff that isn't on Kobo, I've gotten it from Nook in spite of the more annoying DRM (since unlike Google Play, you get an epub file, whereas Google Play was selling pdfs for those manga).

If Bookwalker's DRM were removable, then it would probably be the best place to buy LNs and manga digitally, since it's owned by Kadokawa, and there should be zero risk of them ever pulling anything due to it being too risqué or whatnot, but since their DRM is not currently removable, IMHO, buying from them is unacceptable.

Does the job for me.

There's an easy fix for running Samsung Health on rooted devices.

Download a root file explorer (such as Root Explorer, Root Browser or ES File Explorer).
Open the root file explorer and go to the /system folder.
Open the file named build.prop in text editor
In the build.prop file look for ro.config.tima=1
Change this line to ro.config.tima=0, simply changing the 1 to a 0
Reboot phone
Run Samsung Health
