User Reviews
This is the ONLY app that could actually see and delete a failed download that no other Android file manager or clearer app could find, even with the option to show hidden files turned on. The file was only viewable in Windows Explorer with the Android device connected to a PC, but Windows could not delete the file due to alleged write protection. It was clearly a corrupted file, and after trying numerous other Android apps, I hesitantly paid for this one, assuming it would be like all the rest. But it found the file and deleted it, and that alone was worth the money.
Simple and clean and I have purchased it a few times on different stores, but at this point its becoming more limited relative to other explorers. The SMB transfers are the slowest around (20MB/s vs 115MB/s on others, or vs ftp at 250MB/s (my network limit)), also cannot connect to FTP. I would purchase a Root Explorer 2 if it came out with the above.
not sure if you can do this or not but any chance when I rename a file by default can you highlight the text before the extension? ie picture.png it highlights picture by default so I can paste text to rename it?
Got a rooted phone? You need this! Edit: Have had to reduce my previous 5 star rating. Unfortunately, since Android 10, RE no longer has the ability to delete or rename system files. This was the main reason (for me) to have the app. In fact, due to Google's arrogant restrictions - all the while claiming 'user safety', I no longer root my phones. Consequently, I now no longer have the need for Root Explorer. A great pity, it was at one time absolutely essential for a rooted phone IMHO.
