Updated to 1.5.9. integrated CPU control has been added, and SuperSU has been swapped for superuser by clock workmod. I have also done some work with busybox so Nandroid Manager now works. A new boot animation has been added. Please keep the comments coming guys, and enjoy the latest DS
 
Could someone tell me why Amazon app store is telling me root explorer is not compatable with my phone? I have not had a problem with it in the past.

Has to be an Amazon issue. I've used Root Explore plenty of times. Have you modified the rom any?

No, just changed launchers. I have been using root explorer from the first day I got this phone, I don't understand, maybe it is seeing my phone as not rooted?
 
I got a copy of root explorer from xda, and it installed and is functioning fine. I'm sure its an older version though. Did the version of root explorer than you want to run function with any other roms here?

I assume it's the latest version. When I try to download from Amazon it says not available for download because it is not comparable with my device. I have used it on numerous rom's before without any issues.
 
I'm thinking its an issue with Amazon. When I go to the play store it doesn't say that its incompatible. I download it and try it out bit honestly I don't have the $4 to spare right now.

The installed file explorer should handle most of the functions of root explorer. If its not to your liking I've found that root browser is an excellent app also.

Sorry I couldn't address this issue right now
 
Hmm, I also have a paid, older version of root explorer, But I have the apk on my sd card, Ive installed it on every rom I flash also, never a problem. I haven't flashed the latest update to droidsmith yet, but after my project for tonight, I will flash the newest version, install root explorer, and see what happens.

However, mifile explorer, that comes with most roms now, is very good, just as good IMO as root explorer, and its free. After I spent some time using it, i became real comfortable.
 
I'm back on 1.59 root explorer installed. No problems. Rom is running better than ever. Nice tweaks:D

Latest ES File Explorer is very good and free.

Latest Root File Explorer is excellent and works faster than ES but ES have good enough speed and is integrated with optional good utilities... so is hard to decide.

The reason I posted was because Amazon is saing my device is not compatible with root explorer. Thanks for all the suggestions about file utilities but my point was why all of a sudden my device is incomparable. I wiped everything and reinstalled DS and did nothing but add Amazon account and it did the same thing. It's really not a big deal that I can't get the program, just want to know why.

Very good question, i know how you feel:(
Sadly:o I dont know either:confused:

If you look into some of the roms in the ATRG, I think you might be able to snatch a copy of root explorer out of one. Side load it after that. Works every time.:)

I've noticed some apps that say I have a broken root or something like that...:confused:

I run into quirks like that all the time too. :confused:
Just try and keep caches clean, and reboot once in a while. :)

When flashing lots of roms, Its a good idea to double up on every
Process after several flashes in a row.
Double Factory Data Reset
Super Wipe Tool X2
Clear cache X2
Clear dalvek X2
;) :D :) :p

Quick question why is there in cfg and noop under cpu speed and no quick reboot?
Click to expand...


Cfq and noop are io schedulers. I did not add quick reboot to this rom because quick reboot does not shut down the phone properly. While I have not herd of it happening to anyone in theroy a quick reboot can actually damage the device. It's effectively the same as a battery pull
