Root explorer free alternative?

I want to be able to move an apk into the system app folder and root explorer has been the only app that allows me to do that but I wanna do it for my gf's fascinate and I don't wanna buy it again. So far I tried androzip but it doesn't utilize root privilege and super manager wont let me open a zip for free (stupid). Any suggestions? Any help is appreciated

Not that i know of.
While i don't encourage pirating, i bet you could find a root explorer download if u do some googling.

AndRoot or Super Manager, got both free from the market. Android optimizer has a file manager that works as well. Free in market too.

Why don't you just log into your Google acct and redownload it on her phone

Just bluetooth the app over to her phone. As long as you stop right there then its all personal use. And if she passes it on....withhold love.

Why open a .zip? Extract it in ASTRO first.
Samsung Fascinate, Verizon
EB01 Superclean 2.4
Kenesis' TransMyst GBKB (EPIIIIIC)
Mob87's Honeycomb Theme
Stock Kernel

+1 for super manager

Actually I did extract then but then.once I got there I couldn't get it into system apps. I used super manager and I would try to copy the apk but everytime I pressed copy it would say "prepare to copy" then nothing happens.
I didn't even think about Bluetooth transferring it I'm gonna give it a try

I use ghost commander w.o any problems

You can always su in a terminal and do whatever you want, right? Might need to remount r/w but I think it's already mounted r/w on most roms.

I think the problem you are having with super manager is that your phone is not mounted correctly go to the market and download mount Rw/ro and click in the app and click set at boot and click rs and then you can move apps with that method

Thanks for the suggestion I downloaded that app and its awesome. It's just what I was looking for.
Blackhole thanks for informing me about that it was really annoying me that I couldn't move the files around

Silly question maybe but after you initiated the copy did you then move to the system/app folder a tap the paste icon? I have been able to use Super Manager to copy .apk files with no problems.
I see you are now using ghost commander. I might have to give that one a try.

which of these can be downloaded without market access?

ES file explorer has root access and zip/rar support.

Since you already bought the app, it technically wouldn't be illegal for you to just google rootexplorer.apk and install it to her phone. Just delete it after for moral reasons.

[Q] How to install an apk into system/app?

I am using rooted JVU firmware and would like to install ICS keyboard to my system/app.
I used Root Explorer to copy the apk file into the directory and did a reboot, and the keyboard appeared on my locale and text menu.
However, when I try to select the keyboard, it always return a force close.
Can anybody teach me on how to solve this issue?

There is a thread called "How to: Push apps(.apk)" - you will have to try to use the search function for that name cause I don't think I can post a link yet

I did the search and tried the way as taught, end up having the force close issue.
Is it that not all apk can be installed onto system/app?

You can also try an app called "system cleanup". I'm not sure if it's on the market but there is a thread where you can dl it or you could use titanium pro

Ics keyboard is made to work on android 4.0.x framework ported from Nexus S, ok?
As you revealed in OP you are using Sammy JVU 2.3.6 TouchWiz infected framework.
Why not try to rip out HTC keyboard and push that too while you're in the mood?

When you push an ask to system/app am I write in saying it does not deleted in factory reset..??
What about pushing to system system/media..??

When pushing an apk to system folder,u need root and there is 2 easy ways,either use a root explorer and just push it to the system/app folder or use titanium backup to revert to system app.factory reset(full wipe) doesn't wipe system apk,but everthing else is wiped..
U can also push apk to system via ADB.but a little bit of knowledge is needed

How do I get Google Play Store on my KFHD?

Just rooted two days ago or so, so how do I install Google Play? Sorry, a bit clueless.
* I'm running 7.2.3 by the way

Step 3: Installed google play store using this pages instructions
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1893410
1. Root your Kindle Fire HD
2. Downloaded and install the GoogleServicesFramework.apk
3. Download Vending.apk
4. Using a file explorer app on the Fire with superuser permissions AND the system file permissions set to Read-Write, move Vending.apk to /system/app.
5. Change the permissions of Vending.apk to User - Read/Write, Group - Read, Others - Read
6. Install Vending.apk
6.5 rebooted
7. The Android Market should show up in your Kindle Fire HD apps. Tap on it and follow the steps.
8. Download and install the Play.apk to upgrade the the android market to the current Play market.

I found out myself what i was doing wrong. I didnt move the apk files to the /system/app folder and installed them directly from the downloads folder, because i read that someone said it doesnt matter where you install them.. Also, I noticed that the gplay file is the most play store, and by installing the phonesky apk, it was downgrading my play store to the very first one, which was causing it to crash.
Thanks for the help though!

((Question))

My Phone is Rooted okai and i download games from Play Store so can i take the source of the game i have downloaded and if yes how can i do that !!

Use Titanium Backup to get the apk + data of the installed app , or use Roote Explorer (or any other root file manager) and manually pull them (apk is in data/app and data in data/data)

you can backup apps
but if you are thinking of pirating apps then you should not do it
else you can backup apps even without root with the help of es file explorer

Then may be you need to look into rooting. only then you will have a complete picture of whats going on... You need to check some folders like
data/log, data/lost+found
system/lost+found

I also face same problem, then I noticed that the size I can only reduce is from WhatsApp databases:
Use any File Explorer >> Go to sdcard0>> Folder 'Whats App' >> Databases >> Delete the old backup files.
Using this I was able to clear more than 300MB files...
