Recovery file managers? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anybody know of any working recovery file managers? I used aroma file explorer on my nexus 5 but for some reason it doesnt work on the N6. I used to use it to delete folders before a new flash. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I use ES file explorer. It has root browser capabilities and works for everything I need it for.

Ok. Thank you. But i am actually looking for a file manager i can use in TWRP, so i can delete things like the android folder before i flash a new rom.

Kernel Manager

TeamWIN has now made their Kernel Manager app work with the XOOM. What it allows you to do, is flash kernels inside android. No more booting into fastboot, or even running update.zips.

it didn't corrupt your kernel. Just manually push the BCM4329.ko file through adb.
or just to be safe just push everything again manually. That way you know everything was done right.

Download and run the one click root file, it will repatch with the kernel that comes in it or you can place the files from the latest kernel release into it. I think thats the best option for you if you are not comfortable using adb.
Get the one click root here.

It could be an issue with the download. Find the file with astro or root explorer and delete it then redownload, or download to your computer and place it on the xoom and have the app install from the sd card instead of downloading it.
If it still doesnt work for you, just reflash the one click root and give it a day or two for the devs to update the app or something.
Hope everything works out for you

Well.... Uhhh.... Thats not something I tried myself. But I think it would be pretty easy... When you extract the root my xoom folder to your computer, open it up and find the kernel files... then replace them with the updated files from the 1.3.2 zip file. Just unzip the 1.3.2 folder and copy and paste.
Hope this helps
ive opend the rootmyxoom folder and i dont know where to put the contents from the zip

I dont have a current version of the one click root, but I would think to look inside either the wifi root folder or the tiamat folder (inside the rootmyxoom folder). Whichever one has the same files from the 1.3.2 folder, copy and paste them over to that folder inside the rootmyxoom folder and you should be golden.
ive looked thru them all , i dont see any files in any of those folders that look like the ones that come in the zip
open up the tiamit files in the root my xoom folder and replace with whatever kernel you want to use. I did this three times with tiamit 1.3.0, and .1 and .2. You can try to just replace the entire file or go in and replace the indiviual files from within the tiamit kernel folder. Be careful though if you replace the wrong files or mix them up could be bad results, usually just no wifi or bootloops.
Oh by the way i always did all this on a windows based computer that way the files look the same or similar

This works great, now if only there can be a similar app that installs themes
Wow, Kernel manager just solved my problem of flashing the new tiamat 1.4.0 kernel.
Was having issues in CWM, instead of pulling my hair out in testing it out via trial by error. Had a (status 0) error while flashing kernel in CWM.
It was resolved by using Kernel Manager!!!
Can't access link to download apk? Anyone have this problem?
Edit: got it downloaded

worked great with 1.3 but as soon as i tried 1.4 it broke my wifi, gonna wait till next update and try again, dont like the 1click root method

Don't think it'll work on our device. And if it did work for the fascinate you would prolly need to be on a touch wiz rom as well.
good day.

What Chopper said could be true. At any rate try this:
Long press on your file
Hit extract
Go to the extracted folder
Long press on your extracted file
Hit move or copy
Navigate to system /app folder
Hit the system rw if necessary
Paste the file
Re boot

I have a different app but same problem. I have ES File Explorer I can copy the file but when I get to system/app I have not been able to figure out how to paste the file. Anyplace I do the long press in system/app there is an app that it thinks I'm wanting to do something with and I don't get the paste option. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Okay so I figured out how to paste it and it wasn't allowed. No I can't find the apk at all. I have even cleared cache and tried to re-download and I get the Ballero-2.apk actually I am up to Ballero-5.apk and can find none of those either.
un-rooted, microSD card, Go Launcher, ES File Explorer, HomeCatcher
Thanks again for your help.

Es file explorer is not as consistent when it comes to giving you root access, which is what you need to paste in system, app. Imo, root explorer is a must.
Edit; although I read that you can obtain that permission somewhere in the es file explorer settings

[Q] ViPER4Android and ROMcleaner folder how to delete

Why is it i cannot delete those 2 folders in any explorer in my internal? It it something to do in permision or something else? Need you help here tia
Which error you have from the explorer?
However, if you will erase all your sd, do a full wipe when you're flashing a new rom

Good. You could also have deleted them by using a root explorer and looking for them in /data/media/0 instead of /sdcard.

It's still there just use a different file manager.. I use root Explorer and it's in /sdcard/Android/obb if you are using the stock file manager, it may not let you see it.

Right Try and find another file explorer on Goggle Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mi.android.globalFileexplorer and see if you can open .apk thruogh a different file explorer.
