File Explorer (Root Add-On) 1.0.2

This add-on is no longer necessary with modern versions of FX File Explorer. You can now enable root access directly within FX, eliminating the need to install this add-on. This add-on is only available for users of older versions and outdated devices. Please download the latest FX File Explorer here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.fx.

This add-on requires root access to function but it will not root your phone or tablet.

This add-on module enhances FX File Explorer by enabling root file management features.

Kindly note that this is just an add-on and not a standalone application. You must have FX File Explorer installed in order for this add-on to work. The add-on will not be visible in your application launcher. To access its functionality, open FX File Explorer and tap on the "System (Root)" option on the home screen. We recommend installing FX File Explorer and trying it out before purchasing it. Download FX File Explorer here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.fx.

Before proceeding with the download, please read the following critical information:

• You must already have root access on your phone or tablet for this add-on to work. It will not provide root access if you don't have it.
• Root access is intended for developers and knowledgeable enthusiasts only. Using any root access application improperly can cause your device to malfunction or become non-operational. You assume all risk when using this or any other root-access application to modify your device.

General Features:

• Browse, modify, and copy files to and from the otherwise inaccessible /data/app (installed Applications) and /data/data (application data / configuration) directories.
• Search for files and folders by filename, size, date, and type.
• View and change permissions and ownership of files and folders.
• Remount the root (/) and /system partitions as read-write.
• Edit configuration files as root using FX's built-in text editor.
• View any binary or text file using FX's built-in binary/hex and text viewers.

Safety and Security Features:

FX was designed to be an everyday file manager with added root-access functionality that doesn't compromise its capability. When the root module is installed, FX will still use normal Android user access for file operations. The root module is only enabled when you specifically open the "System (Root)" catalog in FX from the home screen.

Security features can be configured to either warn you when you are using root access (the default behavior) or require a PIN or password for root feature usage. These features can also be disabled, but they are designed to be unobtrusive (e.g., warnings are only displayed after a configurable interval of non-root use).

FX will display a warning on the home screen whenever the / or /system partitions have been remounted as read-write. This is because leaving them as read-write after completing root-related tasks poses a safety and security risk.

FX features a recursive checksum calculator that allows manual checking of file integrity between two directories. The system can even incorporate permissions and ownership data into its calculations to ensure that two directories are identically configured. To access this feature, long-press on a folder, tap "Details," and then tap "Calculate Checksum."
