Hi All,
I am having trouble installing Root Explorer on my phone. Anyone know of any other free/cheap app that would
allow me to search through my phone's root directory? Or, is there some other way I can find a file within an app
on my phone, given the very primitive default file manager in Android phones?
Thanks.

A big advantage of Android is that it allows every user the freedom to access their device's file system. File transfers between a computer and smartphone or tablet are as simple as plugging in a USB cable and firing up your desktop file manager. There are multiple apps that you can use to access your root file.
