The most popular file management application on a smartphone is ES Explorer. This program allows the user to operate files in the same way as on a computer: copy, move, rename, and so on. Getting Root access makes it possible to use additional functions of the explorer.
What are root rights?
From English, root translates to root. Obtaining these rights means that the user expands the capabilities of the phone’s operating system and gets to its “root”. The smartphone from the factory is configured in the guest mode. This means that the owner does not have full features: he cannot change system files, delete embedded applications, flash the system on his own, and so on. Obtaining Root rights on android gives the following advantages:
- There is an opportunity to flash the device itself.
- You can edit system applications as well as the device’s desktop. Due to this, you can fundamentally change the appearance of the display.
- Regulate the speed of processes and change the speed of the smartphone.
- Remove system programs and embed new ones.
Why Root in Explorer
"ES Explorer" is intended primarily for accessing files on the device or on external media. This program without rights will not allow the user to penetrate the system files and even more so modify them.
It is for penetration into the "OS" that Root is needed in Explorer. If you have the rights, "ES Explorer" will allow you to review the system data and operate it. Consider accessing this feature.
Getting Root Rights
First of all, it should be noted that such a procedure is not provided for on smartphones. That is, the introduction of administrator rights removes the warranty from the new device and puts the phone at risk of damage, for which only the user is responsible. Therefore, this operation must be done very carefully.
Before implementing Root rights, just in case, transfer all important files to removable media.
To install the Root Explorer on Android, you must first obtain the rights. There are several programs for this. Consider two of them: KingRoot and FramaRoot.
The first application is universal and simple. The first thing you need to download it from the Web. Installation should be done exclusively from trusted sites or from an official site. When you start the application, you need to go to the menu. A Try to Root or "Try Root" button will appear, which you must click and wait for the process to complete.
If an error occurs, then, most likely, it is impossible to obtain rights to this device and install the Root Explorer. But it’s still worth trying the second application.
FramaRoot is also a simple program. You need to download it from the Web and run. After that, several functions will appear: "install SuperSU", "remove Root rights" and "run the script". It is clear that to obtain rights you need to press the first button, then select one character, for example Boromir, and start the installation. Upon successful operation, a smiling emoticon will appear on the screen.
Work with "ES Explorer"
Now you can proceed to installing "ES Explorer" with Root. Step-by-step instruction:
- Download ES Explorer from the Play Market. The application is free and available for any smartphone.
- Open the function panel by clicking on the three bars in the upper left corner or by swiping the screen to the right.
- In the screen that opens, you need to find the "Root Explorer" and click on it. This button can be either in the panel itself or in the "Tools" tab.
- If the smartphone has rights, then the application will require consent to their use. You need to provide access and continue.
You can end the process on this, however, to edit system files, you need to do one more operation: hold down the Root Explorer button to open the settings for this section. A window will appear where you need to click "Connect as R / W". All flags must be rearranged to the R / W position. Now Root rights to ES Explorer are fully installed.
After the operations, the user will have access to the built-in files, editing all applications, desktop, text and the like.
Conclusion
Install Root Explorer only if the user is confident in their device. As already mentioned, administrator rights completely destroy the warranty on the device, so in case of breakage, repairs can be expensive. It is first necessary to determine what the functions of the administrator are for, and only then carry out the above operations.
