Issues while accessing some root files

[mrbck]

Thanks for great simple manager.

Unfortunately I have continuous issues while accessing some root files. Eg. data/app/(any app)/oat/arm64 or mnt/user/0. The app does not respond while clicking on these folders and freezes. Also some files in root folders are reported as having 0 size despite that is not true, see screenshot below.

Other file managers work fine in these regards. I am running latest crDroid on Android 10. I can provide logs or other information if needed.

TY for review of the mentioned issue!

what app version is that?

[mrbck]

6.6.0 Pro. It was the same in previous version (but I don't know its number).

I also have issues with root access: I can't access anything within / (root directory). After toggling root access in settings and granting the app access in magisk I get a blank result for /.

In settings - choose favorites I get a list of top level directories in / but as soon I want to choose a sublevel directory as /data/app the top level folder (/data) is added to favorites. After restarting the app I can't switch to main (/) any more. The explorer stays on "intern".

I'm on Stock Android 6.0.1 rooted with magisk 19.3. Issue is not only with app version 6.6.0 it has been this with older versions too. In fact I think I have never been able to use root at all (I use a different file manager for that).

In logcat I can see no errors just 1 warning: "System: ClassLoader referenced unknown path: /data/app/com.simplemobiletools.filemanager.pro-1/lib/arm64"

I don't have any files in /data/app/com.simplemobiletools.filemanager.pro-1/lib/. Is there a library missing?

more info (maybe helpful?): LineageOS 16 / arm 32bit, rooted with magisk I can see the folder list in / (no subfolders). When I create a new subfolder (eg /data/temp) it is not shown in SimpleFileManager. But when I check with another file explorer it is there.

report from another phone: root access is not granted

this is on an older phone with stock android 6.0.1 but minus google apps plus microG

I use magisk 20 for root access. After reinstalling the app and asking for root access in settings this doesn't provoke magisk for asking about the root priviledge. There is only a short toast about root access not granted. I can manually toggle the root access in magisk for the app (still off but changes to on). When I then ask again in file manager settings for root the toast says something like:

Error:
com.stericson.RootShell.exceptions.RootDeniedException: Root Access Denied

I have more than a dozen apps on different phones that work all well with magisk so I think the problem is on this side.

I'm posting this only in the hope that it helps you to find a solution. Thanks for all your apps.

FYI: The File Manager Amaze had the same root problems as this app. The developers changed something in their latest release (Version 3.5.0-beta2, https://github.com/TeamAmaze/AmazeFileManager) and now I have write and read access to all root files. (Although the first time when Amaze asks for general file access or root permission it crashes). This is the only open source file manager with root access (I tested all of them) that works on my phone (Stock Android 6.0.1).

Maybe you want to have a look how they handled the root permission?

edit: Version 3.5.0-beta3 doesn't crash when it asks for root permission: https://github.com/TeamAmaze/AmazeFileManager/releases/tag/v.3.5.0-beta3
