Hi
Here is 3 packages, that can allow you to easy start your favorite file manger as root.
The package will create icon to start file manager app as root. On the first start it will ask you to insert your root (dev mode) password. Afterward this icon will open file manager as root.

File Browser, CargoDock or Filetug apps should be installed on your device...

Beware, use it on your own risk !!!





1. StartAsRoot for File browser
2. StartAsRoot for CargoDock
3. StartAsRoot for Filetug

v0.2
* Inserting root pass not needed anymore !

You can operate with files in root directories and KILL your device

Good thing. So for root mode I can now refer to your tool.
I wouldn't get Cargo Dock into Store with root mode anyway.
Thanks for offering a solution to this!

It just write your pass to the new created .desktop file (icon), and it allow to start file browser as root.
