there is a bug, prog. doesn't runs from ~$ sudo gainroot shell,

if you need to run prog as root,
try to use ~$ root rootshell instead

sorry for being a noob but how do i do that. thanx

Re: [Maemo 5] File manager only sees MyDocs. Is there a better file manager?
 

You can create shortcut on desktop, and use prog. without root privileges (system files will be readonly), to run from terminal -
Start terminal, and type
~$ homunculus

if you need root privileges, you need to
start terminal
~$ root
~$ homunculus

Re: [Maemo 5] File manager only sees MyDocs. Is there a better file manager?
 

here is config to always have root with homunculus file manager.

just edit the homunculus.desktop file in /usr/share/applications/hildon

Make sure you have rootsh installed.

You just need to edit the Exec line as below.

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=Homunculus File Manager
Exec=/bin/busybox sh -c 'echo homunculus | root'
Icon=tasklaunch_file_manager

WARNING doing this will alow homunculus file manager to edit/delete system files, do so only if you know what you are doing.
