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

Homunculus looks promising.

I still like emelfm2, even though I understand some of the objections to it. But is there any way to simulate a right click in it?

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

still not working for me, any other suggestions guys? Thanx

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

biggzy..

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

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

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?
 

Thanx, di i have to install anything first? as i get not found when i type root.

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

biggzy

it must be in rootsh package

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

Thanx, all done and working, had to reinstall rootsh, even tho i already had it, must have been a prob with rootsh itself, thanx again.

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

You did it!
Great ....
:)

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.

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

Warnings... Warnings... We don't need no stinkin' Warnings!

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

lol i wasnt going to put a warning but thought about it and what if a total noob does this? they may end up with a n900 brick if they mess with system. thats why its there lol.... and to cover my back, dont want people sayin "biggzy you killed my n900"

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

Yeah, no doubt a cautious move.

Reminds me of the warnings on Firearms though.
