Android DDMS file explorer not working for Rooted Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000


I have been playing at this for two days now. I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 (Android 4.1.2 - hard requirement). I am trying to get the file explorer in DDMS to display in eclipse (I am using the file explorer correctly, it works fine for my Galaxy Nexus). I have tried everything from adb root (already runs in root) to getprop ro.secure (returns 1, so does my Galaxy Nexus). I have also tried the ln -s toolbox ls (returns 'file exists') with chmod +x toolbox. Toolbox is being symbolically linked correctly:

    lrwxrwxrwx root     root              2013-02-26 09:30 ls -> toolbox
    -rwxr-xr-x root     shell      134976 2008-08-01 08:00 toolbox
    (etc from ls -l from /system/bin)

I can do adb shell, ls and every other command fine via adb. It is just the DDMS>file explorer that will still draw a blank. I have rerooted and reflashed it incase something was wrong. I used multiple ROMS. I unrooted it. I even uninstalled BusyBox to make sure that was not conflicting (busybox runs fine on the Galaxy Nexus) and still I get nothing. I have all updated drivers and firmware installed. Is there anything else that I am missing that would not cause the DDMS file explorer to not work???

Current ROM is GloryROM_XENLs4_rev02_by_moisesfco on Kernel version 3.0.31-9064076.

Picture as proof: Samsung Galaxy GT-N7000 DDMS file explorer not displaying


Solution

  • Solved it. If anyone else has the same problem. I ended up switching to the Cynogenmod 9.1 with android version 4.0.4. It works fine now, apparently the different ROMS that I used, PHIL4-cm6 and GLORYROM did not play well with the file explorer.
