One of the older standard root applications is Root Explorer and today we finally saw a good update for the app. This update brought a new Holo design theme with it and fixed crashes on Android 4.1 and the Verizon model of the Samsung Galaxy S III. It also allows you to create shortcuts for files and folders along with some other things. Here’s the full rundown:

• Added Create Shortcut option for files and folders.
• Make Root Explorer available to process downloaded or received archive, text and database files.
• Allow device files to be listed.
• Use Holographic theme on dialogs for ICS/Jelly Bean.
• Fixed Verizon Galaxy S3 startup freeze issue.
• Stop suggestions appearing when entering file/folder names.
• Added Whats New dialog.
• Improved Italian translation.
• Improved Korean translation.
• Fixed properties layout issue for Korean language.
• Various other bug fixes

Looks like a nice update for the crowd who still use Root Explorer. Do you still use Root Explorer or have you moved onto a different root file manager?
