Unihertz Titan

How did you install the app?

F-Droid / IzzyOnDroid

Steps to reproduce the bug

Browsing anything under root with root access granted (eg. anything within the path /data/system/users/0/) lists correctly the files present, but the size of each one is 0 bytes and the date of each one is 1970.

Expected behavior

See the correct file sizes/dates; other file managers such as Root Explorer or Material Files show the correct information under the same circumstances.

Actual behavior

File size and date are incorrect

The "device specific" tag seems to be of questionable accuracy considering the exact same thing happens on an Asus Zenphone Live L1 on Android 8.0.

The "device specific" tag seems to be of questionable accuracy

Most devices don't have root access.

Most devices don't have root access.

Ah yes, it is indeed quite device specific that way - it will never affect any of the many million users who will never install the app.

The "device/software specific" label is applicable here. The issue is not "device specific" but it is "software specific".

hello, does the filemanager allows editing, copying and deleting files in root directory, when root is enabled? it didn' work some minutes ago.
