Downloaded and installed droidexplorer. It will open and find my phone, but it will not show files. Is there a diff version I need to get. I have Win 7 64bit, and downloaded the 64 bit file

Nor did desktop sms. I added it to the phone and desktop. Is this for Sprints Hero ?

I just saw it needs a diff ROM to work. Is this true for both apps. I have not done the new ROM as of yet. I rooted and removed files the other way.

I have only loaded the first and third app myself. Work just fine on Windows 7. My understanding is the first one needs a custom ROM. Don't know about the second one (sms).
