Patch: StartAsRoot for FileCase
Similar to StartAsRoot for FileCase, but created as patch. It add indicators "NEMO" and "ROOT" to the cover (see screenshot) and you also can open more than one windows as nemo.
REMEMBER: Editing files in root directories can KILL your phone/tablet!
NOTE:
1. Don't forget to unapply patch before you update/reinstall FileCase app!
2. For both Phone and Tablet users - if you update or reinstall FileCase app, you need to UNINSTALL and reinstall this patch (sorry for inconvenient).
Known (possible) issues:
For me it happened only on v2.1.1.12. If app starts as nemo instead as root, try this workaround. For some mysterious reasons the phone sometimes remove "dconf" folder, and you need to recreate it. Do it as root = or as "su" or as "devel-su", try both variations.
mkdir -p /run/user/0/dconf
It should stay here, but sometimes when you close fingerterm, the folder deleted again.

Schturman - I notice that Filecase, File Browser, etc., show appropriate text color whether dark or light ambience is set, but with 'root' mode, it's always white, so white-background ambience is unusable. Anything we can do for that? Thanks

Hmm.. I don't know... Never checked this. light ambiences is new for 2-3 last updates (if I remember right). Same problem I have with my apps/patches that shown in Setting app. Icon's also not change color and I don't know the reason...
About FileManagers, I don't change nothing in the apps itself, why it not change colors under root, I don't know.

Hi.
Probably you updated or reinstalled FileCase app without unapplying patch. This is a reason for your problem.
This is a steps how to remove my packaged (as ROOT):
rpm -e --noscripts sailfishos-filecaseroot-patch/bin/rm -f /usr/share/filecase/qml/pages/CoverPage.qml.webosinternals.orig
/bin/rm -f /usr/share/applications/filecase.desktop.webosinternals.orig
/bin/rm -f /usr/share/applications/harbour-filecase-root-patch.desktop.webosinternals.orig
/bin/rm -f /usr/share/applications/harbour-filecase-root-patch.desktop
/bin/rm -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor/86x86/apps/harbour-filecase-root-patch.png
/bin/rm -f /usr/share/filecase/qml/pages/CoverPage2.qml
/bin/rm -f /usr/share/filecase/qml/filecase2.qml
/bin/rm -f /usr/share/filecase/qml/pages/FileInfo.qml.webosinternals.orig
/bin/rm -f /usr/share/filecase/qml/filecase.qml.webosinternals.orig
/bin/rm -f /usr/share/filecase/qml/pages/TransfersDelegate.qml.webosinternals.orig
/bin/rm -rf /usr/share/openrepos-filecaseroot-patch
/bin/rm -rf /usr/share/patchmanager/patches/sailfishos-filecaseroot-patch
in this steps you will completely remove my package from your phone.
Install/Reinstall FileCase from store
Install new version of patch from Openrepos
Apply it.
DON’T forget anymore to unapply patches when you update patched app or system !!!

What it say when you trying to install ?
I don't have XA device and can't check it. For me it work on Sailfish OS 3.0.1.11 with PM2 and PM3
Try to install via terminal and show output.
