I thought this app was just ok. I didn't like the fact that you could not customize the quick links on the left side. For example, my movies and music folders are on my SD Card, but when you click the links, it takes you to the internal memory.
I just downloaded yesterday. Really like it. I use rootexplorer for the more serious stuff, but this is much more pleasing to use, the interface is great
Good app but needs paid version sure it will pop up sooner than later

I noticed you can't delete from this app. Is anyone else having this problem?

I just tried it. Moved a file from one folder to another. It was corrupted after the move. Deleted the app. Back to Root Explorer for me. It may not have as much eye candy, but I much prefer the functionality.

I do however like the look and feel.

Good start but lack of "Delete" and adds are a minus.

Looks good and works good. Just replaced astro.

You can delete. Use edit then delete or long press a file, then edit, then delete. Or press the multi button at the top and batch delete multiple files at once.

This is actually pretty cool looking. But it is definitely going to be tough to not use RootExplorer.

You can bookmark folders by long pressing on them and the folders you bookmark will be on the left side as quick links.
By far the best interface and functionality I've seen on any similiar app, very close to windows explorer imo
Does it have root access, have not played with it much?
It's pretty but I like the functionality of ES File Explorer better.
i like it much better than astro..... i hope he adds root access like root explorer...then it would be perfect
i removed both astro and ES once they added Lan support and fixed the "move" feature. ES would work sometimes with LAN, but not all the time, and it had no "move" option, just "copy". I havent had any negative experiences using LAN on FM HD. There was one issue that i discovered recently, i tried to send a cbr file via bluetooth, but when i clicked on "share" the option wasnt there. But its there for all other types of files.
They are pretty quick at fixing issues. Two days after i mentioned the "move" issue (when you move a file, it would take really long, and it shouldnt because it was being moved within the same device, i.e. when you move a file on your c: drive to somewhere else on your c drive, it goes in an instant, even with Astro, moving was simple), but anyway, two days later, the issue was fixed.
Its a great file browser for the xoom.

It seems that this phone, like many others, has a Gallery app that finds every damn picture imaginable on your device and tries to load a preview of it. Why can't there just be a certain folder where pictures are stored instead? Is this possible? I don't want my phone to find every picture on my SD card - this is for people who place pics on their phone unknowing of where they put it.
Thanks
With cm7 it loads those thumbnails in no time!

Oh, nice solution.. NOT
I found the solution. Create a file in the directory where the pic(s) exist called ".nomedia" and Android will not index/load the images after reboot.

x2, I was about to tell you about this
or just download the QuickPic app from the Market - it's free and allows you to move, share, hide and all kinds of other functions Gallery doesn't do.
I noticed that my Gallery app is showing I have no "albums" or anything. Up til now, it automatically added folders when I saved a pic, and it had a folder of pics I had on my SD2 card. Unfortunately this also affected the Multi Wallpaper App that I use. Any suggestions?
I am using Tnt 4.3.2.

There have been reported issues all over in regards to media getting deleted on the sd cards. so far IMHO is to create a blank .nomedia file on both the root AND your media folder (just to cover all basis). It has seemed to work for me so far and another tab that I get to work on.
basically use whatever file explorer you use and create a 'new file' and call it .nomedia (dot - nomedia) and that should cover it.
Hope that helps some.
Thanks for the suggestions. But unfortunately, they did not work. Let me give you some more symptoms....
The pics are still on the storage cards. I can see then with my file app. When I try to open one of the pics, jpegs, Gallery will open it, but very slowly... thinking first, going to a blank screen, and then a few seconds later, displaying the file. If I choose to view it with ESFile Explorer, the pic comes up almost immediately. It's almost as if Gallery is unable to acknowledge the existence of the files unless forced to.

Thanks Steve, the .nomedia file creation in the sdcard directory worked great!
this fixed my issue too thank you
Is there a way to keep some photos hidden but still keep them on the device? I will typically let people go through my pics especially my 3 year old but there are pics of other things that I don't want him or others to see.......
So, what is the best option?
Vaulty will hide them but it doesn't encrypt them. It just changes the file extension so the phone can't read it. But it would take a bit of a guru to look that far into finding your pics and will most likely be sufficient for you.
I personally use it.

Unfortunately, Vaulty force closes every time I select multiple pics..
Trying to hide those Scarlett Johansson pics, are we?
No, much much filtier
You can put a .nomedia file in any folders you don't want scanned by the gallery app, most other apps will skip these folders too, though some have an option to allow you to see them when you want. It won't encrypt them and they'll still be visible to file explorers though.

Hide it pro works great. And its free. Once you hide it, delete the pix out of your gallery. You can even hide apps.

As ind3p3nd3ntsaid, Should be able to drop a file named ".nomedia" into the folder you want hidden from media players and galleries. Has always worked fine for me.

How are you supposed to create this file without linux? Windows wouldn't let me do it.
I did it on my phone, just find a random text file, make a copy of it to desired location and rename it to .nomedia

I like this method, definitely going to try it out. I'm pretty sure none of my friends like to go rummaging around in my file browser... and if they do they will perish!
As you guys know(or should by now) I've ported MIUI to the Bionic. I need your help for a list of apps you would like to see in it. FREE APPS. Just Throw Some At Me And If I See Multiples, I'll Throw Them In It.
.....nothing?
Generally I think you should avoid adding apps...but the USB and wifi tether apps listed in my noob guide would be a good addition.

I would add the Google source tethering app and that's about it. Also in your rom you have to have wifi to download anything from the browser or market. The toggle in the downloads app doesn't work. But great job on the rom!

to late..and you guys are thinking apps like games and stuff...I'm thinking apps like
RomToolbox
DSPManager
PhoneInfo(as its pre-beta)
WifiTether
stuff like that ya know.....tools you'll need on a pre-beta Rom
MIUI apps
Flash Video Browser- watch Hulu, Youtube, College Humor, CBS as a desktop browser, no more blocked cause your on a mobile browser.
Webkey- cell sitting on charger in bedroom, have access and control of it from your browser.
AirDroid- cleaner than Webkey, less options but BADazz either way.
Webtop Connector- taken from Atrix I believe, lets you run webtop without buying hardware, just plug in HDMI cable. Can't wait it Webuntu is ready.
Android-wifi-tether- cause Barnacle wouldn't work and 4G is too fast not to tether.
NZB Leech- my ISP limits my bandwidth, so this help to expand it. Use Opera or Firefox and I like binsearch.info for downloading NZB files. No PAR checker, but I justs transfer to PC if I need to rebuild.
Clover- cause free $5 and easy to get pay and pay people. MOD EDIT: Link removed - no referral links allowed
LCD Density and LCD Resolution- I like that one shows you the resolution your about to set, other gives you more control. Set to 180dpi and webtop mirror will give you 1280x720 on your HDTV.
Swiftp- sharing is caring. Easiest FTP server I've used, and works great.
ES File Explorer
Opera Mobile
Firefox
Google+
Amazon App Store
Battery Monitor Widget
AdAway
1Weather
Android Assistant
Adobe Reader
Barcode Scanner
Box.net
CameraMX
Currents
DiskUsage
Docs
Dropbox
FBReader
FireFox
Flash
Handcent SMS
MoboPlayer or MX Video Player
Navigation
Sound Recorder
SuperUser
Talk
Titanium
Voice
Youtube
I know this is overboard, but these are apps I like to install and use.
If you have an app that you consider better than the ones listed, please let us know what you like about it versus this list.
ES File Explorer vs Astro File Manager = ES has a built-in scanner to find network shared folders. Also client for Dropbox and Box.net, so easier to copy/paste into you cloud storage. Box.net offering 50GB free.
Maybe we can do a Games thread later on.

You should get the modded Flash Player plug-in for KitKat as well if you haven't already. Runs like a charm on Dolphin too.

It works watching amazon prime movies once flash is installed and browser set to desktop... It's awesome.
Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk
The version ya referring is a beta release, not a new stable. That's why not everybody got it, you need to be logged into the beta program (it's open btw). It is smoother on my N7 2k13 too, but the UI sucks a big one! The missing of the swipe bars makes it not usable for me. I hope the rethink that design, I opted out of the beta program in the meantime to get the old version back.
