By far the slickest way of controlling media on your pc or xbox1 or Linux box...
Install XBMC
Get XBMC remote from Google Code
It's superb.

OMG YOU ARE THE BEST THANKS SO MUCH 100% what im looking for

WiFi File Manager

I'd like to get an opinion on what's the best WiFi File Manager app around as I'm always transferring media i.e photos etc back and forth from my DHD to pc and vice versa and it would be better not having to use a usb cable and using a quick and simple way over WiFi would be better.

if it's small files then I use Bluetooth.
For larger things I use ASTRO file manager with the SMB module, then i can browse my Laptop or PC folders via my phone.

I couldn't get SMB Module to work. Best I have found so far is Estrongs with the built in WiFi file Manager. Can simply view the contents of your pc from phone and copy and paste onto phone.

Cheers!

What about MyPhoneExplorer
IMO excellent piece of software that allows connection via cable, Bluetooth and WiFi
And its free

Dropbox!

i use "file expert" for nearly everything.
but i also have SSHDroidPro in case i wont to log into my phone or use e.g. winscp or scp to trasnfer file from/to sitting at my pc.

Websharing is the one for me

LOL wtf..
Just make sure you have a shared folder on your Win7 machine (create something like Android transfer and share with 'Everyone')
Use ES File Explorer to set up a Server on LAN tab
job done

File Management App?

Hello,
I just got a Nook Color today and rooted it easily using the very helpful guide on this forum (thanks to all who contributed to that). I am leaving for a long trip Friday and I was hoping to bring a lot of video files on various MicroSDHC cards that I could swap out when I finished them. However, the video is incredibly choppy when reading directly off the card (class 6), while files loaded directly on the nook color play flawlessly. I was wondering if there is some way, app or otherwise, that would allow me to load a few video files onto the nook and then place them back on the card when I am done.
Thanks

File Expert works well (free) as does Root Explorer ($).

Why don't you use my USB mass storage utility and copy files to media (internal)..

I use Astro for general file management due to all its bells and whistles, plus Root Explorer when I need to dig around in /system.

try File Expert

[Q] Boosting Media Volume

Howdy All!
I'm about to take a trip to Alaska and will be taking my Nook Color along to watch movies during flights. It's running CM7 with the beta .32 kernel. I think it'll be loud enough on the plane (I will be using active noise canceling headphones), but I'd like to know what options there are for boosting volume just in case.
I see that there is a built in DSP Manager and one can simply set it to +10 on each section. Is this the best way to boost volume? I noticed in CM Settings there is a a way to boost attenuation for ringtones, notifications, etc, but nothing for media volume.
Thanks!

I'm using volume + available here.........http://androidaudiohacks.com/home/volume-gingerbread/download
It's been working well for me.

Oh Wow! Volume + is amazing. Thank You.

Glad to help.

Thank you for your recommended.

One thing to note. If you are using headphones, you may think you need to adjust the "Headset Settings" in Volume +. Changing this will do nothing. The "Speaker Settings" will adjust both the built-in speakers as well as any headset you plug into the headset jack.

Thanks!

THanks a lot !

Volume+ is perfect. Thanks so much for the recommendation. It's working great on my Droid phone, too.

How does volume+ compare to DSP Manager which is included in CM7?

This app is GREAT........
Sent from my NookColor using XDA Premium App

DSP manager has superior EQ control IMO but volume + is MEGA GOOD! I had no idea we would ever be able to have an app to do that. Now I don't have to re encode all my low volume videos. I tried running both together but they crash each other.

Can't wait to give this app a try. I just had my first long trip on a plane with my nook and with noise canceling headphones the volume was just about right. Although at times I could have used one or two more volume nudges up.

I have got to be missing something, but when I downloaded the "apk," I got a zipped file containing some files and two folders, and one of the two folders contains a bunch of folders.
How do I install this on my nook color running CM7?

Its just an .apk
I must assume your using safari? Try looking in your downloads folder for the original .apk Safari tends to unzip things that dont need unzipped.

Thanks, but it really is a .zip file. I thought that too until file explorer on my nook wanted to unzip it. Then I went to my PC and unzipped it and that's when I got all the files. It is not an .apk. I checked that out. I'm puzzled. Why would a .zip file be put at the link location for downloading?

Using Opera browser and im also getting a .zip file.
Ok IE browser gave .apk file.

Will this only work for Gingerbread? How about rooted stock 1.1

Dalingrin has created a program for the Nook Color, just for this purpose.

My recomended Apps Galaxy tab2 7" for beginners.

Audio: Apollo, Poweramp
The first comes with CyanogenMod, the second can be found con Play Store on it's free 15 days trial.
Vídeo: Reprod. Mx, VLC
These a free and really works fine i preffer the mx
Feedly is a real option for those who need a Google Reader replace.
Total Comander: this app for me is the best file manager that i've ever found. It is free.
For twitter i Really preffer Twicca, in this point are a lot of options, depends on you of wich choosing.
And the last app i love for my tab2 is Airdroid, no need usb cable only a WiFi conection.
Lets discuss about the best apps fot gtab.
Edit1: Helium and adAway are my fav root apps, i'm not sure if helium works fine without root but by now for me is the best backup/restore data app.

I know that price is an object for most people, but I really prefer Solid Explorer over anything else for file managing. If there is any app worth the money, it's Solid Explorer.
Also, I like Carbon for Twitter and Flipboard as my newsreader.
Reddit is fun is also a great app if you're on reddit a lot.

Blackmart, twidroid (yes its still available) tablified market, AccuWeather, touch calendar and exchange by touchdown...the absolute must have is media fire... 10 GBs of free storage space. Of course you need 4shared pro and ROM manager. The list kinda goes on and on... Those are my must haves though... Tab 2 10.1 cyanogen 4.2.2

Tasker is a really need to buy app too...
Good for automation and everything...
The possibilities are endless...

-es file explorer: newer version has good cloud and network support
-samba: if you want to see your android device folders from windows based pc (copy, paste etc)
-sync2: transfer easily files through wifi

Have been using kingsoft office for a month and seems to be such a stable and nice app for docs.

Taptu is amazing app for reading news. The best thing about it is that you can read offline and it load fast. Unlike other nice looking app like Flipboard, Current, Feedly it won't work with slow wifi at Mcdonald and can not read offline.

File managers (as well as the other apps, too) are a matter of personal preferense, IMO... As a loyal user of Total Commander for the past 18 years or so (I grew up on DOS and Norton Commander ), I like it both on Windows and on Android. However, my primary filemanager on my phone and tablet is ES Explorer (TC is a standby, but I am finding myself using it more and more on my tablet, as it's better on a bigger screen). As for Airdroid, there are also multiple apps available for WiFi file transfer. My choice is Software Data Cable - I use it all the time, no need for a USB connection, except for Odin flashing if needed...
One other personal recommendation is PasswdSafe - this has been my password manager on Windows for years, and Android port works beautifully in combination with DropBox file storage. With DropBox, all passwords are synced up between all my devices (three laptops, a phone, and a tablet) at any time.
