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.

Disappearing Apps!

This is ridiculous man. I've had 3 moto phones now and have never seen it like this! Every reboot I lose at least 5. The XDA app is cursed on this phone, not to mention others.
Before you ask, I didn't transfer anything to the media area.
This is silly, and needs to get sorted out soon.

You want to know how bad it was the last time my phone was rebooted? (which was from a battery pull due to the XDA app freezing up the phone) - I had 5 1/2 pages of apps before - now I have 4 1/2.
This is wild...

Just got the bionic
And the same thing has happened to me
Kinda annoying

Ok... I won't ask if you transfered anything to the media area.
What I will ask is if you transfered your file which are in the media area back to the phone.
Some apps will install to the media area by default. You need to move them to the phone in manage apps.
Go to manage apps and select the media area tab. Make sure you go down the line and ensure there are no checks in any boxes.
If you have any, move those apps to phone if you don't want them top disappear.

You're a boss.
Just did what you said. I will report back at the end of the day if I lost any apps.

Not so fast
I just followed the recommendation to the T. And when I attempt to uncheck the box, I get a screen that allows me to move the app back to the phone.
So I next tried to move the app back to the phone, but when I do, I get a popup that states: "FAILED TO MOVE APPLICATION". Repeated tries yield the same results.
The QC on this phone is rubbish.

+1 ... I usually lose XDA, Netflix, and Madden 12. Madden 12 won't even show up in the market for me either although I have paid for it.

If the app you're trying to movve is already missing try re-installing it from the market before you move it to keep your data.
The apps which disapeared all start with "COM." And will have to be re-installed before you can move them.

When I download apps from Android Market, the Bionic occasionally (rarely) throws an insufficient storage message just prior to installation, despite have >2GB of application storage available. The downloaded file just disappears after that.
If I had to guess, when my apps disappear, they do so during automatic updates.

If you get that error, most likely it was trying to save an app to your media area.
Re-download and install the app.
Once install is complete, send the app back to phone asap. Get it out of the media area.

UN mounting and re mounting the internal storage works. So does restarting the launcher after the initial boot. You can use a task manager to kill the home process... When it restarts all my apps re appear
Weak we have to go through all that trouble... But it is better than no fix at all.

Losing apps is not Bionic specific
Dear All:
My lg revolution does the same thing, when I reboot phone not all the apps load. It seems to be software related aka Android glitches. The apps I have installed to the external SD card are the ones that are sometimes lost. Internal memory apps never get lost. BTW my wife's Fascinate the same thing.

What class SD card are you using? Try a slower class card. It also might be the brand is not compatible.
Your SD card is the problem.

I had this problem as well, and after doing a bit of searching around, this is what I came up with. This is apparently a problem plaguing the Bionic right now, and will hopefully be fixed with the soon to come OTA update. When you download apps, go to settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Media Area, and uncheck the apps that you want the phone to not delete, or if it's a new app you just downloaded, make sure it ISN'T checked. In a sense, sometimes the phone will save apps to the SD card (when the box is checked) automatically besides the standard internal memory, therefore when the phone reboots, it might not read the apps in your SD memory very well. So until the OTA udpate comes through, just double check in this area that all apps are unchecked (unless it's Backbreaker, or something). For instance, my DroidForums application kept uninstalling itself, and after checking the Media Area, I noticed that the box beside the name was "checked." After unchecking, it is no longer removing itself.

Lost all files on /sdcard when transfering files from PC

I just tried to transfer files from my PC (Win7) via USB MTP onto my Nexus7 which seemed to work as usual. When I tried to locate them on the tablet, I noticed that the complete /sdcard folder is still there, but empty. Also the /storage/sdcard0 and /storage/emulated.
This actually happend the second time, but the first time I just had updated to 4.2.1 and I thought I must've missed some instructions about backing up the files first, so I (falsely) assumed it was my error.
The device is the 16gb wifi only version running current android 4.2, it's been rooted after purchase in summer using Nexus Root Toolkit 1.5.3. I just use the usual popular play store apps like nova launcher, total commander, firefox and stuff, nothing special.
I couldn't find anyone on the internet with a similar issue, so I put this here.
//edit1: I have only one user set up: me alias the owner.

I fail to see how that should affect why I don't "see" my files anymore. I haven't switched the user, I only have one: the owner. May you please make your point more clear?

You can alter where things are stored. Have you connected back to pc to search tab that way. Check storeage settings did you use ptp or mtp for transfer

I used MTP. The tablet looks empty from "within" via Totalcommander & EStrong Filemanager. Also other apps like music don't see my files. Storage shows suspiciously much free space, I guess it's really gone. From PC it looks the same, completely wiped. It recreated the /sdcard/Android-Folder, and the Apps I've used since recreated their folders... I can't find where you meant I could alter where things are stored. Storage just let's me delete stuff and users just let's me edit the away-message.
Thanks anyway so far.

Hi I use wifi file explorer. Try that to transfer your files and let me know how it goes. Its in the playstore/market

Multiple File References messing me up

So I have this strange problem that is causing my Ringtones not to work.
I go into settings >> sound >> and click to select the default ringtone.
In there some of my Ringtones are listed 3 times.
These are MP3's that I have on my Ext SDcard in a drirectory.
If when I am trying to select the ringtone, I select the first 2 of the 3 of any particular ringtone, the "preview" does not work at all. The 3rd version of the ringtone works with the preview but the phone won't work with it.
I select the thrid version and close settings and try to call my phone. Only vibration. I look back in the settings and the first entry is selected.
So I took out my ext sdcard and only 2 versions of the file name show up now and neither of those will play, preview, or work.
I downloaded Rescan Media Root and rescanned media but nothing gets rid of these Ghost entries.
Any ideas?
The built in phone ringtones are entered only once and they work.

Try removing the ext. sd card and rebooting the phone. Also while it is removed, go to settings and then applications and clear data of the Music Player app and Media Storage. You can find them under the "All" tab in applications manager.

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.

Dolphin browser just released v11.1. They listened to our cries. The side swipe bookmark and control panel side bars have been restored.

Great news! Thanks for the update.
