Sorry for FC. 3-4 users reported the same issue. But we cannot duplicate this issue on our test phone. Maybe it depends on your software configuration?
Could you please send me logcat?
Thanks very much!

Starting here some bug feedback
Or well at first: File Expert is just Great!
In the newest update were progressbars for copy and more, they are not working.
I see the bar but its the whole time full as if the copy is already done.
Hope for new updates
I found this in one of the 'best new apps' websites. I am loving it. The network features really grab me. I can easily - EASILY - log on to our company network and browse files from anonymous or login-required sources. And it links trivially to my home network, allowing me to push/pull from any public drive on any of the computers at home.
I also really like the look and feel. It is my preferred file explorer of choice.
Thanks for a great product.
Great File Manager...keep up the good work.
It is really good. Only if it could gain root acces... it could be an excelent replacement for Root Explorer.
Just discovered it today, great work
Had high hopes for this app... FTP worked for me but HTTP didn't, was disappointed no root access or facility to mount etc... uninstalled... will be keeping an eye on it though
Would be great if you put sshd in there too....
it looks better than ES and astro but nothing is like ROOT EXPLORER! its so fast, small, usefull and handy. plus, it can access all the system file and folders so easily and quickly without any problem. i'd recommend root explorer for all...
Sent from my XT720 using XDA App
Great app, successfully replaced Root Explorer for me. If only you can add an option to rearrange the toolbar icons, would be great.
I have remote smb folder containing about 700 images and it seems impossible to view last modifyed images first. Image viewer sorts images regardless of files sort order.
Very nice work!
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Very good app! Uninstalled ES File Explorer. Keep up the good work.
I think this is not a best file manager for Android. Even not from top 100.
Does this program work if run from an SD version of Android?
ROOT EXPLORER is the best of all
Hello, everyone
File Expert is a powerful file manager that designed to replace some paid apps with a much better, high quality, price free and ads free app. File Expert is fast becoming top file manager for Android.
With the help of File Expert, you can
* manage your SD card contents
* share them over the WIFI network using both HTTP and FTP protocols, like paid app WebSharing or WIFI File Explorer PRO, here you pay nothing but get double protocols!
* access your host computer via built-in SMB client and move files between your phone and PC
* Put a folder shortcut on desktop
* Create and decompress ZIP files, decompress RAR files
File Expert supports ROOT mode like paid app Root Explorer, under its ROOT mode you can:
* access system folders
* mount them as R/W RO
* change the permissions of folders and files
File Expert support themes, you can use themes you like to replace original one. Currently there is black theme available on the market and we will continue to provide more themes in the future.
Since the first release until now we have more than 100W users worldwide and still increase very quickly!!

Sorry currently not. But this feature is scheduled on the next release to support. Normally we will deliver a new release to our users on every weekend.
Getting better and better.
I discover File Expert couple of months ago. By far my favorite. I don't even look for an alternative by now.
Great job guys.

Okay guys, I'm going to give a testimony.
I've used Astro, ES, Linda and then this. This is a COMPLETE package. I love how I can grab some files from my laptop wirelessly, have root access, and have a beautiful file manager all at once. This has been the best file manager I've ever used, and I highly recommend it.
ES gone now...

Hi,
thank you for recommending FE! We think it's time to change, Astro and ES are good app but we think we can provide more useful and powerful alternative.
Amazing app, I switched a couple weeks ago. I put in feature requests on your forum, mainly for a refresh button for the toolbar.
Some other things that would be nice:
more archive support (7z for example)
And the 'download any file from the browser's feature astro has.
I use FE primarily, but because it lacks 7z support and the browser download feature I am forced to keep two other file managers handy.
Anyway this app is still superior to all other file managers, keep up the good work!
This is a really cool app. One request:
Option to show Toolbar only when at least one item is checked, or by pressing Menu while at least one item is checked.
Also, for some reason it takes a while (around 1 full second) for the Operation menu to show after I click on the button. Should it take this long?
I'm totally trying it!!!! As soon as I get home

No, it's not. I have tested the popup speed when touching the Oper button on various phones and tablets, all of them shows the menu immediately. I cannot feel any delay.
What's your phone?

My phone and more information is in my signature. See below. I avoided the problem by putting the cut, copy, and delete functions as buttons in the toolbar instead.

Hi all,
Loving my Optimus 3D but can't seem to work out how to rename files and folders. I know once you have taken a photo it gives you the option to Rename, but I was wondering how I could go back and rename photos and video files, and folders from before (without connecting to my computer). Anyone know?
Also can you create folders within the phone for content? And can you organize content in the Applications section, e.g. sorting Downloads in order or placing them in different categories.
Any help would be much appreciated
Cheers

To rename files and folders and create folders on your phone you'd have to have an explorer app that allows you to browse your filesystem. I'm not aware of any browser apps that don't require root (ie. Astro or Root Explorer) but then again, I've never had the need for one and always had my phones rooted.
You might wanna be carefull when renaming folders and files though.
I don't think the standard launcher allows changing the contents of the applications drawer.
Thanks for the response, appreciate it. At the risk of sounding like a total noob, what do you mean when you say having your phone rooted? I'm total new to smart phones and always just had an old simple mobile.
Also, is the Optimus 3D like the iPhone in that you need to hack it to install apps downloaded from your PC for free or can you install any apps via PC
get "estrongs file explorer". it's free and does many many many more amazing things than just letting you rename files without root requirement.

Rooting a phone basically gets you super access, kind of like having an administrator account on Windows. It comes in handy for example when you want to use custom roms, get complete file access, use screenshot tools etc.
And an Android phone is in no way an iPhone when it comes to installing apps. There's an option that when turned on allows the installation of apps you didn't get from the Market (it's in the Application section of your options menu). Presuming you only use free programs you downloaded you can just put the .apk file on your internal or external sd card and install it, either by using a file browser (such as the mentioned Estrong) to find the apk or using a separate app installer which you can download from the Market.
Awesome, thanks for the reply really appreciate it, and I actually understand it now.
So if I downloaded and installed an app or game from the internet for free, that usually had to be bought on the Android market or from Gameloft for example, could you get in trouble or banned/blocked in any way?
Sorry if this is a noob/inappropriate question
Cheers
no. google actiually lets you do what you want with your device.
Awesome, good to know. I'm really wanting the Gangstar games from gameloft but they aren't available to purchase via Gameloft yet. I can download the pirated versions and install them, but would Gameloft cause any problems when I did so or would I always have to play in airplane mode?
Most pirated software works just like the original version, just check if there's any installation instructions. The biggest disadvantage in my opinion is not being able to update pirated software through the Market.
You can use Polaris Office included in the phone as file explorer for all the naming, copying etc.. The name is a bit misleading
Nice, I didn't know that Polaris was a glorified file browser. Works great for viewing, editing and removing files and folders.
So, to the topicstarter, this is all you need to do the things you want. You can edit your filesystem and browse to your downloaded apps to install them (for example create a map called DownloadedApps, connect your phone to your pc, copy any downloaded apps to the map you created, disconnect, use Polaris to browse to the DownloadedApps map and click on any app you want to install).
If you want to rename a file or folder just long press on it and you'll be presented with all the options you need.
Yeah, I just had a play around with it, looks and works really good. Thanks for all the help folks much appreciated.
PS - If anyone could provide instructions and a link on how to install the Gangstar games (hereby showing me how to install ripped games at the same time) I would very much appreciate it. Been having no luck getting it to work
Hello there!
I've chosen to work on building a user interface for file managing on android tablets for my special problem, one of my subjects this semester. So in order to graduate, I need the help of some willing testers to test out my app.
I'll admit, it's not the best file manager. Features are scarce, the code is not that optimized both in running time and in memory allocation, and there are a lot of checking that needs to be done (like when your sdcard is currently mounted in usb mass storage mode). But my focus is the user interface and not the back end, so please excuse these things.
Here's a demonstration of the features it has:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNcyT5iwLyU
Some things to take note of:
There's no up folder button, so you can't go past /mnt/sdcard when going up the directory hierarchy
if /mnt/sdcard is not your internal sdcard's default mount path, then it'll crash
When you swipe horizontally too fast to switch tabs, it does some funky stuff making one pane invisible. touch the other pane again to make it appear again.
You CAN'T cancel a copy or past operation when it has started.
Don't do stuff like copying or moving a file to the same folder it currently is in. if you move a file or folder to the same folder, it will get deleted.
Just perform normal file operations. Avoid trivial cases as mentioned above.
So here's the link for the app: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16398746/Files.apk
And here's the link for the evaluation form: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEVQeElJb3QyR05kLUN0akliV0ExbEE6MQ#gid=0
Thank you very much! I'm open to comments here in XDA so just comment ahead and please be gentle with me, it's my first app.
nice work!
I really like the ui! Its better than for ex. In astro
But: i didnt manage to go "higher" than mnt/sdcard, so i wasnt able to see my micro sd.(how) can i do that?
And: could you add a picture preview?
Maybe you could do something that the back button works?
But all in all, i like it because of the simple buttons, the drag and drop option and its really cool.
Sry for my bad english ;D
UNCOPT File Browser is the nicest and most innovative Holo styled file browser for Android with root capabilities.
It provides all the features needed to browse and organize your pictures, files, documents and videos. It gives you access to the internal storage, sd card, external usb storage devices, internal filesystem and more (with plugins) .
Unlike other available file browsers on the market, UNCOPT File Browser also offers unique features:
Resizable split view: a simple swipe will split the screen in two and give the user two independent browsable panels that can be resized at will. File managing becomes even easier and more efficient.
Efficient archive browsing (zip, tar): unlike other apps, the archive content is never extracted in a temporary folder (or even in memory). The specific parts that need to be accessed (to display or send them) are streamed on access.
Nested archives: unlike other apps, nested archive content can be listed and accessed. To the user there is no difference between a folder, an archive and a nested archive in terms of browsing. Archives can be nested in multiple levels.
Keyboard navigation: the keyboard navigation is fully functional.
Simple action bar navigation with interactive path.
Automatic sync with MediaStore (Gallery) and the MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) connection.
Complies completely with the Android Holo Style, even on Gingerbread.
On top of that you get all the usual features such as:
Browsing.
Copy/paste using official mechanism for compatibility with other apps.
Sort by file size, file name and modification date.
Create, delete, rename, send, bookmark files and folders.
Search.
Create zip files.
Shows thumbnails for APKs and images in gridview mode.
Multi file selection.
Local Network SMB protocol (windows shares), free plugin required.
Registers as a file picker so that other applications (such as gmail) can access the files too.
UNCOPT File Browser also provides tools for rooted devices:
Browse system files like any other (including system and user apps).
Change file permissions.
Automatically remount read-only filesystems as read-write.
suid/guid/sticky special permissions
Available on Google Play. Search for UNCOPT File Browser.

Tried it, looks really awesome, but won't test more, as one of the critical features I need (and probably many others) is Cloud support (Dropbox, Gdrive, etc.)
But it really has the best UI I saw in a file manager, very smooth, looks awesome even on my Optimus One's small screen
Edit: Like a post below me, I also hope you keep getting it better, it truly has HUGE potential (holo Solid Explorer)
It is on XDA Portal, so...
looks good,nice work
really an awesome looking app,great features too.
But there are some things i really miss right now or i would like to be changed maybe
-possbility to execute an apk(right now it just opens the content)
-drag and drop for files between the 2 tabs would be awesome
-maybe a possibilty to customize the view,like disable the file size part(because on a phone,even with 4,7" it takes up a lot of screen.
-sometimes it is a bit hard to hit the triangle for the menu of the file to show up
Edit
Just noticed I can hit the whole date/size space to open the file menu, nice
hope this amazing file explorer keeps updating,it really has a huge amount of potential :good:
Bought the full version just to support the developer. Keep it up, i love it!
Looks really good! Keep up the awesome work
Im liking the whole Holo look and how it works to browse files, but I can't install simple apks? It just views it as if it was a zip files. i can easily install apks on other file browsers except this one? Maybe it's just me but thought i'd share the problem im having.
finally found a simple yet powerful root file management app. Would be cool if there is an option to show the folder properties of the folder i.e. the amount of data inside the folder.
Love the App! Got the paid version.
As along with the rest, installing an APK is a mandatory must!
Am sure this will be in an updated version

Odd, I hate this feature on es, its the first thing I turn off. Many apps dont install with that. Why do you want it at all?
...
The file borwser looks great, thanks. The only thing is the icon, its not great
Looks good so far. But currently not usable for me. Some things are missing, like cloud. And if you press on pictures they don't open, you have to go through the context menu. Thats kinda annoying. And it laggs on Galaxy s3 (CM 10.1) while scrolling. But the idea is good, im looking forward to future versions of it. Thanks.

Ummmmm..... to sideload apks for testing Why "wouldn't" you want that feature?
You'll find there are other places to get apk's other than the Play Store. XDA for example. Other than tossing them in /system/app which is rather counter-productive, the only option is to install via FM.

Will give this ago ! Many thanks.
Thank You!

I think he misunderstood... ES has a feature to install apps without the package installer... it just installs in the background
Thank you all for your feedback.
We're working hard to add all the features you requested.
As for the apks, you can install them by clicking on the thumb (bottom right corner of the row/cell). It will bring up the dropdown menu. Click open and it should do the trick.
A lot of people are complaining about it (not only to install apks but also to open a file), we'll try to make it more obvious.
