Hello,
This is my first "useful" (i think) app for Android.
Maybe you have in your device a lot of music with bad file names. This app will help you!
Select type of rename (ex. "Title - Artist" + 3 more), app will read id3 tags and rename your mp3/flac file(s).
Sure, you can see preview and decide if its good. You can also select folder, and app will fix file names of all music files.
Example:
You have song "get_lucky_daft_punk.mp3". Open Music Renamer, press menu (tree dots) > Select > File, pick song file. MusicRenamer will display some info about song. Then click on Rename button, select Rename type to "%Artist% - %Title%, press OK, see preview if its good press OK again. Ta daaa Successfully renamed. New file name is "Daft Punk - Get Lucky.mp3".

My issue is not so much the filenames but the id3 tags.
I sometimes borrow music from YouTube, just to try a couple of apps found in this forum and not because I'm too tight to buy them lol.
Anyway these downloaded mp3 don't contain id3 tags and usually have long strange filenames.
Anyway could you create a function to create id3 from filename as well as rename file according to id3.
Thanks

Thinking about this. When i will have a time, i will look on it. But files need to have good file names if we want detect data, which will be written as ID3 tags, right Another way is use some services like Shazam, but at the moment i dont know if any of these services have public API (free ) ...
So, i think i have work for two monthly holidays
p.s: i know your problem i set up tag by tag with MP3tag on PC some times ago. now i dont do it, its waste of time. now i download music from torrents they have good ID3 tags
Used this app to rename some songs, selected the folder & it renamed them. Then to my horror I discover that it deleted the songs it didnt rename

TonyK2005, hmm, you are using Samsung phone. there is nightmare with Samsung and his own sdcard locale (its /sdcard/external_sd/?). Your songs should be in device, try use some File Manager and search for them. and, maybe, can you please upload /system/etc/vold.conf?
any developer to help me? its this code right?
public File getExternalSD() {
external_sd = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
if (android.os.Build.DEVICE.contains("Samsung") || android.os.Build.MANUFACTURER.contains("Samsung")){
File ext_sd=new File(external_sd+"/external_sd/");
if (ext_sd.exists()) {
external_sd = ext_sd;
}
}
return external_sd;

Yes I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S3 & my music was stored on the internal memory at /sdcard/music
I used es file manager to try & locate the missing songs but they were gone. Luckily I had a backup on an old external SD

Ok, sorry for problems. I am looking to code and dont understand. it should work, but it doesnt.
can you do 2 tests? please make backup first =)
1. try open file and rename it.
2. try open folder which is on External SD Card and rename files.
Really awesome app, it's very useful and saved me so much time.
One suggestion to improve it though - why don't you add the select file /folder button to the main screen, instead of having to use the menu button every time?
Basically my suggestion is to add some functionality to the main screen, as currently it's pretty useless after tyou get the basics of the app.

good idea!
A minor issue I had with the app was that after I renamed my entire library and started poweramp it gave me error saying it can't play the file, and that was for every song.
At first I thought that the app somehow broke my songs, but then I figured to go to settings and force close poweramp as it has the habit of running in the background. After I did that I rescanned my library and it was all fine, every file playing normally. I assume that only rescan without FC is going to work too, in case someone else has the same or similar issue.
You might want to add that to OP so people can have an easier time finding a solution.
Also I don't know how to extract the strings file in order to translate the app in Bulgarian, so it'd be good of you gave me a have there.

download strings_061.zip, unpack it. then open strings.xml in notepad++. and translate strings:
<string name="rename">Rename</string> to<string name="rename">Преименувай</string>
so all text between <string name=string ID> and </string>
save it, and give it to me...
about rescan media: my app do some type of media rescan. you can see that Google Music player works and its updated. Poweramp have probably own databases and this is problem. Needs to be update probably (and maybe PowerAmp have API for it, will check).

No need to do a FC. Go into Poweramp settings > folders and library > full rescan

New version 0.70
- added support for fixing ID3 tags using filenames, only for Mp3 files!
Lets explain..
Select file - for example - This Is What It Feels Like - Armin Van Buuren.mp3
Click on Set ID3 tags
Select type of parsing file name to %Title% - %Artist% and confirm.
New ID3 tags are: Artist: Armin Van Buuren, Title: This Is What It Feels Like
note: i am thinking about fixing ID3 tags of all files in folder, but i dont know if it will be good and it will not damage some files with good ID3 tags
- you can change app theme (Settings are still in White, even if theme is set to Dark, fck, i dont care)
- small fixes
MusicRenamer 0.71
- fix for Samsung phones
- fixed bug in Rename Preview ("null" was displayed before first renamed file)
- add bitrate info (yay!)
Sorry for the necro. Is there any alternative to this now?

Wow, seems like a great app!! Gonna try it!!!!! Thanks!
I just installed and yes, sir! Looks great. One suggestion though, other than just creating the QRCode, you should allows for an option to copy the QRCode to clipboard so we can paste it somewhere, or better yet, allow to save the QRCode as an image file somewhere. That would be great.
Short question... when sending a contact from my phone to another one... is this contact send with my used contact picture or without the picture?
Nice will try out now.

It tries to send the picture but not all pictures can be accessed by the app. For example, Facebook-sync'd images will not be sent because the facebook app goes out of its way to make them hard to get.
But generally, it will try to send any picture added through Android.

Thanks for the ideas! I think saving the QR code as an image file is definitely something I could add in there (and shouldn't be too hard).
But I'm not sure about copying to the clipboard. That's a lot of bitmap data to copy to the clipboard and I'm not sure exactly where someone would paste it or of any apps that support the pasting of bitmap data.
If you could let me know of how you think you might use a copy feature specifically, I can maybe think though how to do it a bit more. But for now I'm not sure I see/understand the use-case.
Gonna try this
Thanks guys, I really appreciate the feedback, and feel free to let me know of any features you want added.
Though dev time is a bit slow on this app but I always try and get to requested features eventually

Just added the save QR code feature in 1.2.8 last night, it's on the Market now.
Also in 1.2.8, the apps now sort themselves alphabetically as was requested in the Market comments.

Some ideas
Just tried the app, and I think it's pretty good. I think the user interface is great, but I have a few suggestions to make the app better:
1. In the "Applications" view, the menu is barely readable. The black background is fine, but you should give color icons with white text to the buttons for save, load, email, etc.
2. When viewing a previously saved app list, it would be awesome if the list would somehow indicate which apps are currently installed on the device. Perhaps using different colors for the app's name, such as yellow for installed and red for not installed.
3. When saving a list, append a date code to the default file name so that older lists are not easily over-written.
4. When viewing a list, have a different action occur when the name is pressed, as opposed to just toggling the checkmark. For example, if I am viewing a list of apps, then pressing on an app's name would take me to its market page and pressing on the checkmark would perform the toggle.
Again, I think you've got a solid app. Keep up the good work!

Hey Thunderwolf, thanks for the great feedback!
1) Yeah, I need to remove that dark background actually. That's a byproduct of HTC Sense/TouchWiz/MotoBlur not playing nice with Android themes, and a limitation of the themes themselves. Will likely just go back to the regular style looking menu. I'll have that fixed in the next update.
2) That's a great suggestion, I will definitely look into that!
3) Not a bad idea, I may warn the user if a file exists too.
4) This feature is already part of the app, you just need to long press to get a context menu with many more options for that app. This works with contacts as well. With photos and music, long press will let you quick preview the image/song.
Cheers & thanks again -- very thoughtful stuff there
Great app! I just wish there was a way to share non-market apps, but I understand that there is a security risk behind that.

Thanks for the kind words & feedback
But yeah, it shares links to apps, not the apps themselves. The links it can share are Android Market, Androlib, and AppBrain. Though I'll probably add Amazon too eventually.
Not really sure how to help people share links to non-market stuff, though I may add a "note" feature where users can write their own notes in at some point.

Thanks, that's actually a really good idea but I'm not really sure if it's possible. Although, I guess something like AppBrain does this?
I'll take a look and see if there is a way to send the market multiple install commands. Right now it just sends you to the details page of an app -- I'm not sure how to trigger the download/install.... That's usually considered an exploit. But never say never!

Download
Buy me a beer
The download is based on old source code, I don't have that source anymore due to a hard-disk failure.
I'm rebuilding the application as a open source project.
Source code C# version (Windows)
Source code Java version (Windows / Mac OS / Linux)
With this little program you can simply change icons of your android application.
It even lets you change the applications name.
But wait mike..... there's more.....
It even lets you edit the text used in applications.
Sounds to good to be true...
Well... to be honest.... it is.
But I've come a long way from that initial question to the final answer.
My conclusion so far, it works for most of my applications.
It probably will work on most of yours as well.
(Caution: when overwriting an existing application you will loose your associated data!!!)
Special thanks goes out to:
Brut.all for creating Apktool, the backbone of this little project.
Requirements:
Java & .Net Framework 3.5 (Why build on one platform if you can build on two? I know, I know....)
For installing system apps - S-OFF
Nice to know:
Clicking on the [Icons:] tag in the General tab will open a browser window and search for icons in "Google images".
Donations will be "forwarded" to fellow developers like Brutt.all and others, reinforcing the greatness of today's world.
How the magic works:
When opening an APK file it first tries to decompile it using APK Tool (with the version selected in the settings tab)
If decompile failed, because of a missing framework file, it tries to find this file on your phone.
Most of the times it will find what its looking for, pull it off your phone and tries to recompile the whole thing again.
If somehow it cannot find the required framework file, it will provide you a list of possible files on your phone. You can then choose the correct file yourself.
Assuming this process finishes without any problem you now can edit the apk file.
When you press Apply it will recompile the apk and then sign the newly compiled file.
- System APK files (APK files that needed an additional framework file) will get a copy of the original signature.
- Other APK files will get a brand new signature.
When you Click the phone animation it will push the APK to your phone
- System APK files will be pushed to /system/app (ADB PUSH)
- Other APK files will be installed the normal way (ADB INSTALL)
If install failed due to some signature failure it will do some additional fancy tricks and try it again.
Upcoming features:
New option in settings tab -> Only allow one instance of APK Edit to open at once.
New option in settings tab -> Add/remove APK file association to registry.
New option on startup -> Option to open up a "Phone Explorer", lets you edit APK files directly from phone.
Known issues:
CarHomeGoogle.apk - Doesn't save changes
Quickoffice.apk - Doesn't show up after installing

[I]0.1 - Initial release[/I]
For the record... only use on you're own apk files, otherwise it's not that legal I think.
Looks nice..
I got an error on one apk though..There seems to be an unhandled exception when the filename contains special characters..
Other than that, the program looks and works awesome..Will comment in detail after I decompile something major..
Thanks//
One question:
The program shows smali files below the main prog, and on selecting the folder it opens in explorer. Would changing the smali be updated in the main prog on clicking Apply? Also a dialog to say that the file has been saved with changes, would be nice.
Tnx for the input, will look into the filename handling!
In the background it recompiles the whole thing, so changes to the smali code should be included in the application if you press apply.
About that dialog.... it's being grown in its incubator now..
Think it will hatch tomorrow

I can do better.
My filename is Sample of Filename★(1.1).apk
Maybe the★ character is doing it
I've attached screenshots of the error.(Exception1.jpg)
Error Handle: The directory name C:\Users\Kpcc\AppData\Local\Temp\Sample of Filename?(1.1) is invalid.
I'm also attaching a text file with the actual error code given in the exception>Details. ( exception error text.txt)
The blanked out part is my actual username. Just an alphanumeric. Let it be Kpcc.
Edit: Got one more exception. This occured after inputting the ip of my phone in adb wireless and pressing enter. (Exception2.jpg, Exception2.txt)

Maybe a missing .NET framework? The filename handle is the only error I'm getting in Win 7 Ultimate 64bit. And the filename I used is of course not "normal"..
By the way, a few more items on my wishlist:
1. Advanced Search (and replace?) for strings, with ability to use F3 for finding the next instance
2. Sorting the strings/variables in alphabetical and order of occurence, and another coloumn in the content tab with the name of the smali file in which the string appears.
3. Ability to Save As, without modding the source file.
4. Adb push via cable
5. Listing all the smalis in a tab, and ability to manual edit each one individually (Opening up Notepad would be fine. Maybe a Shell "Start file.txt"?)
Just a few wishes which would make it a powerful tool..
@max63094 Hmmm, what could go wrong... think droidzone is onto somthing with his comment about .net framework.
I used the .Net Framework 3.5 to create the whole thing.
You can download this for free at Microsoft
@droidzone, tnx again for the input and will work on the file issue, nice wishlist btw!!
Stuff I get exited about
I'm afraid I can't promise you all the requested features, have to check the required ammount of effort for some of them.
Have to balance my time, you know how it is whahaha
Sorting alphabetical shouldn't be that big a problem, as for the save as and adb push via cable.
Will work on those first!

Of course..I know how even the tiniest of things can go wrong in an effort which involves file i/o..I'm rather amazed that your Version 0.2 is so finished! A month ago, I was working on a Gui File Explorer for Android, with Adb and Fastboot commands..However time didnt allow me to complete it..
Have you used apk manager? That's what I use when it comes to decompiling apks. Of course once it decompiles, all the rest of functions has to be done by hand. If you havent, check it out. It's the only other program which comes close to a gui. That uses batch commands of course.
@droidzone, Yeah, time sucks! ever finished a beta?
Funny you mention apk manager.
I'm fairly new to the android scene, but i bumped into apk manager yesterday.
Looks very promising, thinking of replacing the backbone with the crazy work of our dear friend Daneshm90.
Read some interesting stuff about the compression size in correlation to compatibility it could provide.
Maybe a little slider in the settings tab, giving you a simple tweaking mechanism.
Something like:
Big size (compatible) -------------------- Small size (less compatible)
Anyhow.... my brain is making overtime here ;-)
hmm .. just took an app .. changed the icon and the title .. and uploaded it back to the phone.
App doesn't appear anymore.
What might have gone wrong?
Not even a beta. It exists as several separate modules, which have to be joined together. Work stopped when I had to give my phone for service.
Via T3 phone of the year 2010 - HTC Desire

Euhm... I renamed the title once and couldn't find it in its original place.
The app drawer will place icons alphabetical.
But maybe that was just me being stupid (this really happened whaha) and your app really vanished....
Is it just one app that has this behaviour?

Hey everyone
Just wanted to post a reference link to my Mizuu Movies application thread, which is found under the Android Apps / Games section: Mizuu Movies - XDA thread
The application has been developed for Honeycomb on the Acer Iconia A500, and should support all Honeycomb tablets. There's a free and a paid version of the application - would really appreciate it if you'd try it out!
FREE VERSION • PAID VERSION
Thanks a lot!
that looks very cool. Very XBMC like which is a nice Ui. If I added TV series will it bunch all the seasons into one section? Like oh I don't know Johnny Bravo.
Click a Johnny Bravo icon, opens up season folders and then select the season then the episode?
or will I have 5 Johnny Bravo icons on the main menu?
also will there be more customizations in the future if i got the paid version? like something simple like background color or upload my own background?
Looks nice! Think I'll try it.
Great app but doesn't scan /Removable/MicroSD/ for files just internal storage only. Sent him a PM to see about getting it added or the ability to pick specific folders to scan that way my videos recorded with the tab don't show up too.
I would like a Movie app (and one for Music and Photos too) like this one that scans my networked SMB/CIFS drive.
Is this possible?

Thanks! Well, this is the Movies application, so I've actually programmed it to ignore TV show files (although this can be disabled). If you disable it, you'll have multiple entries for each show, yes - one for each episode.
I am however working on a TV Show app, which will have that part covered with fragments, TV show info and info on each episode.
Yes - there'll be more customizations. I've got lots of ideas that I want to do, and by the looks of it, I'll have plenty to do

No problem at all, perhaps an initial setup window at first install to pick the folders your movies are stored in and give us options for more than 1 for those of us who use both internal and the SD card.
So far this is one of the best apps I have used since I use my Transformer for movies often.
If you need a tester with a Transformer for the TV app let me know.

I'll probably just add the different sdcard directories, and leave the setup / updates as they are. I really like the simplicity of simply pressing a button and letting the tablet do all the hard work for you (finding your movies without you having to specify any folders). If you'd like to remove found movie, you can do that from the details view in the top right corner
Please note that in the current version, all database changes are deleted when you update your library. This means that all favourites, manually identified movies will be lost and deleted movies will appear once again. I am working on something to (optionally) avoid this.
I'll keep you in mind for some testing
So there will be an update to search in external sd card? I clicked on start search and nothing happened very promising though!

Yes, definitely. It's quite possibly coming today with a few other fixes. I see that some people have been experiencing force closes because they tried searching without any mounted memory media. It's a bit foolish to do that, but it shouldn't crash nonetheless
Hey guys
Couldn't help myself - I've released an update, which adds support for external SD cards. Here's the change log:
Version 1.2.5 (July 25)
Added support for external SD cards
Added a new theme (Wallpaper Theme)
Minor bug fixes
If you're using the Lite version, you may not notice the added support, though.
The application prioritizes the internal memory, so if you've got eight or more movies on the internal memory, you won't be seeing any files from the external SD card.
Also added a new theme in the paid version, which will use your current wallpaper as the application background.
I've just uploaded it, so it may take a few minutes for it to appear on Android Market - please be patient
Hope you'll like it!
Will there be any support of .avi and .mkv files ?
Thank you !

The upcoming version adds support for both, but it's limited support.
For .mkv files, you're required to have a third party application installed to watch the videos - or you'll watch them without sound (default Honeycomb support).
For .avi files, you'll also need a third party application the videos can be opened with.
What would be great is if you could add movies that dont exist on the device. I have a number of movies on an external hard drive which i connect to my TV. Id love to be able to browse through these on my Transformer to decide which movie to watch without the movies actually being on the device.

Quick tip: Create an empty text file with the name of your movie and change the extension from ".txt" to ".mp4", and you can have just that
For example:
"Avatar.mp4"
The files won't play, but you'll be able to have them in your overview, watch details and trailers.
Just some feedback if you don't mind:
1.) The app looks great. I love the overall scheme.
But...
1.) Could we have the ability to make the covers smaller?
2.) The app forced closed the first time I launched it.
3.) It couldn't find the cover to a TV show that I have though I had allow tv shows ticked.
4.) The information for the Hulk TV show from the 70's was incorrectly identified as the movie of the same name from the 80's.
Just a few things but if these types of things can get worked out...this will be worth paying for.

1) I've been considering adding a gridview as an option, but not sure when this will come.
2) Can you please send a crash report if it does it again? And quite possibly a list of all video files you've got on your device - that'd really help me a lot
3 / 4) For movies that are identified incorrectly, use the Manual identification option (looks like a search button) in the movie details view. Here you can re-identify files. If it still can't find the cover, you can always add a jpg file with the same name as the video file in the same folder. The app will automatically use that instead

[APP][4.1+] FX File Explorer Dev Thread (7.0 released)
FX 7.0 is now available!
Note: This initial post is now VERY out of date and will be corrected very soon. Screenshots are from old prior versions (2017/08/10)
Hello all,
This is the ongoing development thread for FX File Explorer. I greatly appreciate feature suggestions, bug reports, and general feedback!
FX intends to be an uncluttered, everyday-usable file manager for Android. The primary development goal has been to create the same level of usability, intuitiveness, and efficiency as that offered by the file manager on your desktop computer.
Local file management features of FX are free, including the root features, indexed search, cleaning tools, usage view, non-encrypted archive creation/extraction, the text editor, and all other viewers (e.g. script exec, binary viewer, image viewer). The network/cloud stuff and media-specific stuff (e.g. browsing music by album, editing playlists) is a paid add-on called "FX Plus".
The free version of FX is not a "Lite" version or some kind of watered-down demo. There is no advertising in FX. And there is no user-tracking, phoning home, or any other "doubleplusungood" stuff of any kind in FX.
FX Connect Demonstration
A demonstration of FX connect. Phones are paired together using NFC by opening FX and touching their backs together. Transfers take place over a high-speed Wi-Fi Direct connection.
Home Screen
The "Home Screen" appears when you first open FX. The idea of the home screen is that you create bookmarks to the folders you actually use, rather than milling through the garbage every app places in the root folder of your SD card.
One last note regarding the free-vs-plus stuff: The features shown in the "Media" and "Internet and Network" sections are part of the "FX Plus" add-on, while everything else is free. And another note: the home-screens below have every option turned on: you can use the "View" menu to customize what is shown.
The first image shows a default home screen.
The second image shows the home screen configured with a translucent dark theme and view mode set to "Icon". The translucent dark theme uses your default system wallpaper (or optionally an alternate wallpaper of your choosing).

Directory Browsing
These screenshots show FX viewing a directory. The one on the left shows the Material Design Teal theme, the one on the right uses a translucent theme.
.....
Windows and Split View
FX supports multiple (unlimited) windows, with the ability to view one or two at a time.
The first screenshot shows the window menu, which is accessible by tapping the slide-out icon in the upper left corner or sliding your finger from the left edge of the screen to the right.
The second screenshot shows the split view mode. You can enter this mode from the window menu by tapping "Split View", or by dragging the path bar from the top of the screen downward.
.....
Root / Developer Features
FX supports root access. Root access requires an add-on, but the add-on is free.
Root access is kept entirely separate from normal file browsing, and can optionally be protected.
Developer features include:
Root access may be secured via PIN, Password, or Warning; secured access can be enabled for viewing or only for modifications
Remount filesystems as read/write or read-only
Disable System Apps
Root Usage View
Recursive Search
Modify permissions
Change Ownership/Group, with Android-based design (e.g. select an app-specific user by app name; see screenshot)
Symlink Creation (relative and absolute)
Shell Script Execution, with support for creating launcher shortcuts to execute scripts [NR]
Explore APK Contents [NR]
View Android Binary XML Files in Text Viewer [NR]
View any file in Binary Viewer [NR]
MD5/SHA1 Checksum and Composite Checksum Calculation/Comparison (checksum directory structures, optionally with UNIX permissions, [NR])
Items marked with [NR] do not require root, but may offer more functionality when root is available.
.....
.....
.....
Text Editor
FX includes a full-featured text editor. It can edit local text files, edit files as root, and edit files on remote hosts (with FX Plus add-on). Features include:
Undo/Redo with History (able to undo/redo multiple times)
Cut/Copy/Paste
Pinch-to-zoom font scaling
Proportional and fixed fonts, word wrap can be enabled/disabled
Optional shortcut bar can be enabled to provide arrow keys and fast access to undo/redo
Jump to line number, beginning/ending of file
Find text within documents
File browsing for Open/Save As
Enable/disable autocorrect
Multiple color schemes
Save/load files in different character sets
Plus Add-On
All features demonstrated above are entirely free. The Plus Add-On is the paid component of FX, and adds additional features:
Application management: browse user, system, or all installed apps
Browse installed apps by permission (e.g. find all apps which require GPS location or Internet access)
(Root Access Required) View /data usage by application, disable any application
AES-128/256 Zip Encryption/decryption; browse inside encrypted zip files/folders, view text files, images, audio and video files without ever writing decrypted version to media
Browse all Images, browse images by folder (e.g. Camera folders on different media/SD cards)
Browse camera Videos or all videos on device
Browse Music by Artist, Album, Playlist, or view all music
Browse ringtones, podcasts, notifications, and alarm sounds
Create playlists, add albums/tracks/artists/playlists to playlists, reorder playlists via drag-and-drop
Bluetooth FTP and Bluetooth Pairing within FX (pushing files via Bluetooth does NOT require FX Plus if your device supports it)
FX Plus adds support for the following network/cloud services:
SMB (Windows Networking), supports network browsing (SMB1 and SMB2)
FTP, including FTP-S and FTP-ES; browsing local network supported via mDNS
SSH, including public key, password, and interactive authentication; browsing local network supported via mDNS
WebDAV, including WebDAV over HTTPS; browsing local network supported via mDNS
Google Drive
Dropbox
Box
SugarSync
Microsoft OneDrive
OwnCloud (by creating a WebDAV connection)

Hi,
Great, great app. The curious thing with Android is that when you think "is there an app for that?", usually you stumble upon it the same day! Your app is great, fast and no-frills - I am amazed at the speed, even though both my internal and SD storage is full.
However, have you seen MIUI file manager? It also classifies apks, PDFs, and whatnot along with media. The only thing THAT is missing is SD card support for this classification, and the ability to show both storages as a whole.
I think this is where you can improve your app and make it (safely) the best file manager on Android - i.e. adding more file associations such as apks and pdfs etc. Keep improving it and someday we won't have to worry about where each file is lying.
Also the UI could use a little more polish.
Thanks for the app
Just installed, and actually very surprised! The app is fast! I mean, no lag at all, even with continuous reloading of picture previews ).
First thing I miss - editing files. Root Explorer provides simple text editor, which is quite handy. Next - changing permissions - I need it ). And executing .sh/.rc etc scripts.
And what about multiple selection, and actions on these, like move/copy/delete?
I liked your text viewer has font settings - it's amazing! Why not implement same feature for file lists? Coz I find titles bit bold, I want them lighter/smaller. Same sizing ability would be good for icons too. I don't like big icons.
Bookmarks. I need bookmarks for folders, so I can access them fast.
Otherwise it's good. I'll uninstall both RE and Estrongs once your app has features I listed ) Good job!
Very nice, fast, different look and feel app. Seems very promising.
I really like this.
Is there a way to select multiple files?

Thanks! Yes, multiple file selection is accomplished by a swipe gesture:
(the above is supposed to be an animated GIF image, if it's not showing, see the Youtube video at the top).

Thanks for suggestions, there is definitely more work to be done on the Linux/root/technical-user end of things, root access, remounting, chown and chmod being the most notable omissions.
I do want to add bookmarks, but it may be post 1.0. Not quite certain on the UI integration of these (have been thinking about a couple of different methods). One thing I think I want is the ability to add certain bookmarks directly to the home screen. As a for instance, I'd personally like /sdcard/Documents and maybe /sdcard/Download to be directly on my home screen. Too many top-level bookmarks would be quite annoying though, so likely will want two categories.
May wind up doing a mini text editor for root editing, but need to check if more powerful stuff like "Jota" support su as well.
Thanks again!

Thanks, I actually had not been previously exposed to MIUI, but after browsing YouTube a bit I see what you're talking about. I'm not certain how they're classifying the additional file categories beyond Music, Video, and Images. FX is using Android's MediaStore provider to do this. It may be that the underlying MIUI firmware has been modified to index the entirety of the filesystem, or it may be that the file manager itself is doing it (and possibly thus relying on itself being used for all modifications). Honeycomb appears to have added support for adding arbitrary files to the MediaStore but I've yet to play with it.
I do want to add the ability to place bookmarks on the FX home screen to provide immediate access to folders you use frequently (e.g. Downloads and Documents).
What phone are you using? On most phones the media indices do appear in a single database, the exception being HTC devices such as the Droid Incredible which has two completely independent databases, one for the SD card and the other for the internal user storage.
What aspects of the UI would you most like to see improved? That is, is it the actual interaction with the interface, the aesthetics (overall appearance, icons, gradients, etc), or UI performance? Are there places where you find it non-intuitive? Any suggestions appreciated!
Thanks again for the comments!
Great work!!!! The only thing I miss is a root option...but its a great great app!!!
I have an idea...maybe like you have a swipe gesture for multiselect...you can add a swipe gesture for delete copy and paste...a cross for delete for example...

P.S. I fall in love with your top navigation bar - it's so amazing! It looks like Win7 one, which is really great.
looks very promising. when there is a root option, i will gonna use this as default filemanager. good work
holy ****. nice one, amazing work
finally something that replaces the crappy default gallery app!
i love the window system, and the way to multiselect.. and it loads so fast!!
rly rly nice work
interface seems really cool. finally a file manager that is not ugly!
Thanks again everyone, loving the comments!

Great work!!!! The only thing I miss is a root option...but its a great great app!!!
I have an idea...maybe like you have a swipe gesture for multiselect...you can add a swipe gesture for delete copy and paste...a cross for delete for example...

A quicker multiselect might well be possible to implement, i.e., start by dragging horizontally and then cross through any additional items you want selected. Beyond that though we're fairly booked up with single-finger gestures given that horizontal = select and vertical = scroll, both of which have to happen immediately. Could also look at vertical double-finger swiping for (de)selecting multiple items at once in list views.

Hope to have an update out in the next 24-48hr (edit: delayed a bit due to encrypted FTP fun and excitement), don't want to promise on that given that there's always bugs and testing...really don't like pushing updates unless I feel they're very solid. Have been focusing on network stuff in this next release, including FTPS support (implicit and explicit) and notification of SSH keys (and warnings for changed keys).
The next version will also be allowed to reside on the SD card, assuming it tests correctly there.
This wonderfull app will get a root option in the future? Like root explorer...I realy espect that...thank again for this app!!!!

[APP][2.2+] [★GIVEAWAY★] Ultra Explorer - Root Explorer [★PREMIUM★][XDA EXCLUSIVE]
Latest Version :
Ultra Explorer - Exclusive XDA Release Version ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Google + Community - Link
Hey Guys, I want to share with you all my baby 'Ultra Explorer' RELOADED version 1.2 which I like to believe is Root Explorer on Steroids. I released the first version in 2013 and it became really popular and many people pinged me if I would be developing this more. I took the codebase I published on github and started developing on it and have come up with a explorer that meets all of my needs. It has all the basic functionalities of a File Explorer plus functionalities i wanted other File Explorers had . It is totally custom made and has features that will give other file explorers a run for their money. I was wondering, the market has so many File Managers, some with very extensive GUI. Still File Explorers with Easy to Use and somewhat decent GUI are famous among the users. Hence i had a clear aim, to make a No-Nonsense Get-Your-Thing-Done Explorer for Android. Another thing is i hate installing Lots of small apps that clutter my Android with crap. I always wanted an application that hosts all these small apps and save me the trouble of navigating from one app to another. Thus I came up with Ultra Explorer a complete Explorer for your Android Phone that hosts more than 10 useful apps that you require for your daily needs with Android. I will outline some of the features :

Looks useful, but I can't open it(force close) on my stock S6 on Marshmallow. I don't want to miss the premium offer!
EDIT: Thanks @Primokorn Enabling the storage permission worked! One of my major annoyances in MM is that permissions are not on by default.

Glad to see another open source file manager.
1/ Welcome Dynamic permissions would be nice too.
5/ Modify bookmarks
6/ Speed up splash screen (loading data) => I hope it won't turn into a bloated app. IMHO a good file manager is a good file manager (extra features shouldn't be added if they decrease performance).
Anyway, I guess you already have a lot of things in mind for the next releases
@Fullmetal Jun
Manually grant permissions (Storage at least) and try again.
thanks....
On latest dev preview for Android N, after granting storage permission or all permissions the app freezes about 2-3 seconds after opening.
