I've been using it for a long time but still I see people suggesting ES file manager or even Astro. (Not "bad" apps btw) But File Expert is hands down the best file management program I've used for android. Supports root file management, smb, nfs, ftp (and other network shares including clouds) archive management, and bluetooth filesharing. Best of all it is free without ads. Let me know if you enjoy it as much as I do.
Tried it... like root explorer better... probably just because I'm more used to it... might stick with this a little bit to see if it grows on me... hasn't plagued me like es with not mounting rw some of the time so that's a plus....

I just couldn't see this thread and not jump on here to represent Super Manager. Root explorer, APK manager(system too), task killer(system too!), app protector, backup, and way more. And this is the lite version. Go give it a look see!

I've been using "file manager" nothing special. Thanks for the suggestions checking them out now.
Antek explorer ftw. Try it, just once. Zip management is slightly wacky but best file manager imo

Used to be astro for me but that's so bloated and slow now I only use it for .zip files. Now I tend to just use file manager.

Root Explorer does multi-select, but I'm not sure what people are talking about when they mention zip files. I'm guessing it's the same thing I want, and that's the ability to remove things from a zip file without having to unzip and rezip it. Adding them would be nice, but just removing them is what I'm after.
Obvious example would be downloading a ROM to my phone, removing some of the APKs I don't want and flash away without needed to use my PC.
FWIW, I've been a Root Explorer guy for a while now, but I used Super Manager quite a bit a while back. I see they have some pretty neat things now. I may have to buy the full version of it and see how that acts.
Totally agree with you on file expert... the http and ftp servers built in are AWESOME and it can do everything else.

I agree. I've uninstalled it because it's just not the same app it once was. I use Root Explorer because I paid for it.
I have tried:
File expert: ok but not as finger friendly and smooth scrolling as I would want. However lots of nice stuff.
Astro: awesome since day one, however no root mounting and access...
Antek: meh boring ugly
Root explorer: liked it for a week or 2 then started to be unreliable...
My best and favorite is:
File Slick
Best regular and root file explorer with themes and finger friendly and reliable, also free and options to turn off ads!
Get it now!!!
It replaced astro and file expert as well as root explorer and the other file explorers I listed

Using Root Explorer or similar app you can long press on it and select "Copy" then go to system/app folder and paste it and reboot. You should be good to go

Sorry..maybe its early in the morning...but this "system app folder" exactly where is that located...i apologize...and thanks in advance?
If you open root explorer and are in the 1st level of folders (top page title is simply '/'), from there scroll to the bottom and hit 'system' (not 'sys') folder, then hit the 'app' folder. There you should copy/paste the .apk, reboot phone and the app will be installed.

Down load File Expert its free, then in settings or menu on the apply enable R/W & then when you look at your phone go in to /system/app & move or copy into there using R/W permissions ( make sure your looking in your phone & not into sd/ )

Sent from my pimp out evo using xda premium
You can just take the apk's that you want to mod out and mod them that way I'm not much of a themer to help you with that.
To remove apps that you don't want or anything you don't want you can use a file manager with root like es or root explorer and just delete them.
You can also just do this to the ROM before you flash it using 7zip or something similar.

I'm not real good with that stuff but I on don't think you can have 2 htc music apks at the same time also if its not for that ROM I would think it might need to be signed the right way not sure on that.
But you can try putting it in system/app then change permissions to rw-r-r then reboot .
Make sure you have a backup messing with things like that.

Quick Question...why do picture hide, picture vault, apps...need all those permissions?? I dont understand why they need internet access to hide pictures..anyone has an explanation? Thanks!!
If you need to hide your pr0n, you don't need those apps. Using a file manager such as ES File Explorer, create a new folder with a "." in front of it (Ex. ".Pictures"). The phone doesn't search for media in folders with a "." in front of their name. I think for ES File Explorer, you'll have to go into the settings so you can view all the folders with a "."

Well after installing the LH9 update, my battery life is horrible like so many others.
I am going to downgrade back to a rooted LG1, and I want to prevent the OS from trying to do the OTA update again.
I've googled and done some searches on here, and read a few ways, but wanted to know if someone can clarify an easy way to do it.
Not to sound cheap, but I'd hate to buy Titanium backup just to freeze one thing, being as I wouldn't use the program for anything else.
I also read about just deleting the AT&T update program. But an not sure the best way to do that.
So I am just seeking an easy way to just stop the update process without having to spend money on apps I wouldn't use for anything else.
Using tibu to freeze an app is the exact same thing as disabling it in application settings. I think what your looking for is device management. I think.

Ok I just looked and it's called "AT&T Software Update" and you can't disable it normally in the phone. The option is grayed out.
Are there any free programs to Freeze apps? I wouldn't mind buying TiBu if I felt I would get more use out it. But for now I only need it to do that one thing, so I just can't justify the cost of it, being as it isn't too cheap.
TiBu is the best $6 I've spent on this hobby.
If your not rooted tibu won't do you any good anyway. But if you are rooted, go into system/app folder and either rename or move the apk in question. OTA no more.

go to system/app and delete wssyncmldm.apk and wssyncmldm.odex that will stop it. I would move them to your sdcard and keep them in case you need them again.

Make fure you enable root explorer in es explorer settings and make system writable (also in settings).
I've been using ES file explorer to manage my files but its interface is a little annoying (e.g it keeps opening multiple window when I use shortcuts)

I use Root Explorer. I am not positive, but you might be able to use it non rooted also. Hopefully because to me its the cleanest most intuitive explorer I've used. ES has a lot of features, its just too messy IMO.

Solid explorer :thumbup:
Wireless FTP support, dual panel for easy copy, move or drag & drop, bookmarks. Has all the hallmarks of your standard file explorer, and for the most part you'll be able to accomplish most of the same in any. Root explorer gets honorable mention, too.

Solid Explorer is AWESOME. I tried it out back when it was free and fell in love with it. As soon as a paid version came out I bought it immediately. The dual panel alone is amazing being able to just move stuff from one side to the other. Really cool. I HIGHLY recommend it if your looking to try something else.

Nothing comes close to the functionality of Solid Explorer. I have tried every file manager (well a lot of the hundreds lol) and i always find my way back.
It simply just covers every angle. The ui is intuitive and well thought out, well worth the price. Its as nessisary an app as titanium backup.

Great thread since I'm not liking ES either.
Has anyone tried AntTek? I heard good things about it in the past...
File Manager HD. Beautiful UI. I agree with the OP about ES. I have been trying to make it my default browser for a while, but its just not happening. I do love the Cloud account integration.
My two favorites are Root Explorer and File Explorer (FX) by NextApp, Inc. The later being my goto file manager in most instances.
