Hey, quick question.
I seem to remember seeing and using a file explorer when I first got my phone, but now its kinda just vanished. Not uninstalled anything either...
Is it me just imagining things?
Anyone know what it was called?
or even better where I can get another copy of it?
Cheers
Steve
I use ES File Explorer for the , don't think the phone come with a file explorer.
cheers for that. unfortunately that must just mean i'm going mad!

Hey guys, does anyone know if there is an app for the android phones where i can access my shared folders from my windows desktop ??? (the folders which are shared using the right click method in windows xp pro specific)
i can make them accessible through ftp but i use sharing with my laptop and i want to use it with my phone if possible!!!
Estrongs file explorer does windows shares/ftp/bluetooth browsing and streaming. Its free
hmm nice one, i found it on cyrket but it seems that avi files cannot be opened yet but good one...i won't be watching movies over my pc any way cause of the slow connection. thanks vman81
Are you asking for the ability not only to share the files but to stream media files from device to PC?
I love Dropbox! Super easy and you can access your files from your Android device or ANY computer.
Ehm, EStrong File Explorer is very interesting ... Anyone is using it?

If yes, do you think that we still need to have ASTRO? Because I read ASTRO is a very good file manager and app manager, but it does not support this kind of network access (browsing shared folder).
And I dont like to keep 2 similar apps, if you know what I meant.
Thanks

I think ASTRO is mostly for doing stuff like installing apps you have downloaded on your computer, though I dunno whether the other mentioned file explorers give you the possibility to do that as well.

In the other hand, you can just install an other application manager if you don't want 2 file managers

It's a file browser, they're not really going to be that different. So the answer is no, if you want to use the EStrong one you wont need to have Astro installed too.
Try AndroXplorer v.3!
I would like to have some kind of connection in both ways between a directory in my PC and directory on my HTC DESIRE.
Now i'm actually using DROPBOX but it's kind slow, sluggish....
Found ASTRO also, is it good, anything better,easier?
Thanks
Well found also ESTRONG FILE MANAGER...which to choose?

I've used both and decided to keep ES File Manager; it seems to deal with network/ftp shares better than Astro, in my opinion anyway. There were a few other reasons, but can't think of them at this point (!)
maybe cause ES is free?
Personally I use Astro as a filemanager because ES looks terrible. For moving files to my phone I use wifi file explorer.
There must be all in one, right?
hi all DHD users,
Just got myself a Sandisk 32Gb sdcard. I notice that ES Explorer is not working if I enable the root options in Settings.
I see a folder without name. I cannot access it, nor I can do anything about it. I notice that once I disable the root options I can see my files again.
Searched the forum and didn't find what I'm looking for. Sorry if this question is ever answered, but is there a fix for this?

The best thing would be check if the problem persists with other kinds of file explorer. Then you will know if it is ES file explorer or sdcard.
Maybe defragment or formatting helps?

Forget the defragment...it wont help you anyway that was just something stupid i came up with...
But have you tried to check if you have same problem with other file explorers? Try for example, linda file manager or astrid or root explorer

Ermm, Astro File Manager worked, but I cannot enter /data/system. /data folder is empty. It's just like ES File Explorer without root options.

Well mate i don't know if there is a point in doing this, but maybe trying to fix permissions via CWM might help? I read somewhere that fixing permissions via CWM deletes pics from sms or so...

haha, yea, actually all I wanted to do is to delete batterystats.bin. I guess I'll just do it in recovery mode then.
I guess the only work around is:
if root options is enabled, disable it and then go back, you will see all the folders again.
then enable the root options, when you want to edit the system/data files, for example delete batterystats.bin fille.
Very sorry, this is a bit of a newbie question. I've updated to revo HD 2.1 and recently put on the power notification widget add on.
It says you can edit the widget.txt file in system/customize.
Well I got there but using root option on estrong yet I cannot see or edit the txt file. I've accepted superuser access etc. Selected Hiapk, didn't see it, selected cryogen and that didn't see anything either..
I also tried atsro and root explorer with no luck.
What file explorer people use to edit root system files?
Thanks for reading.

Why don't you edit the txt file on your pc before flashing the mod? ES file explorer should do fine...
Doh, I think it wad titanium back up causing problems, I reinstalled it and everything looked fine.
Out of curiosity, how do I explore system dir when on pc?
Thanks for quick reply.

Answering to your first post I will recommend ES File Manager too.

You can do it using adb, but you would have to work in the terminal (unless there's a GUI for it I don't know off?)
Regarding your first question: I would recommend Root Explorer, works like a charm

i think that ES file explorer is the best of the explorer
I use ES File Explorer and sometimes AndroZIP for unzipping archives.
Isn't he asking for a file explorer which will let him edit /system/customize/widget.txt?
I think the thread title is misleading.

Hi all, I'm using ES File Explorer. Sometimes when I delete a file by using the Nexus itself and afterwards plug it into my computer and I browse using Windows Explorer, the file that was supposedly deleted would still show up. Does anyone know why this is?
its a ES explorer problem?
does any one know a better file explorer?
thankyou
Root Explorer is my favorite.

Probably Windows Explorer is not properly refreshing file/folder listing of your phone. Common problem with the MTP protocol.

I just tried with root explorer, on my brothers nexus... im thinking its a nexus problem,
try it out,
delete any file using your nexus, and look for it using windows explorer immediately after deleted the file on yor phone.
on ES explorer/Root explorer, you wont see the file, but it will stay there on windows explorer

I'm going to say it's a problem with Android's current implementation of MTP. Other MTP/PTP devices such as digital cameras or media players work fine with Windows, in general.
I don't know a way of getting this fixed. Read the guide I link to in my signature for workarounds/more info.
