Simi folder is great. The invisible option is cool because I like a clean desk top. .just look for it in the play store.

Do you mean a folder app in the literal sense (folders are usually built into the launcher you are using) or a file browser (estrongs is best - tons of features, a root explorer, dropbox integration, google drive integration, and more).

I second simi folder. Awesome app. It even supports folder in folder
I use Folder Organizer, free version is excellent, worth paying for the addional feature in the pay version.
Ive decided on Simi Folder. Its good even though it needs a drag & drop option

Definitely Folder Organizer. Love it. Not many updates but then again not needed.

Like my title states...the one reason I love the MIUI rom is because of the folders. Is there any APK or any way we can get that on another rom? The MIUI rom has certain issues that I do not like to deal with. Thanks.
I believe astro file viewer allows you to classify your apps and make folders on your homescreens. It even allows you to pick the icons for each folder. It's free in the market.

thanks but I'm really just looking for how the MIUI folders look
hey i was wondering if anyone here has come across a app that will allow me to browse the files on my phone and drag and drop files from my computer on to my phone with out having to connect a usb to the computer, pretty much to sync wirelessly but to whatever specific folder i want on my phone . was playing around with Browsix which from what iv read should have that feature but i either havent been able to find out how it works or maybe it dosent have it at all.
Try the built in Samsung Kies Wireless app on your phone. It works quite well over the local wifi network.

Kies air. It's in your app drawer. I believe that's what you're looking for. Let's you navigate through everything on your phone wirelessly.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
yea i just set it up and essentially thats what im looking for. but for example i have a folder with icons i wanna drop onto my phone. i have a folder for icons but i cant just drag that folder on to my phone through the kies browser and expect it to show up on my phone? when i click upload it only gives me the option to upload individual files not a whole folder. unless im not clicking the right option.
Try airdroid its a very nice app.

spot on man. i like how it gives you a desktop like window to play with. even lets you create folders on your phone and just import the files over. very very nice.
No problem bro, I love that app.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I just installed AirDroid, based on the recommendations, and partly because it uses port 8888 instead of 2121 that I'm using for another app.
One problem I'm seeing is that it doesn't load my Contacts. I get a yellow triangle and the message, "Failed with network error." This is on a Sprint E4GT running Calkulin's 2.7 if that matters.
I have used myphone explorer! It works great. I believe you can copy n sync files and folders from your pc to your phone. you can send sms through your phone from your pc keyboard. I was really impressed with it and it's almost a 5 star free program at the market.

Tiresome sifting through pages upon pages of pictures from apps and such to find my personal media. Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
Should be able to move the pics to a new folder titled ".nomedia"
Shouldn't scan that folder.
actually, I think all you need to do is create a file called .nomedia and place it into the folders you don't want the media scanner to scan.
Works great to keep the gallery from adding all of the images that Touchdown (my corporate email program) caches on the phone.
Is there a method to include folders rather than exclude -because I have way too many files from wherever that I would have to exclude with that method. Thanks

Bump. What does "bump" mean? Does it mean 'no one is looking at my thread, hey you, will you look at my thread? Either way, hey you... kidding, but please, does anyone know of a way to choose folders for the gallery rather than choose to exclude which as I mentioned would be way to cumbersome? Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
Put your pics you want private in a desperate folder. Rename the folder to anything with a period in the beginning and voila!

Hiding private media isn't the issue.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
If you don't mind a 3rd party solution, get QuickPic. I seriously haven't used my stock gallery in over a year. It has the option to exclude certain folders ( and thus scan the rest of the SD card ), or include folders instead ( only scans the folders you choose ).

You could also make a text file and rename it to .nomedia no name with that file extension and it will not show up, which is what quickpic does for you.

thanks. that's the solution.
edit: actually no, gallery still finds private media and now the folder just renamed with a dot in front has now disappeared.
edit: actually, there is a setting in astro to display such files, BUT then now the gallery app will display contents of private but visible folder so...
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
I know there are apps like quickpic that do it, but the the new gallery is much better, so I hope there its a way around to hide folders in the new gallery
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
There's a QA forum separately, for future questions.
To answer to your question, place a ".nomedia" file on a desired folder containing the photos you want to hide using a file manager. It will hide photos from being indexed to phone thus making them unvisible in gallery.

Thnks fhilv....
Yeah but it's not practical to always do that,I was asking for some mod from a dev to enable such feature, also the share option in the new gallery is limited to certain apps, is there a way around to edit pictures from gallery with different apps like Photoshop touch

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'm wondering if there are other alternatives?
P.s my device is not rooted
Thanks in advance

I wonder the same, will be watching this thread closely, thanks for starting it!
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.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4
i too use root explorer. this has been my choice for some time now. yes it works on unrooted phone,but you can use explorer for free.
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.

Solid explorer is great if you use a cloud service also, bookmarks your info and you can copy your backups to the cloud with ease.

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.

Wow, thanks for all the reply, I'm looking into solid explorer. The reason why I used ES explorer at the first place is because there's a lot of websites/reviews recommending it. But after using it for couple months I find it falls short from all the hypes.

Can Solid Explorer scan for my pc instead of having me put in the information manually?

Yes, very simple to set up an smb sever and store credentials for future bookmarking. Scan for shared network and save encrypted pass for user on initial setup
