LG G6 currently running aex but I get same errors on most custom roms. I believe so yes, I can freely move stuff around within the same directory but unable to move out or in from say internal/external storage.
[Android Apps and Games] gazzacbr:
Haha, very funny.

But seriously, fx connect working between my htc m8 and lg v30. Connection and shared Clipboard is great feature. Copy paste works fine.

Only one minor thing, from my lg v30 I can see the Guest folder on the m8 (which is the internal download folder) but from the m8 Guest Folder is not found. Do I need to do anything on the lg to make the folder seen from the m8?
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Sorry not quite following this perfectly....can you give an example path of source/destination that fails?
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Does the guest folder exist/is it set correctly on the V30? Settings->Special Folders->Guest Folder?
[Android Apps and Games] gazzacbr:
Ah, that setting that I didn't know existed :o

Ok, maybe I got lucky on the m8 because I never had to set it and it just worked.

Thanks

rtfm problem I guess :D

If I open an image from the Dropbox app with the FX Image Viewer and then try to set it as the wallpaper I just get the error message "Failed to set wallpaper image."

With the image viewer from another file manager this works fine. Maybe there it works because it uses the "Set as" system dialog, which also offers more possibilities like zooming/panning the image or setting it as a contact picture.

Maybe this could be added as an additional option in the image viewer?

And while we're at the image viewer: What about zooming to the tapped area and not always the center?

And about the text editor: What about "Search & Replace"? Every text editor should have this.

Hi,

I have strange problem after install fx file explorer last beta or last stable from play store on my huwaei mate 10, the icon disappeared from my app launcher after the first start.

What kind of information you need to know where the issue occurs.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] osm0sis:
[MENTION=2954544]tliebeck[/MENTION] any way to enable the "mouse" pointer (e.g. via Shield Controller joystick) in the Text Editor on Android TV? It would make text selection and clipboard actions possible which would be fantastic. :D

FX 7.1.2.0 (Beta) Released

Significant improves to FX Connect:

Revamped the UI for wireless connections (eliminated dialog).

Fixed bug where some available connections weren't displayed.

Fixed bug with NFC touch connections sometimes not working on first try.

Minor UI improvements.

Improved opening files based on their extension (i.e., when media type cannot be determined). It does take a bit longer than previously to determine what can open such files, but the list should be of higher quality (e.g., it default excludes apps that "just open anything, of which there tend to be too many.)

Fixed back button bug in split window mode.

Added ability to sort apps by date updated.

The long delay between this release and the prior was due to a large amount of "housekeeping" and items that are important for code quality but that a user won't notice. FX is now built using Android's Java 1.8 support. Using lambdas reduced the source size from 175KLOC to 170 (increasing code readability and decreasing size). I also spent some time working on the build to get incremental builds down to about 6 seconds (without instant run), which is amazingly good for development productivity.

Once I view an encrypted file, it becomes permanently available without a password while IN fx. Is the some way to re enable password protection within fx after viewing?
[Android Apps and Games] techguyone:
What happens if you exit FX then go back in?
[Android Apps and Games] stonew5082:
It's still unlocked

Edit: nm, I just had to swipe fx out of recents, my bad!
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
FX has two top-level activities, the main explorer app and the text editor. The main exlorer app is marked as the default in the Android deployment manifest....not sure why the task manager is opening the other activity. Our own system/task manager app, SystemPanel, opens the correct default activity. Will try this on a few more devices though.

FX deliberately does not self terminate when you "exit" it. I have a more detailed write-up here:

http://android.nextapp.com/site/fx/doc/exit
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
I can't directly comment on pricing, but our other products (SystemPanel and WebSharing) sell for $2.99.

[Android Apps and Games] madfix:

;-)
[Android Apps and Games] jcsy:
ok now i further understand EXIT and BACK, with regards to Google and Android

however, I was wishing if someone could replicate this problem

i tried "freezing" Fx File Editor as well, but couldnt locate it :D

if someone downloaded

-Active Apps from Market

-Run fx

-Press back till "exits"

-Open active apps

-Should see fx there, with option to END and select it

-Select it

-Fx file editor pops up :D

LOL i have tried many combinations, yet same results...

Tried on my HD2 and EVO3D :D
[Android Apps and Games] everlethal:
Hi tliebeck, what about this?

I guess the problem is with my kernel, but prefer to show it to you.

I use Galaxy S, 2.3.6. JVU(latest build from samsung), off corse custom ROM (S.U.R.F.A.C.E. ROM) with custom kernel (DamianGTO's kernel)
[Android Apps and Games] ExilHh:
Really great app and my standard explorer...will sure buy the full version!

One issue still there wich i don't understand...if i open the video section from the home-/startpage it shows the video as thumbnail. If i open the folder (were the video is located) using the file explorer i only see the video icon instead of the thumbnail.

Is there any solution for that available?
[Android Apps and Games] iXNyNe:
That's actually not a bad price at all considering the ever popular root explorer sells for 3.99 and this app will be free with no ads unless you want root module or network module. You pay only for features you want. And the base app being free with no ads is already very generous.

Intro pricing is cool, but you should be happy to support the dev before trying to be cheap.

Titanium backup is $5ish for pro if I remember, and that's almost a standard buy for root users who flash often and don't want to press "install", "done/ok" 100+ times per rom flash.
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Is that a broken symlink, by chance?

If so, this is the same bug as darkshadowh's: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22675726&postcount=392

There's a bug in the checksum calculator where it fails on broken symlinks, fixed locally, will be in next release. (CM7, CM9, Liberty2, and all the stock stuff turn out to be devoid of broken symlinks in their /system dirs. :D)
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Thanks, I need to get this replicated here and see if there's anything I can do about it. It may just be iterating over the activities in the package and grabbing the first one it finds with a "launcher/main" setup. ExplorerActivity is marked default and also actually does come first in the AndroidManifest.xml file as well, but I'm guessing they wind up in a hash table when it's parsed, making that a moot point if you're just iterating through all activities.
[Android Apps and Games] everlethal:
Don't know what is it. But maybe you are right because this screen shows up when i hit calculate button. Is it possible this issue to be because my system is r-w alaways, can't make it r-o. It was old bug in my kernel, i will investigate and will tell you.
[Android Apps and Games] Nucleotide:
Totally agree with this. :)

I could use ES which has root built-in and it's free but I'd much rather pay for this. Since the root module became available I deleted ES all together. More then happy to pay a couple of dollars for root and the network modules when they become available. Small price to pay to be honest, not to mention you have access to the developer right here on XDA. That's worth a couple of dollars on its own.
[Android Apps and Games] heywtf:
I think tliebeck has been awesome on this forum answering all our questions and queries (inc. mine) and deserves support.

[Android Apps and Games] jcsy:
LOL exactly how I feel , and still feel like that sometimes (WTF!)

however I dont spend on the rest as well ^_^
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Doubt it being r/w caused it, a broken link is just a minor and likely completely insignificant bug in the ROM.

With your system being permanently R/W all the time, I'm going to guess that FX displays the warning all the time on the home screen as well? I'll add that to the list of warnings that need to be disable-able.
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
There's no solution currently available, but support for video thumbnails in file views does need to get implemented (as well as audio album art and thumbnails for media files not indexed by Android's media database).
[Android Apps and Games] everlethal:
Ok, thanks. Like i said it's always r/w.

And you are right, the warning is on all the time.
[Android Apps and Games] iXNyNe:

I haven't actively tested this, since I can only reproduce it on two devices, both with stock roms rooted with Magisk.

I was writing it off as device or alteration the manufacture did to stock android.

Not sure if it's device, configuration or simply error on my part.

BNTV-450(MT8163) BLU R2 LTE(MT6735)

When I navigate to /system/proc/ using System (Root), the device will reboot.

Home > # > PROC

It's inconsistent but consistent. If that makes sense. ;)

- Reboot immediately

- Scroll down -> Reboot

- Scroll down, open file or subdirectory. Close file or subdirectory -> Reboot.

- Scroll down, open file or subdirectory. Close file or subdirectory back out of /proc/ quickly no reboot.

As long as I get out of /proc/ before fx hits one too many files it can not access.

BNTV-450 only.

If I navigate to /system/proc/ using System, FX will Force Close.

Every now and then it will reboot instead of FC.

Home > / > PROC

Magisk 16.x No modules installed

Namespace Global, Inherit or Isolated.

BNTV-450 FX Error. (FC) PastBin

BNTV-450 Logcat. (Reboot) PastBin

last_kmsg is normally blank.

tombstones normally don't show up or are 0 byte files.

Note: FC's now produce tombstones. (fx-r7115)

I haven't had the time to properly check but, it looks like this problem started showing up for me on these devices with r6922.
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Do you experience any such behavior if you just open a terminal and do "ls -l /proc"?

To specifically run FX's list command, try (as root):

/data/data/nextapp.fx/app_Exec/busybox ls -Alnp --color=never --full-time /proc
[Android Apps and Games] gazzacbr:
LG v30 on stock rom rooted, latest fx, I can select any folder in proc and read any files without any error.

Both root and non-root seem to behave as expected in adb shell or terminal app.

ls -l -la or -laR

/data/data/nextapp.fx/app_Exec/busybox ls -Alnp --color=never --full-time /proc

I even ran them in a script file and executed as Unprivileged and Root.

ls-laR.sh crashed fx, memory error. Got it on my 5x when I ran ls-laR.sh also, just took a little longer.

[Android Apps and Games] Oblias:
I know this is a shot in the dark, and maybe even the wrong forum for this question, but here goes anyway. I installed FX from the playstore on a chromebook I just got. Now I have about 0 experience with chromebooks. But anyway, the problem I am having is that FX can see and mount a SD card that I put into the chromebook, and it can read the files on the SD card, but when I want to store something on there, via Copy, it tells me that it doesn't have permission to do that.

Is that a chromebook thing, or is that a FX thing? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
did you enable write access?

it's an option under the 3 dot menu when viewing the root of a removable storage device.

this is an Android thing, user-installed apps need to request write permission for every individual storage device except for internal storage.
[Android Apps and Games] Oblias:
Thanks for the suggestion, however I have no such option when I go to the root of the SD card, then click the 3 dot menu. Nothing even close, and I'm using the newest version available off the play store, with the full addon installed, and also the root addon installed.

Is there something I'm missing??

[MENTION=2954544]tliebeck[/MENTION] What setting do I need to enable in order to write to the sd card in my chromebook? This chromebook is fully capable of running all android apps, and from what read, the limitation is just with the third party file manager, in this case FX. So, would you please direct me towards the setting where I can write as well as read from the external SD card that I insert into the chromebook? Thank you!!

The root add-on has not been necessary for a while now. You can remove it and activate root operations within FX by going to :

FX 7.1.3.0 (Beta) Released

Animated GIF support for image viewer (KitKat and later).

A few minor tweaks/bugfixes to Web Access to fix some reported upload issues.

GIF support was a bit overdue, but it was not particularly trivial to implement. A completely separate system had to be added to the image viewer to do it, as it was previously designed entirely around displaying static bitmaps in a memory-efficient manner.

The task was made more difficult by the Android's spectactularly poor support for GIFs. Check out the thorough documentation on the GIF player class here: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Movie :D

Looks like Android P will finally fix this problem, and give us animated WebP support as well (but I don't see any compat library available yet for older stuff).

[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Not sure, FX isn't yet tested on Chromebooks. Is it treating it as a "Media Card" or "USB Drive?"
[Android Apps and Games] Oblias:
I'm not sure how to find the information for you to answer that question. The way I found it was by inserting the card into the chromebook, then tapping the three dots in the upper right of FX, selecting the Connect to Storage option, and it was listed at the bottom under portable storage. I also double checked all the app permissions in the Android settings, and it reports that it has full read/write permission for SD card... but it only reads, not writes.

Everything else works flawlessly!! SMB shares work excellent from my main PC. Access to cloud storage like Google Drive, Dropbox, One Drive all work excellent, and I can read/write to those without any problems.

But of course, on a chromebook that only comes with 16GB of SSD storage, being able to use FX to access read/writes on a supplemental SD card is really important for local storage of files.

Of course, the built-in file manager that comes with the chromebook can read/write to the card without any problems. So I know it's not an issue with having a bad SD card or anything....

Anyway, if you would please guide me as to how I can get the information you want, I will be more than happy to help as much as I can in order for you to enable FX to work with chromebooks. I would imagine that would open more market opportunities for you also, because the built-in file manager really sucks when it comes to SMB shares!! :)

Amazon's not supported yet. Do want to add it, at last check they weren't allowing any new implementations, need to check if that's changed.

If there's a storage access framework provider available for it, you can use FX's "Connect to Storage" option on the home screen.

I doubt enforcing licensing will fix anything, most piracy comes from cracked versions, and they just decompile it and modify the source. Some of the pirates stop there and distribute a "legit" version, but the real money is in attaching malware.
