Let us know how you get on mate :) it has themes too!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KiNG OMaR:
Not liking the themes available currently, and this is the only time I will let the iPhone look/feel slide by me... I must say, the UI is pretty darn good! And I love the checkboxes next to each file, letting you multi-selected easily :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameslfc5:
Haha totally agree! I am using stock theme and I agree that there are only certain times the iPhone look is allowed on my Nexus! :D

Meh. I still with Astro file manager

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KiNG OMaR:
I quit using Astro a LONG time ago, it's just so freaking UGLY :p

And don't even get me started about that icon...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rashad1:
Because it works well, does what I need it to, and then some.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noobdeagle:
Tbh someone needs to make a file manager with a good UI . Something that will integrate with ics UI design it would make it more user friendly or at least the way I imagine it in my head anyway. Like removing the long process for copy and pasting etc by using a layout similar to the new Gmail or something similar

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KiNG OMaR:
File Expert very much does that! The only thing missing is the ICS theme, but other than that, it's really the best functioning file manager I've used to date.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameslfc5:
Totally agree, I might email to ask them to make it more optimised for ICS
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike freegan:
Most of the icons in FileExpert are low resolution. Hopefully they'll update it for GNEX soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameslfc5:
That's the only fault I can find :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RayRay1988:
:O i really like this app so far, UI isnt superb but works well. It is the features that i love like web sharing etc. :|
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameslfc5:
UI isn't superb but you'd struggle to find better
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MaxDNet:
I use Root Explorer and its really good imho.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zok-star:
Can you to stream files over wifi etc, like es file exploer?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Hmm...I am hesitant to give an app I don't know well root access. Has anyone monitored the behavior of this app to see if it phones home with user data, things like that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] h_zee13:

FX File Explorer

Not to hijack this thread, but you might also wanna try FX File Explorer. It's from the same developer as SystemPanel. It has a great UI and probably similar functionalities as File Expert. Still in beta though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Looks like pretty much their only apps are File Expert and various skins for it. How do you checkout the reputation of these developers? One difficult thing about apps is that most developers are individuals or small startups and it's hard to know their reputation. It's not a problem with normal apps since Android's permission system helps, but it gets hairy with apps that can make use of root access.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameslfc5:
I still think that File Expert is nicer, that looks a little messy to me and I have tried it too :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameslfc5:
They have been around for quite a while and I have never read about any problems with them
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike freegan:
The reason it requires root access is that it's a file explorer which can explore the root.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NewMossie:
Good catch, gonna try it out.

OMG, there a Hello Kitty theme. Think it'll help ease the fact that I got a new phone with the wife?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameslfc5:
Yeah easily! show her that and let her have a 2 minute play and you'll have be let off...

or you'll have your Nexus confiscated ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ves:
The second file explorer I tried, never looked back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cky2ka:
Installed >> 5min >> uninstalled. Nothing is better than ES to me.:rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
EStrongs?

Yupe, I am using that to. It works flawlessly for my needs ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spielnicht:
Looks nice, but horribly slow. I wanted so much to like it, but I'll stick to my trusty Root Explorer for basic needs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameslfc5:
I didn't like root explorer because it was ugly and black on my S2 but on the Nexus it uses the nice blue gradient so I am now doing the same :) Just using it as my back up

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thenamesian:
it's nice, i will continue to use it if you guys can sort out the choppy scrolling lag on ICS Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daveknights:
That's the review I was looking for. I've been through many file managers since the G1 but ES is by far the best one i've used.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skanj:
Completely agree.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Digital_G0D:
First time android user here :)

I started out using file expert and love how it looks and that it has dropbox integration. But it kept failing to mount my system files with rw so I had to switch to ES, which works. I still prefer FE, but both look nice with dark themes imo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameslfc5:
Any chance you can make it a little smoother please and make it more ICS like :)

I also use Adao FM. It's super fast and simple.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ignitionnight:
I'm using ES right now, works fine. If i could get a stable port of the miui file explorer though i would pay for it.

FX File Explorer, anyone?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
oh yeah. that file manager is awesome. i would pay for it too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luffyp:
Indeed. It also has the best UI in my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schmoove:
inKa File Manager

If you want a good looking and simple file manager, try inKa File Manager:

You can find it in the Android Market. I am the developer of the application. As I recently got a Galaxy Nexus I will now be able to iron out remaining issues for that phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adancau:
I've been using this for some time and bought it today. The only thing it's missing in my opinion is root support. That would be a great addition.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameslfc5:
This is nice, root would be good

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus running Romanbb's amazing AOKP ROM!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bluediss:
This does look nice and ICS'ish, but could use some enhancements like:

- Root access

- Swipe to go back to parent folder (like ICS app drawer)

- Theme support (I don't like the folder icon)

- Loose the "Edit" submenu (kind of overkill to have a submenu for 2 items)

I'm thinking about buying it because I like the simple ICS look....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameslfc5:
Another suggestion to add to this list may be to include the gradient effect as the background as seen in ICS settings screen instead of the plain black :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] astraelraen:
File Expert seems nice, but it is kind of laggy on ICS. I like the idea of web server/wifi server built into the file manager rather than using separate apps for those functions. Although, I can't get the HTTP server to work...

I like how they segregate the groups into documents and you can further segregate into picture files, etc. Makes finding some of that stuff easy. I'm going to test drive it some more, thanks OP.

I have traditionally used ES file manager or File Manager by Rhythm software. I like that you can add network drives on both of those. I prefer File Manager By Rhythm just because I think it's easier to use, but that is personal preference.

I have root explorer and I like it for its simplicity, but I think it needs some extra features such as web/wifi/network shares.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I've tried a few file managers but I keep coming back to File Expert, mainly for it's ability to work so well over LAN:

The ability to enable FTP onto the phone is great. I use FileZilla on my laptop - transferring files back and forth is quick and easy. Bulk transferring those hi-res wallpapers takes seconds.

Another way of sharing files on your computer is to use the built in Windows/Samba sharing - again this has worked perfectly for accessing files on my computer.

There was an update yesterday and scrolling is much improved in ICS! Great work by the devloper!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Erickomen27:
Shrug Tried Many File Managers But Root Explorer Is Still The Best IMO
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rosswaa:
has no-one tried fx file manager?

its so much better than any other one on the market and the developer actually replies to the users all the time

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rechinica:
Total Commander

I'm actually using the android version of the Total Commander windows app. Not yet released to market but RC4 version is ready for download here: http://www.ghisler.com/android.htm

FTP, Windows shares, root - all that i need in a simple nice interface :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tigajr:
Very nice app. Thanks for the tip. :D

I am not installing it for now to be on the safe side , until I get more info: this File Manager has access to our personal data, the Sensitive Log file.

Astro and Es File Explorer, two very strong and well established file managers, do not ask for that! Even root explorer does not access the logs.

I am not saying I do not trust the devs, you told us about then. It seems a legitimate app, what I want is understand why the need for this permission. Sorry if this was already answered, couldn't find it.

Obs. English is not my native language.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohitrocks:
I think I'll stick with Astro simply because you can see more, and faster too :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] appledroid:
Thanks for sharing OP, this is an excellent file browser, I can't think another browser with a better UI, and the direct integration with Box.net (I snagged a free 50GB account) and Dropbox are just great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] papstar:
Only problem I have with File Expert is accessing my FTP server on my computer. I can log in fine, but I still to this day have yet to download anything from my server. It just doesn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xlillo:
I love ES.

Have root, connect with my lan, bluetooth share, ftp, ecc....

Have all that I need, no reason for change it... ;)

Nope, it wont replace your hardware buttons.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] andy572:
yes it haves, but only if the developer enables this in the build process.

there is currently no way to enable that with a setting.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awd01:
Greetings, I am using a motorola defy with firmware version 2.1 and yesterday I decided to install CM7. I found a guide on web so I followed him and I did the following stuff so far:

-installed the 2nd init

-root using superuser

-Wipe data/Factory Reset

-Wipe cache partition

My basic problem is that in my recovery menu i cant see the orders

- install from sdcard

- advanced

- choose .zip from sd card

I am in a menu saying the following:

Android system recovery <2e>
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition

I thought that i am in the right menu so I renamed the file name "update-cm-7.1.0-11-Defy-signed.zip" into "update.zip" but recieved an error saying E:can't open /cache/recovery/command.

I am guessing that I am a wrong menu or something...

In addition, i tried to install Clockwork Mod so I searched the Rom Manager but I could only find the Premium one and I read somewhere that the normal one is not supported :confused: this cant be right... :confused:

PS:

What is the "gapps-gb-20110828-signed" file?

Why the first step in this guide is to flash froyo? What does he mean?

Is it necessary to install RSD lite?

I did my research before i open this thread but i am really confused about some things like the recovery boomenu :confused:

I found the solution myself :D

The solution was to search even more!!! I am sorry for the disturbance

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zgomot:
I installed Go Locker and like it a lot, but there appears to be a conflict. At random times, and every time on first boot, to wake the device I will have to unlock the default GB locker and then GO Locker.

What gives?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evanbowers:
You can use "nolock" (available on the market) to disable the stock lockscreen. I have the same issue with first boot, but it fixes the random returns. Not sure if the first boot is fixable because golocker and nolock are apps that start after the launcher is up
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zgomot:
Is there maybe a way to force nolock to run as a system app as soon as the phone boots?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evanbowers:
Possibly. I would try ROM toolbox's "auto start manager".
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Corra:
Ok this is a very simple tutorial and I'd feel ashamed to call it 'software development' but I really don't know in which section I should post it. [EDIT: I thought I was posting in the development section...]

I recently heard about this article

http://androidandme.com/2011/12/news/android-may-never-be-as-smooth-as-ios-says-ex-googler/

and I thought I could dust off a 'trick' (:confused:) that I used with my old hTC Legend to speed up the launcher when using live wallpapers. The nexus S can handle live wallpapers quite well with the right launcher, but I found this useful to completely avoid lags when the phone is doing something other in background.

So, this is what you should do if you want to try

$ adb shell

$ su

# ps | grep KEYWORD

where KEYWORD is a thing like 'adw' or 'launcherpro' or whatever else may be contained in the process name of the launcher you're using. If you can't find it by this way just run 'ps' and look for it

now look for the number contained in the second column, it's the PID of the launcher and you need it to do this

# renice -15 PID

if you already know the process name of the launcher you can do it in one line with this

# renice -15 `pgrep com.adwfreak.launcher`

where com.adwfreak.launcher only works if you're using adw, obviously.

and remember that ' is not the same as `. I can do it with Alt Gr + '

Unfortunately, I don't know how to run this command at system startup except using Tasker+locale execute plugin, as the launcher must be already loaded.

The fact that Google dind't do it by default, makes me think that there could be a good reason :D :rolleyes:

so I guess this MAY cause issues but if you want to try it can be undone with a reboot.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] frutelaken:
Thanks for that. I just tried it, hope it'll have noticeable results.

Maybe you could add that the renice command is used to change the priority of a process, where -20 is the highest and 20 the lowest priority?

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] anaglich:
Is there anyway to do this via the phones terminal or zip script rather than adb?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Corra:
You already wrote it :p thanks

Yes you can do it via terminal emulator.You probably need busybox which should be altrady installed on cyanogenmod.

I don't know what you mean with the zip script.

After some testing I can say it makes a noticeable difference.

Gesendet von meinem Nexus S mit Tapatalk
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] anaglich:
Thank you. I got it working. This is certainly something I would want to apply after every boot but doing so via terminal every time would get old very fast. Hopefully a dev here can cook something up.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] gavingreystone@gmail.com:
Maybe a silly question, but doesn't v6 supercharger script do this for you with hard to kill or bulletproof launcher? No idea just sounds similar
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] cteneyck:

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] corythug:
Yes.

Follow the leader @corythug ;)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] gavingreystone@gmail.com:
Not to take away from the OP's helpful info, this is definitely not known by all, but try the V6 Supercharger by Zeppelinrox. It applies these settings and various others at boot by sticking them to startup files, and uses a great user-friendly interface that is informative and basically does all the work for you.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] anaglich:
V6 is great, but I would really like a script or nstool that did this without including all of the other stuff V6 does.

Also, how can we use these priorities to make the multitasking recent apps screen quicker?
