how is the app development lately?

any news to share? ;)
[Android Apps and Games] gto:
Clean and effective UI...great app, congrats!

Just missing a dark theme...
[Android Apps and Games] shirwa:
Hey. I have been extremely busy with school for the past few days, but I set aside a lot of time this week to work on stuff. I should have an update within the next few days.
[Android Apps and Games] iamelton:
no problem take ur time.. personal life should always come first..
[Android Apps and Games] uaevuon:
Awesome :good:

Nice app
[Android Apps and Games] trestevenson:
Has anyone else run into an issue where they're unable to delete a directory that has files in it? When I tried to delete a backup folder from a few weeks ago, the app appeared to delete the directory, until I navigated back to the parent folder. Once I did that, I noticed that the folder - and all of the files therein - were actually still present. :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] shirwa:
New Updates!!!

Hey all,

A few days ago, I made a post on the Google Plus page explaining why updates have been lacking lately. The reason was that I was making a transition to a new school and was having difficulties adjusting due to personal reasons. I do however wanted to let you know that production is back to 100% and updates will be coming out much quicker. On that note, if you haven't done so already, you should get the latest update of Sliding Explorer. This update is available via Google Play or Dropbox. It contains the dark theme, bug fixes and speed improvements. More updates will be rolling out asap.

Thanks! :laugh:

Sliding Explorer Updates

Hello,

I haven't been on here in a while, and I am sorry for that, but I hope you all have been following the Google Plus Community. A lot has changed for Sliding Explorer. It now supports most external sd cards, fully supports android KitKat and contains a new icon. There are many more things that have been updated with Sliding Explorer. I have pushed the latest apk to the dropbox link above, so if you would like you can get it there. Again, i apolagize for not updating this forum more often.

Happy Holidays!.:laugh
[Android Apps and Games] _jordan_:
No prob. This is a great file manager.

Thanks for your work, and happy new year.
[Android Apps and Games] Irwenzhao:
great app [MENTION=5397081]shirwa[/MENTION]. Got a bug here. Whenever I delete a file, it hangs when I press the OK button and force closes. Using N7105 custom ROM

Thanks alot! Happy new year to you too.
[Android Apps and Games] shirwa:
Thanks for reporting that issue. I will make sure to fix it right away. I will let you know when the next update is available, which is probably gonna be in the few hours.

Constant request for root access?

I tried this sliding explorer today and the look and feel are great.

I am bothered however by the constant need to allow root access each time a root protected folder is accessed.

If #Root is selected I am asked three times by SU to allow root access and "remember is checked"

Every single time, I go to this folder or while in the folder and or subfolders, and go back to a higher folder, I am again asked three times for root access before access to the folder is allowed.

Is anyone else seeing this?

I tried the private host post and the Google Play version and both act the same way.

I certainly do not have the patience to wade through three levels of SU access just to see a folder.

It is as if the remember "check" is not remembered.

Otherwise a very nice looking app.

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] _jordan_:
This is a great app, and I have been using it for quite some time.

My only suggestion would be to build in more support for unpacking various archives, like rar files and such.
[Android Apps and Games] shirwa:
Hey Jordan. Thank you for your suggestion, I am definitely planning on adding more archive support. Thanks again. :laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] b7898:
Nice looking UI. Good work.
[Android Apps and Games] shirwa:
Thanks! :D
[Android Apps and Games] Allexsander:
Very good!

I'm using and liking.

Fast, functional and visibly beautiful.

Waiting support for unpacking zip files.

Thaks for the great work!

Vlw...
[Android Apps and Games] trestevenson:
This app continues to get better and better. Keep up the good work, [MENTION=5397081]shirwa[/MENTION]!
[Android Apps and Games] _jordan_:
Good app. Liking the KitKat light theme.
[Android Apps and Games] shirwa:

[Android Apps and Games] SJ3316:
Good app, installed, checked for root files, and no permission was asked, denied by default, no file visible. App crash when trying to donate, and no sdcard files were not showed. System files ok. Awesome visual, others apps pretty much boring.

Android 4.1.2, Sony Xperia L, Orignal ROM, Rooted, Bootloader not unlocked.
[Android Apps and Games] _jordan_:
If no su permission was asked, it could be your permission manager.

Regardless of your su managers settings, there should be a log of the root attempt.
[Android Apps and Games] SJ3316:
No I checked, and supersu has nothing. No denied, or log created.
[Android Apps and Games] _jordan_:
Hmm then it didn't ask. Strange.

I use the app with no root permissions, so I cant comment.
[Android Apps and Games] shirwa:
I am currently looking into this now. Are you using the dropbox link to download the APK or the Google Play link? I might be able to get a fix out to you in a bit. Also, if your aware yet, we have a google plus community. I post there frequently and its easier to reach me there.
[Android Apps and Games] SJ3316:
Yes, it did not prompt anything.

I download it from the store so I could mantain the app updated without coming to xda. Today I just uninstall it and reinstall the app, and the files in the sdcard were showing, so that was fixed, but the root permission denied by dafault. Ok I will join your group.

Edit: Truly sorry for this, latest versions of XPrivacy start putting restrictions to some apps, I have more than 200 apps installed a whole lot of then installed after XPrivacy module. This is a new behavior of the app. Right now testing and all good.
[Android Apps and Games] trestevenson:
I still find it difficult to use the small menu buttons next to files/folders within the application. Can the contact area for this possibly be increased? It's nearly impossible for me to rename files in either portrait or landscape orientation. Anybody else?
[Android Apps and Games] _jordan_:
I really like this app. Still the only file manager I use. Loviing the KitKat theme as well.

Just a small suggestion. Would it be possible to add a RESCAN_MEDIA function?

I have been using this rescanning app which does an excellent job of media scans on 4.4 devices like the nexus 5. I noticed the source is available as well:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmail.jerickson314.sdscanner

Maybe sliding explorer could have this function too. I move files around a lot on the sdcard.

Either way, its a great app!
[Android Apps and Games] XenoPhase:
I have downloaded this file manager only today, but i love this, the translucent bars are awesome, i hope will be implemented in all apps!
[Android Apps and Games] shirwa:
Update

Hey everyone, I recently updated the Dropbox link and uploaded an update to Google Play. I haven't been able to update much the past month, because of school and other reasons. I am planning on making a lot of updates in the next few months, so make sure to join the Google plus community or follow this post. Can't wait to get out all these updates I have planned! Thanks again. :laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] Aut0mat3d:
Just installed the app. Thx for this great looking file manager.
[Android Apps and Games] shirwa:
update

No problem! Thanks for trying it out. I am Glad you like it.
[Android Apps and Games] _jordan_:
Still rocking this app. Sent in a few crash reports lately.

Still a good app.
[Android Apps and Games] shirwa:
Thanks a lot! I will make sure to fix those crash reports.
[Android Apps and Games] SnowboundTeam:
Good file manager, will switch to it!

I was looking for a good file manager for my old and pretty slow Samsung Galaxy S Plus, and I think I found it :) Good job! I was using the default file manager installed in Cyanogenmod 4.1 Android build, and it didn't work well. Couldn't show any folders from time to time. This one has a very nice Android-style design and works smoothly so far. Nice icons for various kinds of files. Recommend it!
[Android Apps and Games] shirwa:
Thanks! I am glad you like it.
[Android Apps and Games] mobihack:
Gonna downlOad nOw
[Android Apps and Games] danpetruk:
Nice. But need dropbox support
[Android Apps and Games] andras_k:
It looks good, I'll try it out for a few days, it might actually replace the ES because of the translucent theme, nice job!

Although there's a small jam in the UI when I choose a folder from the navdrawer, other than that, it's a great app, congrats!
[Android Apps and Games] shirwa:
Great! I hope you like it.
[Android Apps and Games] shirwa:
Yeah. That is definitely planned!
[Android Apps and Games] shirwa:
Thanks a lot. I will look into the delay in the UI when switching from the nav drawer.
[Android Apps and Games] andras_k:
Thanks! I checked it out with the 'Profile GPU rendering' option, there's a small bump when clicking on an item from the nav draver. I forgot to mention that I'm on a Nexus 5.
[Android Apps and Games] jong31:
I like what I see so far! This definitely has the best ui of any file manager I have seen. A couple of things I'd like to see eventually: one is adding shortcuts to the home screen. Can be useful for files and folders. Second, it would be awesome if you could add an update media database option so when you make file changes, other apps recognize it immediately. FX File Explorer and MiXplorer both have this option for reference. Keep up the great work!
[Android Apps and Games] shirwa:
Thanks a lot! I am glad you like it so far. There's actually a feature for adding folders/files to the home screen. If you click the mini menu next to each file/folder, there is an option of adding it to home. As for the other feature, that sounds like something very useful. I will look into it. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] jong31:
Ah, I missed that. Thanks for the heads up. Maybe you could consolidate some of the menu options so they aren't spread out over multiple menus? Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] anonymous-bot:
It's great to see an update to this application! I do have two feature requests:

1. I would like file associations. Currently when opening an app, there is no option of remembering your choice.

2. On my Optimus L9, Sliding Explorer does not detect my external sd card. The path is /storage/external_SD or /sdcard/external_sd
[Android Apps and Games] shirwa:
File associations are definitely a useful feature that is being worked on. It will be available very soon. As for the SD card issue, thanks for reporting your SD card path. Most manufactors are different and Sliding Explorer doesn't currently support your phone, but it will in the next update. Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] ptargino:
The app is crashing after the last update when I try to open it on my Nexus 5 (stock rom). Just FYI.
[Android Apps and Games] rogeriorp:
Regarding [MENTION=4974919]ptargino[/MENTION]'s issue and to others: clear the app's data and try again.
[Android Apps and Games] ptargino:
Thank's for the workaround, it worked fine. But unfortunately this fix resets the entire app, including preferences and favorites.
[Android Apps and Games] _jordan_:
Its a pretty simple app, with few preferences.

Not really a big deal :)
[Android Apps and Games] shirwa:
New Update!

Hey Guys,

A new update is being processed by Google Play and is available through the Dropbox link in the description of this thread. This update isn't very big, but it does contain some critical bug fixes and is a step closer to being a stable build.

I am working really hard to try and get a stable build out soon, which will fix most, if not all of your bugs and will have the essential features that are missing. I am in the middle of a few projects for work and I am taking a summer class, but I am freeing up some time to put together an update and I should have one or two updates out per week.

I realize this app has gotten quite popular, and I would love for you all to try my next projects once they are available, so feel free to circle or follow me for updates.

Thanks! :D
[Android Apps and Games] shirwa:
**Update**

A new update will be pushed out later today that includes a lot of performance updates and a new search feature that allows you to search for any file on your phone. The performance updates fix a lot of bugs and make pasting/copying files much quicker than what it was before. This update is only the beginning of whats to come. Since the developer preview of Android L will be released tomorrow, Sliding Explorer will be fully updated to support it as soon as possible.

P.S I cannot wait for the Android L preview. Google is awesome! :o
[Android Apps and Games] shirwa:
**Material Design Preview**

Hey guys, just thought I would give you a quick preview of whats to come for Sliding Explorer.. Its still early, but there will be a community established to test out the L material features before the official L release in the fall. Circle on Google+ for updates.

Any link for beta test?

I have downloaded your latest version from play store ,but it can't detect my SD card .Instead of that it detects my internal memory as SD card .The file system does show the storage option also. My phone is not rooted and I could not find any option to select the path .Help me.
[Android Apps and Games] simon_lefisch:
Is there anyway to show the set permissions of apps?
[Android Apps and Games] shirwa:
The version on Google play is the latest, however, a new version is almost ready that fixed some people's sdcard issue. I will let you know once that's available.
[Android Apps and Games] shirwa:
I am not entirely sure, but that seems like a very useful feature. I will definitely look into it. Thanks for the suggestion.
[Android Apps and Games] Rufufu:
Very very nice app! It still lacks some features, but I stick with your app because it is very pleasant to use.

If I may, I have 2 suggestions :

- Is it possible to have the size of selected files in properties? It would be very convenient to see the size of an entire folder!

- Can you make the app be selectable for opening .zip, . rar and other compressed file from any app? So it would be possible to open enclosed zip files in gmail without having to download it. For exemple, see the behavior of ZArchiver or ES Explorer, when you want to open a zip file in the download app or in any file explorer, it opens the archive and display the content of it.

With this and cloud storage support, it will be the perfect file explorer for me. Thank you for making it free, I will donate to you as soon I will have money!
[Android Apps and Games] shirwa:
Hmm. That's a good idea. I will definitely look into it. As for the zip thing, I have seen ES Explorer do it and it does seem useful. I haven't looked into opening a zip folder without unzipping it first yet, but that was something planned. Thanks for all your support! Appreciate it.
[Android Apps and Games] shirwa:
Update!

[Android Apps and Games] ANDR01DN00B:
Is it possible to add a FAB (floating action button) like the one in Cabinet BETA to ease the action of adding/copying/pasting files? That would be awesome.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] Romagnolo1973:
I can't change theme in sliding explorer (last version on playstore)

I swich the 3 options (white, black, classic) but nothing happens

I'm on ASP 4.1.1 JB
[Android Apps and Games] shirwa:
Yeah, its definitely possible, but atm, I decided to keep it out, because creating files/folders is not something people do very often, and using the FAB can get in the way of content sometimes, so if you wanted to access the content behind the FAB, you would have to scroll away, which would lead to an extra step just to get to the content. I am trying to find a good way to incorporate it, without blocking content.
[Android Apps and Games] shirwa:
Yeah, I am aware of that. It works fine on some devices, but doesn't on others. Working on a fix now and will push it out soon. Thanks for reporting!
[Android Apps and Games] ANDR01DN00B:
Maybe a FAB that pops up after selecting a file/folder?
[Android Apps and Games] budbay:
If I click on a zip file I get a force close, but if I select it and then unzip it works fine. Does this app not have the ability to open zip folder without unzipping or is it something in my end. I'm in HTC one xl cm11 nightlies.
[Android Apps and Games] shirwa:
When you try to open a file, it searches all of your apps to find one that can handle/open that type of file. It currently doesn't support the ability to view zip files without unzipping them yet, but I am working on it. I have just been a little behind on updates cause of school and I am still a little sick.

Hey Everyone,

I am facing a problem and I really appreciate any help !

I have an HTC ONE S.. After I unlocked my phone, I tried to flash the recovery "r2-modaco-recovery-clockwork-touch-ville" using command and it worked but I didn't get the "TAMPERED" above the "UNLOCKED"

so when I go to recovery I get stuck in the logo of htc and few red lines below and a line "Entering recovery..." above.

what can I do?? I'm really confused and need help..

This what appears in the bootloader:

*** UNLOCKED ***

VILLEC2 PVY SHIP S-ON RL

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] khanfahad:
Hi,

I bought a Galaxy S3 T999L from craigslist and wanted to unlock it to send it overseas. My sister had a T-Mobile account so I had her contact the representative and request it. They said it would happen within 24 hours. Anyway, since I didn't have much time, I rooted it using "Method 1 - The Root66 Way" through Odin in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2370981

Today, T-Mobile gave me an unlock code but when I used it, it didn't work. My guess is that it's because the phone is rooted. Is there a way to go back to it being unrooted so I can use the unlock code?

Thanks in advance
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Open SuperSU app and select full unroot. Though I doubt its whats keeping you from getting unlocked. Worth a try though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] khanfahad:
Hey Doc,

Thanks for all the guides etc. I was able to fully unroot it but when I try to look for updates, it says that phone has been modified... how does one fix that?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
If its stock, factory reset.

Or Odin flash the firmware.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] khanfahad:
Also, is there a way to reset the binary flash counter AFTER the unrooting?

and is there a way to root it again after it has been unrooted?

much thanks and appreciation
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
No you must be rooted to use Triangle Away.

Yes there are several options to root and you can just reroot using any one. Shouldn't be any need to wipe anything if you want to use root66 again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] khanfahad:
Either Triangle away is not working properly or I'm doing something wrong but I used your 1st method to revert back and unroot using the stock and root file, kernel and recovery files through Odin and used Triangle away at the end. It stated that counter is 0, then I unrooted from SU app and restarted but the counter read 1 after restart.

I'm not sure what's going on.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Make sure you are flashing the stock SECURE Kernel and stock recovery, then TA. Then unroot.

And you may actually want to try running triangle away, reboot download, then if the counter is zero, Odin flash the official firmware.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] khanfahad:
ok so this time I re-rooted using recovery method and then UNrooted using the recovery method listed by you.

After using TA to reset counter and after unrooting by SU, i restarted and then checked binary counter in downloading mode and it read 1... why is that? so frustrating....

the reason I want to do this is because I have an unlock code but it won't work... there's no other explanation as to why the unlock code from TMOBILE wouldn't work other than this counter issue...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
It could be the wrong unlock code. Ive heard of more than a few people having to call back a few times. I was able to unlock with a count of about 8 or so. Granted I wasnt using a code, but I dont see this as being the cause. But to be sure, try this:

Triangle Away. (Close/reopen the apo to make sure it worked) then pull the battery. Reboot directly to download mode. Make sure the counter is 0. Flash the official firmware released yesterday.

No idea why its not working for you. Ive had several confirmations that it did work before. Keep in mind that if you have a custom recovery or kernel, every time you boot up the phone it will retrip the counter to 1. So be careful your not booting up w/ cwm or twrp installed.
