Always good to hear from you, Casper.

...really? Solid has Mega Cloud? I paid for it and did not see it. Just "My Files", no real network stuff at all like ES File Explorer. And I paid for it too! I did pay for the new ES File Explorer and it is, NICE. Nice colors, themes, does any kind of network stuff you want. WiFi, Cloud, LAN, very impressive!

Oh wait, it seems I did pay for the Solid Explorer but now have two of them!

Solid Explorer Classic

Solid Explorer File Manager[/URL

Oh gosh, what am I supposed to do with two of them? Which one is better? Do I need both? Did I pay for one or both of them? I could not install XposedFramework.apk in ES File Explorer, just said "Failed". Huh? That is how I always install it, not like I have a lot of choices so I took your advice, got Solid for ten days, and it installed Xposed right away, piece of cake, so I purchased it. But which is which and what are they good for? Oh you get side by side in this one! The other Solid was My Files only.

Dude, I do not have a CLUE how to work this "dual solid explorers" at all! Apparently, "somewhere" in here, is my WiFi, cloud accounts, and God knows what else, but where? Which one to use? How to use it? It is very pretty to look at.

Casper, give me a very basic run down on the two Solid apps I got, what is important, how to get to stuff, or show me a manual or I will find one. Everywhere is zoom this, pinch this, swipe this, and on and on. Yet, I have no idea of say, how to get to Mega or dropbox, or even my own WiFi.

Thanks! :confused:

EDIT:

Oh, there is a Jump button to take me all over the place. Crap, now I have to put in all my logins and passwords again. Seems worth it, there is more than meets the eye in this Solid Explorer. Good tip!

Wow, I got all of my cloud accounts installed and setup, and my WiFi computers. I can go landscape for side to side swipe and drag, neat! They do not have Mega Cloud though. On the other Solid Explorer is a folder for Mega Sync so when I download to mega sync, it will go there, I guess. This is really nice. Wish I knew more how to use it though. I will learn.

This phone is SO new that I made just about every mistake one could. I just did the factory reset and now things are settled down and quite sweet. I still get "some numbers do not ring" but SAFE MODE shows it is a user app. I think it is my old blacklist app, so I installed the one [MENTION=3305649]OldBaldy[/MENTION] uses and will see if that is the last issue to address. Not too many user apps have permissions to interfere with incoming phone calls, I think, so it might not be too hard to track down. Oh how I love this phone, Casper@ :laugh:

Solid Explorer Classic is just the old interface. The other is the new material interface. He kept the old look on the store as some people prefer it.

The app is very simple. It looks bare, but the features are tucked-in neatly.

Both interfaces are dual-paned. In the settings you can choose what you'd like each pane to start on by default - I just use the internal storage for the first panel, and the sd card for the second panel.

You can easily drag an item from the one panel to the other - even in portrait.

For the classic interface, you can find cloud connections under "jump" (the second button from the bottom right) >> "network".

For the material app, just click the "+" icon in the bottom right.

Both apps have bookmark or navigation panel that is pulled out from the left.

Mega cloud storage was introduced with the material app - and only works with the material app. It is however a paid plugin (found in play store) - I did buy it. My upload speeds are not fantastic at home and so cloud storage is actually quite pointless for me, but I do think mega has done a fine job.

Just play around with the app. Obviously it might seem confusing at first since you are so used to ES, but it's really quite user-friendly for the most part.

Hi Ohmster.

Lol, I'll definitely check out this picture app! [emoji2]

To answer your questions:

1: No, you do not need both installed. Same apps - old and new interface. You do need the unlocker installed, and this unlocks both.

2, 3 & 6: Material is just the look and design of the app, version 2.xx

4: Well you find it in play store. Go to Solid Explorer in store and click "more by .." to list his other apps. Or click "Download More" from the adding cloud storage wizard. See screenshot below. *Mega only available for SE 2.xx.

5: Yes, of course. Can't think of anything to mention right now, but when I do...

Um, can't seem to upload screenshots. Tapatalk not accepting the PNG files and XDA labs not giving me an option to attach. Will have to get to a PC.

I found the Mega Plugin for Solid Explorer and it is another 99¢. I just bought the Solid Explorer for almost 5 bucks and have to pay again for Mega? They can keep it. I did pay for ES File Explorer Pro, same thing, just under $5 and it comes with Mega already built in. Not going to keep throwing money I do not have into stuff I already have. Cheapskates could have at least included Mega in the Pro version.

Materials, oh you mean dress up and themes. Yeah I already found that, pretty neat. Nice addition since ES File Explorer is everybody's choice but now they stick a 1/3 ad smack dab at the bottom app you cannot get rid of. But the pro version is nice, and if apk fails to install in ES, I got Solid, and I like Solid, it is pretty nice.

Man, tired. Gotta sleep now. Take care bra@ :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Lol [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION]

I have a suspicion you don't know (or didn't) Material design. [emoji33]

Just in case:

It's just a look (and functionality) really. It appeared with the launch of Lollipop. Have you heard of Holo style/theme? It is the style that came about the time of Jelly Bean I think.

So when I mentioned the Material version, it is the version that was styled with Google's Material design guidelines (version 2.x). [emoji39]. ... Not in terms of fabric.

[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], Material Design is Google's new design from Lollipop forward. I suggest that you watch these two videos. Ever since MD was introduced in 2014, I fell in love. It is really a beauty to behold. I hope this I info helps.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Thanks guys. I got enough on my hands just trying to survive, and I love to play with phones and PCs. :)

The videos were especially helpful.

I am still pissed that Solid Explorer, as good as it is, takes $5 for the Pro version and then wants another dollar to add Mega Cloud. I got that free with the purchase of ES File Explorer and just used it yesterday to give photos I took of friends to them. Solid can shove it, charging for a single cloud site out of several, when ES includes it with Pro. I really get annoyed when these app designers constantly nag for money.

I just bought Call Blocker FREE which is NOT free anymore. The nag screen is horrible, every time you tap anything you wait ten seconds to continue until you pay. I need a blocker that works on Marshmallow and this one seems to be good for that. Already caught one spammer with it, no ring, hangs up the phone so they cannot leave messages. But the word "Free" on the app with that type of nagware is atrocious! They do respond very quickly to support and have wildcards to block entire ranges of numbers such as a certain area code. Nice.

OldBaldy is playing with the Layers thing you were talking about, Casper and says it is safe enough. I love dark themes so I might try that.

Thanks for the info, guys. Everybody is smart in some way, when we all come together, we are *really* smart! :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Layers if you use Marshmallow

Oh gosh, I am all alone in here!

I mentioned Layers and themes in Marshmallow and have had a chance to try them out. Beautiful! First couple I tried gave me a gorgeous dark theme, but only on QuickTiles. Then I found DarkG and found it colored and themed most all of the device. I like it, but, Ohmster just has to go one better...

Now the bad news. Many of these themes are "heavy themes" and will layer most all of your phone. But then I found some serious themes that *will* theme out like "everything". I did this very late and night and did not read everything. The configs were too intense to even *think* about doing at that hour of the night so I just went default on all of it. Wow, bedazzled! But, you have to reboot to see how a theme will work and that heavily themed out boot wasn't happening. Stuck on stitching Marshmallow boot screen. I could have restored a nandoid and you be smart and make one, hear? But I wanted to try the "Ooops what now, no backup" option and had great success with that. You can do this right in TWRP File Manager and it is easy to do:

If you have system crashes reboot to recovery, mount System go to File Manager, then go to folder

/System/Vendor/Overlay

and delete the theme.

So, warning on Marshmallow and Layer Themes, the heavy themes can render your device very unstable and quite useless. Make a backup first! Stay away from the really complex ones unless your idea of fun is configuring and fixing the phone every day. But there are a LOT Of nice ones and most are free! :o
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bobcus Leper:
First of all, thanks for the post. The beauty of layers is that you can choose what apps to theme through the layers manager. Also, all of the apps on your phone are built with overlays (layers) to give them distinct looks. So, when you apply a theme, you only change the colors of the app's layers, not the apps themselves. So, themes do not slow down your phone at all. Themes just change the already existing color scheme (layers) of the apps. This is what makes Android so cool. Also, Android 6.0 Marshmallow has layers support built right into the ROM. So, maybe in the future Google will allow native theming. Also, be careful what you do on stock ODEXED ROMs, like the one on your Moto X Pure Edition. They are not always modding friendly. (I know you know this from your previous posts. :)) Thanks [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], and have a wonderful day!:good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Hmmm, good looking out, Bobcus. I like the fact that these overlays do not slow down the machine and I found some really nice ones. And when I open any of the themed apps or system apps like dialer or settings, they do look great! But that is only a few of the many apps and features I have. For the most part, the device is not really "themed", more like I have a nice set of "app skins" for certain apps. The "theme continuity" is broken all over the place so while dialer looks great, Gmail is still the same. Play store is cool as hell, but not Hangouts. Pandora is totally sharp, but not Slacker. The list goes on an on, I have MANY more apps and interfaces and the set of skins in Material Glass are really stunning and there are a LOT of them, even with 60 skins (overlays), it is still nowhere near enough. And there never will be as no theme author can possibly create overlays for every possible set of launchers and apps. :confused:

I have seen some "advanced themes" with a whole LOT of configuration to do and other support software to install and assist the theme, but they crashed the phone on default settings and are too dangerous for me to use. Maybe not so much "themes" but instead a collection of app skins. Does look nice, but not continuous enough for me to call it a theme. Thanks for the feedback, Bobcus and pointing out some of the details for us. :good:

Late for a blood test but just called Canopy, Josie checked on the phone and they will be sending the full $449.99 as an E Gift card at Amazon, for the full cost of the phone. Ohmster is going shopping next week! :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
When I was reading your story, I thought it was going to have a bad ending. I'm so glad it has all worked out.

Just, this activating/deactivating of phones sounds like an annoyance. If I get a new phone, I can still use my RAZR. The sim registers with the network, and any phone will work (as long as it hasn't been blacklisted (I.e. reported lost/stolen - then it won't register on any network no matter what network's sim is in).

Anyhow, good to hear from you!

Glad to hear that, wish you can find a good case for protection. BTW, I'm testing CM13 on my XT910 slot-1 now and reported in CM13's thread. :D:D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sherri:
[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], glad you got this worked out! I just got the same phone (Motorola X Pure Edition, 32 GB version), as it was on sale at Amazon for $374.99 last week. The insurance through Verizon now has a $200 deductible, and they usually get you a refurbished phone. I have used it on all my phones, because I was always afraid of loss/theft on my kids' phones. For the X, I purchased a 2 year SquareTrade protection plan ($99.00 on Amazon), which has a $99.00 deductible. Hopefully, I won't need it, bust as Chris Rock says,

"You got to have some insurance. They shouldn't even call it insurance. They just should call it ''in case sh*t.'' l give a company some money in case sh*t happens. Now, if sh*t don't happen, shouldn't l get my money back?"

My daughter bought herself the Motorola X Pure 16 GB edition from Best Buy, and took out their protection plan. The nice thing about that is you walk in to the store, and they help with the phone. She returned 3 of them (within the 14 day return policy) because they had flaws. The first one kept freezing on touch screen, #s 2 & 3 had a weird light that bled through on light screens (looked like there was a bulb under the screen). #4 is working so far...

I am debating rooting mine. I love everything about the "stock" ROM, but can't stand ads. I tried Adguard, which claims that no root is needed, but I am getting popups and redirects like crazy on the Chrome Browser. I also want my TiBu back, as well as SD Maid Pro. I did take the OTA Marshmallow Upgrade, so I am torn on methods of rooting. Trying to figure out the best way. Hopefully, you can help with this!

I agree with you that the Razr Maxx is a great phone. I kept mine on a 4.4.4 ROM, and had no issues. I upgraded because I wanted a bigger screen, and the Razr was getting very slow.... Hope all is well, and that I will hear from you soon!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sherri:
[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION]....I tried the Windroid app....It downloads fine on my laptop, but when I try to run it, it crashes. Constantly. My laptop is old, and I am running Windows XP. No need for anything more. I think I only turn it on to connect/transfer/futz with my phones. Also used it for my daughters phone. As she would not let me touch her Razr, she never bothered making sure her pictures were on her sd card. I needed to connect to laptop to see if I could move stuff. Ended up backing everything up in the Google Photos app, so she "has" them, without using space on her phone. Her music files were easier, as I transferred them to laptop, compressed them, and put them onto her sd card, which is now in her X Pure.

You told me to backup the phone before attempting to root it. How??? Does TWRP just "install" like an app? I used Safestrap on the Razr, and have TWRP on my Tablet, but it was so long ago that I installed a custom recovery on it, that I have no idea how! Remember, I am in stock Marshmallow, it from reading everything, TWRP seems to have issues installing/working. I have read about systemless root, but it is experimental, and chainfire himself says it is buggy. Suggestions and a "step-by-step" would be greatly appreciated!

As for my comment/statement/question about custom ROMs, I am glad we agree!:good: On my other phones, only a custom ROM would enable my led to blink with the screen on, which I desperately wanted. This phone doesn't have an led (well, it does, but that is another issue altogether...), so no custom ROM is needed. I want TiBu to back up apps, as sometimes, I prefer older versions. We have completely gotten off topic here, so we can continue on Hangouts or PM....Dinner has arrived, so chat later!

OT: Windroid for Moto X Pure

This is off topic because it will not work on a Razr, but might really help someone so I will make this a fast and under the radar post.

Windroid 3.0 is now fully up to date and the Moto X Pure Edition is officially and fully supported for Marshmallow. I used it today for everything but root because I had a rooted backup, but this is a very easy tool to get some very difficult stuff done, root probably works well with it. Thought I should share this with any of you that have the phone and are having problems with getting everything done. Since I did not need to root with it, I cannot "swear" it works, but this is a very good, very easy tool and worth giving it a shot. When I did use it to root Lollipop, man it did do the job but quick and really nice! That was v 2.5 but v 3.0 is fully and officially supported on Marshmallow for this phone. Make sure to have a TWRP backup before trying *any* root attempt on the Pure, as some roots will destroy the WiFi on the phone so you can restore your working WiFi backup and try something else if you have to.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2499926

I am fully done but the phone is doing a LOT of Google updating, so I must leave it alone until tomorrow to make a final backup. Windroid is a fantastic tool, it has it’s own adb drivers and works a treat! I hope this helps someone. Take care guys. :)

I move myself to the x 2nd gen vzw too, time to say goodbye to this forum...glad to know all of you guys...im glad to be here and sharing all with you guys. [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], is it a 2nd gen x you use right now? We can talk in proper thread i guess..not here...i manage to unlock the bootloader, convert to pure edition, update to mm and root it...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
We can talk here, briefly.

No second gen. I made sure to get a Motorola Moto X Pure Edition 2015 XT1575. That second gen is total crap, they took out the very best stuff to water it down and crap it up. No way I would buy a second gen. VERY happy with this phone, other than to say you really must buy a case for it. I dropped it from the nightstand, a 2' drop, it hit the corner on a hard ceramic floor, and broke the screen. Since this one is less than 30 days old, I asked Amazon for help and they shipped me a replacement brand new phone before I even realized what they were doing. This is my 3rd Moto X Pure, the first one got ran over in traffic, insurance replaced it totally free.

Well if you are unlocked, rooted, TWRP installed, and have your boot animation replaced, you are pretty much to go but for Xposed if you want it. Nice job there [MENTION=4550832]demonshouter[/MENTION]!

Further discussion has to go in the right thread. PIck one that is relevant and let me know. ;)

I cant flash any recovery, thats strange thing. Always have pink failed on the screen (in fastboot mode). Cant even flash stock recovery...everything works fine except recovery.

Could use a little help...

It's been a while since I've done much with my XT912 after the last CM11 (4.4.4) update in November stopped Xposed framework from working. I got a little upset when I tried applying the "fixes" back then and trashed the phone. After reinstalling the OS from scratch I've left it alone as it's been stable as a rock.

Now I'd like to try re-applying Xposed and get Greenify working again. However, I spent hours searching through the forums trying to find a link to the 4.4.4 framework I'd flash through recovery mode. I've found an .apk for the app but it needs the framework.

I'd appreciate it if someone could pass me a link. My eyes have crossed after this much time searching. Many thanks in advance!
