Don't worry, I am happy that now it works! :)
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
Have found out what the problem was, if I use turbo editor and open a root file it works no problem, however if I use fx file explorer and navigate to the file I want to edit,launching turbo editor from within fx will gives the read only mount error, will post in the fx explorer thread
[Android Apps and Games] Vlad Mihalachi:
I will also investigate on that to see if the cause is Turbo Editor. :)
[Android Apps and Games] ibub:
Hello Vlad, I had recently installed a similar app ( code editor) to edit an updater script. Problem was that only 10.5 kb would load. I also tried another script of a different size, backspaced the last character, re-keyed the character, and saved the file. Got the same 10.5kb of truncated file. Now I've uninstalled it and installed Turbo, and I have the same problem (also with text editor in xplore file manager). So I don't believe it's a problem with the app. Is this a cache limit? Do you know of a way to increase the available size? Sorry if this has already been asked. I'm just a little frustrated.

Slightly modified bumped boot image

EDIT: I read back several pages. [MENTION=2568623]MarvinFS[/MENTION] had the same problem last October. I also have an older device that properly loads the whole file (same file).
[Android Apps and Games] MarvinFS:
problem is still not solved for me! I'm not sure about the reasons (i'm still on LG G3 android 4.4.4)

but i suggest you try 920 text editor - works great for me, although it's terribly slow...
[Android Apps and Games] Vlad Mihalachi:
I understand how frustrating this problem can be, but the fact that is related to some device and with mine it doesn't occur makes it hard to understand the motivation.
[Android Apps and Games] ibub:
Yeah, I'm gonna take a logcat while loading, and see what I can figure out. Possibly post results to aid other LG users.

EDIT: Logcat seems to yield nothing. My best guess is that it's related to a default file buffer size when opening a file as text for edit. But I have no idea how to access any such setting.

Find feature ineffective

Again, any update on the search feature of this app? I just donated and didn't realize this feature doesn't search entire text file.

---------- Post added at 07:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 PM ----------

This is still a problem. Do you know when this will be fixed?
[Android Apps and Games] Raijin:
I've trying some text editors and I think Turbo Edit is the best of all. So much options to make life easier editing system files. It's a pleasure using it. Thank you for making Turbo Editor.

Unfortunately, after donating I get this empty layout. With clean data it doesn't happen, but if I exit and enter again, there's almost no interface. So I need to clean the app data after each use.

Please, check it. I'm using a Nexus 6 with Android 5.1.1 and Turbo Editor 2.2.2.

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] Vlad Mihalachi:
Hi! Hope to fix it by tomorrow, Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Raijin:
Thanks to you!
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
Still got a problem editing root files,have mentioned it in the FX Explorer thread but have not had a response
[Android Apps and Games] Raijin:
Update received, bug fixed and in less than two hours. Thank you so much for your work, your app rocks.
[Android Apps and Games] Vlad Mihalachi:
Could you give me the path of a file that you cannot edit? (and also is not too important). :)
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
Ok interesting, If I open turbo editor and navigate to the file (in this case /system/su.d I can make edits and it saves, if I launch turbo editor from within a file explorer(ES file explorer/Fx explorer) get an error, if I mount system RW then try to lauch turbo and get an error, if I come out of the file manager /system is still mounted RW, if I open turbo editor now also get an error ?

Got no answer from the file manager developer so cant say if thats where the problem is :(
[Android Apps and Games] xdarthanonx:
I previously had similar problems with another editor if I had toast notifications enabled for superuser requests. Disabling the toast notifications eliminated the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] arf8:
Boy i got burned using this editor for the good part of a day.

I assume this is a bug, i was using this editor to modify a system file in /data/overlay/ and i used Root Browser to open the file which is a *.json file and i made the changes and for what ever reason the system had problem and the file would not allow it to show up in themes. Thanks to cambunch he noticed the files was heavily with additional syntax that should not be there, sure enough i opened it in notepad++ and saw that it is adding "/" before words and after as a space filler. Has anyone else seen this problem with this editor?

@Vlad Mihalachi

I though i would add that if i use RB Text Editor it does not cause any problems, could this be an issue with opening the file from Root Browser?

Thanks

---------- Post added at 05:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 PM ----------

@Vlad Mihalachi

edit:

its adding backslash not forward slash...
[Android Apps and Games] arf8:
Want to add if I open the file just through Turbo Editor and not Root Browser it does the same thing by adding all the slashes.
[Android Apps and Games] Snowby123:
This app used to be working for me. Now, when I try to edit system files, I get an error message. First I make the changes I desire, then I hit save. After that I get two popup bubbles. The first says error; the second says root access was granted. What's up?
[Android Apps and Games] Snowby123:
Not exactly. I now when I try again it soft bricked my phone.
[Android Apps and Games] wowitschris:
Doesn't work with external keyboard (Nexus 9)

I like the promise of this app, but the moment I press shift on the external keyboard, the app gets stuck in selection mode and I can't leave it. Please fix! Obviously this bug makes the app impossible to use on an external keyboard. (Also reported this issue on github)
[Android Apps and Games] TimAnd:
F-Droid says "Version 1.19 - Added on 2015-03-29" while Play says "Version 2.2.4 - 2015-07-23". Why is F-Droid not current? Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] Vlad Mihalachi:
Because Turbo Editor and Turbo Client share the same part of code now and I can't share just the editor's code.
[Android Apps and Games] Vlad Mihalachi:
I have replied to you on github :)
[Android Apps and Games] TechnoSparks:
This is a really nice editor and I must say I am very glad that I found it!

But my first usage isn't that thrilling though, the syntax highlighting does not work for some reason. Yes, syntax highlighting is enabled.

Thoughts?
[Android Apps and Games] Vlad Mihalachi:
That's strange since mine works great. Have you tried other files?
[Android Apps and Games] TechnoSparks:
Woops sorry forgot to tell which programming language I was testing :|

I attempted to edit a php file and syntax highlighting did not work.

Just now I tried CSS and HTML. Still not working. What can I do to help?

Running Lollipop 5.1, AICP (based on CM) 10.0, a nightly.
[Android Apps and Games] Snowby123:
It's disappointing. When I try editing the build prop using this tool I always soft brick after I Reboot. If I try editing anything else, I get a toast popup saying error. Some screen shots would help explain it better, but the XDA app crashes when I try attaching any picture. Any ideas? I tried explaining this earlier, but. Don't believe I was clear enough.
[Android Apps and Games] arf8:
It is b/c this editor is adding additional characters in. I completely uninstalled it and stopped using it as a result. It works fine on non System/OS files but if you dabble into editing those you will get these issues.

[Android Apps and Games] xdarthanonx:
I use TE mainly for viewing system files (for the syntax highlighting). For editing them I use the editor built into Total Commander - it actually preserves file permissions correctly!
[Android Apps and Games] Snowby123:
It does work great for viewing system files, but it is rather disappointing that editing system files fails.
[Android Apps and Games] arf8:
The issue is not permissions, it is the fact that it appends characters, look at my post. I use Root Browser or Root Explorer for system file editing. TC is good for desktop use but there are better methods if you ask me.

cheers
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hey dev, can you please update the F-Droid version with the play store version's icon.

It's much nicer.
[Android Apps and Games] kilador:
This is a great app, however it's got a critical bug.

When opening and editing whatever kind of file with the editor, it only shows part of the code. More than 2/3 of the code of the file is missing, which makes this app useless to connect and edit files via ftp.

A shame really, since it looks good and promising.
[Android Apps and Games] constpetrov:
Hello! It is very nice looking app, but I got problems reading files on different OS – say, after each character in the file there is another character whick can bee seen in Vim as "^@". It's not shown in other editors, but when I browse the file with arrow keys it takes to clicks to travel one character, so I think this characters are in file.
[Android Apps and Games] Trasd:
I also have a problem! Whenever I paste in a lot of text, the editor crashes.
[Android Apps and Games] Flint Eastwood:
Hello Vlad.

I found your Turbo-Editor on F-Droid. But now I'm confused.

Why is version on F-Droid 1.19 and on Google-Play-Store 2.4 ?

And why is the source-code on Github only 1.19 ?

Bug in 2.4 : The "special signs line" is hidden by the onscreen-keyboard. In 1.19 it was working.

And is there a way to edit the "special signs line" ? Changing the order of the signs to personal preference would be nice. And here in Germany I'm really missing the lower quotation mark.

Greetings,

Flint Eastwood
[Android Apps and Games] Trasd:
Vlad,

Have you abandoned us? The last post I see from you was on July 24th, 2015 and a few problems have been reported since then.

I wrote you before I purchased the app and I was assured this was a viable project - then, nothing.

Please let us know the project's status. If it's no longer being updated on Google Play, I'd like to know, as I'm sure others would as well.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] tomtul2:
I want word suggestions but NOT spelling check

I was about to uninstall Turbo Editor, though I like it a lot, because my memos were full of red underlined words, which was distracting. These are quick notes I write to myself and I use a lot of abbreviations and don't care if there are misspellings.

I'm glad I found this post because I didn't know how to turn off spell check. So I'll keep Turbo Editor.

However I would like the text suggestions, without red underlining of misspelled words.

[Android Apps and Games] Maxrulez:
I have tried several different settings, but I don't manage to create a file with the CRLF newline encoding, so if I create a .txt file on the phone I can't see on Windows the newlines in the correct way...

Does anyone know if there is a way to do so?

(Great app anyway! :D )
[Android Apps and Games] davidcie:
I am truly amazed an app such well designed, thought through and full-featured as this one exists here on XDA. A true gem of open source software and testimony to the quality of community gathered around this site. A huge thank you for putting in the hours and sharing this editor with us!
[Android Apps and Games] TheShanMan:
Just started using and seems like a great app. Open last viewed file at startup doesn't work. I get No content provider: /storage/emulated/0. Guessing it's because it's on my SD card even though I've granted root access. I can open the file fine manually though. Also would love a temporary toggle for read only mode on the "..." menu. Mostly I like to just read without having the keyboard pop up but occasionally I want to edit. Finally a theme with dim yellow background and brown text would be nice but I'm happy even without. Thank you!

Very good alternative to the DroidEdit, thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] TheShanMan:
One more thing... it would be nice if the recently opened list was sorted by how recently the file was opened (i.e. most recently opened at the top), or at least an option to sort that way. It's not even clear to me how it does sort currently. :)

Any chance of a new version anytime soon? Looks like it's been a while. :)

I think this project is stopped, although it still works on Pie. I installed MiXplorer, and it has a code editor and text editor, both are separate, and both are good, already uninstalled Turbo Editor which I had a problem with, but forgot what it was.
[Android Apps and Games] Trasd:
I switched to MiXplorer myself, and I love it! It seems to be based on Android's SAF, so I'm hoping it survives the 'Q' debacle! I've also been using QuickEdit Pro for a couple years and, it is impressive as well.

Storage Framework file corruption on save

After upgrade to Android 10 or Turbo Editor itself I have the following issue:

Every time I edit a file in Termux app using "Storage Access Framework" file gets corrupted by appending some random lines to the end. I think this is happening more when I remove some lines from the file then similar amount of (random) lines are appended to the end of the file.

It was working perfectly fine for long time before Android upgrade.

I tried to create an issue on GitHub but have not enabled them there.

AFAIK, https://github.com/maks/viper-edit is more or less the official successor...
[Android Apps and Games] shadowvfx:
So, sorry about the thread necro. But, Viper looks like it's abandoned too. Is there anything like this app that will work on modern Android devices? I absolutely loved Turbo editor, but am not familiar with other tools that would handle the same tasks.

As an FYI, I am looking for something that can allow me to download a text document from SFTP and edit it, then reupload it to the SFTP server.

[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
The original Jota ( still available, even runs on KitKat ) and Jota+ ( the new version ) are the only ones I know of than can open really big files on Android. Talking about several MB. Hopefully Turbo will join the club and we'll have more options...
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
[MENTION=4004386]Ultramanoid[/MENTION] hope you are well, sure I tried jota ages ago and if it didn't crash on loading it would lag like crazy,that was on a Nexus 4,keen to see if the developer can pull something out the bag,may give jota another spin

Edit Nope Jota still doesn't work starts loading the file then and lag then FC the hosts is 15MB, the search continues........
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
Well, good to know. True, I remember Jota being very slow when I tried, like you say, I could edit and copy-paste a bit, but I think my files were around 4-5 MB. I'm very interested in an editor that can do this too.

Hope all is well over your side of the world !
[Android Apps and Games] rkirmeier:
Whatever will allow a person to open and edit files on a SMB share.
[Android Apps and Games] dron39:

Yeah, I think yes.

I see for nice replacement to Jota.

I think it will be cool if you will add support for a big files, because i think that hardware of my device (Xperia Z1C) can open such files without a problems.
[Android Apps and Games] :
LOL remember what happened when Notepad tried to auto-detect file encodings?

Windows XP Notepad failed so hard at that, that when you would save a "plain" text document containing "Bush hid the facts", Notepad would think the document was encoded in UTF-16LE.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush_hid_the_facts

I would appreciate a setting that lets you choose the file encoding manually, and another one that lets you turn off encoding auto-detection.
[Android Apps and Games] anonymous-bot:
I am currently trying out Turbo Editor and have some comments:

1. It would be nice if the app side panels and file picker would also have a dark theme.

2. When I click Encoding, I get a dialog box with a text box. Do I just enter a different encoding like "ANSI" to change it? I think having a drop down box would be better.

3. The dialog for changing the font size only has a slider. Maybe the font size (number) could be shown too?

4. Does your app have advertising? Addons Detector seems to think so.
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
I was going to ask about this too. It seems there's an AppBrain library for advertising bundled with Turbo Editor. What does it do exactly ? I just uninstalled the editor until I know more about this.
[Android Apps and Games] Vlad Mihalachi:
Hi, for now I'll just increase this limit. In the future I'll try to make the app handle big files without any lags or crashes :)
[Android Apps and Games] Vlad Mihalachi:
1) I don't know if changing the color of the side panels is a good idea. As for the file picker I'll change the background color based on the theme.

2) I'll change this part into a dialog with many encodings and a button to enable autoencoding

3) Ok

4) Shame on me, I've used Appbrain/Applift for the ads before but now no ads are shown. Do you think an Interstitial once per day is a big problem?
[Android Apps and Games] Vlad Mihalachi:
I'll change this part into a dialog with many encodings and a button to enable auto-encoding :)
[Android Apps and Games] Vlad Mihalachi:
Hi man, Appbrain was used to show ads before but now no ads are shown. Do you think an Interstitial once per day is a big problem?
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
No, and neither is it a problem if you charge for your work if you think that's fair. I worry whenever there's advertising for security reasons, usually because it uses internet permissions, etc. But since I saw no ads in the editor and the AppBrain library was there I was wondering what it did.

Some of us are really paranoid... (◑︿◐)
[Android Apps and Games] Vlad Mihalachi:
A new version is available on the store and on the download section of this thread. Turbo Editor now can open bigger files but don't expect a good experience. In the future I'll try to make the app handle big files without any lags or crashes :)

Changelog 14 Aug 2014

∙ New encoding dialog. There you can also enable/disable the auto encoding

∙ Added support to SQL and MATLAB

∙ The font size dialog now shows the current font size

∙ The background of the screens changes in relation to the selected theme

Info: The internet permission is used to show an Interstitial. The ad will be shown at max once per day.

[Android Apps and Games] Vlad Mihalachi:
Hi, the size limit now is of 20 mb more or less but Turbo Editor as other file editors cant handle those files "properly". In the future I will try to make the app open big files without lags oe crashes. :)
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
What is the exact problem with files so large? Is it an android OS problem given no editor for android seems to be able to handle big un's?
[Android Apps and Games] elesbb:
It works sort of ;)

You almost have it! I sent you a PM :)

---------- Post added at 02:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 PM ----------

The files have to be read line by line. There is no way to "read entire contents at once".

Best way to read large files is to break the file up. Read each part of the file at the same time. Then once all parts are read, combine them Ito human readable format.
[Android Apps and Games] Shlikstr:

I'm getting an error when trying to edit a file in /system/etc

first time I messed up gps.conf... now I'm trying to edit a custum file 'test.conf'

Turbo Editor asks for Superuser, and I grant it for 10 minutes, and then it closes... and when I open the file again this is whats on it..

sh: <stdin>[17]: cat: /storage/emulated/0/temp.root.file: No such file or directory

this happened with gps.conf too... :(
[Android Apps and Games] Vlad Mihalachi:
