Im experiencing an issue trying to extracts tar archives in Amaze 3.1.1 downloaded from Fdroid.

Specifically, clicking on a tar archive a message window prompts asking three possible actions to perform: cancel, view (disabled) or extract.

Choosing "extract", the files in the archive seem to be correctly extracted but they are only zero length (zero bytes) files!
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
Thanks for reporting, I'll look into the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
I believe I commented on this in the past ( and it is actually the main reason I can't use this file manager ) but hopefully an option or preference to have full filenames visible will be available eventually.
[Android Apps and Games] kriticar:
I am confirming that sort issue is solved in the current version. Thanks

I tried to add subdirectory located on samba share with three dots and add to bookmark option, but only samba share is added with no further path.

Than edited samba connection, and after IP addres I have put x.x.x.x/subdir1/subdir2/subdir3 and it worked. I consider this as a workaround, add to bookmark should respect full path on samba share.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
Could you be kind enough and create an issue about this on GitHub so that I can keep a track of it?

What else do you suggest? Shall I make file name horizontal scrollable or a marquee kinda animation?
[Android Apps and Games] EasyFilters:
This is great!
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
Thank you for thinking about this. Hoped it would be possible to see the whole filename at once, like FX or MiXplorer do for instance; those file managers also offer a preference switch for truncating the filenames for users who prefer not to see them.

I work with directories that have files with very long filenames but the first words in the filename are usually the same, and the problem with truncated filenames is that they all look the same, no way to differentiate the files.
[Android Apps and Games] auroraxf:
Hi im new to this app and its great. But i dont can find a way to change file or folder permissions. Root etc is all active.

sry for bad english.
[Android Apps and Games] f_4Strings:
Changing permissions to file/folders correctly works.

Go to the directory of your choice (i.e. /data/media/0/Documents), then click at the right side of the file you want to change the permissions to.

Click Permissions from menu, then set the new ones. When you've finished don't forget to click the "Set" button.
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
Just so to keep you updated, I'll be working on it, a worker thread which will be initiated after the content has been loaded. The algorithm is basically just that I'll be comparing each two element in list to see what part they have in common (if any) and then ellipsise it so that the part of file name that's different is visible. Sounds good to you?
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
Thank you. Well, that's intriguing, never saw it before. (^_^)

Wouldn't it be less work for you to just display the filename as is ?
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
No, I can't display as is, it must be ellipsize if it's too long.
[Android Apps and Games] zzsomebody:
Great little file manager app Vishal, thanks for your efforts!

Although, I am not sure if its just me, but reading the description it mentions SMB file sharing, yet when scrolling around the app, I cannot see any network section in the Amaze app, so are these hidden or is this an optional download to install to enable SMB, and can this also be made to enable shares to appear in favourites or to have files on the phone selected and sent to particular shares?

I also did read you were working on adding cloud storage access, which is also will come in very handy for some or most, though any chance on expanding the Icon sizes appearances yet its just a personal preference of course.

Another request which may be handy would be an association section in the settings so we can choose our own open with function to choose our installed pic viewer, movie player, audio etc.

Thanks again for your efforts mate! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
Amaze is not detected as a file manager when using PDFCreator app.

It seems you should implement an intent-filter to open files/directories. Is it possible? TIA
[Android Apps and Games] ArgamanZa:
Hey, I would like to report a bug / check if it's only me with this bug:

When receiving . rar files via Google Inbox app, clicking the file with only Amaze installed will show me a toast saying there is no app installed which is able to open that kind of file (see attached picture).

After installing another file manager (Es Explorer) this problem is solved, and the archive is opened with ES Explorer without even showing me the dialog to choose Amaze.

It's a big problem since there must be another file manager installed since I can't download the archive from Inbox and open it manually with Amaze.
[Android Apps and Games] androcraze:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAR_(file_format)

RAR is not a free format. I'd be surprised if it was included. If ES Explorer is including it, it's probably at the expense of a royalty. Have you looked at:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rarlab.rar&hl=en

to see what Amaze does if it's installed? Perhaps that may be a better solution: Amaze looks for the RAR app if installed, and launches it.

EDIT: It's a bug!
[Android Apps and Games] Fearless_Knight:
Love this. Great Work
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
This indeed is a bug. Zip file opens just fine, it's just with rar files. If possible, create an issue on GitHub so that I can keep a track of it. Currently working on other things so I might possibly forget about this.

Lastly, thanks for informing (:
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
It's been fixed. Will be included in upcoming beta (v3.1.2 beta 4).
[Android Apps and Games] dwilliamson1066:
Hello there!

I'm also not able to find any sort of SMB functionality, I can start an FTP server from within the app and it works great (other than not providing root access).

Was this feature pulled or am I missing something?

Otherwise - fantastic app! Well done!!
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
Press on the fab button (lower right '+' icon) > SMB Connection
[Android Apps and Games] dwilliamson1066:
Thanks! - is that what those buttons are called in material design? 'fab'?

This function doesn't work as I'd expected actually - it appears to function as an SMB client but not as a server - i.e. I am unable to browse the android file system from other devices on the network. Is this by design or am I again missing something?

Also - is there any way to browse the root file system via FTP ?

Thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
Yes, that's floating action button.

And yes again, we don't have smb server yet, you can use ftp for the same.

And no, you can't browse root files as it is not allowed. Though I might try if we can utilize root to do the same.
[Android Apps and Games] krija:
Hi [MENTION=4249580]vishal007[/MENTION]. I want report little bug when root explorer is enabled on my device LG G2 LP 5.0.2. Names of the folders and files in root directory contains everything like permissions, directories etc. With disabled root explorer have folders and files correct names. Can you check it, please?
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
OK,I've seen this problem in some other devices too. I'll look into it. You might wanna create an issue about this on GitHub, in case I forget to check this up.

awsome work :)
[Android Apps and Games] bdtoole:
First, thank you for a wonderful app! Second, I saw this mentioned earlier in the thread, and I didn't see an update on it, but apologies if this is a repeat question. Is there any chance we can get 7-zip archival support added?
[Android Apps and Games] krypdyr:
Added data

Hi, and thank you for this great file manager! I really like the interface and features like SMB connection. The fact that it's free with no ads is incredible:)

On both my devices, LG G2 (d802) and Lenovo Tab 2 A10-70F, Amaze File Manager adds ekstra Bytes of binary data to the end of copied files. The amount added is different from file to file, bigger files get less added. This makes some files unreadable by some application. E.g. OpenVPN won't import client config-file because it's now binary and not just text. Both devices are running Android 6 and are rooted.

Any idea what's going on?
[Android Apps and Games] jsedano:
Configure main folders

Hello,

Amaze is amazing ;)

However, in order to replace my current file manager, I need to solve a few issues. Can anybody help me?

I have 3 diferent devices where I would like to use Amaze, and I have different problems on all of them.

First device: old 4.1.1 tablet

Amaze shows the quick access in the left part, one of them called "sdcard". I click on "sdcard" and the path above shows /mnt/sdcard, showing the internal storage of the device.

The problem is that this tablet also have an additional SD card, which Android shows as /mnt/external_sd. I can click on the path above, cilck on /mnt/ and manually choose "external_sd". Is there any way I can put this path directly in the left side, as a kind of quick access?

Second device: 5.0.1 tablet for kids

The left part shows a quick access to "storage" (in Spanish "almacenamiento", which is ok, because the tablet is configured in Spanish) and usbotg (even while the tablet does not have an USB-OTG pendrive connected).

If I click on "storage", /storage/emulated/0 is browsed, with the content of the internal storage. Cool.

However, the tablet also have an external SD card, which I dot see in the left part. I can click on the path, select "storage" and them select "sdcard1", which is the content of the SD card.

Unfortunately, the tablet is to be used by a kid, and I find this a bit too dificult to use. How can I add /storage/sdcard1 to the left part as a kind of quick access? I known I can create a shortcut in the desktop, but that is not exactly the same, since the kid is used to the left part of ES File Expert (which is the FM I want to replace).

(As an aside, if I plug an external USB pendrive and I choose "usbotg", the content of the pendrive is shown, as expected)

Third device: my own Nexus 6 with Android 7.0

The left part shows "storage" and works as expected. No way to insert an SD card, so no problem on this side.

But if I plug an USB-OTG pendrive... how can I access it from Amaze?

Any help is welcome.

Thanks,

J

Great but:

- Why everybody put app manager into file manager? It just make it heavier. For this I have system manager or titanium backup.

- Static shortcusts. I dont want shortcuts like music, dcim, videos. Just add option to delete them.

- Keep it simple. DOnt add any stuff like music player, app manager, video player like it is in ES EXPLORER. I hate ES because of this

- Adding our own shortcust would be great

It is all for now. Great app, hope you will not make it like every other overpacked app in playstore. Keep it simple as much as you can and will even pay for pro version if there will be
[Android Apps and Games] androcraze:
What's "titanium backup"? Can you point me to the source code for it?

I like the built-in app manager and I use it frequently. I suspect the reason "all" the file managers include it is because the code to implement it is rather small to begin with.
[Android Apps and Games] lsander:
Titanium backup is in google store available. Have no idea if it is opensource. It is simply wpp for everyting. Manage system apps, users app, backup restore and many many more. I uae this since years
[Android Apps and Games] Mawth:
TB is not open source. Pay to play. And requires root access.

I for one appreciate the app manager functionality of Amaze for backing up apps.
[Android Apps and Games] icrunchbanger:
Hi [MENTION=4500270]arpitkh96[/MENTION], great open source file manager!! Keep up the good work.

Is there any plan for implementing round icon to go with 7.1.1 ?
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
1. You can just add the path to it as a bookmark for navigation drawer or as home screen.

2. 3. This OTG bug was in early implementations, and should've been fixed with latest production version on play store.

1. That's great! Even I use titanium backup. You can simply ignore it then, as many people actually can't/don't want a dedicated backup app and this just makes backup quick/simple/easier. Everyone has their own preference.

2. You can long press on them, and delete them. However, there's a bug, which I'll be working on fixing, where you don't actually get anything with long press. A workaround to that is by adding a bookmark in navigation drawer, then long press works.

3. Yea, audio/video player is not planned as of now, as we have more important stuff to work upon, so don't worry.

4. You can already add your own shortcuts to home screen, side navigation drawer. With latest build, you can also add a tile for starting FTP server on nougat.

---------- Post added at 12:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 AM ----------

Not planned. Feel free to use any icon pack and launcher to set it up.

---------- Post added at 12:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 AM ----------

Yes, absolutely. But it's gonna take a big more time as I have priorities for other features. So, just hang in there for bit more.

Yes, that was a big big mistake to publish something like that in a production build. I've worked really hard fixing and rewriting everything. The latest production build on play store is pretty much stable and safe to use. Sorry for your data corruption.

As a token of appreciation, I've implemented very cool copy/move/extract/compress progress screen. So next time when you do any of those, make sure to press on the notification (:

There was no answer by now. Could it be implemented in the meantime?

If amaze would be known to be capable of keeping timestamp on copy and move on rooted devices, I'd like to have a look on it.

The App Manager of Amaze shows only one App. I have a rooted phone and installed the app from F-Droid. Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
Try clearing app data. I've just tried on my device. Did you grant the storage permission?
[Android Apps and Games] neolovich:
Thanks for the answer. Clearing the App Data didnt help. I'm not so firm with the english expressions. What does it mean to grant the storage permission?
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
Better idea than to ask here: create an issue report on the github:

https://github.com/arpitkh96/AmazeFileManager/issues
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
When opening the App Manager for the first time, Amaze should ask the storage permission (Android 6.0+ of course).

You may try the Play Store version or open an Github issue. Mention the app and Android versions BTW.
[Android Apps and Games] neolovich:
Thank you. Im using Android 5.1. I tried now three version of Amaze. 3.1.1, 3.1.0 Beta 2 and 3.0.1. With 3.0.1 the App Manager works without problems.
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
Fdroid is not building amaze anymore. You might wanna download fdroid compatible apk from

It's the same apk as you wouldve gotten from fdroid only digital signature is different.
[Android Apps and Games] Soli M:

[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
Because of Play Services dependencies? There's no plan to keep a pure FLOSS version?
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
Apparently they don't build beta versions unless we ask them to. I'm gonna push a stable one in few days so let's hope they build that one.

Ps. Fdroid version don't have any play services dependency, don't worry about that!

[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
I can't copy files to external Sd. Ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
You need to follow the steps mentioned there to give specified permissions for Amaze to perform any write operation on SD Card.
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
Yes, I really would like to follow these steps. But in witch app can I find this "open from" and "recents"? tapping "ÖFFNEN" goes to the default filemanager of LienageOS. Tapping "ABBRECHEN" gives an error toast "FEHLER"
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
After the screen following your positive button click on this dialog, a screen will come up.

In that screen, In the side drawer below recents, you should see Sd Card option. If there's none, try pressing on three dot menu and look for 'Show Sd Card option'. If this ain't there as well, make sure Sd Card is mounted properly. Taking it out and putting back, followed by a reboot would be enough.
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
I've changed the permissions of SD Card with "Total Commander" from 755 to 777 and reboted my phone. This improved situation a little bit. Amaze sees still only permission "rx", but now the positive button doesn't shoot me to default file browser, but into a screen (not amaze styled) with recents and sdcard1. Side drawer from the left only let me select documents/internalST/externalSD. Three dot menu only has "new folder" greyed out. Im sure, sd card is hardware munted properly. Other apps have access. Do you mean some kind of software mounting?
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
Apparently you had selected Default browser as 'default' action for this intent. Regardless, now that you're getting a different screen which is not Amaze styled, that's what we need. Just navigate to the root of externalSD from Side drawer and press on 'Select' from lower right and you're done.
[Android Apps and Games] kurtn:
Thank you for this highly selective noob filter. :D I shouldn't be allowed to work with root as long as I failed this test.

vishal007,

Does you "cloud plugin" support MEGA cloud service, so it is possible to copy/paste files directly from the phone to MEGA (and back)?
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
Sorry, no MEGA support as of yet.
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
v3.1.2 RC4 is up on Play Store.

Also, cloud plugin work 100% right now, but I might need to remove it from Play Store for some time, due to some problems regrading Payments in my country. Once I get it sorted it'll be up on Play Store.

For those of you who purchased (or want to purchase) the plugin and wanna get the new update, contact me so that I can personally send them the APK file.
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:

Can we expect MEGA integration?
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
Yes, it's definitely possible. Expect Mega and FTP Client implementation in near future.
[Android Apps and Games] flocke000:
Will SFTP support also be included?

And will this all be distributed in the current cloud plugin or will there be separate plugins?
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
Yes, SFTP will be included. I'm planning to put only Mega in the plugin, not the Ftp client.

The cloud services require an API access key. I can't possibly keep those keys open. However, ftp doesn't require the keys to connect.
[Android Apps and Games] xelato:
Sorry if this is obvious, but is there a way to see how much storage is being used out of the total? I can't seem to find a way to view that for my internal storage or my microSD card.
