Building Amaze: library no longer available?

When I now try to build Amaze from source I am getting an error that the library

implementation 'com.github.PhilJay:MPAndroidChart:v3.0.2'

is no longer available. Was there another shutdown of a repository on September 30th?

I was not able to find any repository that still has this library in version v3.0.2.

A second dependency seem to have changed:

implementation 'com.github.npgall:concurrent-trees:2.6.1'

->

implementation 'com.googlecode.concurrent-trees:concurrent-trees:2.6.1'
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
Will look into it.
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
Amaze File Manager v3.6.4+ is now available on Android TV.
[Android Apps and Games] AKmatiAK:
This app is great, thanks for your work. Is paypal only donation option?
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
Guys, I'll be giving a talk live basically about android ecosystem, how Amaze came up in initial days, my journey being an open source application dev, and our current tech stack and how we tackled many issues one is likely to face while working on open source applications. Please do join.

There will be a QnA session post talk as well.

v3.6.7 is out on play store, few bugfixes and we support Android 11 and 12 'all files' permission now.
[Android Apps and Games] sturges:
I just realized the f-droid version was not receiving updates and so I downloaded the latest version from izzyondroid.

Is there a way to change the default language in Amaze? I prefer english over a partial translation.
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
Not currently. If you feel the translation is partial, you can help with the translations. It'll take very less amount of time and will help others using your language :)

[Android Apps and Games] sturges:
Ok, done :)
[Android Apps and Games] Doomkopf:
So that means, since version 3.1.2 rc2, it's not *actually* open source anymore?
[Android Apps and Games] sturges:
Izzy has the latest stable version though, if you don't want to install from gplay
[Android Apps and Games] sturges:
How much before a version with the new translations is released?
[Android Apps and Games] androcraze:
Linux has "binary blobs" included with the kernel for (mostly) video drivers. Is Linux open source?
[Android Apps and Games] crypta:
Linux itself can be build from source...
[Android Apps and Games] androcraze:
And so can Amaze, with pre-built JAR blob files.

Linux kernel has many "binary blobs" (as does the AOSP kernel); AMD, Intel, Arm, and other CPU/video vendors include them. Linus Torvalds insists that these inclusions don't violate the GPL2. There's a "de-blobbed" kernel available for diehards (GNU Linux-libre), but I believe that's still encumbered by blobs that can't be excluded without breaking things.

What is "Linux"? Most of the tools included with Linux distros are certainly available to other Unix-ish platforms (BSDs, Mac, Solaris, etc.). LibreOffice, GNU Utils, Mutt, GIMP, and just about everything else can be found in every other platform under a multitude of licenses. To me, "Linux" is the kernel and those applications that are necessary to interact with it.

So Linux, despite being open source and being able to be compiled by end users, still has close-sourced components. It's no different than what Amaze is doing.

Getting back to Amaze, I'd rather have it on F-Droid meeting the site's guidelines. Perhaps a non-JAR "lite" build would work; I think the JAR files are related to cloud things -- which I don't use Amaze for -- and I wouldn't miss them. Perhaps something along the lines of Fennec ( a telemetry-limited version of Firefox).

There's nothing preventing a capable developer from running a de-blobbed, parallel fork of Amaze on F-Droid.
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
Exactly, Amaze can be built from source and is GNU Gpl v3, so there's no question that we're open source. However, we do have plans to remove the closed source component for cloud connections with our in house api at https://github.com/TeamAmaze/LaputaCloudsLib

Apart from that, we're also working on another project that introduces analysis similar to Google files along with media players within one app only instead of using third party players for audio / video / images / document viewing.

To try that you can join our telegram group at https://t.me/AmazeFileManager
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
Our new app Amaze File Utilities app is now live on Play Store!

Amaze File Utilities - Apps on Google Play

Analyse, transfer and open media files all in one open source app.

play.google.com

It took me over 7 months day and night, working for this one. I just hope it'll be useful to you all.

For first 1000 subscribers I have enabled 15 days free trial and post that subscription charges are also halved at just under a buck for a year!

Please try it, give your feedbacks and I just hope we're able to raise enough funds to fund our work on open source project through this. We'll start channeling funds in bounties to outside contributors as well as to the team. For Amaze File Manager as well as any future projects.

I request you all to give it a try, download and give a good rating as well as review if you like it.

1. List videos / images / music documents in your device in a interactive UI where you're able to group / sort and quickly jump to any headers.

2. Open videos / images / music / documents (pdf / docx / epub) with inbuilt player.

3. Share / delete / cast on your tv

4. Analyse internal storage for junk files, duplicate files, large videos / old downloads / screenshots or recordings.

5. Analyse and group images between memes, low light / blurry / selfies / group pics.

7. Transfer files directly between two mobile devices on same wifi network using high speed peer to peer network

8. Gesture support in image / video player, play in background, picture in picture mode, download subtitles within the player.

I hope you like the interface as well, this time I tried something different than the material design that we've been using in the past.
[Android Apps and Games] Doomkopf:
Did anyone here get Amaze to work as a SMB Client? I can't find my computer in my network :( Is this SMB 1.0? Do I need to enable support for that?
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
Hi, amaze supports smb 2. If automatic scan doesn't show your device you can manually add your ip address.
[Android Apps and Games] drift08:
Just started using this file manager. Butter smooth speed, love the design and functionality. Is it possible to have the ability to add file shortcut to homescreen? If I missed this option in the app, can someone let me know how? Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
Hi guys, I would like to announce that finally we're back up on Fdroid with our latest version 3.8

[Android Apps and Games] irmageddon:
There's an unusual translation for the menu item in the language you seem to speak, "Schnellwahl" or simply the bottommost item, in case I'm mistaken with my guess.
[Android Apps and Games] boyheadkick:
REPORT: when a message comes in and i open the app through the lockscreen shortcut to open the message, it's all good..but when i press home or back key to return to homescreen the pop up is there but it's blank, and i've already opened the message so it shouldn't be popping up anymore..
[Android Apps and Games] Avadillion:
i like it because its awesome smart phone file manager
[Android Apps and Games] Ltdrev:
indeed...

+1

I'm really impressed by the features and themes but just two little things (sorry I know it's a lot to keep up already)

Please don't take theses comments has bashing it's not at all: I didn't notice previously but you have Holo ghosts haunting your transitions :(

And maybe i'm fussy but solid colors material checkboxes and newer fonts (I didn't see where I could change theses, if I can forgetaboutit) would polish an otherwise very good looking app!
[Android Apps and Games] raihan4:
+1
[Android Apps and Games] Cerv3r:
Maybe multi windows? I love the design. I wish solid explorer was updated.
[Android Apps and Games] jshare:
Great job. The app looks terrific and runs very smoothly. I've been using it all day as my main file explorer, so here are some suggestions:

Dual panel - this would be awesome

Multi-window support - if I had this, I could open 2 instances and wouldn't need dual panel

Better search results - search works, but when I hold down one of the results, I don't get the same menu as if I had done the same thing to a file in a directory. For example, if I search a directory for a file and it appears in the results list, holding my finger on it doesn't make the copy/paste top bar appear
[Android Apps and Games] bankai03:
Very good job

[MENTION=4500270]arpitkh96[/MENTION]

I just finished editing and the various changes to the French language ;)

Once the application is up to date I could more precisely refined translation. :fingers-crossed:

If ever you can make a trial version I would be happy to be both tester and also French translator for your application. :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
You might wanna make a pull request or send us the translated strings.xml file.

Thanks for your support :)
[Android Apps and Games] boyheadkick:
Another derp

Sent from my LG-D802
[Android Apps and Games] Netuser:
Thanks [MENTION=4500270]arpitkh96[/MENTION] That is cool looking file manager, love the theme and skin option :)

Need to use it for some time to see if it can replace totally Es Explorer.
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
Thanks for double checking my first translations. Even if I do not agree entirely with your modifications any help is appreciated :)

Can't wait for the next update!
[Android Apps and Games] MBariya:
Good design but missing two panel and archive file support
[Android Apps and Games] stevelexx:
Add some more functionality like zip and rar, fix root, am having error when using root enabled otherwise this the next big thing. love it. my default file manager :laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] marcoplo:
HI,

I love your app , would be possible to add " ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE intent." api so we could access sd card in lollipop 5.0 without having to deal with root, unlocked boot loaders to access sd cards

Thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
Currently, we don't have any device to test. I'll try to find any device and will look into this.
[Android Apps and Games] 360security:
I have one issue, no editor? I was attempting to make a edit to build.prop, but noticed no editor.:):):)
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
[MENTION=4500270]arpitkh96[/MENTION] is working on it's fix. Be patient...
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
Another suggestion: to be able to lock a file or a folder (even without password) in order to protect them from accidental deletion :) Thanks.

Example: Disable Service app saves our settings into /storage/emulated/0/DS_.backup.txt. This is not really handy so a lock feature coulp help.
[Android Apps and Games] mauam:
Two words, SIMPLY AMAZING:cool:
[Android Apps and Games] Sidz4u:
Congratts [MENTION=4500270]arpitkh96[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4249580]vishal007[/MENTION] for the success of your app.

So good to see a "Made in India <3" app getting so much love and recognition world wide.

Proud of you guys ! :good: ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Schrotty35:
Can you add dual windows mode?

Gesendet von meinem A0001 mit Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] arpitkh96:
You can add a window using add button...and switch between windows by clicking on the title
[Android Apps and Games] arpitkh96:
Some features which went unnoticed probably.

1. Click on path on action bar to show button bar for navigation

2. Round progress bar on actionbar while copying or any other operation can be clicked to view progress of the operation
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
There is a confirmation dialog box before deletion of any file.

Or did you mean something else?
[Android Apps and Games] xxiCoolxx:
Awesome work bro......it looks brilliant :)
[Android Apps and Games] zagayevskiy:
Like

Material theme pretty good, I like it
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
I'm not talking about a warning message. I mean a feature that could lock a file or folder. This file couldn't be deleted until we unlock.
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
I'll think about this once we get a stable release.
[Android Apps and Games] ergalle2:
Does it have FTP explorer?.
[Android Apps and Games] Cafi96:
Just improved the italian translation. Hope you're ok with it.

Can't insert a link baceuse I posted too few. I sent an mp to arpitkh96.
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
Not for now.
[Android Apps and Games] ergalle2:
Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] VanGolfer:
Briefly try it, looks great. Just wondering if you have any plan to support zip file?
[Android Apps and Games] bryan065:
+1 for the zip/rar support
[Android Apps and Games] TheHaso:
Hi, great app, but a few suggestions.

Make the red ringed text small as the green underlined one and move it where the orange line is. It will improve the visual of the action bar and give it a cleaner look.

Tings here is a bit miss aligned. It doesn't look good at all. Also maybe change the check box styles to something more material.

2 workspaces would be great, one located at root and the 2nd located on sdcard. As the root browser.

Black card ui of the black theme would be good. The black theme and white card ui is disturbing.

Otherwise a lot is great. I see forward to this app! :thumbup:
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
Thanks for suggestion, I'll consider your feedback and will give it a try.
[Android Apps and Games] maros005:
nice design
[Android Apps and Games] sancho_panzer:
[MENTION=4249580]vishal007[/MENTION]

Take a look at this open source app, very similar to yours and more powerful. Amaze should follow some of those interesting and needed features. Also, you will see a very good and correct Material Design implementation.

I'm aware of that file manager. I'm trying to implement some of basic UI elements. You'll see material design dialogs and the circle hiding with scroll in the upcoming release tomorrow.

Great app, material design, very nice, but has some fixes, for example, i don't cut and paste to sd card, sorry for my english ?

[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
This is a known problem. We're working on it's fix.
[Android Apps and Games] saffron82:
I like your app too.

Pasting on sd card it's quite complex problem though and not so many apps got it right. But if you will be able to fix it, your file manager will definitely stay permanently on my device :)
[Android Apps and Games] stevelexx:
The app is great, I like the UI with various themes, wanted to add on this.. there is this manager i have been using for a long time but seems developer has abandoned. AntTek Explorer EX.. kindly check on it n add its features but in your own way. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Intellectua1:
Nicely designed app, I have about 3 file managers on my phone and this is slowly taking the top spot (es file explorer). One thing I noticed that missing is Chromecast support for media files. ES added it and now I no longer need RealPlayer on my phone. If this app had it it'll definitely knock ES out the box.
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
Is it possible to make the translucent statusbar optional or -even better - make the statusbar colour match the header colour? I am using Xposed module Tinted Status Bar, but this does not work if the statusbar transparency is controlled by the currently running app like yours.
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
Can you give any screenshot as a reference? Currently, status bar matches with the action bar/skin applied...
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
[MENTION=4249580]vishal007[/MENTION]: Here you go.
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
I don't use xposed. Maybe disabling xposed will solve the problem?
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
I do not face this bug in the settings area, only when navigating through my folders. Strange :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
That's intentional for mainActivity. Can you tell me more about this problem? I mean, disabling xposed solves this or not?
[Android Apps and Games] TheHaso:
Disable TSB for the app then.

-

BTW [MENTION=4249580]vishal007[/MENTION]

Fast scrolling down or up a folder over 400 picturespictures force closes the app.

I did reporting using the android built in and here's the catlog

https://mega.co.nz/#!KxBXRS5A!dQvDgsUh4IWlWj6E2EeidIUMWqoUeHhyxeSycV-e_eE
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
[MENTION=4500270]arpitkh96[/MENTION] is working on bitmap caching in memory. He'll handle this bug...
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
Disabling xposed did not solve the problem. Also when disabling TSB completely for Amaze File Manager, I get the same translucent statusbar even for the settings area.

When I disable TSB for the service com.amaze.filemanager.activities.MainActivity, the translucent statusbar again appears. But when I navigate to settings, the statusbar will match the colour theme (as described before). When now going back to the folder view, the statusbar matches the colour of the theme. Now I am really confused :confused: I will investigate a little bit further, maybe I just have to find the correct settings.

Additional information about my device: I am currently running Carbon ROM on my LG L90 (D405).
[Android Apps and Games] Netuser:
And what is your reason of using TSB outdated module when there is updated module flat style colored bars which work with any app including amaze file manager
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
Quite simple: because with FSCB my phone keeps crashing and randomly rebooting.

Furthermore, there is no improvement for AFM while using FSCB, same translucent statusbar.
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
In any case, I don't think this is due to problem in our code, and I don't think we can do anything to fix this problem. I guess you have to find any other way out yourself because I don't use xposed and I don't have much idea about it...
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
Yeah, this problem seems not being related to TSB or FSCB, maybe it is related to my ROM. Nevertheless, thank you for your responses :)

can you please add TAB functionality as it's more user friendly
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
Tab functionality is already there. Make a new tab from floating action button and manage them from spinner in action bar.
[Android Apps and Games] pblasi:
Amazing app!

Please add cloud support (drive, dropbox...)
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
Will be done in upcoming updates...
[Android Apps and Games] aki_007:
I was saying about side by side tab style as it makes more comfortable to manually add zip archives files to system

Super app. Danke
[Android Apps and Games] arpitkh96:
i will try to fix this in next update.its not a file..it means that you are not allowed to open that directory

Can't wait for sftp support... And it will be definitely be the best file manager out there! A dual panel like solid Explorer (swipe to chsnge) would be good too but the actual method is usable too :)

ZipViewer is in the upcoming update.

Edit - Update is delayed due to our exams...
[Android Apps and Games] Oblox:
Love the file manager but I have experienced some odd behaviour.

1) When using the cut option for moving images from internal SD DCIM/Camera folder the SD card it just gives an error and sometimes crashes. Using copy works fine.

2) It seems to have some issues on the root explorer side in that sometimes with the box ticked it wont show root explorer (when permission granted) so I have to untick it to then get root explorer to work.

Keep up the great work as I love it as a file manager.
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
Point 1 has already been fixed by [MENTION=4500270]arpitkh96[/MENTION]

I didn't actually get your point 2.
[Android Apps and Games] Oblox:
To grant root explorer i tick the box in settings.

I then give it permission.

I then go to navigate to root access only folders and it doesnt let me until I untick the tick box.
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
You mean you need to untick and tick it again to navigate to root access folders?
[Android Apps and Games] Oblox:
No i mean after the initial tick where I grant root permission it doesnt work so i then have to untick it and it works unticked.
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
OK I'll look into it.
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
Update pushed to play store

No further development for 2 weeks due to our exams.

Couldn't finish zipViewer in time, hope you guys won't mind

Sorry to bother, you can fix it later.

Good luck with your exams :)
[Android Apps and Games] vishal007:
Yeah, give me a log cat, after that wipe data of the app, that should fix this.
[Android Apps and Games] Komekokos:
App is really nice, now I can copy or cut and paste from internal storage to SD Card, working perfectly...

... but I found a fix, crash when I delete a picture, isn't deleted well from the gallery and I have to reboot the smartphone to the file is completely deleted.

The rest working ok, but I don't understand why need network permissions
