What is Reddit's opinion of X-plore File Manager?

Download X-Plorer directly on Mi Box (no sideloading required)
Start it
Navigate to "WiFi Server" on the right panel and enable it
On your PC, in a browser window type the address and port that's displayed in X-Plorer

That's the simplest for PC access: you download directly from the box, or upload directly from PC, no intermediate steps required.

However it also supports Cloud Storage services like Dropbox and Gdrive if you already have files there

X-plore represent! Seriously, it is SO good. FTP sharing, Wifi sharing, root access, inbuilt viewers, dual pane tree-like structure view. It has literally everything you can ask for. Lonelycatgames FTW.

ES File Explorer is crap.I installed X-plore and it works really well transferring stuff from drives

X-plore File Manager

Old school split screen saves me lots of time when constantly transferring files to different locations. It may look ugly as shit compared to others but the features are top notch.

I had the exact same problem as you, and I've tried various SSH servers on Android and it all didn't work because apparently my rooted Android tablet shuts down servers running in background when it goes sleeping. So what I went with instead was the reverse solution: Install X-plore File Manager on your phone and mount SSH directory on your PC, then use it to transfer files. Works perfectly for me and doesn't require any additional actions (SSH server on my PC is always running).

Have you guys tried X-plore File Manager? Very stable lots of features.

Joey for Reddit it is 100% free and works great!

There are a lot of file explorers and I'm not here to say any one in particular is the best, but I'm quite fond of X-plore File Manager. It has opening and collapsing folders quite like the side bar on windows explorer and dual panes for easy file reorganising.

This has worked better for me than ES File Explorer:

X-plore File Manager

Also has DropBox, Google Drive and OneDrive support.

About 2 weeks ago I tried X-plore File Manager and I love it. I uninstalled the crappy ES. After using ES for months, this feels so natural and easy.

I will try Solid Explorer when it eventually comes out but for now I'm happy.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

I use X-plore.

I usually like good looking apps, and neat animations, but what I like more is when an app is small, efficient, and does a lot of things (well) at the same time.

I don't know what features other file managers offer currently, since I use X-plore exclusively since a few years. But X-plore has everything I need.

Solid has always been my favorite but unfortunately it's lagging a bit in implementing the workaround other file managers have used. MiXplorer can handle it, as can X-Plore. You can also use the built-in Files app.

I've used them all. Also used to use ES File Explorer before they were bought out and went malware. I much prefer X-Plore File Manager. Two pane, great dark theme, built in previews for media, can be used fully with Android TV remote, plus many more features. It has awesome connectivity options, I use it most often to connect/explore Windows shared folders.

X-plore is beyond awesome. Been using it for years now and ironically enough have avoided using ES despite a lot of the recognition it gets among the Android community and developers. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

I have Solid Explorer installed like many others have suggested as well; however, I find X-plore to be my go-to. It's not the flashiest app, but it's free (with some IAPs), has a lot of functionality and works well.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en_US

It is, in my personal (and honest) opinion one of the best file managers. I've been using it for 5.5 years and cannot see myself moving to another one ever.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

https://www.howtogeek.com/280763/how-to-sideload-apps-on-android-tv/

But don't use ES File Explorer mentioned in that article. It developed a bad rep over the years. Use X-plore instead (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en_US).

Both MiXplorer and X-plore File Manager [both are free] will allow you to do that.

I don't believe there is a direct way of doing this in Android if the app you desire hasn't specified it under "Open by default / Supported links". Perhaps there is a way using the Tasker app.

however ...

Both MiXplorer and X-plore File Manager [both are free] will allow you to do that.

For example when clicking on an .opml file:

MiXplorer:

Open with dialogue box lists suitable programs

OR click OPEN AS which brings up the following dialogue box:

/////////////////////////

Open as

Text

Image

Audio

Video

OPEN WITH

/////////////////////////

If you click on OPEN WITH it will list all your apps to choose from even if they don't make any sense.

You can select REMEMBER to make the association permanent.

X-plore

will bring up the following dialogue box:

/////////////////////////

Open as

Text

Image

Video

Audio

"/"

/////////////////////////

If you click on "/" it will list all your apps to choose from even if they don't make any sense.

You can select ALWAYS or JUST ONCE

If its gone from the play store and you still have your 2xl then use Xplore to copy the game (copy creates an apk) and then run the apk on your 3xl to install it

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en_GB

If the game needs any files in the Android\obb directory then you will need to manually copy these over.

I had to do this when they deleted some games I had on my Shield TV

X-Plore File Manager + VLC. It's not pretty but it works reliably with no skipping, stuttering, etc.

I've tried MiXPlorer, ES, Solid, etc and X-Plore's been the only one that works every time.

Looking at the wiki there should be a regular ol' file on your device somewhere. Easiest way to check is to download a file explorer app (personally I use X-plore but there are many many options). Search for stardew and you'll end up in something like /sdcard/Android/obb/com.chucklefish.stardewvalley.

Not sure where to go from there since I've never had this game on mobile but accessing the folder, you should at least see a save file somewhere.

I installed X-PLORER app and then in the LAN added my server and then dumped a folder on their full of backgrounds and copied them over.

Nobody mentioned X-Plore file manager. It turns your tablet into file server, which you can access from PC. App is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore I payed $5 for Pro version, it worth every penny.

I highly recommend X-plore File Manager.

I have it on both my S20 and my Tab S7 and it's great for file management.

Even if apps default to saving downloads to the default Download folder, with X-plore File Manager you can quickly move them to your preferred folder(s) on either the internal storage or your microSD card.

X-plore has a dual-pane view so we can see both your Internal storage and microSD card at the same time for Move/Copy operations.

You can also see your home network's ("LAN") devices such as a NAS to easily move content between your S10 and your (soon to arrive) Tab S7.

Besides on-device Storage and LAN devices, you can also access your Cloud storage such as Google Drive, OneDrive, DropBox and similar services.

I'd recommend giving it a try even now on your S10 for some housekeeping until your Tab S7.

Hope it helps. You're going to love your Tab S7. 😏

Here's what I did:

Upload the APK to Google Drive. Download X-Plore. On the Shield, go into Settings > Device Preferences > Security > Install from unknown sources > make sure X-Plore is selected.

Go back to X-Plore and find the APK hooked in through Google Drive and click on it and it will install.

First read up on it - https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/205430/what-is-storage-emulated-0

If you can't access it, whichever app you are using might need storage permissions to see the contents. For file browsing/management I use X-plore File Manager.

just rename "apk" to "zip" and anything can extract it.

I use X-Plore file manager https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

Which has a function to export an installed app to apk, and it's also the best damn file manager on android haha

When connected open window explorer it should be listed there by your phones name. Mine shows as Moto6. Won't work, give Xplorer a try; I find it very useful Link

I've used it since the days of Symbian s60. Always was and still is the best. Even after using (and paying for) Solid and also giving Mixplorer a good long try.

X-plore is just simple, has everything you need and is free.

You'll probably have to get a 3rd party file-management app that lets you use 'Photos' share function, but then only copies the file to anothr folder on your phone.

The one I use is here -- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en_US

I can copy anything to any folder I want with that.

I can't use any other file manager after getting used to old school split screen. Highly recommended if you are constantly moving files around. Don't let the ugly UI fool you. It looks good in dark mode.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

you'd need a file manager that provides an option to make a shortuct to a file. Xplore has that, maybe others do too.

after having that, set the touch action to open shortcut and select the file manager shortcut.

My pleasure - for your info both MiXplorer and X-plore File Manager stable versions now handle one drive properly.

>I'll have to copy it onto a USB to view it

I use X-plore on my MiBox. It has a native AndroidTV version, so you can install it from the store directly on the box. Once launched, navigate to "WiFi Server" option, and turn that on. Note the IP:port. Enter that on your laptop/desktop browser of choice, you now you can navigate, view, download, upload, and even modify the files on your AndroidTV right from your PC

I use X-plore from Google Play. You can install it directly on any Android Box that has Google Play Store. There is a native AndroidTV version too on the store (for MiBox, Shield, etc)

In the app, which is a file manager, start the "Wifi Server". It will tell you the address to connect to.

On your PC on the same network, open the browser and connect to that address. You can now upload files to the box, or download logs.

There are many other file managers with remote server capabilities. I use this one cause it was the first to offer native AndroidTV support

I bought Solid Explorer before but currently use X-Plore, which is, IMHO, the best file manager out there. With tons of features, I really love it. You can even start a wifi server so that you can drop files on the /sdcard using http address (like http://your_device_ip:1111) and you don't need to connect the device to the PC to transfer files or use wifi adb.

If you donate 3 or more beers (about $4.05), all the advanced features are enabled in X-Plore. Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en_US

Salut. Nu știm despre ce telefon, ce sistem de operare e vorba. O să presupun mai jos că Android...

Indiferent de telefon există varianta "scos card, băgat în card reader, făcut treaba pe calculator".
Dacă e Android, instalează X-plore și încearcă să ștergi direct din telefon

Just use X-plore. A great file explorer BTW. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

It has App Manager. You can use it to easily extract apks and also use it to transfer them to shield device. When you start it on Shield device it will verify your license.

The two best ways to access the file system is either through the X-Plore app (far superior to ES File IMO) or via FTP . This is the best FTP method - http://nvidiashieldzone.com/index.php/shield-android-tv/tutorial-ftp-server-on-shield-android-tv/

If you keep everything on the NAS/FIle server, then you can setup the FTP on that and move directly. I have that with my Synology to the Shield.

My go-to lan transfer app is x-plorer. Only works from the phone but it can connect to any shared drive on any pc and copy as many files either way as you select.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

I prefer X-plore to Cabinet, as it supports network file stores and ssh in-app, also it's free (like Cabinet)... The UI needs some work though.

It is a huge issue which many people have voiced their concern to beamdog about. At the very least they need to add an import/export function for saves or even better move the user data somewhere user accessible if they are concerned about security.

I have found a workaround for systems with android 12 which is more friendly than the method you mentioned which requires uninstall. The app called X-plore has the permission request necessary to access the Android/data directory, I highly recommend it for this purpose.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

You can just install, smarttubenext instead.

you need to download the .apk from the website & load it onto the TV to install, after downloading the .apk, save it to your Gdrive. Get[ Xplore file manager] & login to Gdrive & then install. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore)

There are Android apps that can run a local web server for file transfer. In the chromebook you would go to the IP URL shown in the app to access the files. You only need to have the phone and the Chromebook on the same WiFi network.

I personally have used ‘X-plore’. But there are others.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

X-Plore is very popular and also good to use with a remote.

The free version has probably enough features but they recently added some ads to it. If that bothers you, you can simply download a slightly older version from apkmirror.com and sideload that instead.

Preferiram koristiti SSH File Transfer kad god je moguće, ali koristim i druge opcije u zavisnosti od toga šta i gdje hoću kopirati.

Nekad je najjednostavnije otvoriti novi tab u browseru i skinuti/uploadovati/urediti neke fajlove na lokalnom serveru. Ovaj filebrowser mi je baš simpatična stvarčica, a veoma je jednostavno instalirati ga na server.

A kada trebam šta sa mobitela onda koristim X-plore. Jednostavno jednim dodirom pokrenem FTP ili HTTP server i onda lagano premještam šta hoću.

You can transfer your worlds but if you have android 11 or higher you can't access the app data folder without a specific app like this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

Try "x-plore file manager" I have tried it out and it works. Just make sure you give it the required permissions.

This is it, available in Google play

That is because scoped storage that was introduced in Android 11

You can use X-plore File Manager if you want to access data and obb folders. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

Use X-plore. It will tell you how to access the folder.

The download link is https://bun.filedit.ch/RkxDmUOLRuknArmzrHhP.zip

Use the https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en&gl=US to copy com.activision... folder from sdcard0 (internal memory)/Android/data. Since files are too many and you will have notable latency, you will have to compress the file and uncompress it from your phone. WinRar is much more simpler than Xplorer but it cant access the Android/data or Android/obb folders.

Do you have an android? If so install something that can backup apps. I use X-plore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en&gl=US
Then it's as simple as getting that APK over to the shield. Note that I've never used mcafee on anything but a computer so I just want to inform you that the chances are that it wont work because of android tv vs regular android differences.

comme /u/rizpoutine l'a mentionné, si tu cherches à downloader les épisodes de téléquébec, utilise yt-dlp car il est capable de downloader du site de téléquébec.

Donc tu as les épisodes sur ton ordi.

Le step 2 (copier de ton ordi à ta tablette samsung) peut se faire de plusieurs façons:

Créer un share samba sur ton ordinateur et l'utiliser via un app android style X-plore File
Installer sur ta tablette un server ssh comme SSH Helper et copier les fichiers de ton ordi vers ta tablette en utilisant un client SSH

I'm counting on you, I've searched the internet can't find it. You can copy the app You've installed using X-plore File Manager. TIA.

Okay, i think this should work, as the repo is offline i did not get so far that i can install venom the usual way, and test this. But i found a way to access the files that should work

Start by downloading the file explorer "x-plore filemanager"

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

in xplore go to config(All the choises in the middle menu) and enable show hidden files, then navigate to something like

"Storage/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/addons" here you can find the folders for the myaccounts and venom plugins, you need to change the trakt and tmdb apis on both these plugins to get it back up and running

for venom its something like this (Ony guessing based on windows experice)

"/plugin.video.venom/resources/lib/modules/trakt.py" line 24 and 25

"/plugin.video.venom/resources/lib/indexers/tmdb.py" line 26

for the myaccounts plugin it should be something like this

"/script.module.myaccounts/lib/myaccounts/modules/tmdb.py" line 12

"/script.module.myaccounts/lib/myaccounts/modules/trakt.py" line 16 and 17

And after that i should be working.

Hope to hear back from you so we know if its a good way to fix it on android tv or not =)

Use a file manger like X-Plore to navigate to the files and copy them to a USB stock, or FTP in and copy them https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

As per u/pudgyplacater, choose to store all metadata with the media, makes moving it all much easier.

FYI, Collections data is not part of the backup, so copy that manually.

You need just to delete everything in ...

/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.spotify.music/files/spotifycache/Storage

I've bookmarked it for myself in my X-plore File Manager Android app.

PS: on one of my Android devices with severe storage problems I use AppMgr III (App 2 SD) purely for bulk cache management.

/r/novavideoplayer is my favorite Android TV player

X-Plore is the easiest way to send files to your box or manage files on it.

Any respected file browser will open the zip container, or get rar for Android if your fb doesn't know how to do this.

Personally i use Xplore but you could just use Rar or any other that handles containers. .zip is just a container.. likewise a packed closed folder

This is most certainly a common feature, but whether the OEM File Explorer application can or not is obviously subjective to the OEM/carrier. Personally, I've used X-plore for many years now, but it's not hard to find similar ones.

X-plore file manager. The interface looks quite outdated and my family and friends get frustrated by the layout. But once you get to know how to operate it, it's THE most feature packed file manager for android out there. It has batch rename, dual pane view, vault, recycle bin, wifi sharing, app manager, compression, decompression of zip, rar, 7z (some managers can only decompress .zip), support for some of the biggest cloud storage services (gdrive, dropbox, mega, etc.), and many more features.

the app i use is x-plore file manager

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

you'll need to install the apk on your quest with sidequest. once you've done that, you'll be able to open the app on your headset and turn on the wifi file sharing. it'll give you the IP address you need to type into your browser on your phone or computer. then you just navigate through the folders to find what files you want to transfer.

X-plore File Manager

It's not pretty but it's damn comprehensive. Great for when you need to organize lots of files from many different directories and clouds. It's not afraid to stuff as much info into the screen as possible, more like a windows explorer than any android explorer I've used.

Found a workaround. Using the sideloaded xplore file manager from the shield I can access network drives on the LAN. So create a drive to download from on your PC and copy from it on the shield to the connected USB drive.

Out of subject, but did you ever try X-plore File manager ? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

I have a Nvidia Shield and with all the files managers i tried I think it s the best. What was your needs to focus on FX ?

I use X-plore File Manager in the tv box and in mi cell phone, it has a wifi sharing file service that gives you an ip address with te port, so you can use an web browser to upload files to it, it works fine, I just upload a video from my wedding to an USB attached to my tv box (Xiaomy My box S) from my laptop without any problems, even my son was watchin other thing in Disney + without lag meanwhile the file was uploading. You can keep it allways on, read only, password protected and other features, I have payed the app, but its whort it.

I use a file manager called x-plore which has a good few network based options I don't use and it has an open with option and usually appears in my share options.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

You need root access and a file explorer for this. I use X-plore but others should work too:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=pt_BR&gl=US

On Android 10 and earlier the path is Root/storage/emulated/0 and /10 (where 0 is the mainland and 10 is the island). Just select the file, copy to clipboard and paste using X-plore.

On Android 11 the path is Root/data/media/0 or 10.

If you don't have root you can install Google Drive inside island and save the files there.

I like Xplore a lot. You can transfer files over your network from a browser as well as access cloud storage: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en\_US&gl=US

/dev/block/ is the mounting points for partitions in android phones, it is a bit worrying actually that any app is even making reference to that, they should have no business at all to concern them there.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

I'm not saying it's malicious but use this app to find the creation date of the files, also copy their exact full names into a google search. chances are you won't be the first to have asked. if you're not you'll get better answers quicker.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

this app can both enter into Android folders once you grant permission and also open apk files as zip if selected.

Bios should be inside "/storage/emulated/0/RetroArch/system" folder on Shield TV. Use X-plore file manager app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore) to copy required bios files (https://docs.libretro.com/library/beetle_psx_hw/#bios) from USB stick, cloud drive, or SMB share on PC.

Thanks u/Pirate2012 and u/BppnfvbanyOnxre

I guess I will have to try both of your suggestions and see which applies best to my use case.

I forgot to mention that I set my current NAS to sleep during the nighttime to save on electricity. I hope I can do that too on the Synology 220+ and waking up the NAS doesn't mean re-mounting folders with encryption keys.

A follow up question is with keys and permissions, I'm not sure how my current apps will react to this. Previously, when I share and assign permissions to folders, all I have to do on apps is provide the user name and password and I can access the files. Now with encryption keys in the mix, how will that work on the apps?

One example of an app I use on my Android phone is X-plore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en&gl=US Which reminds me... This app connects to my NAS shared folders using SMB. Does encryption and SMB work in tandem or they're totally different and unrelated?

Thanks again!

You need a different app because of stupid google and something called scoped storage. What this means is that every app stores its data in data folder and its purposefully inaccessible without one of these workarounds:

Hookup to pc
termux app
Any file explorer targeting android 10 to bypass silly google.

Here is the best file explorer to download currently: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en\_US&gl=US

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

this is what I use, the option for Wi-Fi sharing, it's limited at first but enough to move single files.

In my Verizon voicemail app there's a Save button along with the Play and Delete buttons, that drops an AMR-NB encoded file into /sdcard/VVM3/archive/files/ though the metadata (when rcvd & caller info) is in the /sdcard/VVM3/archive/externalvvm.db which is a database (that X-plore can display. Saving has the effect of deleting it from Verizon's voicemail service.

new rules from google and updated versions of whatsapp mean photos and media are stored inside the Android folder in internal storage. that's regarded as a system folder and isn't included in the gallery.

you can get a good file manager and periodically go into the Android folder and copy your photos somewhere else. there are also apps that can be programmed to copy files over for you at regular intervals, I don't know if they've been updated enough to even get into the Android folder with it's new restrictions (hence me stressing a good file manager).

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

this app can get into the Android folder once it's given permission by you to do so.

idk. I use VLC player with my music files (which are on SD). I'm also very lazy and don't tend to make awesome playlists. I tend to just run album (s), but even then that's a playlist. I really should use playlists, better than removing or skipping version songs from new album dump playlists.

I know VLC probably isn't the best music player, I have it more for video.

I use X-plore as my file manager app, so you can use it make sure whether the files are where you expect them to be. You should be able to confirm the music in your Music folder that way and whether its just the playlist being buggy or of it's doing wise and removing songs.

Thanks to double checking for you, I learned the X1 III came with mysterious Be Moved flac & Akira Inoue Total Immersion 360 m4a demo files up in my music folder.

Are you on Android 11? You need to download an app that can bypass the scoped storage feature and give it permission to access that folder. This is the one I use on a Samsung tablet with that problem. It's a bit messy to browse with but it works.

I've simply been using X-plore File Manager since my very first Android phone way back that was on Android Gingerbread (Android version 2.3.6). I like its two-panel layout that not many other file managers have.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore is good (scanner) but CX too

did you check if SMBv2 (which i had to install at a certain point on my Win7) is really working (with another device)

As far as I know, almost any of the dozens of file explorers should work. I use X-plore, but I used to use Cx File Explorer, which looks slightly less cluttered. It did tend to glitch out though.

A fix was posted earlier on one of the discords. I only did the first half (on x-plore manager) and it's already working for me. Credit: Olivia

Heya Sebastian, could you give this a try?

Download X-plore File Manager. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

Navigate to /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftDYHM/ and delete all subfiles and subfolders.

Download ProtonVPN and connect to the free server in Japan. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.protonvpn.android

Open DMK and check if there are new types of Ads available to watch.

You know the ID of your new SD? If you don't know just install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

Or fx explorer, you should be able to see sd name, then just change the name of the sd card in config files of the emu you want to give it access to the sd card

try using X-plore File Manager to transfer data via FTP, I often use it when I'm lazy to turn on the PC. If your Android supports OTG, it is better to use it for faster data transfer.

I assume you use some kind of ftp-server on your phone.
Probably just need an sd card write permission enabled for that specific app.

If nothin works, this is my favorite for "browse my files wireless"

X-plore
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=hu&gl=US

It has "Wifi share" dasically u can browse your phone internal/external from any web browser.

Its start a web based file manager, what u can open from any computer.

Dont have to buy it to try. But the free version has some limitation in how deep you can look/make folders.
For pro u had to made in app "donation".
I buy it a year ago "For one time payment 3 beers you get all functions on all your devices."

I can't believe nobody mentioned X-Plore File Manager which has very nice UX, especially with that dual-pane system which makes copying/transfering files around more convenient.

Can you try using Settings > Storage > Files and choose Files, not Files by Google?

There are a few file managers that work better with Android 11. We've heard that https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore
works with Android/data.

If you use a file manager, like X-plore (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en_US&gl=US), these bios files should be put inside "/storage/emulated/0/RetroArch/system".

I believe X-Plore File Manager is able read xlog files. Just grant all permissions needed, and in settings choose "show hidden files." Don't be surprised if files take a while to open since they're massive. You'll likely have to search for what a lot of the logs mean, but there are some basics in app-logs that refer to recording microphone audio, using phone camera, and from there it's easy to see when logs show transmission of this data to a webhost. I learned to read enough in logs to discern malicious activity when my iPad had a RAT (remote access Trojan) installed thanks to an iOS security exploit caused by one of many careless OS updates Apple pushed out, long before anyone even believed Apple Devices could be hacked lol.

If WeChat is storing data in root however, you won't be able to read it without rooting. You can tell if you try to expand the folder to access the files inside, but no files populate. If that's the case, you may need to backup and factory reset your device after uninstalling WeChat in order to completely remove it from your device. These apps don't need a "backdoor" when the front door works just fine. They can transmit encrypted data about you via tracking domains pretending to be serving you ads or reporting bugs/crashes, or even via the primary domain for WeChat. See my other post in the main thread where I recommended using Blokada as a firewall to stop WeChat from phoning-home of all the data it's collecting on you.

I recommend the X-plore File Manager - it has an option for creating password-protected vault to store risky/sensitive data.

what's the best - that vault is indeed an password-protected zip archive, so you can move it freely to desktop if you want and if anybody gets to "work on your phone" there are no files hidden somewhere that could be copied. sure, one could try to hack into the archive if found, but I guess every protection is just a matter of time.

As said below create a file nominated .nomedia using a good featured File Manager

I recommend this file manager it has plus function called Vault that simply zip with password

X-plore File Manager

Short Explanation from their docs

> The Vault is a way to store your sensitive files stored securely in encrypted place. The place is a folder on your device’s mass memory, specifically it’s folder named .X-plore vault in root of Internal storage. > > X-plore creates special entry named Vault in top-level list of available locations, and all your encrypted files will be accessible from there.

I've been using X-Plore file manager for several years and it works great for what I need to do...plus it is in the app store, no need to sideload.

I'm using X-Plore File Manager to backup the files, it have support for split apk (backup and restore/install), these I would have to manually rename.

My main goal with this task would be to rename the apk files, for example, listing the apk files inside the "APK" folder of my internal storage and renaming all with the rule "app name+package name+version+extension", and customizing this rules, changing how many of then, different name separators, etc.

To be really honestly, I'm trying to replicate this app, it works great but it's old and if possible with Tasker would be much better to have one less installed app, plus being able to change/update it. I remember asking for help with the same thing over a year ago with my old account, since then I can't give up with the idea lol

If it's un available in your country you could side load it . Find the android tv version on apk mirror. Download a file explorer like x-plore. Put the apk file on a flash drive and open the file manager. open your flashdrive and open the apk file. Give the file manager any permissions it needs and click install.

I don't know what exactly you're looking for but I think this app can help you https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore I've just tested transfers between clouds that I already have access.

PS It supports a good amount cloud storage services access inapp

I've been using X-Plore File Manager for pretty much as long as I've been using Android (I switched from Symbian late), but don't see it mentioned here. Do any of these recommended alternatives have any practical advantages over it (ignoring the aesthetics, which I really don't care about)?

Hey Sorry youre having trouble. It can be a pita on Android. I can’t remember how up to date the help menu is but do this.

Email it to yourself and then follow these instructions:

To load the file: On iOS: click the file in the email, click the arrow looking thing top right, in the context menu that pops up click "copy to GAMEYE" On Android: click the file, say "open in GAMEYE"

If you are on Samsung, Xiamo or just having problems in general, you have to do some bullshit:

Download Xplore app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en_US Go to android settings - app settings - gameye - click storage option. Do the same if there is one for Xplore Download the file from the email Navigate to file in Xplore app, click to open, open in GAMEYE

The storage options are really important if youre having to use the samsung method. Lemme know

Saw a file explorer mentioned by Charlee. Downloaded it and it's awesome.

If you're looking for a good explorer app this one is really good. xplore

I don't think you can even get it off the play store anymore. Switch over to X-plore File Manager, it's better anyways. The developer of X-plore has been around forever , building Symbian apps before Android. X-Plore supports everything under the sun and the two pane paradigm makes it much easier to copy/move between folders.

Download backup first. Run it with only the top selection (user apps). Restart Kodi. Enable all of the new plugins. This gives you the repo for PlexKodiConnect, get that. Let that scan. Run backup again and restore everything OP says. Restart Kodi. Go into the options of PlexKodiConnect,Change skin to modded one. Cross fingers.

Save Remote path to this (SD card/download/Backup) in Backup settings.

x-plore file manager is my favorite

Nothing beats X-Plore for me.

Xplore is probably the best option: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

I wouldn't call it super user friendly, but it works.

I've been using X-Plore file manager since Symbian. The UI is just unbeatable for me.

I like x-plore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

I'll list some of my favorites.

X-plore File Manager - great file manager that I've been using on Symbian and pretty much every single one of my Android devices since 2010 afterwards. Packed with features (some require a donation), never had ads in it and still gets regular updates.

Hacker's Keyboard - it may not have the best UI or a list of features, but when you need an onscreen keyboard that has all of the same keys as the full fledged physical keyboard it saves you in a pinch.

ZArchiver - lightweight and fast archive manager.

Neutron Music Player - the most recent addition to my favorite apps. Unrivaled audiophile quality music player for Android in my opinion. Best used if you have a smartphone with a dedicated DAC or an external one. Free version has all of the same features, but is limited to 5 days trial.

May I suggest X-plore?

Tips for new CB, but otherwise experienced user?

smb access to NAS or other drives is important and the google-supplied one does not actually work. But this one does. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/file-system-for-windows/mfhnnfciefdpolbelmfkpmhhmlkehbdf?hl=en . after installing it: in chromeos - files app you can then at the right top click the three dots. add service. fill out parameters and done. It can be persistent so stay available in chromeOS.
Onlyoffice. Both in the browser and in Crostini it runs well and offers best docx compatibility. Must have app for those times you are part of a chain of docx-senders. It can also convert epub to docx. (see personal.onlyoffice.com and you can search reddit to find out how to install it in crostini, it's easy).
Krusader in crostini: can synchronize over smb and can synchronize to webdavs. Not as good as total commander, but close. Total Commander in Android is good too. So is x-plore file manager https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore
Keep is your friend. the grab to text for handwriting and works anywhere approach easily compensate for the fact that some others have more features.
Most missed feature in ChromeOS is a two-panelled file-manager at OS-level. Complain about it. :-)
Personally, I like Linux best on my workstation. But Chrome on your workstation (win, mac or linux)+ Pixelbook and phone can work nicely together with the added android services. On my Linux desktop I prefer KDE-Connect which is brilliant.
Google-photos, drive, books and music work nicely together and sync well. Google-play-books has an option to sync your annotations to files in gdrive. If you use that your notes become searchable in gdrive. Brilliant. play-music is great: if you change a list on your laptop that is downloaded to your phone it will download/delete the changes to your phone as automatically: great for home managing your most-popular driving songs. google-photos is very convenient.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en_US

There have been issues with ES File Explorer on the Shield and I personally had problems with my Shield until I uninstalled it.

I moved to X-plore File Manager and have had no problems. (Total Commander is great, also. It's not on my Shield, but it's one of the first things I install on other Android devices.)

If a computer isn't handy, X-plore File Manager will access shared folders on your network so you can copy files to the Shield.

I love X-plore. It's a little dated in look and feel but makes connecting to PCs and cloud storage so easy.

X-Plore File Manager
I use it solely for streaming videos from cloud storage and wifi file transfer. The UI is ugly and generally awful but it's the most reliable app I've found for cloud streaming via the internal player or VLC, MX Player and the like.
SD MaidPro (rooted)
Hands down the best cleaning app. The file manager is lightweight, crisp and fast as well.
Boost For Reddit
The post, comment, link and media controls in Boost are a lot more intuitive to me than other apps.
QuickPic 4.5.2 by Q-Supreme Team
A re-signed version of QuickPic that doesn't phone home to the Play store. The one on XDA wasn't available for a while so I wound up with this. Works great.
Quick Reboot (rooted)
Numerous reboot options. Handy to have around.

X-plore File Manager 多機能で使いこなせないけど便利

X-plore File Manager

X-plore File Manager: Dual-pane view and free cloud[Dropbox, Google drive ...] amongst many features.

X-Plore File Manager's Disk Map

Looks like this

Unfortunately you must! Sadly it's now generally regarded as malware after being the top file manager for years.

X-Plore works great for the TV interface. Has a file sharing component.

There are some FTP instructions on the Shield forums here too.

You need to drill down into the settings and permissions these days to get write access and enable hidden files to be viewed but it's all fairly straight forward.

X-plore

Total Commander

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

Installed this one since it's the only other one I saw on the Android TV market, works decent enough and the UI isn't shit.

I was going to suggest xplorer, I install it on all my droids, very handy

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en_US&gl=US

Use this file manager, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore it have can show you large file and folder

Try X-plore. You can access FTP servers (client) and also host (server). It can also stream video and show pictures.

X-plore

It shows video length, fps frames and resolution

You have to jump through a few hoops since the app isn't officially available in the Google Play Store for Android TV yet, but it's honestly pretty trivial. I had the whole thing set up in about 15 minutes.

First, you need to download the official Xbox Game Pass app from an Android app mirror site. I downloaded this one (armeabi-v7a architecture): https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/microsoft-corporation/xbox-game-pass/xbox-game-pass-2009-270-925-release/

Then you need to install an app that allows you to manage files and sideload apps on an Android device. X-plore File Manager seems to be a pretty popular choice: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

You just copy the .apk file you downloaded in the first step to your Dropbox or Google Drive or whatever, and then install it via X-plore File Manager.

And finally, the last quirk is that the app won't show up in your Apps/Favorites section, so you need an app that lets you easily launch sideloaded apps. Sideload Launcher seems to be the most popular choice: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.tv.sideloadlauncher&hl=en_US&gl=US

Install Sideload Launcher and run it, and you'll see the Game Pass app right there, front and center. I added an old DualShock 4 I had laying around as a Bluetooth device to the Sony TV, and it worked perfectly right out of the box. The only remaining quirk I haven't solved yet is there doesn't appear to be an easy way to exit a cloud game using the DS4. So far, I've just used the TV remote to back out of games and/or go back to the home screen.

X-plore File Manager

X-Plore is the right answer.

Here is why IMHO: https://medium.com/@darkuni/quest-techie-wireless-file-access-from-your-phone-computer-dec807dd6631

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

will try X-plore FM first.

X-plore is the one I use daily, very simple but extremely powerful https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

Out of box, you can't write to USB drive attached to Mi Box as removable storage in Oreo. You can attach multiple drives with a USB hub (only one can be formatted as device storage). One thing you need to watch out is power consumption, especially with mechanical drives. I have two USB sticks (one formatted as device storage and another as removable storage for sharing media & apk files occasionally), a wired PS4 controller, and a USB key for wireless keyboard/mouse combo attached to a USB hub without its own power source.

But 3rd-party OTG driver supports limited write access to USB drives. I say "limited" because you can only write to USB drive in specific file managers, not in whatever apps you want. Here are a few apps with 3rd-part OTG drivers that I have tested on Mi Box. Look for "custom USB OTG driver" option in their settings. Once you enable it, next time when you attach a USB drive there will be a popup asking whether you want to mount it with that app (try to enable only one custom OTG driver a time).

X-plore (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en_US) : FAT32 (read/write), exFAT (read-only)
MiXplorer (https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.mixplorer) : FAT32 (read/write), exFAT (read/write), NTFS (read-only)
Microsoft exFAT/NTFS for USB by Paragon Software with Total Commander (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paragon.tcplugins_ntfs_ro&hl=en_US) : FAT32 (read/write), NTFS (read/write), exFAT is not supported on Android TV devices (they claim Microsoft didn't give them the license)

Finally, a word of caution, there's always the risk of data corruption when writing to a USB drive with 3rd-party OTG driver. So it's better not to use 3rd-party OTG driver on USB drive that carries very important data (unless they are already fully backed-up).

MiXplorer

X-plore File Manager

... amongst others.

I'd suggest XPlore. I got the recommendation here from a number of people. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en_US

I would suggest to try this before hand:

Recover from an app that refuses start- If you're rooted:First backup the app and data (if applicable, ensure that your max backup count is high enough so your new backup won't erase latest one) using a backup app (ex: Titanium Backup).Then backup your saves by copying /data/data/jp.co.hit_point.nekoatsume/files/savedata_system.sav elsewhere.If you have an older backup, uninstall game and restore an older version. If not, download an older version. Finally restore game save either via a backup app or by copying it back.- If you're not rooted:Either root your phone, or wait for the next update that will (hopefully) solve the problem.You can also try to backup your save file by using the save file copy method (might work on some phones). If you succed, simply uninstall the game, install older version (download available from this site) then copy back your backed up save file.- Anyway, DO NOT UNINSTALL APP, or you will lose all your progress.

I made a copy of this at https://neko.servbox.eu/howto.php for archive.

Concerning the API cheat:

Rooted Android device method:

Use your favorite file explorer that support root (example: X-plore File Manager)
Go to /system/etc/
Edit the file "hosts" adding the following line:35.196.202.37 hpmobile.jp
Restart Neko Atsume
Go to daily password prompt
Enter "neko"
You should be awarded 999999999 gold fishes and 999999999 silver fishes

You can do it again every day.If you wan to get back to non-cheat passwords, just delete the added line in hosts file.

You can also make your own server to reply to API requests (you should then use your own IP in hosts file).The page must return data in this format:1,password,silver fish count,gold fish count,today's date,Example:1,neko,999999999,999999999,2018-09-28,Page must be located at app/nekoatsume/neko_daily_en.php

I also made a copy of this at https://neko.servbox.eu/neko_api.php.

I may also be able to manually edit a save file to grant any number of fishes from start, so I could make a fresh game save file lot of fish for those who lost their save (this will probably need some work so don't expect this today :))

Tell me how you succeed or if you need more information on something (I did that quick, didn't had time to try it all).

this one? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en

I always go back to Xplore because of how it handles its dual pane view. Folders open in a tree view, copy/pasting is a breeze, it syncs to dropbox and I can even transfer files from my laptop using the LAN server. Oh and it's search is excellent,

It's not pretty, but for something like managing my files I go for function over form. Tried Cabinet, ES file manager and a few others, still haven't replaced this.

Edit: Also good for seeing which files are taking up your space, Disk Usage (has a very nice visual representation) and SD Maid (clears junk/empty folders and cache).

It looks cool but I'm so used to using X-Plore that anything else feels like too much work.

SSH allows you to not only remote "shell" to your Steam Deck from another device, but allows you to transfer files to and from your Deck with your PC, phone or any other device with a SFTP capable client.

In less than 3 minutes, you can be set up and ready to move your emulation bios, roms and even full blown Steam games from your PC to your Steam Deck. No sneaker-net files using a flash drive ... no Ext4 format incompatibilities. Just a quick and easy way to integrate your Steam Deck with your file management system.

Note: You don't have to reboot; just use START instead of ENABLE. Just know START is per session and if you reboot, it will shut off SSH.

Xplore

X-plore File Manager has this feature. It works with both local/external storage and cloud services.

(Click "⚙️ Show" on the main screen and then "⇆ File Sync")

Example Image | File Sync description

Try using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

try with "X-plorer file manager"

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

X-plore File Manager (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore) also works great with the WiFi sharing feature. Once enabled, you can access the phone with a file manager like interface with a web browser on another computer (like your desktop). You just surf to the right web address like http://192.168.0.100:1111/ or whatever it happens to be on your local network. There's really nothing more to figure out, and indeed, the correct web address to surf to will be stated on the phone. Good luck with the rescue effort!

It's not open source, but I can't use anything other than X-plore.

I'm not exactly sure on what you're trying to do, but since you say you're using a USB, I'm going to tell you how to transfer files without a USB, by using WiFi.

As an aside, YouTube Vanced for your Android will allow you to play YouTube while your phone is locked.

You can use a file manager on Android to transfer files from your desktop to your phone, via wifi, and yes this works via your phone's hotspot. Note that if you sign in to you desktop with an MS linked account it might not work, so you'd need to create another account on your desktop with no MS linking. I dunno why, but that was an issue I had.

First share a location on your desktop from where you'd like to transfer your files. You can share the whole HDD if you want, it's up to you.

Right click on the Folder/Drive you want to share, and click Properties
Click the Sharing tab
Click 'Advanced Sharing'
Check 'Share this folder'

The default access is read only for 'Everyone', so add your login.

Click 'Permissions'
Click 'Add'
Click 'Advanced'
Click 'Find now'
Scroll and find your logon, and double click
Click 'OK'
Check 'Full control'
Click 'OK' x 3, and 'Close'

Make sure you're connected to WiFi and check your desktop's IP address:

Press WinKey + R
Type "cmd" and hit Enter
type "ipconfig" and hit Enter
Write down the IPv4 address.

Also in your Network and Sharing Center advanced settings:

Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Centre\Advanced sharing settings

Make sure network discovery and file sharing are on for private networks. (Your home wifi/hotspot should be private).

Now on your Android install X-plore file manager

Open X-plore and add a server:

Tap "LAN"
Tap "Add server"
Tap "add server"
Enter the following details:

Label: whatever your desktop is called (I used exactly the same as my Device Name)
Server: your desktop's IP address
Path: leave blank
Username: your desktop login
password: the password for your desktop login
SMB v2: leave enabled
Domain: leave blank

Save the settings.

Now when you should have a server labelled with your desktop's name. Tap that server and it will expand to show you all folders/drives you have shared. Now you can copy files:

Tap the Blue arrow near the top right (this will take you to alternate view).
Select SD card or internal storage and navigate to where you want to copy files.
Click blue arrow near top left.
Select LAN, and navigate to where your files/folders are.
Use the grey check on the right to select multiple files/folders.
Click the 'copy' icon in the right menu bar.
A prompt will appear. Do not check move mode or it'll delete the files off your desktop after copying them.
Click OK.

You can obviously use this to copy anything either way.

Alternatively, you could set up a media server so you can stream to your phone, but I don't know how to do that.

Another option is to do it the other way around.

Use/sideload an app like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

Then just share a folder on you PC and use above app within WSA to access it, copy files, etc.

Regarding sideloading, here is a way to get play store in WSA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcTWiasYtaQ

I suggest you to use x-plore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

So I used x-plore file manager and selected it in the refresh rate app.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.bytearray.refreshrate

And it has fixed the frame stutter from my ripped YouTube videos when played directly through the app.

But when I set the app "Photo Gallery and Screensaver" to use the refresh rate app, it isn't activated when the shield starts the screensaver. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.furnaghan.android.photoscreensaver

Would anyone know a way around this limitation. I assume when Android starts the screensaver it isn't using the "Photo Gallery and Screensaver" app itself? Or the same method that refresh rate app uses to detect and change the frame rate.

Any help is appreciated.

I use X-Plore, try it

last but not least: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

I use this as my file manager

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

This is the one i have on my shield

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en&gl=US

X-plore, enable "Show hidden files" in settings, find thumbnail file, delete.

As explained in the link below Warden Detects Trackers & Loggers across whole device, Allows to disable all trackers/loggers (including system apps) and Advance profile based app de-bloater:

https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/app-5-0-warden-app-manager.4122227/

X-plore is a file explorer and needs root access to access and modify the system:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=pt_BR&gl=US

In the meantime you could try whether the free X-plore file manager Android app is an improvement for you.

U can actually do whatever changes you want with this

Use X-plore, no root needed.

Can you install X-plore? It's a file explorer on Android tv

X-Plore

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

Give a try X-plore File Manager

Install x-plore and have a look around

X-plore File Manager

Great app since the Symbian days. The list of features is impressive.

I've always used X-plore and have never had any complaints.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

Another well made one is X-plore file manager

You can even connect to cloud services.

I use x-plore which has support for network storage and a nice split pane view so you can have 2 different sources side by side https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

How about X-plore file manager? It has many features, including access to SMB servers.

"You don't have an app that can do this" mean you don't have file manager app installed.

Well... These the Xplore app seem to work just fine...( It works without root as well)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

You can transfer files from a SMB share on a PC or cloud drives (Box, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, etc.) to Android TV devices with X-plore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en_US

But I suggest getting a USB hub eventually as PSX/PSP/Dreamcast games can use a lot of space: https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidTV/comments/j406dd/working_usb_hub_for_the_new_chromecast_google_tv/

Here is a video for emulation test on device with similar Amlogic chip as the new Chromecast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0-aubrloW0

S905D3 in the new Chromecast is a variant of S905X3 with built-in tuner support.

Hi. This evening I was helping a family member who had the same issue. We wanted to restore from local backup instead of google drive, because the google drive backup was corrupt - or at least the chats were not coming back.

After several hours of cursing at WhatsApp's crappy documentation and half-working instructions spread over the internet, we finally managed to do it. Based on what you wrote you have clearly also searched a lot, and you _almost_ got all the steps right - assuming our method works for you as well.

Here's what we did, starting from very the beginning. Hope this helps someone.

Install a file management app. My favourite is X-plore file manager. Use it for steps 2-4.
Copy the latest /WhatsApp/Databases/msgstore-YYYY-MM-DD.1.db.crypt12 file to another folder, for example /Downloads
1. NOTE 1: check the modification date on the file. Any messages/photos you received since that date will be LOST.
2. NOTE 2: To be on the safe side, you should copy the entire Databases folder to another device. Just in case your phone dies in the next 30 minutes.
In /Downloads, rename the copied msgstore-YYYY-MM-DD.1.db.crypt12 to msgstore.db.crypt12
Copy msgstore.db.crypt12 back into /WhatsApp/Databases - make sure to Overwrite the existing file.
Open the Android Settings and navigate to "Apps and Notifications > Whatsapp". Uninstall Whatsapp. When it prompts to keep local data/files, do not check the box.
Open the Play Store and Install Whatsapp again. Do not open Whatsapp afterwards.
Go back to Android Settings > Apps & Notifications > Whatsapp. There is a submenu called "Permissions" or something. Open that and give Whatsapp all permissions in advance, this will allow it to read the local backup. Do not open Whatsapp afterwards.
Go to Android Settings > Accounts and locate your Google account. In the next step we'll remove it temporarily to prevent Whatsapp from checking Google Drive.
1. Note 1: Run all Backup/Synchronization jobs for your Google account.
2. Note 2: If you've setup your phone to confirm your Google logins, make sure you have a working phonenumber in your Security settings so that you can still receive security codes. (most likely Google already made you do this years ago, but now's the time to check)
In case you left the screen, go back to Android Settings > Accounts and open your Google account. Now remove it.
Open Whatsapp, confirm the user policy thing, activate your phone number. Now, it should ask to restore from Local Backup. Click Restore.
Right after restoring, WhatsApp will ask you to configure Google-Drive backup, and then forces you to login to a Google account before you can use Whatsapp. This is fine, we've already gotten what we wanted. Login to your Google account, confirm with the security code. Let it restore apps (yes they were still there, no it doesn't hurt)
Navigating back to Whatsapp we saw all chats were there, and it was also restoring some Photos from Google Drive.

I really like X-Plore File Manager. It just works for me visually.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en_US

it -or something like it- is integrated in X-plore -maybe it works with 10

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

X-plorer File Manager has a two pane view that makes browsing multiple folders and copy operations really easy, integrates with cloud services, SSH/SCP, and has a built in file sharing server with a web-based GUI. Also supports root operations if you have that.

Plus, it’s free with optional donation.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en_US

try this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1ThPS7GNbw

if you want to send files over the network I recommend X-Plore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

i love x-plore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

i use it on the phone and in dex too. is a little ugly maybe, but has all the functionality that i need, and the dual panel is a plus.

i'd suggest formatting that usb to be exfat or ntfs (depending on your device ) from a pc , and or try a different file explorer . i use and recommend x-plore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en_US

but more likely you have that usb formatted wrong

what android box are you using ?

Click download

But you need an account at nexus mods, also use XPLORE to extract the zip files

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

It's an explorer style file manager

I have the app x-plore file manager. If all your music albums are in a parent folder you can use this app to hide that folder and it will remove them from your gallery app. So far the music folders I have hidden still show up in my music playing apps.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

Edit: my music files still show up in third party music apps such as black player, but will be removed from LGs music player.

I've been using it since the days of Nokia symbian X-plore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

If not working I have RAR, used 1 time https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rarlab.rar

I use the free double-pane Android File manager: X-plore File Manager

(free Cloud Storage access: Google Drive, Dropbox etc.)

It also has a Disk Map view that I find very useful.

this is the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

u use the left side for u phone and the right side for u ps3 once ur conected

I use the free double-pane Android File manager: X-plore File Manager

It also has a Disk Map view that I find very useful.

Xplore File Manager lets you do that: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

Ok those are restore points. Here’s some instructions for both phone types!

To load the file: On iOS: click the file in the email, click the arrow looking thing top right, in the context menu that pops up click "copy to GAMEYE" On Android: click the file, say "open in GAMEYE"

If you are on Samsung, Xiamo or just having problems in general, you have to do some bullshit:

Download Xplore app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en_US Go to android settings - app settings - gameye - click storage option. Do the same if there is one for Xplore Download the file from the email Navigate to file in Xplore app, click to open, open in GAMEYE

It's included in this file explorer

X-plore has a "wifi share" function, and u can manage all your files via Browser from a PC. its like an online file explorer to your phone. it support drag&drop, and if u like it and buy the full version (3beer donation in app) u get the full function and u can create/manage every folder on your phone or the inserted SD-card.

In free version u can try it, only limitation, u only able to manage some folders and not all, but this is more than enough to try it if u like it or not.

After i tired is many apps, this was one the only that can handle internal and external storage too, so im just bought it. since there im not even plugged my phone into pc via usb cable

Problem solved: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

You need to sideload its APK: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/hulu/hulu-android-tv/hulu-android-tv-24e63646p3-6-266-release/hulu-for-android-tv-24e63646p3-6-266-android-apk-download/

Since Puffin TV doesn't allow download APK on Android TV anymore, you can download this APK to your phone and use a cloud drive as an intermediary to send it over to your box:

Install X-plore on both your phone and Mi Box S (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en_US).
Setup a "Web storage" in X-plore for your cloud drive (Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, etc.) on phone and Mi Box S.
Use X-plore to upload Hulu APK from your phone to this "Web storage", and then download it to Mi Box S.
Finally, sideload this APK with X-plore on Mi Box S.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

Get the app X-Plore.

You can make folders and place your files where you need to

And use VLC for playback.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.videolan.vlc

Good Luck.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

Install this file explorer from the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=es

(Is the best File Explorer and allows you connect to your phone or your computer using SMB, FTP, webdav, you even can explore your google drive, dropbox or any cloud storage)

Use this file explorer to access to any place where you can copy aptoide tv apk: https://tv.aptoide.com/ and install it.

Use Apptoide TV to install any APK you want.

(sorry for my english)

Here try these instructions

To load the file: On iOS: click the file in the email, click the arrow looking thing top right, in the context menu that pops up click "copy to GAMEYE"

On Android: click the file, say "open in GAMEYE"

If you are on Samsung, Xiamo or just having problems in general, you have to do some bullshit:

Do the same if there is one for Xplore Download the file from the email Navigate to file in Xplore app, click to open, open in GAMEYE

X-Plore File Manager can do it too. It can change name, extension, case of file name, move files to sub-folders and use various templates to build new file name. Not to mention a ton of other features. Still my favorite file manager for mobile platforms since 2008 (used it on my Nokia 7310 Supernova).

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore may be

You could use X-plore, it's a file manager that supports ftp and previews images.You can also click on the files and swipe through the images like a gallery app.It's the only file manager I use, hope you like it!

File manager app directly from phone through WiFi: x-plore.

Staggering to read most of people's stupid answers here.

Edit: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

I use X-plore and Google Drive (from within X-plore) to download files. That's free. There are other ways to download files as well in X-plore, some free, some paid. Wifi sharing, FTP, SSH, etc.

Edit: Here, you can read about the features in the app description: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en_US

Everything is possible but it's a long route you have to take.

First instal Xplorer (open it and give permissions) > Then when viewing the picture in whatsapp, choose options > share to > find an xplorer shortcut that says "copy to.." and copy it to any place on your storage.

Here try these instructions for now. Cloud sync coming with the website!

To load the file: On iOS: click the file in the email, click the arrow looking thing top right, in the context menu that pops up click "copy to GAMEYE" On Android: click the file, say "open in GAMEYE"

If you are on Samsung, Xiamo or just having problems in general, you have to do some bullshit:

Do the same if there is one for Xplore Download the file from the email Navigate to file in Xplore app, click to open, open in GAMEYE

It actually is in the Download folder but it's hidden in a way such that even if you use the "show hidden files" option it still won't show up. So what you need to do is download this file manager and then go to the downloads folder, you'll find the files and you can touch and hold to delete.

I had the same problem for over 2 months.

The sync from Files app up to Google Drive is broken - since Chrome 77 apparently - and causing the loop (with Background Pages process running, not completing and restarting - Only the sync from Google Drive down to Files app is working - the up sync is causing the problem)

So after reading this thread ...

Chromebook won't stop attempting to sync files.

... I chose not to do a Powerwash as some people were reporting that it only fixed the problem for a little while(then they had to do another Powerwash ..etc.)

EDIT: from the recommended answer ...

https://support.google.com/chromebook/thread/8298560?msgid=8298720

" ...

Once the Powerwash is done, please work around this issue by uploading files directly to drive.google.com.

¨

So I decided to save myself from going through the Powerwash and just disconnect my Google Drive until the bug is permanently fixed. (same practical end result for me as I can "view" drive.google.com directly in the browser or in the android app)

chrome://os-settings/files

Disconnect Google Drive account  

That stopped the endless syncing exasperating my cpu and bandwidth.

You can use ...

https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/my-drive

... directly to upload to it .  

PS

I actually use a free double-pane Android File manager: X-plore File Manager (free Cloud Storage access: Google Drive, Dropbox etc.) to manually keep files in sync.

I am also looking into installing the FolderSync android app to automatically one-way sync from my Chromebook Downloads folder up to Google Drive)

I use x-plore file manager

Some of these seem super shady, from looking at their pictures. Has anyone used X-plore? How does it compare to Solid?

I also save mine to Google Drive but open them with X-Plore. I also have the Aptoide Store installed and they have most of the apps I want anyway.

Some of this will already be in the help menu but itll be completely in the help menu in the next releases.

Here’s a copy paste

To load the file: On iOS: click the file in the email, click the arrow looking thing top right, in the context menu that pops up click "copy to GAMEYE" On Android: click the file, say "open in GAMEYE"

If you are on Samsung, Xiamo or just having problems in general, you have to do some bullshit:

Download Xplore app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en_US Go to android settings - app settings - gameye - click storage option. Do the same if there is one for Xplore Download the file from the email Navigate to file in Xplore app, click to open, open in GAMEYE

I have not - I use the free double-pane Android File manager: X-plore File Manager (free Cloud Storage access: Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive all work) to manually keep files in sync.

I had the same problem for over 2 months.

The sync from Files app up to Google Drive is broken - since Chrome 77 apparently - and causing the loop (with Background Pages process running, not completing and restarting - Only the sync from Google Drive down to Files app is working - the up sync is causing the problem)

I use X-Plore from the store and then dump the APK's into my Google drive and load them from there using X-Plore. I don't do this on a TV, but it should work no problem.

you'll need a file manager from the play store to access the usb. I use xplore file manager

Good thing many file managers like the one I use, X-plore, supports WiFi file transfers between devices.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

What i do is use X-plore on Phone , Filezilla on PC. and forget the cable

And setup basic FTP Connection. I do notice that some files cant be copied to and from the device. ex some Gcam Portrait Photos, you can only copy the processed one. even you copy the whole folder.

What i did at first was to copy all on SD Card or Flash Drive

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

chrome://os-settings/files

Disconnect Google Drive account

That will stop it. The sync from Files app up to Google Drive is broken and causing the loop (with Background Pages process running, not completing and restarting - Only the sync from Google Drive down to Files app is working.)

You are better off using ...

... directly.

PS

Upload to your Google Drive. Install something like X-Plore File Manager to access the files.

there is plenty of file manager apps on the shields Store . (its limited cause it only shows native android TV apps .

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en_US

Is what i recommend

Also if you just enable smbv1 in windows 10 , you can access though network from pc

This entire app is a feature in my favourite file manager: X-Plore

The file manager itself is extremely useful and powerful. I'm using it since the old Nokia Symbian days... ☺️

I use this

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

X-plore has worked well for me. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en_US

You must use any file manager like X-plore.

There’s a hidden folder called “.kodi” in there. You may have to set your file explorer to show hidden items. I use X-plore file manager to do it as it has a nice dual-pane layout X-plore on Play Store

I like X-Plore

I know the file manager I use has a similar feature: http://www.lonelycatgames.com/wiki/xplore/vault

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

Usually when that happens you can run it through file manager, for example:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

It is more convenient through app launcher though, yes.

Your connection isn't fast enough for the YouTube app to allow you to stream in 4k. The official app does not let you decide the playback quality, it decides based on connection speed.

Sideload the app called Smart YouTube TV, which allows you to force any resolution you want regardless of connection speed. Even then, not every Youtube video is shot in 4k, so you have to search Youtube specifically for videos offered in 4k.

Or buy a blu-ray player (Xbox One S) and Planet Earth II 4k. Or use X-plore File Manager to play a 4k video file from your Google Drive if your TV supports the format.

edit: nvm, I see it's a Samsung. No go on installing those apps. GG. Get a blu-ray player or upgrade your connection speed via your ISP.

I also do this with X-plore. Or if I've already downloaded something on my phone, use the wifi file server feature to transfer files over wifi.

For OP or anyone else who wants to give it a try: X-plore. I've tried most of the file managers, including Solid Explorer classic and thr new material versions. (paid for it too). Mixplorer is great but I eventually just went back to X-plore for ease of use.

This method works for Might and Magic Clash of Heroes on android and I think it will probably work for most android games.

Use any file manager (I recommend X-plore for reasons explained below) to go to internal storage of your phone (called /sdcard)

Then go to Android then data.

Inside, you'll find a large list of folders with names like com.android.blah blah. These are all the various apps on your phone and each folder contains the data for that app. The weird names are called package names, sort of serial IDs for the apps. No two apps are allowed to have the same ID so they are made to read like website addresses in reverse.

You want to find the folder with the package name for your app and for that you need to know the package name for your app. The easiest way is to use X-plore's app manager. It lists all the apps on your phone with their regular name as well as package name.

Now that you've found the correct folder in /sdcard/Android/data (for Might and Magic Clash of Heroes, the folder was called com.ubisoft.mightandmagic.clashofheroes), copy the entire folder to wherever you want to back it up. It should contain your save files and other stuff. Restore this folder to /sdcard/Android/data and your saves/profiles should hopefully be exactly as they were at the time of backup.

To confirm that this method works for your game, install the game onto a new phone and restore the folder to /sdcard/Android/data. If it doesn't work, sometimes it helps to make a fresh install of the game, run it once, maybe play a little and save a game (so the game makes the correct folders and all). Then quit the game, delete the save folder and in its place copy the one you've backed up.

I have two ways to install Dolphin on my Shield Pro.
PC Method:
1. Download apk file from Dolphin website.
2. Connect Nvidia Shield via Network. How to.
3. Transfer over the Dolphin apk file to your Shield.
4. Download X-plore File Manager on your Shield.
5. Use to X-plore to install Dolphin onto your Shield.

Android Method:
1. Download apk file from Dolphin website.
2. Install X-plore File Manager on your phone.
3. Make sure you are connected to the same network as the Shield.
4. Connect to Shield via X-plore.
3. Transfer over the Dolphin apk file to your Shield.
4. Download X-plore File Manager on your Shield.
5. Use to X-plore to install Dolphin onto your Shield.

Hope this is useful. Bit of pain in the arse but works for me and once set up it is far more painless.

>x-plore file manager

I see two versions from different company in the Play store, which one are you referring to?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=smartsolutions.explorer.onefile.tools.manager.pro

Try using a file manager like X-plore. I personally found this better than the other file managers people like to recommend. X-plore also has a Disk map button, which will show you exactly where it is being used. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en_US

Xplore can scan your device and show what is using the space

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en_US

This is a pretty good app that will open most anything -- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en_US

I understand the ui isn't for everyone but this is the only file manager I use too.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

I found that this app works well.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

Take a look at this X-plore it'll help

MiXplorer

X-plore File Manager

Total Commander

A much easier way to sideload in my opinion: Download the APKs on a computer and put them on Google Drive. Then mount your Google Drive in a file manager like Xplore ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore ) and access the APKs.

Another way is to use the file transfer option in TeamViewer.

So i'll answer my own question, as I've been looking for this for a while, and there's a couple of unanswered questions on here about it.

X-plore can display video thumbnails over the lan (like a windows SMB share):

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

It's helpful if you want to view your NAS / seedbox stuff on your android phone. Surprisingly I haven't found a single other app which does this. ES can't, Solid File Explorer can't, FX Plus file explorer can't.....the list goes on.

Hoping someone finds this useful.

The unanswered posts:

https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQuestions/comments/9ff0ui/android_file_explorer_that_shows_thumbnails_over/

https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQuestions/comments/5fv1n6/best_file_explorer_that_shows_the_video_thumbnail/

I used MindMeister a few years back importing freemind files via Google Drive that I had uploaded from Freeplane Windows program. In the end I found the synchronisation too cumbersome and didn't like the UI too much. I was only using the free 3 mindmaps version as I'm not a friend of monthly charges.

Do give miMind that I posted about a try. You should be able - even in the free version - to sync the maps stored in sdcard/miMind either manually with either MiXplorer or X-plore File Manager.

You could automate syncing using FolderSync or Autosync for Google Drive

Ok I have some good news and some bad news for you. The good is that what you said was basically my initial plan too. I have my Launchbox folder on my Google Drive and it's synced between my PCs, so I though why not having it on my phone too. The bad is that if you have the same setup:

A) you already know how badly Google Drive tends to deal with large numbers of files..not only it takes years to open, go have a look at your trash folder online, yes, those files count towards your quota, and no there's no actual way to delete all of them without pressing "delete all" a thousand times..

B) it's worse when you have to deal with Android's Google Drive APIs. If you want to test this yourself, just test one of those sync apps you mentioned, or simply try this (my favourite file manager for android) and download your launchbox folder locally. It will take AGES, because every file is addressed individually..

C) so you say let's try to treat them as one file! Nope, even worse, you can't even zip the folder from Google Drive's website (or your pc and then transfer via USB), because a lot of the characters that are used in the files/images are not compatible with the .zip or even .7z formats (i don't know if there is a way to make it work, but keep in mind that you'd have to uncompress the folder on the smartphone later), so for example you end up with images originally called "Pokémon.jpg" being turned into "PokBmon.jpg", which obviously makes it a nightmare to match game names and pictures.

At the time of writing the app still supposes you transfer all the required files via USB/LAN..the client is already able to display a grid of images, play the associated music, and you have a "sort of Big Box" view to see al your games in more detail in full screen landscape. It's very early though and I still want to add some basic features such as filters and the ability to launch local android games before releasing it. I'll also leave the project public on Github so that anyone could improve on it if he so wished. Still, there was some talk on the LB forums about adapting a server someone had written to run on PC to "stream" the folder to the device, but at this time I still haven't looked into that. The app will probably release with detailed instructions on how to transfer the required folders yourself, or I might make a little script that does it for you, but that'll probably require a lot of work for not so much benefit (for the average LB user who's probably already pretty crafty and can copy paste a folder himself).

As for the emulation part, I know there are some emulators for Android and I could probably make the app somewhat work in sync with them, it's still too early for that though. At this time, the app is just a cool place to show off your collection on the go, or to admire all of your work even if you don't have your pc with you..that's kinda what I use LB for anyway =D

If you have any suggestions about the emulation part feel free to post them here, I'll definitely post updates here and on the forums once I have something. It might take some months though, it's a fan project and one I have very little time for sadly.

I started dabbling with this myself as i wanted to get a decent experience with PUBG Mobile, however with no spare time (kid, family, life) available I've given up as i don't have time for the pixel-mapping required to do this.

However it seems that I've gotten a bit further than you, my problem was that when opening the file I couldn't find the button mapper-app in the application list to open it with.

It came down to using the right filemanager for this namely Xplore Filemanager ugly as hell but does the job.

If you are on a 4k tv (if it doesn't do it's own scaling ofc), trying to get pubg to work and get a working config please get back to me :)

PS. Remember to backup the original keymapping file if you f something up.

Try x-plore it is the one I have been using for the past 3 years, it even has Google drive and 10 other cloud services, and FTP if u need https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

I've been using X-plore File Manager for years.

I have yet to find a better file explorer for Android.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

That's what I've been rocking. I paid to unlock the file server features. I've never tried the other suggestion (solid explorer) so I don't know how it compares.

Surprised noones mentioned xplore. That things kicks ass.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

Not quite certain what you mean - I can navigate down through my folder hierarchy on Dropbox via Gom Audio and download any song I want.

I also at times like you suggest use a file manager(X-plore File Manager to play / download songs from Dropbox.

X-plore is great as well https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

It's an Android, right? You can install different programs on there, see if you can find one that isn't crap. A quick search suggests X-plore File Manager.

You can also use an On The Go cable to connect your Vita directly to your phone, unless you're on a really old Android release.

My current favorite file browser app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

It makes organisation so easy, and has a file / folder size visualization feature, and support for browsing network drives and cloud storage.

Please take a look at it and consider copying some of those features, such as adding a way to browse faster between folders and quickly jumping between multiple folders

I would suggest to try this before hand:

Recover from an app that refuses start
- If you're rooted:
First backup the app and data (if applicable, ensure that your max backup count is high enough so your new backup won't erase latest one) using a backup app (ex: Titanium Backup).
Then backup your saves by copying /data/data/jp.co.hit_point.nekoatsume/files/savedata_system.sav elsewhere.
If you have an older backup, uninstall game and restore an older version. If not, download an older version. Finaly restore game save either via a backup app or by copying it back.
- If you're not rooted:
Either root your phone, or wait for the next update that will (hopefully) solve the problem.
You can also try to backup your save file by using the save file copy method (might work on some phones). If you succed, simply uninstall the game, install older version (download available from this site) then copy back your backed up save file.
- Anyway, DO NOT UNINSTALL APP, or you will lose all your progress.

I made a copy of this at https://neko.servbox.eu/howto.php for archive.

Concerning the API cheat:

Rooted Android device method:

1) Use your favorite file explorer that support root (example: X-plore File Manager)
2) Go to /system/etc/
3) Edit the file "hosts" adding the following line:
35.196.202.37 hpmobile.jp
4) Restart Neko Atsume
5) Go to daily password prompt
6) Enter "neko"
7) You should be awarded 999999999 gold fishes and 999999999 silver fishes

You can do it again every day.
If you wan to get back to non-cheat passwords, just delete the added line in hosts file.
For non-rooted users, this could be achieved with an intercepting proxy.

You can also make your own server to reply to API requests (you should then use your own IP in hosts file).
The page must return data in this format:
1,password,silver fish count,gold fish count,today's date,
Example:
1,neko,999999999,999999999,2018-09-28,
Page must be located at app/nekoatsume/neko_daily_en.php
This page is to show and get password.
You also must do another page which will be called to check password validity. It must return same kind of values.
Example:
2,2018-09-28,999999999,999999999,
app/nekoatsume/neko_aikotoba_en.php

I also made a copy of this at https://neko.servbox.eu/neko_api.php.

I may also be able to manually edit a save file to grant any number of fishes from start, so I could make a fresh game save file lot of fish for those who lost their save (this will probably need some work so don't expect this today :))

Tell me how you succeed or if you need more information on something (I did that quick, didn't had time to try it all).

OK, so I looked over the code and there are multiple things that could be happening here. The best way for me to diagnose it would be for you to enter in some orders with these addresses and then make a backup file and send it to me. Just go to Settings > Manage data > Generate database backup file. And then find that file using a file browser (I use X-Plore) and email it to me at . Then I'll be able to restore the backup and see things how you see them.

X-plore File Manager

Amaze File Manager

just about any file program has FTP built-in. the popular one is ES-Explorer but i've heard they sold out to chinese hackers, so personally i use X-Plore file manager and it does everything i need it to, including FTP.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en_US

I would recommend X-plore file manager any day of the week & twice on Sunday:

Thanks for the tip; going to give it a shot.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

Apparently this one works with Android TV from my limited Googling.

I'm back with some additional stuff (more like some 'thank you' content).

1 - When re-reading the OP I have the feeling that I wasn't 100% clear about what I was looking for. With a bit more words now:

I had gottten used to X-plore File Manager , which allows me to navigate Android directory tree and evaluate folder sizes in a graphical way - like THIS.

So I got sort of pissed off when, after installing an SD card, all I was getting to see from it was a copycat list of seemingly empty folders.

However after a bit of googling & testing I came to realize that what I was running into was actually a limitation of stock Android, i.e., a non-root device will block me to see (and act upon) whatever sensible stuff, "for my own protection". In other words, regardless of whatever tool I might use, the sizes of files and folders belonging to apps and placed within the SD card would be hidden from me.

I still can see the details and sizes of files & folders that I created MYSELF in the SD card, like videos and images - but in order to see the big picture and be able to view 100% of file sizes, I'll have to ROOT my phone first (which is something I intend to do in the near future, anyway).

2 - Re the first 2 apps suggested by /u/kopfler (FX File Explorer and MK Explorer): I have tested them in the past, and I can't recall any interesting feature in either of them that I wouldn't also find in X-plore (link given in #1), whose UI I prefer.
3 - Re the third app suggested by /u/kopfler (SanDisk Memory Zone), I read the description, watched the video, didn't feel any good feeling about it, and decided to pass it (without even testing). IMHO the app has too much functionality and too little focus (as it frequently happens with SW brought about by HW manufacturers).
4 - /u/AlexJimL suggested AirMore. I installed and tested it... but since I have a 5-yr-old phone, a 6-yr-old laptop, a quirky Internet connection and an untrustable router, my actual results were nothing to write home about. But I'm under the impression that Zapya 1 and Zapya 2 (which I actually use now and then) do the very same thing as AirMore, only faster and with less quirks. I'm also aware of AirDroid, SHAREit and Xender, which are all said to do the very same thing, but I haven't personally tested either of them yet. Maybe in my particular case Xender would merit a 2nd look, since I have a Samsung Smart TV whose OS is Tizen and Xender is said to support it.
5 - One side aspect I haven't completely factored in yet, when considering this category of Android apps, is the possibility of remote controlling the Android device from a PC - I might take a further look into this soon. Aside from the venerable TeamViewer, AirDroid also says it does it. As to AirMore, I was only able on my tests to MIRROR some Android screens to the PC, but could not interact with them from the PC side.
6 - I ended up stumbling, in a totally random way, upon another app that somehow manages to mitigate the limitations of file management under non-rooted Android - it's Link2SD, free edition. While it's advertised as being exclusively useful to ROOTED users (as in, moving & linking specific components of specific apps into the SD card), I found its REPORTING section quite useful to me and my non-rooted S4. It can tell me WHICH apps are already in the SD card, plus which others CAN be moved; and for all apps, the space usage is broken down into apk / dex / lib / data / cache / total. I can see the individual PATH/filename for each app component. I have 11 options for grouping apps in the report, coupled with 12 independent sorting options !
7 - Since I got up to this point I will add a couple more links (and will bookmark this topic for my future personal reference). Files To SD Card is a simpler version of Link2SD (seemingly for non-root users). OTOH, App2SD free and App2SD PRO are sister apps that started initially from the basic functionality of Link2SD, and ended up evolving into a respectable AIO toolset for ROOT users.

So, that's about it. Feel free (and thx !!) to correct or complement any wrong / broken info and assertions you might find above.

Don't have a mac but I tend to use X-plore and a browser to transfer stuff to and from the phone over wifi.

May need a one time donation to do video though. If you don't like that then look around the play store some, there's bound to be something else that does the same thing for free.

How well does this compared to X-plore X-plore File Manager

Edit: links

I find X-plore File Manager by Lonely Cat Games to be excellent.

I also find X-plore File Manager by Lonely Cat Games excellent.

X-plore File Manager: Dual-pane view and free cloud[Dropbox, Google drive ...] amongst many features.

Xplore file manager has a viewer built in and is free. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

I'm on stock ROM and DiskUsage shows the disc map to the whole internal space, I think.

Anyhow, just figure out what folder takes the most space then use a file manager..

Total Commander or ES explorer..

Or

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

I use this one, it has that function as you can see from this screenshot.. The app itself it's kinda ugly but once you get used to it you realize it's pretty powerful.

I have been using this file explorer for 5 months now and never looked back.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

X-plore has dual pane UI, works with the cloud (dropbox, box...) and it's free, but I have donated, to support the developer's work.

I have been having this issue and thought it was related to doing some tests I was doing with the echo wizard cleanup tool.

I was able to boot again after using a file manager to delete

Textures13.db

File will be in your kodi userdata/database/ folder. If you do not have a file manager be aware you will need to allow viewing hidden files before you can navigate to this directory. The directory is located at something like...

android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/

I use X-Plore file manager, I just find it easier to use with a remote https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en

Did you try a different browser?

Edit: well sheeeit I just got back to my comp and tried it out on a few and I get the same. I wonder if it's an Android snougat problem as I haven't used it in a little while, but did use it a lot previously.

Here's a decent workaround though: X-Plore File Manager has an excellent web based file manager (called WiFi Server), you can even go into the backup dir and have it zip it up on the fly by choosing 'Download as zip'

X-Plore file manager has lots of options for free-- there's only a small few that you'd need to unlock for $4 (iirc)

It, along with ES are easily the most feature packed file managers, if you need a power tool to do the job.

x-plore

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

has a rather unique "dual window" system that works well

Works fine, i've got one of these, just make sure your flash drive is formatted FAT32 and you'll be fine.

You will need a good file exporer program to run the copies though. (I like X-Plore but feel free to snag the one that works for you)

nici x-plore nu e rău

My new fav file manager has an FTP client: X-Plore. Tap show , FTP on the main screen for access.

Download x-plore and you'll see the option.

I love it for it's old school UI.

Easy to use form maker to do anything from track assets, drive time log, and part number tracking for stuff on my car (I keep the light bulb numbers and what they go to since my car seems to eat them)

I've been using the Xplore File Manager the last few months. It's growing on me.

use this, does just about any protocol in common use today and has a logical workflow https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

I'm a fan of Xplore.

I have a nexus player and I find X-plore File Manager to be a better option than ES file explorer.

I was looking for a solution to a related problem and came across this.

I was able to change the permission with x-plore file manager: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en

Selecting the folder, scroll down on the right to "configuration", then root access > superuser + mount writable

May be worth a try if you haven't found a solution yet.

X-plore File Manager - It's a free dual-pane file manager that is ad-free and it has alot of features.

IMO it's the best file manager.

I can't say, that no one else knows about, but there is two apps, that are much less popular, than they should be:

X-plore Filemanager Clever functions, lean and not so bloated, like the others, single-guy developer. I have yet to find a feature I am missing, very good, simple media-players coming with it. Commercial, but very affordable.

Automagic Premium It's like Tasker, but with the better user-interface (create your flows in a graphical editor as flow-charts). And the best: It is compatible to Tasker Plugins. Premium version is also commercial (though, it seems I linked the free one, did not see the key, so it may have gone free altogether).

I suggest you try X-Plore File Manager, I find it far superior to ES.

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

X-plore is already very good. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en Root, FTP, SMB, Sqlite, Zip, Rar, 7zip, DLNA/UPnP explorer

Well, it can be temporary files, that were not deleted in time. Our anything else. If you don't have root, you can download some kind of a file manager, that can show you how much space your folders and files take.

I use X-plore and it can show your space like this: http://i.imgur.com/tYWftJw.jpg
Enable hidden files and folders in options. For example, up until recently, telegram didn't really clean its cache automatically, and it could be like 4gb in \/telegram folder. All browsers use cache, and if you don't have time to find unnecessary files, you can safely clear it: http://i.imgur.com/xDyjTwO.jpg.

Basically, you need a certain amount of free space to install apps. On nexus 5 it's 500mb, and if you have 499mb free you won't be able to install apps from Google play.

X-Plore recently have this feature too!

Try X-plore. See if it does everything you need.

Beat me! I use this app daily. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en

Windows Share and https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

X-plore has that, with a very nice UI I have been using it since it was on Symbian OS

X-plore: link

X-plore seems like a nice manager, I've been using it for a couple of days.

X-plore

My default is Solid Explorer (paid), it's a nice app but I can't honestly point any particular feature it would stand out of the crowd. I've tried the alpha and it's nice but buggy.

Also X-plore file manager has heaps of features close to ES:

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

Do one for X-plore! I use it, but even I admit it's hideous.

If you don't like ES, I much prefer Xplore. It has a nice dual-pane view which I love for copying files between folders. Uses the LAN server same as ES.

I was actually going to ask the same thing, I didn't realise it was that easy. Just had to type in my username and password and voila! All my files!

X-plore .

Going to need a FULL debug log . as you have installed the latest version of seren and gone into seren > tools > wipe . and restarted . and still have issues this is a very weird issue .

You can grab it over the network (as long as you install smb1 on windows 10 ) or use a usb drive to transfer the file over to pc you can then upload it with . OR use the kodi log file uploader tool linked in rule 7 https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Kodi_Logfile_Uploader its in the offical kodi repo .

The location (if you want to manually grab the file ) of the log on a shield is this >

\internal\Android\data\org.xbmc.kodi\files.kodi\temp

I use xplore file manager for android to manage my shield files if i'm not just directly accessing it over network https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en_US This also supports most cloud services such as google / etc

Besides that the only thing i can suggest is this >

You have properly restarted both your router/modem and shield correct ? Also what happens when you turn OFF autoplay and choose source select / fancy ?

None of them!

Get this one: X-Plore

I think this is the easiest app for sharing devices to a Windows PC on the same network:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore

To send any file to a PC, you just share it like you'd share a picture to Facebook and select Xplore. Then, the app opens and sends it to a shared folder on your Windows PC.

It's also just as easy to send files from your PC to your device. Just open up the shared folder in Xplore and copy it to your phone.

Plus, I don't need to install another app just for this function. Everyone uses a file explorer anyway, so it's nice that Xplore does double duty.

Best part is that you don't have to install any additional apps on Windows either.

All the best features are free but I donated to the dev anyway.

From the Google Play Store of course:
