Default What file explorer do you use and why?

Hi, I know this is kind of a weak topic to start but, I haven't been on Android in about 3 years and have really lost track of, and gotten out of the loop in what is going on here.... I still remember alot, and even had .apk's stashed away from having a rooted G1 running CM6 back in the day.... I want to know what file explorer/browser you are using and why... I am currently unemployed and don't really want to spend on a pair file browser but wouldn't mind paying $.99 so post your favorite even if it costs more and tell me why!!!

TIA

Default it dont matter right now

Just use stock until we get (if we get) bootloader unlocked and sbf. but i have root explorer downloaded it works great you can get into any file you want, but you need to be rooted. Even though right now if you have a x2 there is no reason for a good file explorer there is nothing special to do right now. i bought back in the day when i had a og droid it was very useful back then.

I use root explorer as well it helped me swap my sd card partitions with ease once we had the right file. I just find root explorer to be easier to use its not complicated at least to me.


For the browser I use dolphin hd its free in the market. It works fast has some pretty good features like addons support, slide your finger on the left side of.the screen and you will get your bookmarks. I enjoy using dolphin.hd better then the stock.browser

I use stock for now. Used to switch between Root Explorer and Astro on my Droid. Astro helped me view my sloppy, unorganized SD card with ease.

I always have root explorer for when i need it, but I use astro any other time. Mostly out of habit, a few ROMs I've gone through even came with it, but its also pretty feature rich. My buddy was always using ES, and if i remember right it had some nice features for those that root built in.

Astro works better than the stock file manager, but root explorer really is king in the field.

Always used Estrongs on the stock. ROM. But miui has a decent one pre-installes. It even has an FTP server and used space analyzer. Which is very awesome!

Anyone using Droid Explorer?

Over in the Touch Pro 2 forum, it was mentioned quite heavily and it appears to be working.

Or is this more of a tool for rooted devices?

Pretty sure Droid Explorer is a Windows program that allows you to decompile apps

I use File Expert. It is great for Root access and it also connects to my home pc over wifi for copying files.
