Default What File Manager is on the Droid 3?

Does anyone know what file manager comes with Verizon's version of the Droid 3? I'd like to use it on my Kindle Fire as it's got a nice clean interface and works just the way I expect it too, so no relearning anything.

I tried backing up the apk and moving it to my Fire, but it won't install. I'm assuming some graphical resources are missing or something like that, though I don't really know. I was hoping if I could identify it I could find a stand alone apk to install.

All I know about the program is that it's 92K on the phone, and is called simple "Files."

Thanks

Files comes as a system app on our Droid 3s. This is probably why it won't install on your Fire or like you said because of graphical..etc.

If you have your device rooted, you could try to place the FileManager.apk in the system\app folder and set the permissions to Owner: Read/Write, Group: Read, and Others: Read. (You can do this using ADB as well) and reboot. This should install the app.

However I would suggest just trying ES File Explorer instead, it should be compatible with your kindle. Good luck

Yes, I've got Es File Explorer and Astro File Manager installed, and while they work fine, I like Files' simplicity and look and feel.

It was worth a shot.

Thanks
