Mi File Explorer is an awesome file manager.
It's nice, useful and handy app with a simple user interface.
This app is completely free and never gonna be a paid app
It supports Android 2.2+
I have a lot of plans for this app and I can do all of them with your helps like always
I hope you will enjoy it.
Major Features:
- Root access
- Categorized files (Music, Videos, Pictures, Apk, ...)
- Global search
- Favorites
- Clouds (Dropbox, Box, SkyDrive, Google Drive)
- FTP client
- Support zip, rar, tar, tar.gz and tar.bz2 archives
- Create zip and tar archives
- Share files via FTP (Root access)
- Send apk via Bluetooth to all devices
- Install apps silently (Needs Root)
I know these themes are not as nice as they could be, because I'm not a good graphic designer.
I promise to make a win or web theme maker application in the feature, then you can make your own theme easily.

4.x versions:
A different app with different taste and I'm sure you will love it.
I don't have enough time to finish it in this time, so I'll finish and share it with you in my next free time (in summer).
3.x versions: Mi File Explorer is not a commercial app and It is free.
It's just a personal app that I'm sharing with you as MiProjects (My international projects).
This is not a third party app and original credits goes to 'Hootan Parsa' (@Apooonet id)
Used libraries: Wifi File Transfer >> SwiFtp (I did lots of modifications and sources will be published in the future.) Java FTP Client >> FTP4j (I did an small modification on it) Zip library >> ZIP4j (I modified it a little to work faster) RAR library >> junrar Box Cloud API + some changes DropBox API + some changes SkyDrive API + some changes
Other Things: App Icon >> Created by PhysX (XDA Graphic Designer) for this app. Some icons + Categroy Bar >> from MIUI ROM and will be removed completely in the next versions. Folder Icons >> I've found the folder icon on the web and changed it in some variant colors.

Notice:
* If you are a ROM developer and you wanna add this app to your ROM or you wanna make a review for this app, please read my descriptions carefully and also add the link of this thread to the credit part of your original post (please don't forget).
* Please don't resign this app. Because Google Drive won't work.
* If you are going to share 'MiFileExplorer' on XDA, please contact me first.
2.x versions:
These series versions are based on ported native file explorer from the very old MIUI ROM (miuiandroid_Defy-2.1.13) to all 2.2+ android devices.
The modifications on 2.x versions are too much more than what that simple app was.
But I'd give the original credit to MIUI company respectfully.
If you are going to share 'MiFileExplorer' on XDA, I appreciate if you contact me first.
Notice:
I really don't have any idea when MIUI company started to use "Mi" (as a prefix) in some of it's projects.
But I didn't know that when I named this project with Mi prefix. it's also true about the ported MIUI apps (deskclock and notes).
I'm using this prefix for some years and it comes from "MiProjects (My international projects)".
It's just a conflict.
I don't get any profit from this project and there is no reason to create a name with their prefix to make it famous or something.
I personally don't like to do it too and It seems I have to find a way to solve this issue for the future.
Sorry to cause misunderstanding with some of you guys.

Now I'm going to modify this app.

Hi. Very good idea. The only thing i was missing was root explorer. I didn't test the app, but will as soon as possible. If nobody has an idea, than keep solving bugs^^. I hope you continue the work
Keep up the good work. I added root stuff to it ages ago in miui-au (but pretty poorly) as it was the only reason I needed another file manager. Well other than I do use zip/unzip, which is great to see you've added.

I have given it a try since root exploring you have added, but I couldnt gain the root access.
All I can see is Browse, SDCard and FTp tabs, but how do I access the system partition of the files? Am I missing something here?
you didn't read the first post exactly.
I'v not uploaded the root version yet
the link is for base version
I'll upload the last version today or tomorrow
