Android File Manager

---

Its out now, anyone seen it yet?

This should help out a lot...hopefully next we can move apps to the mem. card.

just found that you can view the app data by going to system and then to apps.

you think if we were to make a app folder on the mem. card they would run? im going to play around and see what happens

well the manager at the moment only lets you view the files. I have tired multiple times to cut and paste program files onto the mem. card but with no luck. possibly the second file manager program will have all of the bugs out of it.

but....

do you think if we had a system/app file on our mem. card the phone would pull the apps off of our card? just trying to get things rolling here so we can get everything FINALLY on our cards and stop wasting all of our phone memory.

THANKS

I don't think so... but could be wrong. I noticed the card only has "media" folders nothing yet is stored on the card really.

ya i noticed that as well....hopefully this is a step in the right direction. once we can actually view ALL files and are able to move things around then things should start to get interesting.

what if we were to somehow make a shortcut to tell the phone where the app is? so only the command to the app on the memory car would be on the phone. it would be a VERY small size file on the phone compared to the entire app...think this may work?

I doubt we can ever be able to move or view all files. Google set it up so our version is locked down and no one can get root access.

Just one damned symlink. That's all we need.

No root? Oh Google, and you said you opened the platform but forgot to give us the root password

Platform is open... it is the provider who locks the platform so that you can't do just anything you want. IE steal their my faves app code or some such code they find secretive.

True words. Sometimes I think that openness and mobile operators are two incompatible things. You should be watching the presentation of G1 organized by T-Mobile. All was going good until the audience was able to ask questions. The questions were about operator restrictions on the device and locking. The general mood of the presentation went down after it...
