[APP][2.2+] MiXplorer v6.x Released (fully-featured file manager)

[bombadier]

Thanks for your answers.

I have tried another app (long time ago since havent used it), Root explorer (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?hl=en&id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer&pli=1), and with it, in Android/data I can copy/paste, delete, edit... the problem is that it does not have media player integrated for videos, audio..

Was that the first app to have a fully working solution for this scoped storage? No matter, have you tried mixplorer using the full root path ? I know its not as convenient at the moment but you could set a bookmark and at least it would achieve all you want until Hootan gets a moment to have a look to fix mix.

Yeah, in that way, that works. Thanks for the workaround

@bombadier, I should have identified sooner that this was similar to the issue you and a few others previously reported but I'm glad did more testing as it revealed new things. Thanks for filling in the gaps.

Alternate paths are described in that batch of linked workarounds but has now been consolidated into what is becoming a primary list of workaround steps here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/mixplorer-q-a-and-faq-user-manual.3308582/post-87626419

Suggestions for additions are welcome.

Hi all,

Me too had the Android update on our Chromecast TV and CX explorer did not work for Google Drive anymore.

Can confirm that MiXplorer does work great.
Installed it on my TCL TV, Nvidia Shield and the Chromecast TV.

Thanks for all your work

Req. There should a dedicated button to copy file name. The current way to 1st go through the rename menu, long press and copy the file name takes too many steps doesn't fit well with Mixplorer overall user friendliness.

Good morning,
I hope I'm in the right place, in case I accidentally wrong forum please forgive me ...

I have a problem with Mixplorer; I've already read many posts on the forum but reading more than two thousand pages is really an impossible undertaking especially for those who, like me, are unfamiliar with English.

Basically my Mixplorer 6.58.5-API29 doesn't have permission to write to the sd card of my smartphone. I can neither copy or move nor delete or rename any file because the warning of image 1 appears; if I try to paste the file anyway, the warning of image 2 appears.
I tried searching on the net but I couldn't find a solution to the problem yet on my old Redmi Note 4 with Mi-Globe custom rom with A10 it worked perfectly.
I am currently on Redmi Note 8T and MIUI by Xiaomi.eu v. 12.0.4 stable with Android 10.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me and I wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

Several skins mentioned in the OP, including Guillaume Skins Gallery and Theme Corporate are missing in the given links.

I would advise using Info, rather than Rename, and resist the urge to long-press the link-looking path.

I don't know where you would put yet another button. Maybe Edit menu items "Copy Name", "Copy Path". If there was an Edit menu.

Are you rooted?

Try navigating to SD-card by a different path. Try "/mnt/media_rw/3130-3139".

Try reading the first few posts of the FAQ thread, then follow some links. It will be dozens of posts instead of thousands.

Have you managed to use the "Search thread" option on this site? It sucks, but sometimes the snippet indicates a promising post. Look for things like "SD-card" and "content provider".

If you've got a problem, you should always first check out the first posts of the dedicated thread. Most often, they contain information about common problems and helpful links.

The issue you are experiencing might be a known issue for which there is a workaround or it may be a newer issue with the same symptoms for which there is a different workaround, or something newer still for which there is no workaround. With multiple possible workarounds for a similar set of symptoms it can be hard to suggest one action that will fix it, although IMO in this case @J.Michael's suggestions are a good starting point.

For reasons implied above the documentation for this was once in separate workarounds for separate sets of symptoms but it became more difficult to determine specifically which workaround to apply in which circumstances so I've been consolidating it into one post containing applicable and relatively safe workaround suggestions. This is the consolidated post:

No, i have the bootloader unlocked but i haven't rooted

I downloaded (and also translated into my language ita) the user manual but I didn't find solutions for my case.
Maybe it could depend on the ROM used? My other phone, Redmi Note 7 with Stock MIUI 12.5.1 India and Android 10, with bootloader unlocked but no root, also has the same problem with Mixplorer

The file manager contained in the ROM works perfectly but I would like to remove it because it is full of ads

Don't bother trying to download the whole user manual. It contains far more information than you might need and some of the information is buried in the threads. Try the suggestions in those three FAQ posts. If you need help interpreting the instructions please feel free ask for clarification. Unfortunately the primary workaround, which is to use a different path from the root directory, may not work on a non rooted device. In this regard we may be waiting for the developer to tweak something.

[EDIT] fixed a typo. I was saying to ask for clarification, not to go to the Internet for clarification.

Just FYI, on some devices negative effects might be caused by freezing or removing the native file manager. This varies by device and it's possible that you will be able to freez it but just be prepared for the possibility that you will have to leave it on the device while you use an alternate file manager. Also, if you do uninstall it then make sure you have a way to restore it if needed. This has nothing to do with an MiXplorer. It has to do with the relationship between the operating system and the native file manager.

I don't know where you would put yet another button. Maybe Edit menu items "Copy Name", "Copy Path". If there was an Edit menu.

Using info, I don't see a way to copy file name, only file PATH.
You're right that there's no room on action bar. It could be made customizable and enable adding/remove button like the other menus.
Another solution is just add option to copy file name in Info button. It's also quicker.

How can I get rid of this popup every time I open the app. If I click add it won't let me select the drive to "use this folder". Only allows me to select a folder in the drive. If I select a random folder and then exit the program and re-enter the popup comes back again. I just want to get rid of the popup every time I open the app.

There is a setting "Enable OTG". Whichever way you have it set, try the other way.

I tried setting it to enabled and disabled but it makes no difference. I've tried everything I can think of. Uninstalling and reinstalling. Clearing the data, clearing cache. The popup will just not go away. It pops up every time I open the app. I can see my sdcard drive and read and write to it. Everything seems normal other than that stupid annoying popup every time. I have an external usb drive migrated to use storage for my Nvidia shield box. I have another Shield with basically the same setup and don't have this annoying popup. I just don't get it.

[edit] I installed X-Plore and it doesn't have any problems or any popups so I can't figure out for the life of me why Mixplorer does.
