I'm missing Bookmarks (root-explorer-like style of) in this good app.
And i'm missing root access, program don't even ask for it, ignoring root force settings.

And third it's very slow on my Galaxy 580. I know everything you may say about it, i'm just giving you feedback because m.b. there is a chance to optimise it somehow - just find out that this app is lagging because of data2sd. It's fine when on /system/

That's all for now, thanks for the attention

Hello, great app! I'm glad we have a lot of good file manager choices these days.

Could we please have the option to remove the search button on top, and instead gain the vertical space?
Also, it would be nice if folders and files in the list view could also display information like file size, date last modified, etc.

Hey guys, just a heads up. Great feedback, I'll be adding in most of the requested stuff asap. I'm doing an MBA at the moment which is eating up a lot of my time, plus other stuff etc.

So it'll be a few weeks before a new version hits, but it's coming. ;)

Not sure on the root issue.. it does the usual 'su' so maybe you already have the app 'remembered' as deny root, check in superuser app.

For bookmarks - do you mean something in addition to the Places bookmarks (you can add your own) or something extra?

By removing search button, do you mean the whole top bar as well? Else you'd still have the top bar taking up vertical space anyway...

I did that already tried everything nothing works what version of busybox do you guys use maybe that's my problem

Sent from my LT15i using xda premium

FileSlick has it's own included mini-busybox, so it wouldn't be busybox... What you can try do is going to the Mounts place and try enable writing for the partition you want to write to directly...

I want this option too... Plus the option to resize images when attaching them - emailing a 3mb jpg is a bit much. :D

.db files

51 pages.. didn't feel like reading them all to see if this was already asked... so... I am very sorry if this has already been brought up...

Is it possible to get a built-in database editor to edit the .db files? Kinda like how 'Root Browser' works.

Thanks greatly

Not feeling like reading or searching is not an excuse not to follow the forum rules you agreed to when you joined.

hello hope things are good,
I've uploaded the new japanese translation (incremental).
Also have few issues...

# Crash
Create new FTP place but don't edit anything, just click on Login.
Then try to delete the new place.
FileSlick Crashes.

# Need a way to exit "Edit FTP Host" mode.
Currently, you can't get out of the editing mode, unless you hit Login.
If you have multiple FTP server entries, you need to hit login for each FTP host.
I think it's easier if you have "Enter Editing Mode", "Exit Editing Mode"

# Can't select multiple FTP hosts to delete.
Create two FTP hosts, Click on both and hit action. You only see one in your option.
Click on Delete, you only see one.
Try unselecting on FTP host and click on action again. the UI acts as if none of the FTP hosts are selected.

Hello guys!
I`m having a little question related to this app. How can I share (via Bluetooth for eg.) some selected files (audio, text, or even folders)...I mean, the only actions available are copying, moving, deleting and renaming...does this mean that i can`t share those multiple files?
Thanks for attention.
Waiting for a reply...:)

    Hey guys. Some of you might know me from my z4root app - anyway, I had some free time this week and cooked up a new filemanager app. It uses a nice gesture based navigation system that I haven't seen used before.

    I'm upping it here to XDA first to get some feedback. Check it out and see if you like it - let me know if there are any missing features you'd like!

    Features in this release:
    • Root support
    • Thumbnails
    • Launching files / Sharing files
    • Copy/Move/Delete/Rename Files and Folders
    • Create Folders
    • Preview and info for image files
    • Filter support to find files in large folders
    • Disable adverts option
    • Theme Browser
    • Modify permissions for root mode
    • Toggle mount points between ReadWrite and ReadOnly
    • Save hotlinks to folders of your choice
    • SMB Support
    • FTP Support
    • ZIP, TAR, TAR.GZ, TAR.BZ2 Support
    • Search in sub folders recursively
    • Search for text inside files
    • Quick access to remount / and /system as RO or RW (root only)
    • Batch set folder/file permissions (root mode)
    • Browse folders while performing file operations
    • Total, Free, Used space for mount points
    • Overlay support - Filesize Overlay
    • Bluetooth browser

    Features I plan to add:
    • Tablet optimization

    Reasons to use this instead of other file managers (at least when all features are in!):
    • Better UI (I think? Let me know!)
    • Full root access support
    • Quick and easy to use search and filtering
    • Themes
    • More to come...!

    Full language support for: English, Dutch, German, French, Greek, Russian, Portuguese, Spanish, Arabic, Japanese, Polish, Vietnamese

    Want to add your language? Download http://www.mobile-dev.co.za/fileslickfiles/translations/strings.xml and post a translation.
    You can browse existing translations at http://www.mobile-dev.co.za/fileslickfiles/translations/

    Here are some screenshots:

    How to use:
    • Swipe your finger right on an folder or file to view the contents. Swipe back to the left to go back.
    • Click on a file or folder to select it. You can then browse to a different folder and select actions at the bottom, and then copy.
    • Tap Places and then Root Access for root control. Your phone must be rooted to use this.
    • Press the menu button to get to the theme browser.

    It`s a possibility, but I'm running it on HC3.2 with no issues.

    Go into app manager(settings/applications/manage applications) and clear the app cache/data then reboot and try again.

    If the above doesn't work contact the dev for more solutions.
