UPDATE v.1.6.2.4 [4-1-2013]
what's new:
-Improved launch time in root (it's really faster)
-One key uninstall for root
-Sort app
_________________________
- the app comes in 4 different flavours (5 considering the default Gray).
- all the file.type icons were done from scratch to match the minimal clean holo theme.
hey all!
am i the only one who loves the awesome ES File Explorer,but was never satisfied with the look of its UI?
it made me feel like this:
time ago,looking here on xda,i found this thread.
the mod was looking nice,but i was still not satisfied..furthermore the guy abandoned the mod.
so lately when i had a bit of time i modified even more the whole thing adding almost all the missing icons and folders,to make it look more minimal and HOLOish.
i thought it was nice to share it on here:
INSTALLATION:
if you want to keep your settings:
1) do a backup of your current ES explorer with Titanium Backup
2) uninstall your current ES explorer
3) install the themed version and restore your previous ES explorer backup: DATA ONLY
if you don't care about your settings then just uninstall your current version and install the themed one.
don't try to install the themed one over the original,it won't work,apps have different signatures.
in general: you can install themed apk over the themed one,in the case you like to switch or try different flavours.
to go back to stock ES,you'll have to uninstall the modded version of course.
WHEN YOU UPDATE TO THE NEW MODDED VERSION YOU DON'T NEED TO UNISTALL THE PREVIOUS MODDED ONE
SETTINGS:
FOLDERS: go in settings--->theme settings--->folder style: choose YELLOW to get your custom color.
for all the versions the default style is always GRAY
if you then choose BLUE,you'll get blue folders except for net and lan shares,which will be gray due to the app limitations.
violet apk style options example:
default: gray folders
yellow: violet folders
blue: blue folders (lan/net/ftp/bluetooth stays gray)
BACKGROUND: go in settings-->theme-->color: choose default for gray background. otherwise,black or white
grab the apk flavour you prefer down here and enjoy your awesome ES file explorer
let me know if there's something missing,i'll try to keep the apk updated as much as possible.
NOTICE:
the icons work is under CreativeCommons License
all the icons are done by scratch,some are derivative of original google docs/android dev resources.
it took a good effort and quite bit of time since i am not a graphic designer and i am glad to share it with the community,
if you want to use the icons or need bigger res.files just drop me a PM.
..and of course credit my work on your thread/website/blog/whatever,thanks :highfive:
