Hey guys.
Any thoughts or opinions about the new file manager in cm ?
I really like it.the root acces is good But it lacks a dark theme and some rotation enabled.
Also was wondering if i could use it on a non cm rom ? Maybe backup with tb ?

I heard it can access root folders but can't open archive/zip files. The latter is a deal breaker for me. Still it's a good start :)

Well working on BAKED-crespo 6. Just copied to /system/app. Set permissions to rw-r--r--. Reboot and done. Well so far does whatever I want. For sure will see updates.

I remove it every time I update a nightly on my phone. It's probably the worst thing I've ever seen. It looks like something written for X Windows 10 years ago. The interface, design and functionality is about as basic as you get.. CM team should stick to providing stablilty and integrated options into Android and not apps that there are already 1000 better choices of.

This was the first thing that I needed to do with a file manager with my latest install. I also found this to be a huge place where this file manager is lacking. Sticking with Root Explorer for now (I already bought it, might as well keep it).

Have it installed from my latest CM10 nightly, but would really like to be able to do a MD5 checksum on it, because I always like to do this for ZIPs before flashing, just in case. Don't know how easy / feasible / possible that would be, but would be nice.

I like the interface apart from that access time sucks.... As someone mentioned solid explorer which looks similar performs a lot better.

Moving files in CM 11 File Manager

Yes you can! Select the file you want to move (tick the box) and then go to the location where you want it pasted. Then press the button on the bottom left, and select 'Move selection here'.
