I just put 6.2 on my wife's phone. It was due some kind of re-flash because of app misbehavior.

Every time I put some new ROM on her phone I keep telling her how she's going to love this. Now that I've got her updated, time to take mine from Stock Odexed ND8 to this. But not tonight, too tired ? and too late. Maybe tomorrow after we both get off work early for the weekend and go see the new X-men. ☺

Thanks, @bilgerryan and everyone else who contributed!

I recommend fx file explorer... has multi window like touchwiz... network connections to connect to pc on the same WiFi... themes... script readers... scans and categorizes audio, video, downloaded apps and documents. .. can connect to other devices by Bluetooth. ... just a lot more features than the plain file browsers I see others use.. I highly recommend...

only down side is you have to purchase network and cloud storage integration.... but def worth the price...

I'm a big fan of FX File Explorer too, but I do use ES File Manager for some things and Root Explorer for others.

That's too many file explorers
Yeah. I finally stopped using Root Explorer. I've been using X-plore and I was sometimes using Dual File Manager but I *think* from what I remember that X-plore picked up all or most of the strengths of DFM but I'll have to try DFM again to remind myself of any differences there may still be.

Now if GPSoftware would make a version of Directory Opus for Android, there would be no competition from a technical standpoint. ☺

i agree with bilgerryan... too many.. lol.. but may i ask WHY??? fx does everything those others do (and more)... root explorer does what es does (and i think more) so why have one that does a little... one that does a little more and one that does everything?

edit.. damn, got ninja'd by the very person the question was directed at.... and answered before my question was asked... soooo... you psychic ninja'd lol

I mainly use FX for most everything and hardly every use Root Explorer, which if I do it is because I cannot get my permissions right -- maybe it's a noob thing in respect to that :eek:. Now with ES, I mainly make my flashable zips with it because when I was making them with 4.3 it was omitting the "preview" portion of the zip whereas ES did not -- I'm not sure if that was important or not, but I did not even bother experimenting. So all-in-all, I use FX 99% of the time, ES .09%, and RE .01%. Like I kind of alluded to earlier, the main reason I may use one for a specific task is because, for example, Bilgerryan may give someone instructions to set permissions to 0644 to perform a task. Well as we know, FX doesn't have permissions set up that way, well, not too my knowledge. And if it is in FX, then I just made my case, meaning I need too use a combination until I am proficient in one:fingers-crossed: Anyhow, I'll let you all rag on me all you want when it comes to my use of file managers, just keep teaching me what you all know! :laugh::fingers-crossed:

Does your mobile data signal move at all? I seem to be having that issue with my XBlast (I had the option checked for Solid Icon Fix, but that didn't do anything). The icon looks like I have a full signal all the time when I know I don't.
I noticed that but it seems to be Wanam signal bar theme that causes it. When I turned signal theme off, I started to see true signal again.

Wanam, notifications panel, scroll down to signal icons, check signal bars number, then set the signal bar number to 5.

I noticed this today. Thanks for figuring out a fix, @Soooperstar & @ptaylor09

EDIT:

Just a little more info on getting the signal icon to display properly when using Wanam and X blast tools. In Wanam settings, you must leave the the signal bar number box checked and the bar count set to 0. That will allow your true signal strength to be displayed and allow you to theme the signal bar to any color you want. :D

fx has permissions.... just long press the app and in the popup is permissions in the bottom left corner... must already be in /app, /priv-app or /data for that option to appear... no need in setting permission when its in your downloads folder..... boom now its fx 99.1% ...

i use fx to make my flashables and no problem so i dont think that file is needed... boom now its 100% lol :p

Flashed, working very well. I was going to flash a custom boot image but I ended up liking the one that comes with it. Pretty cool.

Okay.. I just boot looped like ten times in a row. I think it was because of wanan. I clicked preferred settings, disabled it for now. Anyone else have issues with preferred settings or setting the audio profile app setting to the highest quality? Disabled both and now my phones working fine again.
