[Q] What file explorers do you use?

I've been a long time user of Astro + Bluetooth module.
(I went to File Expert for a while but then came back.)
Astro of course, plays a supplementary role with Root Explorer.
More and more though, I notice that Astro just seems to lag big time. (I'm thinking that it may be because of really old code.)
I'd like to know if you also experience slowdowns when file browsing, and, what are you using?
If possible, please also share features (I'm looking for a file explorer that has batch bluetooth functionality, and if possible, also show the apk icons correctly.)

I use es file explorer.

Just Root Explorer. Have to freeze the OI File Manager that comes with CM, as having it's icon there when I don't use it annoys me

Astro, Root Explorer, and when I need to, Bluetooth File Transfer.

[Q] Correct/Proper ways to install apps using root explorer guide anyone???

Guys sorry I'm still a noob in this kinda thing... Just wanna ask if anyone can show me STEP-BY-STEP how to push install 'application not installed' apps into system using root explorer. I tried copy the file into /system/app and already changed the permission to rw-r-r, and after that I'm kinda blurred cuz dunno to install ORIGINAL or COPY file. And by using file explorer or root explorer to install the file? For example I want to change stock launcher to other launcher, but still fail until now. thanks...

It seems to be you want arc launcher,right? First, install original active launcher, then arc launcher,it will replace active and will work.
+1 When it says app not installed, try other app.
If not arc launcher, sorry for spam.

Get it from any stock based custom rom with gallery 3d (just browse the zip file, you'll see it). Place it in system/app with rw-r-r permissions and reboot.
Dunno if that app works on cm based roms though l.

gallery 3D

[Q] Help Please

Hello.
I have a KF HD that I rooted using this process. http://androidforums.com/kindle-fire-hd-all-things-root/656683-root-kindle-fire-hd-7-a.html
I am trying to install a new launcher because I dislike the stock carousel feature. I want to completely remove it and go to a stock android look.
I downloaded the go launcher hd apk and installed it on the device. I can see the icon but it will not do anything when I click on it. Can anyone please help me?
Thanks for your time

Try installing titanium backup
Then use it to make go launcher a system app
I have very little experience with go launcher,I use nova launcher myself...

In principle, to install GO Launcher EX on rooted KFHD7 you have to:
obtain .apk file
put it in the the /system/app (using ES File Explorer, for example)
change permission: user - rw, group - r, other - r
tap on .apk file in ES File Explorer and install the appication

To my opinion what is the best file explorer or file manager is dependant what you expect from it.
- For a small, fast, free and ad-free file explorer I like File Explorer by Amey Sakhadeo.
- A bit more features, nice interface and root access has the inKa File Manager. The free version is Admob supported.
- For a full fletched file manager ES and FX File Explorer are the best, IMO. Which one is a matter of taste, they are both top-notch, with more features than I care for. That is why I de-installed them after trial.

Rhythm soft file manager for me. Already have root explorer feature. Simple, clean, free and easy.
