Hi my New x8 came with Application Installer v2.1.2 (2010), what is currently the best Application Installer I should use ? what software should I use for SD Browser & for task manager ?
root exppoler for browse folder and installer,, dont know bout task manager.. not use that thing till now..
ES Explorer (for your stock rom) and System Tool for task manager
Is there an app that will only allow to browse the SD card ? the apps you all suggested are superb but very dangerous also.
not really dangerous if you know how to use it
I'm scared of the fact that someone could accidentally delete system files with their itchy hand's.
I use Advanced Task Killer it's very simple and easy to hand.
I use Root Explorer too, but I think that ASTRO File Manager is good for unroot X8 I am not sure I just know that it is one of the most loaded File Manager.
And a secruity app is also important. I use Lookout.
i think the most important app is Applanet, with this you can download almost all apps FREE!
So in this app you can search all filemanager and you can try it which is the perfect for you.
Best regards

Sorry, I mistyped the "SystemPanel" app as System Tool... But "Advanced Task Killer" free, is very good for freeing RAM like jantheg suggested.
As for "ES Explorer" If u dont check the root option and the Mount System as RW option then u wont delete something important 'cause u won't able to...
I liked "Ghost Commander" as file browser before rooting the phone

But Applanet is illegale, because you can download copyrighted Apps for free so if you don't have problems with this you can use it.
use OI File Manager .its very simple and is not Dangerous
for task manager use Android assistant(it have a file manager included)

Pardon me but I have been searching and searching for this small bit of info.
But where exactly are Market apps installed to on the G1? What directory are they in. I have an official R30 phone so I am locked out of browsing my folder structure.

You can browse your locked RC30/RC8 phone with the stellar app "astro" from the marketplace, it has many features that you might come to appreciate. Using it you will see a directory with lots of numbers, those are the apps. (sorry not looking at it right now to give specific directions but it is easy to find.)

hey demon,
you think astro is better than android file manager? before android manager was the best but now is astro better? any comparisons to pit one against the other. (P.S. I've been using android file manager)

I like astro much more, the backup function in particular. Basically, astro covers all the parts I need and the interface/customizations are really well done.

Apps are installed into /data/app and their data is stored in /data/data. The name of the apk is its Java package name. So for example, the name of the telephony application is com.android.phone, so the full path to the apk would be /data/app/com.android.phone.apk and the data would be stored in /data/data/com.android.phone/
i like astro much more, it used to be called 'bender' and at that time Android File Manager, now called Linda file manager or something(i think google's coming out with an 'android file manager' so they made them change the name) was much better
theres lot of improvements in Astro Particularly the App back up functionality, used to have to us terminal emulator. also, it has a shortcut utility that lets you make a shortcut to any file and put it on the desktop.
I was trying to use Astro to find locations of caches to redirect them to the SD card since reading through lists in the terminal emulator is a pain. However, when I open the /data folder, using Astro, it shows as empty. Are the contents of this folder somehow hidden? If so, is there any way I can unhide them to Astro? I can pull of a list in the terminal emulator, so I know they are here. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.

Data directories have permision for her own app, so you must launch astro with root privileges or you wouldn't see nothing. (try in the terminal without root and you will see what happen if you are not root)

Search for 'move to SD'.
Search the Market for App 2 SD
App to sd opened up about 25% more memory. Thanks guys
You can also try Darktremor a2sd script. It should allow you to move not only apps that can be moved to SD card but every apps along with the dolvik cache and user data files.
I haven't tried it on my HD2 yet and I know its still in beta, so I can't guarantee you whether it will work or not. But at least it worth a try. If u wanna try it do a nandroid backup first, just in case it mess something...

Thanks, i wish there was a way to delete unused stock apps. For example...i dont use facebook or twitter so y have it. That would free up room too.....i'll ride with app2sd for now til something else pops up later.

You can delete unused stock apps by purchasing an app called 'Root Explorer' from the market (or install any root-enabled file explorer really, i just like root explorer the best lol) and delete the .apk file of whatever app you don't want from /system/app directory of your phone. If your rom loads the system to ram memory, you also will have to delete the .apk from /system/ram/app directory or it will re-appear

I got root explore and did the following. clicked on root explorer then went into sysytem then app and deleted the facebook and twitter apk. They still appear in my apps though. Is there something elseim supposed to do?
Still no instructions on how to delete stock apps via root explorer? I found this on the thread to my rom but dont know how to install it. I got it on my desktop but now what?Can anyone help?
If you wish to gain an additional 27MB for apps in /data/ you can install the my new partition layout MAX[Build.v1.1.7]. This is NOT required and you can use any of my other partition layouts with build v1.1.7. However if MAX[v1.1.7] partition layout is used with older builds your Phone will not boot. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

close thread, theres no best file manager, please close thread!
I think "File Expert" is pretty awsome.
It has a built-in ftp and smb server.
It is a root explorer.
You can open files with every app you want to open it!
Just give it a try

Download "App Backup & Restore App" From Google Play And Backup All Apps To Your Sdcard And Check The Backup Folder ..All Installed Apk Files Will Be Seen..Or
Check /data/app For Apps Installed In Internal Memory And
check /mnt/asec For Apps That Are Installed In SD Card..
Easy Way To Check These Folders Is To Download "Root Explorer" From Google Play..

To Use Root Explorer You Need To Root Your Device..But Rooting Is Not Required For "App Backup & Restore" App...Hit Thanx
