MIUI File Manager - working on other AOSP ROMs?

Hi people, i hope you understand what I'm trying to say here
If you ever tried MIUI i think you were amazed by the File Manager pre-installed on it. I simply love it and I think MIUI is very nice ROM but it has a few bugs and it's missing some things that AOSP ROMs (like GingerVillain that I'm currently using) have...
But other AOSP ROMs don't have such excellent File Manager that MIUI has.
I'd like to see MIUI FM installed on my Desire (running GingerVillain ATM) but I don't know how to install it...
I tried extracting FileManager.apk from XJs MIUI and installing it, but it doesn't install.
Then I copied FileManager.apk inside GingerVillain installation .zip and flashing it. FileManager is installed, but i get FCs when I try to run it...
So, can someone 'port' MIUIs FileManager to other AOSP ROMs?
Or at least explain why not...

Anyone? Anything?

Try using root explorer to place it in system/app.
Thank me if i helped!

It works with MIUI framework only. If you need a good file manager, Ghost Commander is awesome.

there is always Root Explorer

any updates on this one?
the advantage of MIUI file explorer is transferring files via wifi. And I need this.

I use Samba file share for WiFi file management. 'bout the same just that it's not as fancy. Works great though.

I've Looked at many options and posts about this and so far as i understand it's not possible unless you are running on MIUI already due to missing Lib that you can't get due to MIUI being closed source.
But there is good news i found an app called star high speed file explorer that is basicly a clone of the miui without the FTP option

I use ES file explorer. I can connect to my NAS or any windows computer on my home Wifi network.

This does not have root !

ES explorer has rot? this option is experimental, but works fine for me.

If you like MIUI, why switch to another ROM?

I like ES File Explorer. I love it. The only problem is that it LAGS LIKE HELL when scrolling, at least on Sense ROMs (EVO 3D here).

Thank you for research . I was looking for a file explorer like Miui. This one is great !

I've moved from MIUI and miss the file manager.
In the reviews someone states this app sends text messages to international countries? The permissions for the app look dodgy too:
This application has access to the following:
Services that cost you money:
send SMS messages
Your messages:
read SMS or MMS
Network communication:
full Internet access
Your personal information:
read sensitive log data
Phone calls:
read phone state and identity
Storage:
modify/delete USB storage contents modify/delete SD card contents
System tools:
change network connectivity,
retrieve running applications,
mount and unmount filesystems,
make application always run,
prevent device from sleeping
Hide
Network communication:
view network state,
view Wi-Fi state
System tools:
kill background processes,
kill background processes,
force stop other applications,
automatically start at boot,
set wallpaper
Default:
delete applications
Any opinions?

Unable to download anything using Dolphin/Stock Browser

I am Unable to download anything using Dolphin/Stock browsers. When i click on download it saves html file. What shld i do to rectify the problem?

Same problem here, still looking for an answer.

I never had this problem. In fact, the file that i download using stock browser shows up under the downloads app. What type of file are you downloading?

If it helps, I'm not having this problem at all with Dolphin HD or the stock browser. Let me know if you want to compare stuff (settings, configs, apps, etc.)...?

I haven't tried this on the Acer, but I had the same problem with my Droid x at first.
Go to the market and download "Download All Files". On the Droid, this is a browser addon for stock. Try to install it, launch it, then try the browser again. You might have to kill the process first aafter installing it.
I'm going to test it now for myself.

Download problems
Do you have 'Unknown Sources' checked in Settings-Applications? If not, you won't be able to do it.

Download mp3/apk from website

hi all, im using samsung galaxy sl.
i wan to download mp3 from mp3.sogou.com.
when i click the download button in the download page, i only manage to download the html of that page but not the mp3, so i wonder what is the problem....
i try to download apk from some website too, same thing happen.
the file showed to be download is .apk, but when downloading, it is .html.
when done, i open it, it is the html of the page that contains the download.
is there anyway to download mp3/apk from website (through internet)?

Try opera mobile or install "download all files" from the market.

''musicbox turkce'' apk downloads mp3 songs..try it

I'm not 100% sure if this works, but download astro file manager, free from the market...go to options/preferences and there is an option to download all file types, select that and see how it goes...

Opera mobile is cool! thanks...

dolphin browser hd runs flawesly too

Or you could choose to purchase music, downloading from these sites is illegal.

[Q] (Q) Downloadihg any files

Seems the stock browse is unable to download for example .EXE-files. Inalso tried Download all files from market, as well as Astro file managers downloader function, but nothing worked. Any solutions?

I asked.this same question in the EVO 3d forums. No answers yet. Someone suggested opera mobile but I would rather use the stock browser

Any ideas? Extremenly annoying to use computer just because i cant download the file i need... Would make my iconia so much more usefull as tool.

How to use Mega to download without the App

Many people including me have tried to download something from the Mega host, just to run into troubles, and if you are like me, you dont want to install the app...
I found a little trick i thought i'd share, hopefully its the right place to share it.
When you run into a thread that has a link to Mega, you are normally greeted with the nice Mega App redirect page. To get around this:
1) Change your browser to Desktop mode on the current page you are on, not on the Mega redirect page.
2) Most importantly, tap and hold the download link and copy the link address.
3) Paste the link address into your current desktop viewed tab, and go.
You should now be able to get to the actual download without the app and/or fuss.
Cheers!

Thank you for sharing this it was kind of hard to figure out and it was annoying to have their ad for the app always appearing.

Awesome! Now do you know how to get the browser to open tabs in the background?

The app doesn't support downloading from folders anyway. So your method is still the best bet even if the app is installed. I should also mention that this method works with the stock browser I couldn't get it to work with Dolphin.

You can try entering this into your browser- i didnt have to touch anything once i hit enter., just paste the link and go. Afterwords, try tapping and holding a link, open in new tab, and it should open in the background.

Thanks for the help. It didn't work. I exited the browser (cause the Relaunch Browser button on the bottom didn't work), but still, tabs open in foreground. Weird that this is not an option. (BTW I'm using the built in brower)

Seems it's not working anymore with stock browser under CM12.1

Just curious, why not just install the app? It is IMO one of the best cloud storage/file sharing services you can use, way better than dropbox or box. Would love to understand why people don't use it.

Because it's slow, it downloads to a cloud 1st then to my phone and never allows me to use download booster so that's it in a nutshell for me anyways

Seems that Mega does no more allow uploading img files
I usually upload stock e.g. boot img, recovery.img, persist.img whenever I switch or update the ROM (used to do it on several devices and never had problems)
Yesterday I wanted again but it didn't upload. Then I tested:
- same img files that I uploaded with no problems time ago to Mega, but now uploading to another folder on Mega
- by renaming img files to bin files
- I even downgraded from the recent Mega 4.3 apk to 4.2.2 (because the last time, two weeks ago I successfully uploaded two img files and I checked now that Mega 4.3 apk was updated afterwards, just few days ago)
But no avail
I can upload my stock or Android patched boot images but ONLY if I ZIP them
However, I checked with a TWRP img file (for flashing TWRP) and it worked
Also, all my img files that were previously uploaded to Mega are still there and can be downloaded
I'm an old Mega user, with 50 GB limit, and I have 26 GB of free space (boot images are about 20 MB each), hence there is no lack of space problem - btw, I just uploaded an even bigger zip file with no problem
