I honestly didn’t even notice that, it still works perfectly fine. I just looked at the repo and it seems like the developer is technically still working on it but very rarely. There just haven’t been enough changes for a new release.
This is the only one I like. I think it’s done right under the hood. Good balance between features and looks like stock, without being too overloaded with options. It hasn’t been updated in a while, though nothing seems broken AFAIK.
I like it. It supports hosting a ftp server and automatically finding SMB servers in the local network. This is the first file manager I’ve found that does these two things. But no app management unfortunately.
Thanks!
I mean, you can click an .apk to run it with the installer (of choice even). That’s all the file management part. Next you want it to also manage your photos, play videos?
I don’t mean installing apps, I mean viewing installed apps and being able to extract apks from them by “copying” them to a folder, as well as some other things.
It is thr best bur on grapheneos, only the file manager from grapheneos has full access. I had to switch between file managers and one day I gave up. I only use the built-in one …
I use it for nextcloud/webdav and accessing the data storage folder of gpslogger which was historically in the android/data folder.
Edit: it’s still forbidden to access android/data … they introduced that “security/privacy” features 1-2 years ago when they also forbid to us ethe Downloads folder directly for provacy reasons
I use Material Files
No update since 2024. It it abandoned?

You want an app manager, not a file manager.
Having it built in tha file manager is very convenient for me. I’ve been using it this way in X-plore for ages.
Nice, even WebDAV support

I use GrapheneOS too and I don’t have this issue. Did you give it the right permission?
Maybe I should have a look again?

IIRC there’s a special setting to give it full access that you actually have to go into settings to add (you can’t just add it from the prompts).
I can’t find anything
