On the alarm clock if I want to pick music it uses the android music browser, no folders, one long scrollable list.
If I use a 3rd party clock, I get 3 browsers, all long list with no folders. Google Music (Golden Headphone icon), Android chooser (Music Note), and one I installed, Ringdroid (still 1 long list)
Anyone know of one thats shows folders and not 1 directory with thousands of songs.
Thanks!
ES explorer!

ES file explorer*
Not a file explorer, but a program that hooks into the file chooser. Its almost like in windows when you associate an action with a program, but in android.
How when you want to send a file, facebook, etc is an option.

Hi,
I have a ton of mp3 folders neatly organized on my GS2 and sometimes when I have people over I´d like to simply share a playlist that I´ve created on a folder. Is there an app that lets me do that? So far I´ve only found apps that allow you share files by manually selecting each file...which would mean having to select each song one after the last one ended.
WiFi File explorer lets you share any number of files/folders. You just type an IP address in any browser window.

On mac, I use an app called "FileShuttle" that lets me drag files onto it on my dock and it would create a random name (normally a bunch of numbers) for my file (to avoid file name conflicts) before uploading it to my own FTP server. So for example, when I drag my sample.jpg into FileShuttle, it would be called 4283748013.jpg instead.
I want to now if there's an app like that for Android, only, instead of having to drag and drop, I want to use the built-in "share" functionality in Android so along with Facebook, Twitter, Dropbox, etc, I want to have an option to "Upload to FTP" or "Share with FTP" with the file file still being randomly named. After uploading, the path to the file (which I'll define) should be copied to the clipboard, ready for pasting.
Anyone know of such an app?

Desktop to Phone Data Transfer (install on phone and chrome as an extension; allows you to copy and paste things back and forth between devices). Has ads so use adaway or whatever.
App Dialer (T9 Search, I put the widget on my home screen, I haven't accessed my app drawer since, I rarely buy apps, but I ended up buying pro because I loved it so much). Go in settings to switch from QWERTY to T9. Even if you don't remember the app's name and remember a part of it, it'll give it to you as a result. For example typing in Games will give you the "Play Games" app as a result too)
Waze (better than Maps since it lets me know if cops are around, finds quicker routes by taking small roads that Maps overlooks)
Buttons Remapper (I like hardware buttons and I like changing what they do rather than default, changes actions based on short press, long press, double tap)
Web Video Caster (chromecast any video from any site)
Friendly (Facebook + Messenger in one app, and it is really small in size with ad block features, and fewer privacy concerns)
Es file manager
Apex luncher
Spotify and Netflix must be on my phone at all cost
Fx File explorer
KLWP
NOVA launcher
Titanium Backup
QuickPic
Without these i can't even use my android
Gmail, Linkedin, YouTube.
PlusPrivacy
The best app in my mobile is PlusePrivacy because is a free app who provides me a unified dashboard for protecting myself from a variety of threats to my privacy. It enable me to control the privacy settings in my social network accounts, hide my email identity, block ads, trackers and malware and prevent unwanted apps and browser extensions from tracking me and collecting me private data.
It's a great app!!! I recommend it!!!!:

Using a Moto G Play (2021) Android 10-11 here but this applies to many new phones who's company transitions their stock documents, gallery, etc apps into third party ones such as "Files by Google" or the like.
Though, each time I want to choose a file when using another app, the stock Files application opens up after disabling "Files by Google" meaning the stock documents app is still there.
I want to know if there's a way to have it so I can pull the original Files app as a usable and standalone app on my home screen rather than finding a document managing app on Google Play.
The original DocumentsUIGoogle.apk is shown in the phone's app storage but it's not shown as it's own application where one could simply add as an app in their home screen.
