This is Android Counterpart of Notepad++. Droidedit search Play Store.
I use it for coding, however I am 100% sure it will do your job.
Also it has more features than ordinary notepad.
(All features of MS Notepad + Extra features).
Press Thanks if helped.
thank you, I would give it a try, but you didn't include the name of the app...
There is DroidEdit Free which also has a cheap pro version. It more similar to notepad++ though.:laugh:

but, as u just require a txt file editor, I'll strongly recommend Xplore

However Tillanosoft's cannot open files larger than 300kb.. Which actualy sucks and I don't see any use for it then (and better not talking about their tgetfile). I can open files up to 100kb and more in PocketIE...

Neither Orneta Notepad is perfect. If I choose go to the end of cca 300 kB TXT document, it just dont do anything. It sucks. Have to use Documents To Go for editing these larger files.
Yeah it sucks. I just need to open and not edit the document (Notepad x Lister in Windows XP). But like in Windows, it opens for editing... So I also have to use DTG for opening larger text files...

I made an easy way of replacing the SPB Contacts app in Mobile Shell 2 with your own prefered application. Once you create a shortcut you can switch between the default Mobile Shell Contacts and any application of your choosing.
I made it as simple as possible to add your prefered Contacts Manager, I use Finger Friendly, my friend uses iContact, and PocketCM seems quite popular here. As downloaded, the script is setup for Finger-Friendly Friends, but to change it all you have to do is edit the first 2 lines with a text editor.
For use with SPB Mobile Shell 2 only, for Windows Mobile support see this thread.
MortScript is requied, download it here.
I hope you find this useful!
To use:
1. Download and unpack the ZIP file.
2. Edit the first 2 lines in the MSCR file, notepad works fine for this.
set AltContactName, "Finger Friendly Friends"
set AltContactPath, "\Program Files\Finger-Friendly Friends\FingerFriendlyFriends.exe"
3. Copy to your device, and make a shortcut in the Mobile Shell Launcher (I placed it in "TOOLS")
4. Click the shortcut and answer the "Yes or No" question.
5. Repeat step 4 to swap between the two contact managers!
Nice, was looking for something like this. Using it with PocketCM and works great
Works great, also use it with PocketCM

what's the exact command to get it to work with pocketcm?
this is what i tried:
Code:
set AltContactName, "Pocket CM"
set AltContactPath, "\Program Files\PocketCM\PocketCM.exe"
and it didn't work.
thanks!
I have been using 3 speed dial pages for a while and have decided I don't like it anymore...
Instead I'd like the contacts tab button to start my default contact manager - Pocket Informant - since it easier to read, finger friendly, and uses categories. Will this ever be possible you think?

Unfortunately this is not possible, yet, this would take a major hack of the shell program itself.

I'm not sure what that actual path should be, as I don't use pocket CM, but please verify your path.
If the scripting does not work on your device, I appologize, it is possible your registry varies from the common windows mobile settings, and is appearently device specific.
This one works great. ANyone know where I can get the black theme like this one?

I have reserched this and determined that changining "NOW" screen links is not possible at this time, you could create short cuts in the customizable "My Menu" though.
Hey NiteStalker, great script! Works perfect.
Would you (or anyone) know of a way to use MortScript to have the Mobile Shell email icon open up a different app (Flexmail in this case)?
Thanks again.

NOW SCREEN support is not currently possible, as this would require a major hack of the Shell Program itself, I am not skilled in that and it would most likely violate licensing anyway. I have searched the registry, and disected the "XML" files, and determined "Now Screen" support will not become available with the the current version of Shell. My appologies.
Works flawlessly with MS 2.1. Just the thing I was looking for, thanks!

You can run it from any folder you want, just make sure you've installed mortscript first.
The Android OS (latest release 4.0.3 and all previous releases) is missing an important function which is found on a Windows PC. That is creating a shortcut on the Home Screen/Desktop pointing to a folder or a file. A shortcut enables a single press or mouse click to open a folder containing many files organized for a specific purpose. Without a shortcut function in the Android OS, you must open a File Manager app and then manually search for the folder or file that you want. This can be a frustrating process every time you want to open something.
The most common shortcut found on a Windows PC is for My Documents. Another shortcut many folks create is for a specific folder or file for a job/project.
The following process can be used on an Android phone or tablet.
I have found two FREE apps in the Market that will create a shortcut on the desktop. The first one is Linda File Manager which can be found here:
https://market.android.com/details?...xLDEsImNvbS5saW5kYWFuZG55LmxpbmRhbWFuYWdlciJd
In my example I will create a shortcut on the desktop for a folder called DOCUMENTS. The steps to create a shortcut for a folder are:
1. Open Linda File Manager. Notice the default directory which is /mnt/sdcard. If you wish to create a shortcut to an external storage you must change the path to /Removable (for ICS).
2. Long Press the folder that you want to create the shortcut for. In my example DOCUMENTS.
3. A popup menu will appear. Select Create shortcut. It’s that simple.
The second app that I found that will create a short on the desktop is File Expert. This FREE app can be found here in the Market:
https://market.android.com/details?...t#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsInhjeGluLmZpbGV4cGVydCJd
In my example I will create a shortcut on the desktop for a folder called DOCUMENTS. The steps to create a shortcut for a folder are:
1. Open File Expert. Notice the default directory which is /mnt/sdcard. If you wish to create a shortcut to an external storage you must change the path to /Removable (for ICS).
2. Long Press the folder that you want to create the shortcut for. In my example DOCUMENTS.
3. A popup menu will appear. Select MORE. Next select Create shortcut on Desktop.
I am sure there are other apps that can do a similar function but I am not aware of them.
works in ES file explorer in the same way. Just go the the folder you want to create the shortcut to and long press.
Or Astro....works quite well too....
Thanks for the thread. I didn't realize there was the ability to do this. I use root explorer but cannot find a way with that program so I guess I will be using something else.

HD File Manager also does the same. I believe it is better suited for a tablet screen as well. Makes good use of the space and a lot of great functionality.

Androids designers did kinda have a desire for looking at the file system to be kept to a minimum for users. That's why you see a file manager in Cyanogen Mod but not AOSP.
And ASUS gave us one with missing features lol.

I prefer File Manager HD (Honeycomb) for ALL of my file management stuff. It has an excellent BOOKMARKS section which allows me to point to my custom directories.
I am using the Linda File Manager ONLY to create shortcuts on the home screen.
Is there a way to make shortcut for a lan share?
+1 for ES File explorer
How do people make a shortcut to a file on their Desktop using ES File Explorer when using sftp or Windows share. Everyone seems to thinks it works just fine. The only thing I know to do is make folder shortcut.. which isnt what I want.
I didn't know that.
I am going to test it.
Thanks

I see that it says it's capable of doing it in the description, but for the life of me I can't figure it out. With ES it was so simple, I don't mind a little work, and I really enjoy CM other software. I would be so thankful If you could explain this process to me. Also, does it add it to the home page of the CM launcher? I would imagine they work together, I've got the cleaner, the battery doctor, security, the browser, the launcher(testing), and everything else is seamless. I really appreciate the help, I feel really stupid for not figuring it out.
Edit: I might have it, adding the PDF files as bookmarks, is that it? Where are the bookmarks now? Also, if any of that other software is pointless let me know? Thanks again!
Just for S&G I have a ZTE Zmax with KitKat 4.4.4

With ES all you have to do is long press the file you want, then when the options come up select more(bottom right side I think) and the is a choice to add to desktop. From there you can move that icon to any of your desktop screens. Hope that helps!
Is there anyway to convert the files from png to jpg? I've tried renaming it, but it can't load, and izzit possible to change the default screen shots to jpg files instead?

You cannot convert file format by simply changing extension. It will not change the file itself, only the name. If you are a Windows user you can simply get Picasa from Google (it’s free) or any other of a whole bunch of free picture managers and/or editors and convert all you want. Even basic Paint has an option to “Save as…” and you can choose a format. But you have to convert, not only rename the file.

I found "File Converter Free" at Play Store. But it will upload your file to cloud, convert it and download back to phone. I do not like this kind of solutions to be honest. And I haven’t found any software that would do the conversion on the phone. Sorry

So here is the thing, my so LOVES minecraft and I turned a creative land to a survival one on his tablet.
He thought that was so cool but then was quick to ask "why when I make a change in one won't it make the change in the other".
Well I thought about it and it would be a simple matter of syncing the one file to both folders..
So is there an app for that ?

That would make two folders appear as one by pointing folder a at folder b.

Exactly. It works the same with files as well. You can create a symlink to a file in a folder, so when changes are made to the file in folder A, they are reflected in the file of folder B. It's basically the same file, but accessible from both folders. Each person would be able to make changes to that single file.
On the other hand, if you want just want a copy of the file that is completely independent of the changes made by the other user, then the Dropbox tutorial would probably be better suited...or you could just copy the file.
