Xiaomi Explorer has become available for all Android smartphones

If you remember, a couple of months ago Xiaomi threatened to publish its standard MIUI Calculator application on the Play Store. This week, the promise was fulfilled and now the Xiaomi calculator can be used by owners of any Android smartphone. The calculator, by the way, is very good and functional.

But the other day Xiaomi published another standard application on the Play Store - Mi File Explorer. The application has a number of features and functions that are available in analogues only on a paid basis.

The application is divided into three screens: 1 - recent files, 2 - file categories (music, photos, videos, APK, archives, etc.), 3 - the explorer itself. In addition to the standard functions of viewing files, the application has a search for the drive, as well as a function for cleaning up garbage and a visualization of occupied space that is pleasing to the eye. Separately, it is worth mentioning the function of wireless file transfer using the proprietary Mi Drop service and an FTP server.

If you have a smartphone not from Xiaomi, but want such an explorer, then you have two options: • If in your region the Play Store prohibits downloading this application, then keep the link to Apkmirror . • If it is not prohibited for you, then keep the link to the Play Store .

What are Root rights and why are they needed?

The Superuser authority (one of the varieties of the name root rights) allows you to expand the capabilities of your device. When you purchase a smartphone, by default you have the access level - guest.

You can safely watch videos, listen to audio and edit some documents.

To be able to fix system documents, expand the amount of RAM, or permanently disable the loading of unnecessary extensions (or completely remove them), you will need to unlock the Superuser.

After activation, each user will be able to independently perform such tasks:

  • Remove ads from applications.
  • Get rid of unnecessary files, with deletion protection.
  • Restore the previous firmware version.
  • Completely change the design of Android (appearance). Much cooler than using ready-made themes.
  • Downgrade or overclock the processor.
  • Increase the speed of the entire system.
  • Unlock the pattern key (if you forgot it).
  • Extend the battery life from one day to two.

They are not installed initially for two reasons. First, people mistakenly make edits to the wrong files. And second, all firmware updates must be done manually using additional programs.

What was added in the latest update

The developers have fixed minor errors that could appear when copying game data from the phone’s main memory to a flash drive. New visual themes for the program and the appearance of the folders themselves have also been added.

The main bonus was the function that itself recognizes the presence of root rights on the smartphone. In the tablet version, this feature is still at the testing stage.

The library with entries about errors that may occur during data replacement has been fixed. The search system has also been simplified; now to launch it is enough to specify the name (name).

    Introduction

    The laboratory of the website Overclockers.ru pays great attention to application software, which is why you see many detailed reviews of mobile applications on our pages. And today you will find a small but very useful addition to the review of file managers for devices running Android OS.

    Some time ago, my colleague had already reviewed the file managers available at that time and compiled all his impressions into a final article, in which he briefly talked about each of the ten applications studied. But progress does not stand still; more and more new solutions are emerging that are worthy of attention.

    We will get acquainted with the minimalistic and simple file manager Xiaomi Mi Explorer, and it will be accompanied by the functional and most advanced File Commander.

    The following devices were used as test equipment:

    • Smartphone Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro (OC Android 8.1.0, Nitrogen OS, Snapdragon 650 64-bit processor, 6 x 1800 MHz, Adreno 510 video coprocessor, 2 GB RAM);

    Mi Explorer

    Acquaintance

    Almost everyone who has ever held a smartphone with the Miui shell in their hands noted not only its excellent performance, but also its polished software.

    The same “dialer”, notepad and explorer, many even installed these applications separately from the forums. Now the need for this has completely disappeared, because some applications have appeared on Google Play, like our favorite file manager Mi Explorer.

    Key features of Mi Explorer app:

    • Recent: View files you have worked with recently.
    • Categories: Divides files into categories by format. From here you can access frequently used applications.
    • Storage: View your storage information and manage all folders on your device.
    • Cleanup: Free up space on your device by deleting cache and unnecessary files.
    • Mi Drop: Share files with friends nearby without an Internet connection.
    • Full search: find files using keywords.
    • Supports multiple formats: open videos, music, text documents, APK files and unpack archives with just one click.
    • File compression: working with ZIP/RAR archives.
    • Manage groups of files: select multiple files to perform the same operation.

    Beginning of work

    The Mi Explorer file manager is designed in a minimalist style, its design is dominated by light colors and a minimum number of elements. And all of the above combines perfectly in practice not only with Miui, but also with the “bare” Android operating system.

    The main screen of Mi Explorer is designed for recent files, which are sorted by newness. We can immediately see where a particular file was received from and what application it belongs to, and upon closer examination, we can open the file itself and find out the exact date of its creation.

    Unfortunately, this file manager does not have a built-in gallery, media player or other applications.

    By the way, I really liked how the utility notifies us about new files.

    On another home screen, you can view files by individual type and navigate to frequently used folders, such as Downloads, Camera, or Bluetooth.

    Instructions for use on tablets and smartphones

    Working with Root Explorer on smartphones and tablets is easy:

    • First you need to install the application.
    • Find the system/app folder in the device memory.
    • To delete files you will need to: hold the shortcut for a few seconds until a menu appears and select “Delete”.
    • Check the box for all required files.

    You can download the application from Google Play or from the official website. The apk file must be placed in the /system folder.

    File Manager ZenUI

    Many smartphone manufacturers strive to equip their gadgets with proprietary software. The ASUS software division produces quite worthy applications that appeal not only to fans of this brand. Their file manager attracts primarily with its pleasant modern interface and speed of operation. However, under the beautiful shell hides a fairly powerful program that can copy, move, create files and folders, manage cloud storage, work with archives, analyze memory usage, and much more.
