Thx .

Yep. Better than ES ever was. Love the landscape feature on my tablet too.

I've been using Solid Explorer after ES went to shyte

While I (oh so) feel the pain with the ...ugly, my killer use is for multi-account Dropbox and Google Drive accounts - I'm logged into two of each. From what I've managed to find in Solid Explorer reviews I've not yet found that capability - could you check and confirm please?

When I last used WhatsApp on my old device. A message would appear and I'd click reply without going into WhatsApp. Now I see the notification, but now I have have to perform the arduous task of going into WhatsApp and replying from there. Any app I can use to reply from notification?

I know you have solved this, but:
What phone do you have? You can't hit reply right from the notification? What android version you running?

Anyone know if the Firefox Search widget can be themed or replaced with a dark one for the same Firefox widget functionality.

I do not want Google Search, because it hijack/takeback my long press Home button that Screenshot Assistant use.

Edit: or a shortcut to launch Firefox Search

I've tried Alfred. Video quality is terrible. So I installed At Home. Excellent video quality.

Is there a way Solid Explorer can show me 'all' videos/pics /whatever file type, the way your gallery does?

NAFC, I've had it on my phone for all of like three hours ...and had to go to that site just to work out getting access to my cloud accounts.

That said, it looks like when you're on the 'home'/"My Files" screen, tap the three horizontal lines on the top left and go down to the Collections section - it has presets for photos/music/videos/apps. Else I've just seen that going via the magnifying glass icon at top right allows you to select for file type/size by way of a three vertical dots option after you tap ...that help/what you're looking for?

Collections on the left main swipe out menu, scroll down a bit.

How do I search through this thread?

I want a weather app that is applicable to SA and which has synoptic charts, satellite, unobtrusive advertising (if any), etc.

I doubt that I'm the first to need this and this 50 page (and counting) probably has severa pages covering this already.

If there is a way of searching the thread, perhaps the OP (or a mod) could put it in the opening post? A link to any such discussions would be appreciated; either on thread searching or weather apps, or both.

Or, if no such topic exists, a recommendation.
