Android Starters - a 3rd Opinion

Fond of testing out new phones? Fond of using LineageOS and other custom ROMs? Yes, me too! It can be just a pain to keep track of all those apps, so I created this list to help myself and others. I try to stay away from big companies that spy a lot and also rather tend to open source wherever possible. PS: Don't run dry - always keep looking for alternatives. Always try to have another app as fallback. As so often in life, relying solely on one single thing will bring DOOM! PS2: Still work in progress...

What is FX File Explorer?

FX File Explorer features a Material Design UI and new ways to transfer your files between devices and computers

New "FX Connect" transfers files from phone-to-phone with Wi-Fi Direct. Supports NFC to connect two phones by physically touching their backs together. (requires FX+)
New "Web Access" enables transfer and management of files and media from your computer's web browser. You can drag-and-drop entire folders to your phone from your computer, or stream your phone's music playlists to your computer over Wi-Fi. (requires FX+)

FX is a file explorer built to make working with files and media on your phone or tablet as easy as it is on your computer:

Productivity-oriented "Home Screen": Directly access your important folders, media, and cloud storage
Multiple window support, with dual-view mode to see two windows at once
"Usage View" mode shows the total size and content makeup of every folder, as you browse and manage files
Support for most file archive formats

FX protects your privacy:

No advertisements
No tracking of user activity: FX does not ever "phone home"
Built by NextApp, Inc., a US corporation founded in 2002; all proprietary code was developed in-house

The optional FX+ Add-On module enables more functionality:

Access networked computers, including FTP, SSH FTP, WebDAV, and Windows Networking (SMB1 and SMB2)
Connect to cloud storage including Google Drive, Dropbox, SugarSync, Box, SkyDrive, and OwnCloud
Manage installed applications, with support for browsing applications based on their required permissions
Create and explore inside AES-256/AES-128 encrypted zip files
