Duo: Holo File Manager w/ Root (DuoFM for short, formerly UNCOPT File Browser), aims to be your go-to app for everything file-related on your android device.
It is similar to Windows Explorer or Mac finder on your computer. Just like them, it can be used to access files on the device, and also to browse the files on your network or on cloud services.
DuoFM combines the features of the popular file managers (like Astro, ES Explorer, Solid Explorer, ...) and root explorers.
Its two main focus points are design and stability.
The application fits perfectly within the modern android holographic (Holo) style that was introduced with Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich or ICS). It looks and feels as if it was one of the apps bundled with the core of android, and follows Google design guidelines perfectly. At the same time, it improves on usability thanks to its innovative dual (split) navigation pane that is fully adjustable, and its navigation spinner in the action bar. DuoFM has also been optimized to adapt its layout on a tablet.
Extra attention is being placed on stability. This is about not crashing and having features that work the way you expect them to. This includes a lot of little things, such as restoring the state correctly when coming back from the background, or reacting to outside changes.
This mindset drove us to take unusual approaches to the way we implemented some of the core features. Those differences might not be noticeable at first, but they participate in making DuoFM rock solid and enable workflows that other applications don't support.
Two of those decisions stand out.
The first is that we developped a native api (in c) to query the filesystem. This allowed us to use the same highly optimized api for accessing files on user accessible storage areas (such as the sdcard) or on root-only partitions. We extended that api to enable access to archive content as if they were simple directories on the filesystem, including nested archives.
The second is that we decided to never create any intermediate copies, not on the filesystem and not in memory. We support opening / sending / copying files of any size, without requiring any space left on the internal or external storage. This is true for all directories: local, remote (over the network or in the cloud), or inside archives. We stream the data to the target directory or application.
The various storage areas (internal memory, sdcards) are automatically detected, including On-The-Go (OTG) USB attachments when available. No user specification is required.
Access to files not located on the device or its attachements is done through plugins. This separation is done to keep the main application small and to let users decide what extra feature to install. The available plugins are listed in the settings.
So far, the following plugins are available (and free):
- LAN: to give access to the local network shares (windows, SAMBA or SMB).
- Google Drive
- SkyDrive
- Dropbox
When superuser (root) is enabled, partitions can be automatically remounted in rw, and permissions (including suid, guid and sticky bits), group and owner can be changed easily.

We also have a bug tracker (no registration is required). You'll find a link to it in the settings of the app or on our webpage.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew
4 ★File management is good nd i like it
5 ★Nice & clean design
5 ★Great app
4 ★Form and function all rolled up into one. Although, there hasn't been an update... So I'm hesitant to purchase an app that doesn't see much progress. A shame if this great app goes dark, please update! Could be ALOT smoother as well.
3 ★Needs allot of optimization performance-wise (transitions lag on my Galaxy S 3) but otherwise shows allot of promise. Visually it's the best I've seen, and I actually like the whole layout and usability allot. As others have pointed out, needs better networking integration. When everything's sorted, I'd be happy to buy the add free version. Also, the app icon could be better!
4 ★This could replace ES file explorer for me, but it needs FTP and SMB support! Would buy if it was updated more frequently. Keep up the good work, it looks great!
5 ★A little laggy sometimes, but promising, I'd recommend it to anyone with a stock 4.0+ ROM. If it turns out to be usable and good in the long term (and the development won't stop) I will probably buy the paid version.
5 ★great holo file browser! but paid version is too much expensive...
4 ★This is a great Holo file manager. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find a way to send files over Bluetooth: it isn't listed in the "send to" dialog.
4 ★Cannot hide UI elements. App size not that small.
3 ★So far so good
5 ★A must try
