Руководство total commander для андроид

Рассмотрим универсальный способ, как на любом смартфоне, с любой прошивкой очистить память своего телефона от мусора.

Для этого нам потребуется приложение под названием Total Commander.

Установка и настройка Total Commander

Чтобы установить приложение заходим в Play Market. В поисковой строке вводим Total Commander и устанавливаем программу на телефон.

В правом верхнем углу нажимаем на три точки, в появившемся меню выбираем «Настройки».

Кстати!

В этом же меню можно изменить оформление темы со светлой на темную.

Ставим галочку напротив «Скрытые файлы/папки». Тем самым мы делаем эти файлы и папки «видимыми». Остальные настройки оставить без изменения.

Удаление кэша

Возвращаемся в основное меню Total Commander.

Заходим во «Внутреннюю память телефона».

Нажимаем на иконку поиска, вводим cach и запускаем поиск. Результатом поиска будет кэш всех приложений вашего телефона.

Выделяем все найденные файлы и папки.

Нажимаем на иконку «Корзины» и подтверждаем удаление.

Внимание!

Возможно, некоторые файлы будут защищены от удаления. Просто нажимаем «ОК».

Надеюсь, что данный способ будет полезен и, возможно, вы будете удивлены объемом освободившейся памяти.

Total Commander for Android is a Total Commander version for smartphones or tablets with Android.

Requirements:

Total Commander for Android also worked on the OUYA, a now discontinued microconsole. On the OUYA it showed a different user interface.

A separate android version existed for BlackBerry smartphones. Supported were a BlackBerry with BlackBerry 10 or a BlackBerry Playbook. For this android version the binary library files were left out, because they are not supported on BlackBerry. Therefore no encryption was supported on BlackBerry.

User interface

The user interface is divided into the following elements:

• The title bar, showing the number of selected and total files/folders.

Arrow button to swap panels

Equal sign button to set the same folder in the other panel as in the active panel

• A Button bar (toolbar) which contains buttons for some internal commands, but also allows to add external programs.

Plugins

Plugins can be accessed via the home screen.

• Installed Apps Plugin (preinstalled)
• FTP Plugin
• LAN Plugin

Installed Apps Plugin

The Installed Apps plugin lists all the installed third party applications

You can perform the following operations on them:

• Uninstall by selecting some apps and tapping on the delete button
• View application settings by tapping on an app
• Backup apps to SD-Card with the Copy button
• Add apps from SD-Card with the Copy button

FTP Plugin

The ftp plugin allows to make connections to ftp servers.

Tap on <New connection> to create a new connection. Then enter a connection name.
You can now specify server name and port, user, password, remote directory, commands to send on connect (separate multiple commands by a ;), server type, firewall, passive mode and file name encoding.

Connection

Tap on a connection to connect. After connecting, the packer icon will change to a connection icon. Use this icon to change the transfer mode (binary, text or automatic), and to disconnect. Only a single connection is supported at the same time per panel.

Server type

If your server isn’t detected, you can define a server type in Total Commander for Windows and import it into the Android version. To do this, open your wcx_ftp.ini, and look for a section like this:
[Unix1]
Template1=pppppppppp !S* TTT DDDDDDDD n*

Save this to a file called (in this example) Unix1.ini, transfer it to the SD-Card of your Android device, and then use the option «load detect string».

Firewall

This opens another dialog for the configuration of your firewall. All firewall types of the desktop Total Commander are supported, except for the HTTP type. Leave the user name and password fields empty if your firewall doesn’t support them. The first type is the most common, so try this first.

LAN Plugin

The LAN plugin allows to access often accessed servers in the LAN (local area network) via smb (Windows file sharing).

1. Tap on <new server>
2. Enter a name for the list, e.g. Server1
3. Enter the server name in the network

To be able to connect, you need a real LAN connection to your network (e.g. via WLAN).

Problems+Troubleshooting

Here are some known problems and possible solutions:

Q — Total Commander for Android fails to access some network shares.

A — Try to use the numeric IP address instead of the server name

Q — Total Commander for Android fails to send a file via Bluetooth on my custom ROM.

A — Some custom ROMs (e.g. Villarom 12.0.0 on HTC Hero) do not implement Bluetooth correctly. Try with a different Bluetooth program like Blueobex whether this is the case. Please contact us if other Bluetooth tools work but Total Commander doesn’t.

Tips & tricks

Settings files

Settings files (xml) are in this folder:
/data/data/com.ghisler.android.TotalCommander/shared_prefs/

If you don’t have root access:

— create a new bookmark with path /data/data/com.ghisler.android.TotalCommander, or
— create a new button of type «Change directory» with command /data/data/com.ghisler.android.TotalCommander

FTP or LAN master password reset

If you forgot FTP or LAN master password, or entered a master password by mistake, e.g. by confirming an empty password:

Go to folder /data/data/com.ghisler.android.TotalCommander/shared_prefs/ and open the file TotalCommander.xml.

The key «AESVerify» is used for the master password. You can delete that key or the entire file TotalCommander.xml. Then you have to close and re-open TC.

Deleting the file with the encrypted passwords

Go to folder /data/data/com.ghisler.android.TotalCommander/shared_prefs/ and delete the file plugin_pass_WebDAV.xml

Then you have to get Total Commander somehow out from the memory, for example with a task killer, or a reboot.

Creating FTP log file

You can create a log file to see what is going on when using FTP plugin.

1. Go to the home screen (tap on the house icon)
2. Tap on SD-Card
3. Check whether a folder .TotalCommander exists. If not, create it with «Create new folder» button.
4. Open that folder
5. Hold down your finger on the topmost line (..) until the context menu appears
6. Tap on «New text file»
7. Enter name: log.txt
8. Close Total Commander via its menu, and start it again

Writing to a protected file system

To be able to write to a protected file system like /system/app, there are three conditions:

• The file system must be read/write. To change it from read only, add a button to the button bar:

Button type: Internal command
Command: 119
The button will show «r» for read only file systems, «rw» for read+write. You can tap on it to change the state.
Note that Android uses separate file systems for some folders like /data!

• The folder in which you work must allow writing too! You can check the folder permissions by holding the finger down on the folder until the context menu appears, then open the properties.

• To modify a particular file, you need to have write rights to that file. You can check that in the properties of the file.

Quick tips

Multiple selection: To copy or move, pack or unpack, download or upload multiple files, select them by tapping on their icons.

Creating a new TXT file: Holding down «..» (parent dir) on top of the panel can create a new TXT file.

You can replace some of the default shortcuts on home screen (SD-card, Photos, Downloaded files) by holding a finger on the link until the context menu with option «Change location» appears. You can’t change the icon.
