[ghisler(Author)]

Total Commander 2.04 public beta 2 for Android is available now!

WARNING: This is a beta version! Please make a backup of your data/SD-Card before using it!

What's new in beta 2?
- Plugins "Google drive" and "Windows Live": Could not upload directories with subdirs
- MediaPlayer: Do not stop playing, just pause, when losing the audio focus to another player
- MediaPlayer: Do not give up audio focus between tracks, only when done playing (otherwise lockscreen player misbehaves)
- Show media player controls on lock screen while playing with internal player (Android 4.0 or newer)
- Download from any plugin: Set timestamp as root when it fails with normal user rights
- Unzip, Unrar: Set timestamp as root when it fails with normal user rights
- Search dialog: On some devices, "Not older than" and "Size" checkboxes were initially checked by mistake
- Cyanogenmod 11: Copy as root from/to /storage/emulated/0 not working -> redirect to /storage/emulated/legacy
- Download+Open/Edit operations now also work in the background (switching to other app). Notification will blink to show

The plugins do not need to be updated for this beta.

Here is all the information you need to install:

The beta is not available in the play store because it's not possible to host a final version and beta version at the same time.

You can download TC from us directly and install it on your device. If this is your first installation of TC for Android, please open the "Settings" app of your Android device and go to the "Applications" page. Here you need to allow apps from "Unknown Sources".

Now there are three ways to install Total Commander for Android:

1. If you read this page on your Android device, just click on this link:
http://ghisler.com/tcbeta.apk

2. If you read this page on your PC, and have a barcode scanner app installed on your Android device, double click on the following QR code, then scan it with your phone to start the download. You can get a barcode App by searching for barcode in the market. Personally I'm using the app "Barcode Scanner" by ZXing Team, it's a very simple one, which is open source, so it should be safe.

3. Finally you can of course type in the above link by hand in the web browser of your device.

On some devices, you need to go to apps - downloads to install, clicking on the .apk in the notification area may fail.

The blackberry version has been discontinued because I cannot access my developer account. They changed the login to Blackberry ID, but login to the developer account is no longer possible.

Please post your bug reports and suggestions here in the forum!

Thanks for your help!

Best regards
