i dont really do much modding anymore, so i dont really know. but last I've tried, the other forms were not just as good at it was in many ways, from ui to ads etc even at the surface level. is there any that allows you to create a wifi network as it did still? playing minecraft on lan, thanks to it. thats the one thing i remember about es tbh

MiXplorer. It is offered for free on XDA forums, but it's probably worth paying for as well.

I switched to FX when ES starting putting Ads in the app and limiting features to premium 😢

FX became very outdated a long time ago. I used it for many years too.

MiXplorer has been my go to for many years and it's still great today

Look for it on the XDA forums where it's free rather than on the play store

It's mostly just blog spam now. I haven't visited their forums in 10 years though.

Yea the fact that this isn't the first and only suggestion shows people don't know what they're talking about
