1. (I understand the spellchecker gets in the way of coding, but the user can easily switch to pecking any time.)It's easy to use (if a bit dated), and does work well, but lacks any kind of power tools (jump to next dword, hex calculator, etc.). It's suitable for some basic hacking (provided you know which address you're looking for), but doing any kind of meaningful debug/reverse engineering work, then look elsewhere.Useful app but there're quite much problems.
2. First, there are two paths by default, 'internal' and 'external' where internal means the root folder and external means phone storage, which doesn't make any sense since my phone is not rooted and cannot access the root folder.
3. But you can always use Total Commander to move files to internal storage, and open them by choosing 'external' in open file function.So I used it for modding btl files which use hex.
4. Second, even by manually adding SD card by pressing '+' button at the bottom, if I select any file in SD card, it says "Permission denied".Any app from Internal mem can be Opened with Hex editor.
5. Another bjg disadvantage is that you have to go each time to the directory to open the file, I'm sorry but it's not worth itAfter opening three files it will only let you see the two side panes - offset and ASCII data - unless you upgrade.
6. Again, the app has storage & sdcard access per android's app settings.One problem, app does not hook into Android permissions for access to external sd card.
7. But File manager in Hex editor cannot browse through Internal memory: "Open directory failed.
8. It's a problem on new phones coming with only Internal mem, without support for SD cardsDespite giving permission to storage, in the app, the sdcard does not show up.
9. However finding a specific hex fragment, it returns a few results, but keeps cycling to only some of them, I found the fragment I was looking for by using another program and I did find it here using offset, yet still not appearing on search results.
10. Been using Hexedit to do it on my desk for years but now I can do it on my phone! It would be nice to not disable the swiping ability from the keyboard (GBoard in my case) as it's kind of painful to peck out the scripts.
11. I could then see the files, but when I open any file I get a permissions error.
