Developer's note:
I proud to be here to release Xplora 2, it's a long time since Xplora 1.8 was released just because I've thought to leave the project, not because I don't like it but because I've not enough time to work on it anyway here we are.
Xplora 2 is not just an updated version of Xplora 1.8 but a completely new application. This shell is conceived not to be "another" shell but something that was anything but similar to the others.
Xplora 2 is writed entirely in C to make the app as dinamical and fast as possible. Every part of code is writted by my own, I've not copied any code for other applications (exeption made by some examples for ME Mp3 playing etc...)
The project are very big and the work I've done on it is awesome, it's almost 2 years I'm working on it, not continuously but something similar.
I'll also release an sdk to build application for Xplora 2 using all the Xplora libraries, any application is very simple to write with the Xplora Sdk as well as integrate the Xplora FileManager, as soon as I can I'll upload a complete tutorial and the SDK to give devs a good reference!!!
