I had that installed but I used andExplorer over ES File Explorer. Now I just use Ghost Commander since I can transfer files over sftp. I still use miniNoteViewer since I still need to open those .chi files and I haven't found an alternative yet.

Did Revanced get abandoned again? I have been able to install Revanced Manager recently and it seems to work. Having to manually needing to download the youtube apk in between is annoying though

I don't think it's fully abandoned but updates seemed to have slown down significantly, things would break and they wouldn't update the patches until a month later.

You still need to download the APK but Morphe links straight to the download link on APKMirror instead of doing a Google search like Revanced. I also only update it if something breaks since the patching process takes a while.

EsPro and Swype are still unmatched even today, after many years with no updates, unfortunately they got burn by the friendly merchant and is no longer possbile to use them on latest versions.

It's still around, but the maintainer started sperging out so all the devs went to form Morphe.
Most, if not all Revanced patches are just lifted from Morphe so you're better off using it anyways.

mix's sftp isn't dog slow like solid's but has issues with symlinks
material files also has sftp support but it's buggy
personally I switched to webdav, I don't upload like ever so it works pretty well. Being basically http it works very well on mobile OS'es.
CX's webdav support works well enough and most importantly it's one of the very few apps with a working built-in image viewer. Most other explorers (including mix and solid) have this issue where full res images don't load.
