Why does FX require each of its various Android permissions?
FX requires the following permissions:

• Prevent Phone from Sleeping: Required to allow file transfers to occur in the background while the device is in a partial sleep state (e.g., when the screen is powered down). FX will only make use of this permission while a requested file transfer is in progress. Once file transfers have completed or been canceled, the device will be allowed to fully sleep.
• Modify/Delete SD Card Contents: This permission is required for basic file management functions.
• Full Internet Access: This permission is required to transfer files over any network (LAN or Internet).
• View Network State and View Wi-Fi State: Required for networking features. FX uses this permission to display the state of the phone/device's network connectivity.
• Change Wi-Fi State: FX provides the ability to turn Wi-Fi on and off from within its network screens. This permission is required to do so.
• Change Wi-Fi Multicast State: FX uses this permission in order to find local FTP and SSH network servers using Multicast DNS Service Discovery. Multicast DNS Service Discovery is performed when you press the "Browse" button when adding/editing an FTP or SSH host while connected to a Wi-Fi/Ethernet network.
• Create Bluetooth Connections and Bluetooth Administration: These permissions are required to allow you to pair Bluetooth devices from within FX before performing file transfers over Bluetooth.
• Kill Background Processes: This permission is required for FX's Bluetooth OBEX Push Server to operate. If you elect to use this feature, the FX Push Server must first request that any proprietary/built-in Bluetooth OBEX Push Server stop operating.
• Set Wallpaper: FX allows you set your home screen wallpaper from the FX Image Viewer.
• Modify Global System Settings: This permission is required to enable you to set your default ringtone, notification, and alarm sounds from within FX.
• Install Shortcuts: This permission allows you to bookmark locations in FX and add them to your Android home screen. This is never done automatically, but only at your request. To create an Android home-screen shortcut, go to the location, tap the "Tools" menu, select "Bookmark", and select "Homescreen Launcher Shortcut" in the "type" field.

What versions of Android are supported?
FX requires at least Android 2.1 (Eclair). All versions thereafter are supported, including Froyo (2.2), Gingerbread (2.3), Honeycomb (3.x), and Ice Cream Sandwich (4.x).

How do I quit FX?
To leave FX, tap the "Home" button on your device or double-tap the "Back" button from the home screen. Like all properly written Android applications, this will NOT forcibly terminate the app. Please see How do I "Quit" an Android App? for a detailed explanation of why this is the case.
