WOW. 3 and a half years since my last release. Had to update Target Android version or Open Explorer would get kicked off. Honestly, Android Apps have changed so much since building Open Explorer, I thought I wasn't able to update with the older methods. But I am, so maybe more will be coming!

v254 - 3/09/15
Fix Settings crash
