I use both Jota Text Editor and VimTouch on my phone.  They both will
navigate the full file system and open pretty much any file that has
read permission for the user.

Beware that Google's KitKat update has done some funky things with SD
cards that cause a lot of headache for users.  It's an update to file
permissions that makes the SD card a bit more difficult to use.  It
seems to be causing some issue with VimTouch but Jota appears ok.
