[Bug 903422] Re: Mount / Provide access to Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich, ICS) MTP devices

[traverlaw]

Andre asked, "@traverlaw Did you try to follow the tutorial at "OMG!
Ubuntu" which is linked in the bug description?"

Yes I did try it, several times, in many different versions as found on
the web, and it does not work.  I also upgraded via compiling to
libmtp-1.1.1 and it still did not work.  File access to a Galaxy Nexus
via Linux should be an easy plug-in-the-phone treat, not requiring hours
of searching the web, compiling new packages, editing files, and
manually mounting and unmouting.  When finally able to get to the files
with the new lebmtp, they could be seen, but not accessed.  Picutres
would not show, music would not play.  It was, from the user
perspective, a wild goose chase that led to nothing.  Android, it
appears, is leaving Linux behind, and that is a very bad thing for
Linux.

  Mount / Provide access to Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich, ICS) MTP
  devices

Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Android 4 will not support anymore usb mass-storage protocol. However,
  there is an easy way to access the files on such devices for advanced
  users using mtp-tools and adjusted udev-rules:
  http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/how-to-connect-your-android-ice-
  cream-sandwich-phone-to-ubuntu-for-file-access/ . Ubuntu Precise
  Pangolin (12.04) should be prepared for Android ICS devices and grant
  easy access to music and pictures and other files to all users.
