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

[Lox]

That isn't true that "Android 4 will not support anymore usb mass-
storage protocol" it is up to device maker to provide sdcard slots or
"internal sdcard". In that case mass storage will be available.

But more devices do not have sdcard support or sdcard like internal
memory. So, those are only accessible using the MTP protocol which needs
to be implemented in GVFS to automatically mount in .gvfs users folders.

** Summary changed:

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

** Package changed: udev (Ubuntu) => gvfs (Ubuntu)

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

Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
