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

[Jan Gutter]

Hi,

Have you tried using jmtpfs?

http://research.jacquette.com/jmtpfs-exchanging-files-between-android-
devices-and-linux/

It's working for me on my Galaxy Nexus (JB and ICS), and I've also had
luck with it with a Galaxy S3 (ICS). (I'm using 12.04 with the latest
libmtp)

Unfortunately mtp is still really slow: keep in mind it was never really
designed to scale, and mapping it on to a filesystem will always be
imperfect.
