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

[Martin Pitt]

We'd need to add a udev rule to allow users to access these devices. I
figure we don't want to collect a whole lot of vendor/product IDs, is
there a way to tell that an USB device is an Android one?

Can you please run

  udevadm info --export-db > /tmp/udev-db.txt

in a terminal and attach /tmp/udev-db.txt here, with the phone
connected?

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:

  Pangolin (12.04) should be prepared for Android ICS devices and grant
  easy access to music and pictures and other files to all users.
