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

[Olivier Mengué]

libmtp is involved in MTP support because udev rules and protocol implementation are provided by that package, so bundling a recent one is required.
There are a few open Android 4 related bugs in its bug tracker (I can't link to them in this bug's meta because LaunchPad think that the bug tracker is at LaunchPad and refuses to monitor SourceForge ones):
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3489472&group_id=158745&atid=809061
Some are recently fixed (January):

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.
