As far as I'm aware, USB Mass Storage is still available in 4.0/4.1
(Vendor Optional), but only for external storage (MicroSD storage). For
those of us with Internal storage USB Mass Storage is not an option.

It may also be possible with CM9 if they partition the Internal Storage
to give the appearance of both Internal and External Storage - but it
remains that only the 'external' storage is usable with USB Mass
Storage.

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.
