Yeah I have been using Android File Transfer application without issue. As soon as I plug my SGS2 into Mac AFT opens right away and shows the contents of my internal and external SD cards.

As for Macintosh vs Hackintosh - lol - I have both and tested on both. My real Mac is the mid 2011 MacBook Air with max specs. I noticed when I download Alt Mounter today that you have updated the app to v1.0b? The about screen is not updated in version number. Also on MacBook Air I installed fuse first without MacFuse compatibility and then reinstall with MacFuse compatibility.

And Finally those Mac Console error message lines in my previous post are the same on MacBook Air too. So I don't believe its Hackintosh related.

I noticed in a previous post you attached a debug version of app? I should perhaps give that a whirl for debug info?

---------- Post added at 11:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 PM ----------

Ok i got it working now on my MacBook Air. I did not have usb debugging turned on on my SGS2 for some reason (I usually have it on). Once I turned that on it would then mount on OSX. However on my mackintosh its mounting but the directory contents is blank. Have not figured that out yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nicene Nerd:
Hey, is there any chance you could make this program mount not only /sdcard, but the root folder, or even just /mnt?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyansmoker:
Yes, I could simply toggle root mode, if available on the device.

Note that in its current shape AltMount does not require root.

Windows users:

Can you confirm that the app actually does work for you?

Mac users:

I know, the app is not usable at this stage.

Linux users:

I actually started looking into using the Qt Traybar to port the app's minimalistic UI.

I tried it with a Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman WT19i with ICS 4.0.4 stock and XP SP3 with the drivers: it doesn't work.

Is it specific for Galaxy Nexus or it can work with other devices that use MTP?

Don't know how to select between internal storage and external SD

I can't believe I'm the first to ask this, but I'm wondering how I can get this to see my external SD card? I don't care much about the internal memory. I can use Root Explorer to juggle files around on that.

On my last tablet with GB I used isyncr to sync my music from itunes (worked flawlessly) and used iPhoto for photos and videos (again, worked flawlessly). Now I have this fancy ICS tablet and I've literally spent HOURS searching for different hacks to try to get this to work. I got all excited when I saw Alt Mounter and after I went through everything everyone else did I find myself lost trying to switch to the external SD.

I can't thank you enough for creating this application. I really appreciate it! I'm SO CLOSE to being able to sync my media again! If you know how I can make Alt Mounter work with my external SD I would be forever greatful!!!!!!!

- Joe

Something else I need to get off my chest is I have a Droid RAZR Maxx through big red and it's running 4.0 and has Mass Storage and works perfectly. What the heck? Clearly it's not a limitation of Android. I wish there were a way someone could do a system dump of that image and yank out what they need and wrap it up in a nice little package! I'd easily drop a benjamin in someone's hand!!

Well, I may be able to help with that anyway. Of course I favour the GNex, since it's my daily driver (yay!) but I have other devices as well and I would like to support them as well.

BTW, apologies for not updating anyone on the status of this tool; I got a bit peeved when none of the people it should currently work for (Windows users) gave me feedback of any sort.

This does NOT work in Windows XP, correct? Unfortunatly that's what I run on ALL my machines at home and work. And on many of the installs (high customized and hacked), MTP is straight broke, so I've been wanting a good solution...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slaman:
PS: Couldn't download the .apk from my device (SGS III running ICS) - had to use my laptop... it just popped up a "Loading..." dialog when I clicked Download... and once I did, didn't work. I know this is a Nexus forum, but this is the only option available for ICS out there!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyansmoker:
You are correct.

How you checked out an application called Droid NAS, though?

Yes, it is primarily a Bonjour-based app. However it seems to also support SMB connections. If it works on XP over a wireless connection I may write a tiny app to make it work over USB, like I've done for AirDroid.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robjective:
I tried this back when it hit Portal and had trouble with it. Going back through, I saw your complaint about lack of feedback. Sorry. So here's what happened tonight on Win 7-64:

Successful connection...started a copy of the whole "sd card", but when I saw that it used Windows native copy, instead of Tera-Copy (a great third party replacement for native copy) I canceled it out. Then seeing it was a localhost loopback, I did netstat to see which port it was running on before realizing all I had to do was click the address bar DOH! and tried to use FileZilla. That caused a crash after 33 of 155 files were transferred. I had to unplug and replug to get the connection again.

If there is anything I can do to help with troubleshooting, let me know.

I had MTP eat a bunch of files and then developed a problem where I couldn't see everything on the "sd card" correctly. Some files would show in Root Explorer, but not in Windows Explorer, vice versa, and it seemed that only AirDroid would show everything properly. I missed having raw access to the storage when I wanted to try to undelete the files that disappeared.

I have ap roblem with this app, every time i try to transfer something the finder freeze, i'm using total finder, there is a chance that this is not working with it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jemarti:
Windows feedback

I just stumbled across your project and installed it on my T-Mobile Galaxy SIII and Windows 7 64bit Pro computer. It worked like a charm. Only problem was that it mounted the internal "SDCard" instead of the external SDCard.

The other thing I noticed was that I cannot see thumbnails on any images. This was actually the reason I was looking for an alternative and stumbled across Alt Mounter. Windows MTP support sucks and when you look at your DCIM folder you just see generic icons, no thumbnails. I was looking for a way to view my camera images like in the good 'ol days of USB storage.

Thanks for taking the time to create this!

Windows: two comments, one GOOD one BAD

- GOOD: installed and working fine between my Samsung Galaxy S2 unrooted unbranded GT-i9100 running original rom with Android 4.0.3 and my Dell laptop running WinXP. FTP opens up and I can move, copy, sync files using the FTP address. Very fast and good. USB Debug on the S2 is set to on.

- BAD: installed and NOT working between the same S2 and my desktop PC running Win7. Nothing has changed on the S2, the Helper on the PC just keeps repeating "cannot find device, please plug / unplug....", no matter the sequence I use to plug and start Alt Mounter on the S2 and on the PC.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cris555:
The simpliest way i know to transfer files from pc using windows OS to galaxy nexus sd using MTP

1. zip the files/movies etc.. that you want to transfer to your sd

2. rename the zip file extension to .mp3 then copy/paste it to your sd using MTP.

3. rename it again to .zip after it is copied to your sd card (rename it in root explorer) and extract it on your phone using root explorer.

transfer rate is amazingly fast. try it and you'll see..

I can transfer 1+ GB files in less than a minute

Im using windows xp :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iamhiguma:
Yes, easy, but this will only transfer files.

I need files to be synced, and to do this I am using GoodSync on the PC. It works perfectly, as long as it can see the Smartphone Android either as FTP or as an external drive, with a "X:" drive letter. With MTP it does not see the Android.....

altmounter - stftpd - battery

Hi everyone, this is my first post :)

I'm proud owner of brand new Google Nexus 4.

Yesterday I was trying to mount N4 (4.2.2) on OSX 10.8.2.

Sadly it doesn't work...

I noticed, that battery consumption is very high so I uninstalled AltMounter.

Unfortunately, today I noticed, that another process is eating my battery - STFTPD.

The question is - how to kill it?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyansmoker:
Welcome, Kubareg.

You'll have to reboot your device. Since you uninstalled AltMounter, the service will not be automatically restarted as you reboot so that should be the end of it.

Am I missing something here ?

I installed on my S3 Running Omega 4.2.1 and my Windows 7 X64.

I see 2 BLANK drives in my computer and if I right click mount device in altmounter windows taskbar It goes to ftp://127.0.0.1:22210/ . However it only shows the root of the internal card. I can NOT delete anything from it nor can I open any folder I jet get an error windows saying 'the operation timed out'.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cloudwatcher:
So I'm trying this out now for Windows. Things I could do:

* Add it as a Network Location under My Computer

Things I could not do:

* Map as network drive

* Delete files or folders (on file delete received this error from Win 7 FTP Folder: 501 Error in parameters. On folder delete received this error: 259 File successfully deleted, 540 user banned. Nothing was actually deleted though, despite what the message said.)

Mounting it as FTP under Windows doesn't seem to confer that many advantages over mounting it as MTP, although I haven't tried using an FTP program like FileZilla yet. My chief need for this would be file synchronization using a 3rd party sync utility (Synkron) which doesn't connect to FTP.

Also, I'm mostly interested in accessing the actual SD card, which is a pain to get out of the phone but is where I keep all my media files since it's bigger than the internal storage. I rarely need to access the internal phone storage, although that's nice too. Not saying you should change your app, but maybe add this option?

Maybe what's needed is a mini-Samba server running on Android, so anything that can mount a Windows network drive could mount storage from the phone. Hmmmm.....

I have had issue with the 6X more than the 5X, I've had two that seem to just like disintegrate rapidly, I have even tried recalibration etc, but I wonder if it's just that I should get some third party battery that would end up accidentally better than the Motorola for NO reason other than manufacturing process or something IDK
[TouchPad Themes and Apps] cyansmoker:
The Issue

So, as you certainly noticed, ICS-toting devices such as the Touchpad running CM9 do not offer the USB Mass Storage feature anymore.

On Windows, I hear that you can mount your storage using MTP (Media Storage Protocol)

On Linux and OS X, from what I've seen, there have been some attempts at building drivers for MTP but those seem to provide quite unreliable connectivity.

On Windows itself, it appears that the protocol takes quite a while to mount your device.

Google does not offer USB Mass Storage anymore in part due to the fact that you would need to unmount your whole storage from your phone to mount it on your computer.

The Solution

Alt Mounter! (I know, such an original name)

Alt Mounter is two things: 1) a small service and its widget, running on your device; 2) a helper running on your computer.

When you use Alt Mounter, mounting your storage on your computer is close to instantaneous. It works like a Dual Mount application; i.e. it does not unmount your storage from your device (it does not need to)

Platforms

Currently, the helper only exists for OS X. It should not take long to port it to Linux and/or Windows if there is a demand.

The OS X version requires you to install OSXFUSE or any other FUSE package. It does not install these drivers itself because many MAC owners have already installed FUSE one way or another (for instance, OS X running in Parallels will not require any extra installation)

GET IT

Alt Mounter is currently a beta product. I use it without problem daily on my Galaxy Nexus and my CM9 Touchpad but of course your mileage may vary.

Get it from the Beta Page.

btw... it's for Win 7 64 bit. platform.

any way...sry if i am missed some similar post but... ty for any info. :)

download a lauchner like GoLauncher.apk open your Rom.zip,dont extract!! only open it,go to the directory system/app,put the golauncher.apk in and delete the LGLauncher.apk ,you can do the same with camera,videoplayer,sms and somethting.

you must have a replacement for the original,thats all.

for optic,first go copy systemUI.apk and framework-res.apk from the open zip to your PC,then go to the xda kitchen,make your style,open the downloaded zip and copy the backed framwork and system apk to Our rom zip,of corse in the right direction;-) and then you flash your own styled rom:-)

I have Xperia Active and since it goes underwater this da*n touch keys activate themselfs when they touch water.

But when they'r wet and I touch them - they don't work!

So I got "Button savior" app for that.

The problem is...I start recording out of the water and when I put ma phone underwater back or home button activates itself and closes the camera.

Is there any way to disable touch keys?

I just edit the key numbers in system/usr/keylayout/cyttsp_key.kl

To disable back and home touch keys, just change 158 and 102 to 000.

I think changing VIRTUAL to WAKE could also work.

Then you just need to reboot and have Button savior ready!

It would be awesome if some1 would make a script or app to do that.
