[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Zaphord:
Only for users with the "path" problem

Please read carefully,

I said not a word against the developer, I only mentioned that he has vanished, and that the paths for stock ROM seems to be incorrect in the latest version. And I wanted to say clearly, that for me (STOCK ROM) this app works perfect.

I was only astonished, why someone who did NOT have the problem takes an installation without needing it. I for myself would never do this, if the app doesn't seem to have an advantage (the very very old story: never touch a running system).

For ICS the EASY UMS app worked perfect on my stock ROM, updating to Jelly Bean it fails.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Old faithful:
OK, I see we got into a misunderstanding.

I have the stock ROM as well, so my comments come based on that fact. And believe it or not, I appreciate your input, otherwise I wouldn't have tried this app.

I understand your problem, I had the same thing happen to me [path not found problem], but only after I uninstalled Mass Storage Toggle and tried to use SGS3 Easy UMS again. That's why I warned others for whom SGS3 Easy UMS works, to be careful if they want to try this one, because it is obviously incompatible and does something to the system in such a way that you won't be able to reuse SGS3 easy UMS after that.

I can assure you, it just doesn't work that way for me, and believe me, I've been trying for hours now, disabling/enabling "connect as an installer" in Developer options, rebooting both the device and the PC, because I would love nothing more than having the device ALWAYS connect and be seen as a USB drive the minute I plug it in.

Of course, when you plug the device the two drives show up as they normally do, but when I click on the SD Card drive, it says "Please insert a disk into removable drive". So I have to get back at the app on the device and click "Mass Storage Mode" every time I need to use it. I just doesn't stick like you say it should and that is why it is

not an improvement

for me.

Most of the folks here come because they like to experiment and like I said, I'd love nothing more than to get the device go into permanent "always-on USB" mode like any other USB drive memory stick, but it just doesn't work that way on my device.

Now... If you have an idea as to WHY it doesn't work for me, I'd love to know! But here is certainly not the place to discuss this ;)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Jumbodriver:
Now this is strange.

I have both installed on my S3 LTE (I 9305) and both are working. I can even switch to UMS with one App and back to MTP with the other App. The only step I do everytime I switch it back to MTP is that I switch on the Developer Options, select USB-debugging and than switch off the Developer Options again. This might sound weird, but there is a reason behind it:

I guess both Apps are based on the same script (see OP) and thus both switch back to MTP + ADB. The interesting thing is, that the system does not see it until you reboot. On the 9305 you can check this by dialing *#7284# and select the Qualcomm USB Settings. Here it will show you MTP + ADB. I am not sure if this code works on other smartphones.

ADB is the USB debugging mode and as I dont want this switched on in "daily live" I always switch it off this way. Maybe, if you leave it on, this is causing a conflict.

....and Old faithful you are absolutely right: UMS should be part of the operating system as it used to be.

BTW: I am on stock JB 4.1.2

Attempted use with SGS3 SCH-R530M (MetroPCS)

I attempted to use the app for a Galaxy S3 MetroPCS version and all that seems to happen is I get a random CD drive popping up in "My Computer" on Win7. My phone is all rooted and whatnot. BusyBox is installed as well. What am I missing? Is it just not compatible with my particular phone? :( Btw, I have a 64gb exterior microSD card installed.

Hi Kopfgeldjaeger,

I've found your very interesting mod today.

I'm working with a Macbook Air and a SGS3 LTE running on CM10.2.

Your Easy UMS is very powerful for me to access to my microSD as a Mac volume and your mod works good but ... but when a folder or a file name contains some french characters like é è or à or again a quote ('), your mod doesn't "shown" the file or the folder.

Is it possible to correct it please :good:

Hey Guys,

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] travisheaver:
OK I'm dumb, Debugging mode was not enabled. Now a different problem:

UMS works on a fresh restart, but after ejecting the sdcard on my laptop, pressing the 'mount card' button gives the error

"Could not mount card[1]".

My sdcard is labeled sdcard1.

UMS mode cannot be enabled again without a mounted card, which right now means I have to reboot the phone each time I want UMS.

Anyone have experience with this issue?

---------- Post added at 07:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 PM ----------

Ok,

Ejecting the SDcard from laptop, removing the usb cable, then going to Settings > Storage and unmounting then remounting the sdcard will allow UMS to work again.

Only problem at this point is why the 'Mount card' button doesn't work? I'd prefer not to have to connect and disconnect the usb cable constantly!

After you plug your phone in, you would start the app and click on the UMS Mode button. It would then switch to UMS mode by running some internal commands and you would see two drives in WIndows (only one drive is accessible).

After you unmount the card in windows you would unplug and press the "Mount card" button to mount it locally. Optionally you could press the MTP mode to return to MTP mode for future connections.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Old faithful:
Unfortunately, if the files were located on internal memory, there is nothing much you can do to because this application only accesses External SD Cards.

Of course, if they had been located there it would have been a simple matter of mounting the SD Card on a PC using this app and using an undeleter from there such as Test Disk or Photo Rec to retrieve them there.

You should ask in the main forum whether there are any Android undelete apps, I'm not aware of any but I could be wrong.

There is an app called MyMobiler that allows access to internal storage from the PC but I doubt you could undelete files since that would be on an active partition and there is a high risk of seriously crashing the phone and I doubt it the Android OS would allow it anyway.

It comes without saying that for the future, you could install an SD Card, it's your best protection, but you have to manually set your phone to save there by default, or you could use online storage services, if you can trust them (I don't).

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mad_ady:
Here's an idea - but it requires an external sd greater than internal storage and root. You'll have to do the following:

1. Create an image of your internal sdcard, most likely with the dd command. For this you'll need to figure out what partition is your sd card, and output the image to your external sd card (which most likely needs to be formatted with exfat to hold files over 4gb) (it's also a possibility that odin might be able to copy the flash to your pc)

2. Use testdisk (from the photorec suite) to scan the image file for jpg files. With some luck you might get your images back, but without their names.

In theory my plan should work, but I've never tried it on a phone's internal storage. It probally depends on filesystem type, but it should support ext4.

In the worst case you might get nothing, or you might get truncated photos.

Oh, and this might work only if your firmware/kernel doesn't have trim support (otherwise it will zero the free space).

So, it might not be impossible, but it sure won't be easy. Also this app won't help you because you need to access internal storage.

Good luck!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Old faithful:
Great idea but you could only do that if the process could make a low level sector by sector full internal memory image. Does the dd command work that way?

Sent from my Note 2 - Text mostly by Google Voice, May Contain Weirdness ;)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mad_ady:
Yes, it should copy written and free space from the whole partition. The only problem could be that the flash controller might have reallocated/trimmed the free space.
