After trying them all (mptfs, gmtp, go-mtpfs) and banging my head against a wall for most of the day (and I understand Linux) the solution that seems to work the best for me is go-mtpfs configured as detailed in:

http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/247-ubuntu-automount-nexus7-mtp

with the obvious things changed from Nexus 7 specific to S3.

If you don't feel like compiling go-mtpfs it is available in a PPA, as detailed in:

http://www.webupd8.org/2012/12/how-to-mount-android-40-ubuntu-go-mtpfs.html

This setup automatically mounts and unmount my Galaxy S3 on my laptop, runing Ubuntu 12.10. It is not blazing fast but flawlessly transfered 2.7 Gb of mp3s as a test.
[HTC One X+] ihavoc:
I have found a way but it is not perfect as in the process is not great and will update if/when I have it all working perfectly, but this method does give full access

Go to http://software.opensuse.org/package/go-mtpfs and click on the 1-click install for go-mtpfs for your version of opensuse 12.x

If using Gnome you need to disable the gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor or it will mount as an Android-Phone with gphoto2 support which is limiting the access type to photo/video/audio files only. I only use gnome and have not tested in KDE.

There are 2 ways to do this

1. run

ps -ef |grep gphoto2

and find the PID of the process and kill it with

kill -9 (PID from previous set) example kill -9 1103

Doing it this way will require you to kill that process each and every time you restart the computer.

2. Rename the executable so it does not start

sudo mv /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor.old

This will require a reboot or follow option 1 above to kill it 1 last time.

Now to mount the phone as an MTP device. Create a directory in your home folder and call it htc. then open a terminal and make sure you are in the same directory as your htc folder and run

go-mtpfs htc

This will mount the device and will show as a mounted disk on the desktop called htc. However for some reason and it may be a bug but the terminal window stays open and shows all the access that you do in the gui accessing the phone.

To unmount the device open another terminal window and run

fusermount -u htc

in the directory where you can see the htc folder.

ADB Gui

Hi guys,

just because i'm a linux promoter i made a script to enhance the use of QTADB:

http://qtadb.wordpress.com/

i use xfce desktop on my slackware 14 installation so after compiling it, i noticed that it would have been nice to get it in menù

so i made a desktop file, and continuing i decide to enhance the script adding installation and uninstall options, so here we are...

Just extract the attached file anywhere you want and lauche the install script as root, with "-i" switch to install it and with "-u" switch

to uninstall it, the script will install all the necessary files in the right xfce directory and after that you will be able to launch the program

from menù.

PS the QtADB program has been compiled on a x86 slackware machine, so even adb program and qtadb program must be replaced

for x64 architecture. The QtADB application has been developed by the respective developer not by me, thanks to him so! ;)

Just last warning i noticed that on big files this gui stalls so consider to copy few files per time. Ciao!

For Gnome users, there's an GVFS backend for MTP, very handy and works without any manual configuration. Arch Linux users can simply install the package gvfs-mtp.

[HTC One X+] limitedMUSCL:
Fedora 19

Here's a good one for newer Fedora 19, from: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=292640 . Fedora 19 doesn't ship mtpfs, and the file manager plugin might be slow and/or buggy.

1) Download and install phoneutil.apk for your device. I have an S4, so the file is here.
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/a.../phoneutil.apk

2) Dial *#7284# to start the application. Select PDA mode, not modem. Set the USB mode to MTP.

Note. Phones may be set to MTP mode from the "factory". I had to do this because I was debugging things on my phone and had the mode set to ADB.

3) Check that at least 1 MTP client is installed on your Linux box.
$ yum list \*mtp\*
Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit
Installed Packages
gvfs-mtp.x86_64 1.16.3-2.fc19 @Updates
kio_mtp.x86_64 0.75-2.20130323gitcc6b195.fc19 installed
libmtp.x86_64 1.1.6-0.fc19 installed
simple-mtpfs.x86_64 0.1-6.fc19 @fedora

If you don't have one, install one.

4) Connect the phone to the machine with a USB cable. Dmesg should show something like this.

[73006.912779] usb 2-1.1: USB disconnect, device number 9
[73190.694369] usb 2-1.1: new high-speed USB device number 10 using ehci-pci
[73190.782053] usb 2-1.1: New USB device found, idVendor=04e8, idProduct=6860
[73190.782059] usb 2-1.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[73190.782063] usb 2-1.1: Product: SAMSUNG_Android
[73190.782065] usb 2-1.1: Manufacturer: SAMSUNG
[73190.782067] usb 2-1.1: SerialNumber: xxxxxxx

If you have a client that responds to the USB plug in event, you may get a pop up on your desktop. I run KDE and in Fedora 19 (and 18 IIRC), kio-mtp intercepts and the notifier asks me if I want to use Digikam or Dolphin to open the device.

If such a process automatically connects your phone to the machine, then proceed to use it. Note, that although I can open my phone in Dolphin via kio-mtp, the process is not a robust one. It will display the S4 file structure correctly but anything other than simple open or move operation throw errors.

5) Luckily most linux distributions now ship with a tool called simple mtpfs.

Install it.
#yum install simple-mtpfs.

Check for attached mtp devices.
$ simple-mtpfs -l
Device 0 (VID=04e8 and PID=6860) is a Samsung Galaxy models (MTP).
1: SamsungGalaxy models (MTP)

Read the simple-mtpfs help
$simple-mtpfs -h

Mount the device
$simple-mtpfs ./S4

Use the new mountpoint.

$cd S4
$ ls
Alarms Android data Documents INDI Music Notifications Pictures Podcasts samsungapps SMemo
AllsharePlayLog Application DCIM Download Movies Nearby obb Playlists Ringtones ShareShot

Use the command fusermount -u <mount_point> to unmount the device.

Android MTP setup on DEB based LINUX

Sorry, not 100% on if this IS the place to post this, BUT there IS a semi easy way to link an Android to LINUX, with NO need for APK installs or purchases. Be warned that with some devices, it may take a few extra minutes to fully load before files appear but it DID work. I posted a BLOG to help interpret what I read in MANY places. NOT ALL MY WORK!!!!

Fedora 20

Thank you very much!, it worked.

Right now I am using Fedora 20 and I followed the same steps as for Debian except the udev rules.

The mount point I used is /media/xperia and the last detail is: I had to improve is to make a symbolic link for "simple-mtpfs" because once I've completed the steps I got an error saying "/bin/sh: mtpfs: command not found". So the solution I came up is there:

# ln -s /usr/bin/simple-mtpfs /usr/bin/mtpfs

I hope it helps :D

mtpfs does not seem to work in Mint 17

hi,

thank you first for this how to. I use Mint 17 at present, but when I follow your steps in the how to, I get stuck when I do

sudo mtpfs -o allow_other /media/onex

I get the error

Unable to open ~/.mtpz-data for reading, MTPZ disabled.Listing raw device(s)
No raw devices found.

What does that mean and how to go about it? The mtpfs manual does not say anything about options for mtpfs. I get the same error when I just do "mtpfs" in the Terminal.

Thanks for troublshooting me

PS.: There is a sudo missing in the instructions, too. You cannot create or edit files in /etc whithout sudo

Use Image 2 Wallpaper app from play store. Allows you to set a wallpaper without cropping the image, or you can crop it if you want. Definitely better than the stock gallery implementation

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Fbunn:
I did something stupid.

I plugged in my bootable SD card while the NOOK side was running.

It said "Preparing SD Card"... and boy, did it ever! It prepared the card NOT TO BOOT into Android any more.

How can I fix this? The partitions and data are all still there. I have MiniTool Partition Wizard. Do I have to assign some sort of ID to the first partition (aside from FAT32) to get it to become bootable again?

(Learned my lesson about BACK UPS just now)

Thanks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Fbunn:
Never mind...

It booted now. Perhaps it wasn't inserted all the way, or MAYBE I got the dreaded "won't boot without tether" issue.

Thanks anyway!

(For what it's worth, I found on another thread the FIRST partition 'BOOT' must be FAT32 and marked ACTIVE for the tablet to boot from SD card.)

You could try one of the launchers out there. Nova Launcher would be a good place to start. One thing you'll definitely lose is Page Buddy - the homescreen panel that appears when you remove the S-Pen or plug in headphones.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antarctica32:
+1 for Nova. Simple, fast, and is basically the closest thing to stock. Tw is great, but the inability to change homescreen grid was too much. With nova i can go up to 7x7 i think. In the past I've kept tw but only because other launchers took up too much ram. I don't think it's possible to run out of ram on this thing. Lol

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aspros21:
I don't know if it is already answered but I can't find a clear answer for my problem.

Every time I flash a new ROM I have to factory reset so to judge fairly the performance and the stability of each ROM.

I use Titanium Backup to backup/restore my apps and the data of these apps.

My question is :

Can I restore, after a clean install of a ROM, my system settings? When saying system settings I mean my home widgets, my wallpaper, and every setting of my system, so to be the exact same setup but with the new code of the ROM.

Is that possible or I am dreaming...?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00429:
I do not think this is possible.. But you can take screenshots of all the launcher's screens, and write each widget's name on a paper so you can just install and move them as you have had them before.

For the history, I was trying all night and finaly I can tell that TB cannot restore all settings. :eek:

The best result was when I check from menu the choise "Migrate Data". TB restored some of my settings. Only wallpaper and widget I had to setup again. From android settings menu almost everything was there as before flashing. Although I have to check all settings for right config after each flashing attempt.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StNickZA:
Do you know which specific "app" in Titanium restored your settings?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angeloa375:
Titanium backup

I do not think that TB will do what you ask for.

In general, when you switch from one version to another of the same ROM all settings remain unchanged. When you move from one to another ROM and then do a full wipe the settings are lost.

You can facilitate your work, use a launcher (Nova or others) that they have in themselves the function backup / restore and also import from other launcher. In this case'll get your wallpaper, your widgets etc ... But not the Wi-Fi settings, audio setting, etc. ...
