[LUG] Samsung Galaxy MTP

 

HI All 
I have had to swop my HTC Desire for an underpowered Samsung Galaxy
Device 0 (VID=04e8 and PID=6860) as I am a very occasional user of the
Mob but like one for Music and podcasts. Wief got a new Tesco deal that
came with a Samsung TAb7" liked the Tab, but not the phone.

So I plug it in my Fedora pc and can only connect as Camera. No good for
MTP?

I find this article
http://shkspr.mobi/blog/2012/01/connecting-samsung-ics-to-ubuntu-using-mtp/
(its for Ubuntu but Fedora has the MTP in repros as well and Brilliant!

Soooo...

mkdir /media/GalaxyS
chmod a+rwx /media/GalaxyS

gedit  /etc/fuse.conf

echo "alias android-connect=\"mtpfs -o allow_other /media/GalaxyS\"" >>
~/.bashrc
[kevin@kevin ~]$ echo "alias android-disconnect=\"fusermount
-u /media/GalaxyS\"" >> ~/.bashrc
[kevin@kevin ~]$ source ~/.bashrc
[kevin@kevin ~]$ android-connect

The command line android-connedt disconneect are perhaps clunky, but a
good result!

it just works...  Mounted in Nautilus.
