Android MTP devices (4.0+) mount scripts and Unity launcher for Ubuntu 12.04 (and 12.10)

If you're using ubuntu (12.04 or 12.10) and you want to browse your Android 4.0+ device you know how frustrating can be.

here's a solution.

Just download this,

unzip it,

open a terminal,
cd to the folder you've unzipped and run:

./install_me.sh

when nautilus will open the ~/.local/share/applications folder just drag the "Mount Android MTP Filesystem" launcher to the Unity bar and you're good to go with it.

right clic and enjoy

to uninstall this solution:
cd to the folder you've unzipped and run:

./remove_me.sh

hope it helps!
