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!

Thank you very much Lorenzo!
RispondiEliminaI was going to give up trying to mount my nexus on linux.
It works like a charm!

You're welcome.
EliminaI was going to give up too, but then I decided to wrap togheter what i googled around to have an usable solution.
Having such a good android device not working fast as it should was driving me nuts.
you take away the pain :D thank you very much!
RispondiEliminaThanks to who wrote the scripts... I've just modified them :-)
EliminaExcellent!!! Way helpful. Once again Thank you very much.
RispondiEliminaThanks a lot, but I'm still having trouble with files over 4GB...any solution?
RispondiEliminaJust a suggestion, not a solution.
EliminaIf you're using this method to connect to an SD card formatted in fat32 be aware that fat32 has filesize limitations.
I didn't check a 4Gb file transfer (I have a GNex, so no SD for me, and not enough space/time to test at the moment) but I think it will be handled fine if the destination FS is supporting it.
ciao lorenzo, does it works for galaxy s3?
RispondiEliminaI'm using ubuntu 12.10 and the mtp is driving me crazy, i tried to use your script but i get the same error of before.
Impossibile montare «SAMSUNG_Android»
thanks for helping
I think it will work on S3 too (I cannot test it btw)
Eliminacheck if your user is in the fuse group (if not add)
sudo adduser YOUR_USERNAME_HERE fuse
then check if you have set execution permissions on go-mtpfs
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/go-mtpfs
if you don't have go-mtpfs you may check the whole install process here:

Grazie!!!! :)
RispondiEliminaFede
Mahalo, works like a charm.
RispondiEliminaHi Matthew, I tested ubuntu 13.04 and this "trick" is no longer needed but is still performing good (anyway the default mtp support got better in raring and just works with my GNex with CM 10.1)
