You have two choices: a) if you just need to transfer video/pictures, there is a compatibility mode you can toggle inside android settings to enable ptp mode that apps like digikam understand. b) if you really want to mount the android fs in gentoo, and transfer all types of files, than you'll need to use a tool like mtpfs (eix mtpfs for more info). I tried the mtpfs approach first, but found that was not that reliable and switched to the digikam method which has met all my needs. Matt
