You need to enable the 'developer mode' or 'debug mode' on your phone. This is the (somewhat ridiculous) official way to enable it [0]: 1. Open the Settings app. 2. (Only on Android 8.0 or higher) Select System. 3. Scroll to the bottom and select About phone. 4. Scroll to the bottom and tap Build number 7 times. 5 Return to the previous screen to find Developer options near the bottom. You'll probably also want to install the android-udev-rules (we have a package for it) to enable using adb as your normal user (instead of root) [1]. HTH!

This is one of the things you'd think "must be dead simple" and then loose a couple evenings trying to make work... eh! I think the best option might be to have a running OpenSSH server on your phone and use Emacs (tramp) to browse the files there (C-x f /ssh:user@host:), but this probably requires to have rooted your phone. Recently after finding that the Emacs builtin FTP browsing support didn't work well with libre FTP servers (available on F-Droid) for Android [0], someone suggested I could use Emacs with ADB (there is ADB support in Tramp). I just tried it now; works as well as any Dired buffer :). It's documented in the chapter 5.3 External methods of the Tramp manual. Basically, add this to your ~/.emacs if you want it to connect automatically to your device: --8<---cut here---start->8--- (setq tramp-adb-connect-if-not-connected t) --8<---cut here---end--->8--- And then fire it up using C-x C-f /adb::. You need the cable for the initial adb connection, but after you continue the connection over TCP/IP wirelessly, by doing [2]: > adb shell ip -f inet addr show wlan0 # Find your phone's IP address > adb tcpip > adb connect : HTH :) Maxim [0] https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=31691 [1] https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=31691#14 [2] https://stackoverflow.com/a/3623727/2896799

MTP works (sort of) for me on GNOME. In the past, I know it also worked on Xfce for me, too (I haven't tested that recently, though). I use Nautilus. One very important caveat is that it does NOT work until after I do the following things: (1) Connect my phone to my computer with a USB cable. (2) Enable the "file transfer" mode from the phone's UI. (3) On the computer, press Control+Alt+F2 to switch to a virtual terminal, and then press Control+Alt+F7 to switch back to my graphical desktop. I have no idea why (3) is necessary for me. However, if I don't do (3), then even though I see the phone listed in Nautilus' browsing window, clicking on it has no effect. Once I do (3), when I click on the phone in Nautilus, it finally shows me the files and lets me transfer things. It's a mystery to me. In the past, I looked into this, but I was not able to solve the mystery: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-12/msg01076.html Hope that helps, -- Chris signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I know some people simply use Nautilus. This depends on gvfs or GNOME. -- Ricardo

Could you create a 'gnome-updates' branch for this? That makes it easier to track the changes, and allows for building it without rebuilding the entire world. We might want to merge it to core-updates rather than build it on its own regardless, but at least we have the option. What do you think? signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I've been using gmtp for the time being, which works but I don't like it very much. I'm not sure what to do in order to make the GNOME file manager auto-mount MTP devices like I'm used to in mainstream distros. Does anybody else have this working? - Dave
MTP & Guix
Hi there! Do you people have recommendations when it comes to MTP (file sharing with mobile devices) support on GuixSD? Ideally I'd like something as straightforward as an auto-mounted folder which I can browse with my favourite file browser. I see Guix offers a few options: - jmtpgs - gmtp - libmtp What's your setup, people? -- Pierre Neidhardt signature.asc Description: PGP signature
