10 There is a package you can install to enable USB mass storage, but it's
11 not in the market. Bear in mind though that this can cause problems,
12 because the S3 doesn't expect the memory to suddenly become unavailable,
13 the whole reason for using MTP is that you don't have to unmount the
14 storage and stop any applications that are using it to transfer a few
15 files.

17 However, I've also found all the mtp options in portage to be unreliable,
18 so I run QuickSSHd on the phone and transfer files with scp or mount the
19 phone with sshfs.
