Connect Nexus And Other Android Device Via MTP Support In KDE

UPDATE : MTP SUPPORT IS AVAILABLE IN UBUNTU 13.04 AND HIGHER WITHOUT ANY INSTALLATION

Confusing how to transfer file from your android device? Connecting it to computer based on KDE desktop but it doesn't appear? Try using MTP protocol :D
  • sudo apt-add-repository ppa:philschmidt/ppa-kio-mtp-daily
  • sudo apt-get update
  • sudo apt-get install kio-mtp
Then just plug your Android device and open it with dolphin in Network > MTP Devices.


 Note: You can't make a folder in your Android devices. So you must make a folder first from your android, and then copy the file you want to it.

Tested on Kubuntu 12.04 and 12.10 with Nexus 7 device. In Kubuntu 13.04 there is an issue that MTP will be added in dolphin, so you are not necessary to install kio-mtp again :D
