Quick question, I found that in 4.1.1 JB roms when connecting to PC to transfer files there is no option to just turn on you device as external drive, yet you see MTP and Camera mode. In both modes I found transfer speeds are MUCH lower and behavior is totally different on computer than before for ICS. IS there a way to activate "normal" file transfer mode in 4.1.1 JB without using MTP or Camera transfer modes ?
Thanks.
I tried 2 diffirent JB based roms and MTP this is in both so I guess it's a new "thing" for 4.1.1
Thanks once again.

There are a number of ways to get this to work. Search the threads this is a common question. Without knowing which ICS leak you used it's hard to say. Best bet would be to use sfhub's autoroot package>Extra Options and USB storage can be enabled there http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728 Or you can check out this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514665&highlight=usb+mtp
If you use Option E in the Auto Root package, you can switch between MTP and USB Mass Storage modes.

If you look in the reference section of the FD16 OneClick thread, you can also find a more detailed post that includes a link to an app to change between the two modes.

They all have both. They just removed the UI to enable USB Mass Storage mode in the settings menu on the more recent builds. The default has always been MTP, even on GB. However on GB if you enable USB Debugging, it turns off MTP and enables USB Mass Storage. It doesn't do that on ICS.
Look through the FAQs on the ODIN OneClick threads for the most recent ICS ROMs. From the first release they removed the UI, there is an FAQ entry to turn on USB Mass Storage. Prior to that release, there was no FAQ entry and the UI was still builtin.
I think it was one of the last FC releases or one of the earlier FD releases where the UI went away.
I recently flashed the newest version of MIUI 2.4.27 for my EVO 4G and, for some reason, the USB Mass Storage option seems to be missing or just not working when I connect to my computer, I even downloaded the UMS apk that other builds have been using for ICS ROMs and it didn't work when connected to my computer, is there a fix that anyone can suggest?
I've also been having problems with Car Mode, it just keeps restarting no matter how many times I shut it off, I'd appreciate some help with that too
I'm currently using aokp build 3. I have tried everything from MTP to PTP, use debugging to non usb debugging, Kies, Android File Transfer. Nothing seem to work. The only thing seem to be working is Airdroid which is really slow for any large file. So how do you guys transfer file on a custom rom with mac?

i am experiencing the same issues and have been for a very long time. when i first got the phone i could connect with Android File Transfer but no longer . I am running stock rooted. When I have experienced with ROM FILES, I have just put my SD card into an adapter and put it directly into my computer. This is also the safest way to transfer the file without risking corruption.
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET MTP/PTP or UMS to work?? UMS would be preferable for me.
Here's a quick fix for doing a half-assed job of what you need. I am a fellow Mac user.
Download "SGS3 Easy UMS" (google it) APK to your phone. Install.
Connect your device to your computer. If you have Kies, it'll start saying "Connecting..." but it'll never connect.
Pop open SGS3EUMS, and click "Mount UMS" or whatever it's called.
Make sure you're rooted (shoulda said this before).
Boom. Pop open your finder. Send files to your external SD.

Can't do Internal SD, or get KiesMac or even Andriod File Transfer working after flashing CM10, or any custom ROM. Stock worked beautifully.
`Hi all,
it seems the overall connectivity of my phone to my pc is screwed up. First of, I've never got this phone to appear as mass storage in windows explorer. While I was on a JB custom ROM, I ended up using moborobo. ADB and fastboot were working. I switched to Carbon KK ROM and ofc still not able to prompt windows explorer mass storage device. And yeah, I tried severall different packages of drivers, HTC sync crap and what not. I tried moborobo again, it recognizes the device and it's able to scan my phone's contents, but I get errors when I try to upload a file. Also, adb works when booted, but not in recovery so I can't sideload or push files either. so, effectively, I have no way currently to drop files to my phone. I miss removable SD-card
I would love to get this phone to work as a mass storage device again, does anyone has got some ideas? thanks
I flashed CM11 kernel and file management in moborobo is working again. Also fixed wifi and bluetooth. Seems carbon kernel is pretty broken

The easey way is just to disable usb debuging and you will see your sd card as mass storage when you finish enable usb debuging again.
**UPDATE**
"Sad to be the one to tell you this, but Google, in their infinite wisdom, has done away with USB Mass Storage in Android, for good."

[Q] How do you enable UMS for extsd file transfers on Sense 7?
Unable to find the UMS option when connecting via USB to my PC, was this feature taken away in sense 7? If not how do I enable it?
Thanks to those who reply.
USB Mass Storage was done away with in Android years ago, maybe in Jellybean (?). It can't be enabled in the stock setup. I think I saw on an older Viper ROM build that you can do USB Mass Storage. But not sure if that's still the case.
It was definitely still available for use on Lollipop and sense 6 before the update to MM and sense 7 on my Sprint M8 HK, I switched to it all the time to edit mp3 tags on my ext sd. After the update, MTP and PTP were the only options to transfer files or pics.
