Is there any kernel out there that I can download and flash to my ATT Galaxy S3 (and keep my root) that will enable UMS so I can use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skidmrk.umswatcherotg&hl=en
Or if the above isn't possible is there any ROMs like CM or others that support USB Mass Storage Or UMS?
MTP and PTP are the most annoying protocols i have ever delt with and don't wprk with my computer very well.

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.

Thanks...^^^ does anyone recall which was the last leaked build that had both mtp and mass storage support?

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've seen many people asking the same questions over and over again, so thought I would make a FAQ (and continually update it) so people can just post here, instead of cluttering all the leak threads! Please let me know if there are other things to add!
Please note I take ZERO credit for all this, just copying/pasting from what others have said on this. This is due to all the hard work of the other XDA'ers here! I am just trying to consolidate it into one thread. If someone has already done this (and I didn't see it), please delete this thread! I have also tried to give credit to the peolpe from where I found this from. If that is incorrect, please let me know and I'll change it!
This isn't very much right now, but I'm hoping to make a 1 stop shop for everyone. Please let me know what else I need to add in general!
USB STORAGE ICS
What happened to USB Storage in ICS, how do I get the old GB behavior back?
You may have noticed that ICS ROMs by default will configure the USB port for MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) mode. MTP mode may be more convenient for some people as it can coexist with USB debugging better, but the transfers are much slower and if you don't have the OS driver support (Mac/Linux) the USB drives may not show up.
Most people prefer to have the behavior from GB ROMs where you could drag the notification bar, click on the USB symbol, and manually enable USB Mass Storage mode.
With earlier versions of ICS, you could do this less conveniently using the menu->settings->more->USB Utilities configuration page.
Starting with ICS release FC22, the USB Utilities configuration page is no longer present. This presents the user with a problem as they cannot enable USB Mass Storage using the UI.
The Auto Root package has a solution for you. Under "Extra Options" of the main menu, there are 2 choices that affect ICS mass storage:
1) Enable ICS USB Mass Storage Mode
2) Enable ICS USB MTP Mode
These are mutually exclusive options. If you enable one, you disable the other.
To get GB USB Mass Storage behavior, choose the first option (USB Mass Storage Mode). This option once chosen, will be persistent through reboots and is stored in your Android User Data. It will only get reset if you reset your Android User Data or manually choose a different mode.

Wifi Tether on ICS
Just wanted to let you guys know that if you want to wireless tether with any ICS rom just install wireless tether beta 11. Go into settings and change device profile to "Samsung Galaxy Nexus CDMA" and voila you have infrastructure tether with 4g!
I would attach the apk but I can't seem to do it from my Prime so here is the link!

Notification Bug
Gone since FD24.
Want to go back to GB?
Use Sfhub's one-click Odin EL29, then install the recovery again. It's going to be the safest way. Then you can restore a nanodroid if you want to from there!
Install a recovery on ICS
Use the autorooter tool again, and you can use the older leaks version-ie-FB17, etc. Just install the recovery, that's all you need!
Heythere,
so since I haven't made any posts yet I can't ask this in the ROM's thread...
I have been running 20.0.0 for a while and I just noticed that when I connect USB it doesn't ask me if I want to enable usb mass storage, also can't find it hidden in the settings..
any ideas/solutions?
Thanks in advance!

I am new to the GS2. I'm running Liquid Smooth 3.0 The only options are MTP and PTP. I would like to enable UMS. I drive a Ford and it has sync but it's not compatible with MTP. It should be compatible with UMS because it should behave just like a flash drive. I tried SG UMS enabler but it doesn't work with this phone.
I also found a couple of build.prop tweaks but they weren't in an SII forum, and I didn't see the line in my own build.prop.
I'm running Carbon KitKat right now, and Multi Mount SD-Card works fine for me ( you need Root ). I've been using it for a couple years on multiple ROMs and it works fine, though it's a bit confusing to set up - you have to create a widget to use it and mount your SD cards.
I am no fan of MTP at all. Sometimes you have to disconnect and reconnect just to get all of files to show up, and sometimes after a transfer you have to do that also for some reason. I loved the old UMS.
**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.
