About this app

Only for some devices. You have to know if


su
setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb
echo DEVICE-POINT > LUN-FILE
exit


or


su
setprop persist.sys.usb.config mtp,adb
echo "" > LUN-FILE
vold
exit


works for your device.

* requires root privileges
* does'nt require additional apps

1. when installing the widget on the homescreen confirm superuser rights
2. widget trys to find the LUN-file and the USB-device node
3. configure LUN-file and device-node
4. press backbutton
5. widget should show the current mode (USB or MTP)
6. tapping the widget should change the current mode
7. connect with USB-cable and enjoy ( hopefully )
8. disconnect USB-cable
9. switch back to MTP (otherwise, some apps may not work)

As USB-drive only mounts the external SD-card. With MTP are internal and external memory available.

Before uninstall MTPUSBSwitcher remove the icon from the homescreen dragging the icon into the trash. This will restore your original settings.

If you got trouble read this thread. A lot to read but interesting.
