TUTORIAL : Galaxy Nexus Enable MTP File Transfer in Ubuntu Linux

 Many people have struggle to connect android phone to Ubuntu for file transfer. I've found it over the net and it's work like charm. Kudos to Lou from http://ohheyitslou.blogspot.com/




The packages for MTP in the Ubuntu 11.10 repos are built from outdated source and are the cause of most of the MTP file transfer woes. I've gone ahead and removed the updated packages from the Ubuntu 12.04 repos both 32 & 64 bit versions. These have to be installed in a certain order to avoid issues so install as follows:


sudo dpkg -i libmtp9_1.1.1-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libmtp-common_1.1.1-1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i libmtp-runtime_1.1.1-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i mtp-tools_1.1.1-1_amd64.deb

Final package that needs to be install:

sudo apt-get install -y mtpfs

*After install make sure that the following packages are installed 
mtp-tools libmtp-runtime libmtp9 libmtp-common mtpfs

  • First we must create a mount point for your Galaxy Nexus:
sudo mkdir /media/Nexus
  • Now we must assign the proper read/write privileges to the directory:
sudo chmod 775 /media/Nexus
  • We have to create a file the enables your Linux system to see your Galaxy Nexus:
sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/99-android.rules
  • Copy & Paste the following into the file then save and close:
#Acer
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0502", MODE="0666"
#Dell
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="413c", MODE="0666"
#Foxconn
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0489", MODE="0666"
#Garmin-Asus
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="091E", MODE="0666"
#Google
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0666"
#HTC
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"
#Huawei
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="12d1", MODE="0666"
#Kyocera
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0482", MODE="0666"
#LG
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="1004", MODE="0666"
#Motorola
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="22b8", MODE="0666"
#Nvidia
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0955", MODE="0666"
#Pantech
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="10A9", MODE="0666"
#Samsung
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666"
#Sharp
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="04dd", MODE="0666"
#Sony Ericsson
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0fce", MODE="0666"
#ZTE
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="19D2", MODE="0666"

  • Now we must make the file executable:
sudo chmod +x /etc/udev/rules.d/99-android.rules
  • Download and unzip the mount/unmount scripts I've written for you in your home directory:
  • Make the scripts executable:
sudo chmod +x mount-nexus.sh unmount-nexus.sh
  • Enable MTP transfer on your Galaxy Nexus by entering into Settings-Device-Storage select Menu in the bottom right hand corner then "USB computer connection" make sure "Media device (MTP)" is selected.
  • Connect the Galaxy Nexus to your computer:  *USB Debugging must be disabled*
  • With the mount and unmount scripts in your home directory execute the mount command by typing the following (please wait for a while, it take time to load files from android) :
./mount-nexus.sh
  • Execute (IS A MUST) the unmount command by typing the following:
./unmount-nexus.sh

Green colour Wind screen and side screen glass replacement

Actually it been thought of changing to new windscreen for a couple years ago but until now I can make it come true. After bought insurance cover for it, then I went to his shop located at MWE Commercial Park, Kepong to replace it. This shop not only can replace a windscreen, but also a supplier for windscreen workshop around Malaysia.


They mark the crack area for insurance claim purpose.


After windscreen been remove, I'm not there when they took out the windscreen.




This is replacement for my windscreen with greenish colour on the top. Double layer of course.


Details of the windscreen. 


 Sandblast Printed on the windscreen




They put a masking tape to make sure the windscreen not moving down for about 24 hours until silicon glue harden.


At last but not least, I also replace greenish side glass (darker glass on rear) with UVS (people said it can filter 99% UV) to lower cockpit temperature during hot evening. With the new windscreen, I also notice great temp reduce inside the car than before.

Replace G-Shock DW-5600 Battery

This is my first g-shock and have served me for the past 8 years. So this thing are really attached to me.
On 4 Dis 2012, this g-shock dead coz battery already flat.

So I've google to search what kind of battery it use. Then found it, CR2016 is the battery type. Bought the battery for RM 8.00. Hopefully it will last for another 10 years. Why ten years? Because g-shock engineers developed this watch to:-
1-will last for 10 years
2-can be drop at 10 meters (or feets which I've forgot)
3-withstand 10 meters (or feets which I've forgot)


First thing is removed the four screws.


After remove inner rubber shock (not in the picture), remove battery clip which hold the battery in place.



It's alive again....
