Access Your Android Folders & Files in Linux (Ubuntu)

There is a PPA with upstream MTP patches for gvfs built in. Upgrading to this is fairly simple but may be unstable or you might not trust it. That is your decision to make.

Installing it is fairly simple:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:langdalepl/gvfs-mtp
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

You'll want to log out and in (or restart) after doing that but you should then be able to use MTP from within Nautilus. ( I did a restart) Voila now i can view and tranfer files between linux and my galaxy reverb.

(I turn on USB debugging, just to be safe)
