Android "Smart"phone as external drive with Porteus?
Posted: 03 Oct 2015, 16:01
I need to get some data from my Samsung Galaxy S4 to my main PC, Porteus recognizes it. This is from /var/log/messages:
The only running disk is a fixed hard disk, sda.
Porteus not gives me and icons for the " full-speed USB device ", while Android complains the host PC it got connected to misses the software for synchronising, telling me how to fix that issue for Witless OS, or for mac OS. quite ironically, of course, considering Android itself is a Linux...
Any ideas how to "convince" stupid android to just let it behave like an external disk to my host OS?
