So my Nexus 6 is working fine, can move files no problem. But for some reason Linux does not see it as a media device. It did see my old SG3 as one. I am wondering if there is a new UDEV setting I need to update for this phone or Lollipop for it to properly recognize it. Anyone have any way to get this to work? Be easier to move music to it with the system seeing it as a media device.

Hey all,
I just did my first install of CM7 about a week ago and got ants in my pants and upgraded to CM 9 tonight. It is magnificent.
So yeah, basically I am new to most of this. I managed to do the above without asking questions(and plenty of reading).
I did some searches and couldn't find this so don't destroy me...
Was wondering if there was a way to add my music to this puppy? I have this sexy music app and cannot figure out how to actually add my music to it.
If so, could someone kindly give me the retard how-to?
Thanks!
When you say add your music, do you mean from like your PC?
If so, theres a few ways like the wifi file transfer apps or directly via USB. For usb though, you need to go to settings > storage and click enable MTP. This will make the 'sdcard' visible to CM9 and to your computer. My windows 7 machine gives a driver error, but it does allow me to access the SD card via MTP.
Now if only I could figure out how to get my webOS music player to SEE my music...
Awesome. Thanks for that.
Does anyone know of an app that can allow the Nexus 7 to stream files from say my phone (G-Note) using CIFS type sharing?
I use CIFS to easily play videos from my PC, but I would like to take advantage of the huge SD card on my note and play them on the Nexus 7, without actually having to transfer anything.
Since getting my HTC One 64GB, I've been wanting to use it as a media device in a manner similar to how I can use an iPod - I want to connect the HTC One via USB to a computer, and use a media-playing program (such as WinAmp) to play music directly off the device. While this part sort of works, I've found that the MTP interface on the One does not provide MP3 tags such as artist and album, which makes managing my music collection rather difficult!
For what it's worth, this problem only seems to occur with ROMs derived from Sense ROMs. If I use CyanogenMod, I get full MP3 tags available over MTP. My Samsung phones seem to work fine too, but they are old and lack storage space (they also can work in USB storage mode, which would also be a solution if available on the HTC One).
I know some media-playing solutions involve syncing the music over wireless but that's not practical for me - I am usually in locations with no access to wireless connectivity (wired networks only). I don't want to have to copy all the music to a local drive, either.
I guess I'd like to know if anybody had success with getting MP3 tags over MTP on the HTC One with a Sense-based ROM, and if so, how? Cheers
Need some advice for dummies.
I currently have a gnex that is in great condition but the Verizon trade in and black Friday deals were too good to pass up. This was my first smartphone.
What is the simplest way to transfer my data from one phone to another?
1. Contacts and calendar should go automatically since they are through Google.
2. Photos - is there an easy way to transfer these? I will back up all of them to a nas, and I only want to transfer some so is the best bet to just directly copy the ones I want to a directory on the new phone?
3. Music - all my stuff is on Google music so no worries there. Side note, anyone know a volume leveler for Google music? It drives me insane since they bounce around so much even in the same volume. And I've leveled all my music already! Don't have any issues playing through xbmc, my laptop, or even other apps on my phone.
4. Audio books. Don't have a lot but are big files? I guess my best bet is to transfer them onto a laptop then onto the new phone? Anything more direct?
5. Do I need any kind of file manager on the new phone? I downloaded ASTRO file manager when I first got this phone to see where stuff was actually downloaded too from the chrome browser but is that necessary on the 4.4 Android? I have 4.2.2 right now.
6. Passwords for Google Chrome websites and tapatalk forums... Those should also transfer automatically correct? Since the app is actually storing them remotely?

This is from my g3 with lollipop 5.1.1
I know we have OTG but you have to use Stickmount or a kernal for it show or get to it and not only that the system still doesn't show that it is mounted.
I was wondering if this is can be implement to our nexus 6 roms? Since we don't have a SD slot, I Would assume it would be a lot easier for apps to see it instead of use of Secondary App .
I believe you can use otg usb with es file Explorer... Without root or a custom kernel

Of course it *can* be implemented.
I use OTG with my stock rooted N6 just fine. ES file explorer lists it as an option under local. Other programs happily launch the file from there. For example if there is a movie I want to watch without bothering to move to the N6 it gives the option of launching it on my MX player. I can't think of a scenario it is not allowing me to do. It sounds like you want it to mount directly within the filesystem. True that might be nice but for my use not all that necessary.
It can be. I expect slimLP will have it when its fully featured, like they always have. Small change in fstab (RAMdisk) and an OS change to show it in the storage menu.
That s really sound promising I hope so I dont mind the work around just trying to have the most stable way possible
