Hi folks,
can i change the device name of my HTC Hero anyhow, so that in my router's overview it shows the name of it, like it does with laptops / PCs?
I know its possible with bluetooth, but i havent found any option for doing that concerning WLAN.
I didnt root my device, otherwise i would have probably tried the commands which i would use for my Ubuntu laptop:
sudo echo "newname" > /etc/hostname
sudo hostname -F /etc/hostname
and edit /etc/hosts accordingly.
Anyone knows a solution for me?
Best regards,
kapen
Please, anyone?
Or could anyone, who has a rooted Hero, go and take a look whether the files /etc/hostname, /etc/hosts and the command "hostname" exist? Or perhaps even write something in these files, i mean it wont do any harm as you are just writing sth to an ordinary text file.
If i'd have root, i'd do it myself, but for now there are no benefits for me which would push me to root and i don't want to lose my warranty for nothing.
Help is very much appreciated!
most routers let you do this on the router....
I know when i hook up to my thompson router and set a static IP address, it lets me name the device... Hardly worth hacking the device for really.
Bump
I'd like to be able to do this as well, without having to use a static IP. This can be done with symbian, winmobile, java and other types of phone not to mention internet tablets, laptops etc. Why not an Android phone?

True. But most routers isnt my router, its not able to do that. And neither do i want to set a static IP on my Hero, because i'm using it with several other WLANs.
fair enough.
I just thought as there is no way that anyone seems to know of on the device, that it may be an alternative.
Ya your right.
I just thought anyone knew a solution for me. I mean its a system running on linux and i ought to be able change that kind of stuff... just don't know how :\
Heureka! It worked just the way i suggested
If you have a rooted device with busybox!, get that handy adb file and do:
Code:
1. adb root
2. adb remount
3. adb shell
3.1 cd /etc
3.2 echo "Hero" >> hostname
3.3 echo "127.0.0.1 Hero localhost.localdomain localhost" > hosts
3.4 echo "127.0.1.1 Hero" >> hosts
3.5 hostname -F /etc/hostname
Voila. Though, you'll get an error when you do "hostname" now, because something in busybox is wrongly linked against a library which doesnt allow resolving hostname by IP, but other devices (such as my router) will now display "Hero" as device name.
Side note: my only intend for doing this was, that my router WAG54G2 (Linksys by Cisco) didnt work correctly with my Hero, meaning i got a lot of connection aborts in WLAN and often could not reconnect afterwards. That seems to be solved now!
Edit:
With the method above, you''ll lose your Wlan name after reboot. You need to add a line to the init startup scripts to perform a "hostname -F /etc/hostname" on every boot. This can be done in the file /init.rc or, if you have the MoDaCo Rom, in /data/init.sh

I have a Nexus 7 (wifi only) with JB 4.2.1 and I'd like to know if there is any custom rom or kernel that supports ad hoc connections, I want to connect the N7 to joikuspot on my nokia 808.
BTW I already tried bluevpn and not all android apps supports it, and already got connectify-me on my desktop computer, I need to connect the N7 with my phone since I travel very often and not everywhere I can find wifi spots.
Thank you in advance

Hello? anyone can help me out?
Ad Hoc for Nexus 7
First, being a noob I want to say thanks for all the great info provided on this forum. It's a big help to someone like me who's just learning.
CARUPANBOW,
I need this also. I’ve spent several hours searching for a solution and have found nothing. It’s already been discussed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787680&page=7 on XDA so maybe that why no one has responded. The links below are to other discussions about this, but so far I have not found a way to force my Nexus 7 to connect to an Ad Hoc network. I’m still hopeful.

Thank you very much for answering my post, I'm a noob too and besides I felt ignored, I have to confess this is my first android device, and I have spent many hours too to figure out a solution.
I checked the post you mentioned, some of those websites too and also checked the android issues #82 and #35629 at code.google.com
So far i've been able to connect to my nokia 808 via joikuspot, but like in bluevpn some apps are not working, here is what I did:
1) I have the JB 4.2.1 rooted on my device
2) I downloaded this kernel and applied it https://github.com/monk-dot/SPAN/blob/master/kernels/ASUS%20Nexus%207/myupdate-nexus7.zip
3) Since the nexus stock rom doesn't include the wpa_cli command I found this one http://pic-e-bank.com/android/Droid/Kernels/Froyo/Slayher/slayher_wifi_fix.zip Extracted the file and copied it into the folder /system/bin (set permissions to 755).
4) Found this patched wpa_supplicant file from this post "[JB] wpa_supplicant for adhoc wifi networks" and copied it into the folder /system/bin (made a backup first of the original file and set the permissions of the new wpa_supplicant to 755).
5) With a terminal app (using adb also works) I followed this guide: http://www.olsr.org/?q=olsr_on_android to set up the ad hoc network to my nexus 7 manually.
And Eureka! I could connect my nexus to my nokia 808 hotspot, however I couldnt see any infrastructure networks anymore, the solution was to revert back to the original wpa_supplicant, so I'm thinking about making two command scripts to set up my ad hoc connection and revert it back whenever I need to connect to a different network (you can check this guide).
BTW, there are some custom roms that include the wpa_cli command, but I tried some of them and they didn't detect my hotspot until I replace the wpa_supplicant file with the patched one.
I'm no android expert but I think the problem with ad hoc connections is a kernel/wpa_supplicant issue, i guess at some point google decided to take out the support for IBSS networks, however the linux kernel still supports it, i really wish some expert could take a look into it.
I hope you find this info useful, but this is not a final solution and I'll still work into it whenever I can.

That’s great! At least you have provided something that works. It’ll take me some time to replicate what you did. I am going give it a try.
Thanks,

Thank you very much
Also I found out the networks settings are stored in /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf instead of /system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
reading this post Edit wpa_supplicant.conf instead of wpa_supplicant I managed to manually edit my ad hoc network settings, so the wpa_supplicant.conf would be like this
Code:
ap_scan = 2
network={
ssid="JOIKUSPOT"
scan_ssid=1
priority=10
mode=1
wep_key0="12345"
key_mgmt=NONE
}
And you have to give the ownership back to system.wifi using abd/terminal:
Code:
#chown system.wifi data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
For now im trying some customs roms to see if they can detect the ad hoc network out of the box, but so far I can only do it by replacing the wpa_supplicant and flashing the custom kernel from my previous post.
I'll keep posting my findings and try some other custom kernels as well.
So far this is what I got
Hi
So far this is my method to get (partial) ad hoc support for my N7 (wifi):
1) Start by rooting your device (you can use the Nexus 7 Root Toolkit).
2) Install CWM Recovery so you can install custom kernels.
3) Download and install this kernel https://github.com/monk-dot/SPAN/blob/master/kernels/ASUS%20Nexus%207/myupdate-nexus7.zip
4) Download and copy this wpa_supplicant file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1806937 into the /system/bin folder, be sure to set your wifi connection off, make a backup of the original file and after copying the file check the permissions to be 755
5) Create a text file with the following commands:
Code:
wpa_cli -p/var/run/wpa_supplicant scan
wpa_cli -p/var/run/wpa_supplicant scan_results
wpa_cli -p/var/run/wpa_supplicant remove_network 0
wpa_cli -p/var/run/wpa_supplicant ap_scan 2
wpa_cli -p/var/run/wpa_supplicant add_network
wpa_cli -p/var/run/wpa_supplicant set_network 0 ssid '"JOIKUSPOT"'
wpa_cli -p/var/run/wpa_supplicant set_network 0 scan_ssid 1
wpa_cli -p/var/run/wpa_supplicant set_network 0 frequency 2412
wpa_cli -p/var/run/wpa_supplicant set_network 0 mode 1
wpa_cli -p/var/run/wpa_supplicant set_network 0 group WEP40
wpa_cli -p/var/run/wpa_supplicant set_network 0 key_mgmt NONE
wpa_cli -p/var/run/wpa_supplicant set_network 0 wep_key0 '"12345"'
wpa_cli -p/var/run/wpa_supplicant set_network 0 wep_key1 12345
wpa_cli -p/var/run/wpa_supplicant set_network 0 wep_tx_keyidx 0
wpa_cli -p/var/run/wpa_supplicant save_config
wpa_cli -p/var/run/wpa_supplicant reconfigure
wpa_cli -p/var/run/wpa_supplicant enable_network 0
wpa_cli -p/var/run/wpa_supplicant select_network 0
Replace JOIKUSPOT with the ssid of your ad hoc network and set your password on the wep_key0 and wep_key1 variables, if you are using an open network just delete this lines:
Code:
wpa_cli -p/var/run/wpa_supplicant set_network 0 wep_key0 '"12345"'
wpa_cli -p/var/run/wpa_supplicant set_network 0 wep_key1 12345
wpa_cli -p/var/run/wpa_supplicant set_network 0 wep_tx_keyidx 0
6) Save the file "adhoc.sh" (be sure to save it in UNIX format, you can use notepad++ for this) and copy it into your device (I saved my script in /sdcard).
7) Turn the wifi connection back on and with a terminal emulator/ADB run the scrit
Code:
#cd /sdcard
#sh adhoc.sh
And now we're done!
You can see in your wifi settings your ad hoc network connected. But there are some issues, I cant see other networks on the list, even when I try to search for new networks, I can browse the web but cant connect to the play store, and with BlueVPN you could browse the store but couldn't download apps, the wifi icon in the notification bar is also gray color, after searching the forums this could mean I cannot connect to google services, but I still receive gmail notifications.
Well, I'll have to research more, but at least I think we're in the right way, to me this is a kernel/wpa_supplicant issue, I really wish some expert could help us out, or else I'll have to get into kernel compiling, I have a little linux experience and its been a while I dont get my hands into programming, but I'm not giving up just yet.
P.S: After checking with the terminal emulator, I started the command wpa_cli and this is the output I got:
Code:
[email protected]:/ # wpa_cli
wpa_cli
wpa_cli v2.0-devel-4.2.1

Interactive mode
<3>Trying to associate with SSID 'JOIKUSPOT'
<3>Association request to the driver failed

There seems to be a driver problem, I'll take a look into it too as soon as I can.
BTW I found this wpa_supplicat / wpa_cli files from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980021 since the stock rom doesnt come with the wpa_cli command, these files seem to be for ICS but I tried them on JB and they work too.
Just a quick heads up
I've updated my n7 to rootbox v2.0 (comes with JB 4.2.2) and now I cannot connect it to my hotspot with my previous method, after checking my /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf file now shows this line:
network={
ssid="JOIKUSPOT"
.
.
disabled=1
}
What the heck does this mean? seems to be that the more I update my tablet the harder is getting to connect it to my ad hoc network, this makes me think maybe google wants to erradicate ad hoc wifi support from the OS, to me this is dumbest thing I ever heard since this tablet is WIFI only, isn't supposed to support ANY wifi network it finds in order to work properly? other OS like iOS or Symbian does still support it. Just the fact that i cannot use my tablet the way I want it to is very disappointing, and now I face two options: 1) Downgrade the tablet and never let it update again. 2) Install ubuntu and never again install android.
Im very sorry to say this but this is my first android device and my experience with it is very unsatisfactory, sometimes I wish I could get a refund and try the iPad mini or wait for any decent windows rt tablet.
For now I think i'm going for my option 2, tomorrow ubuntu will release the tablet version of their OS for the nexus 7, ill check it out and ill tell you my experience with it.
Please, if someone knows any of the senior contributors/developers of this community, please make them notice this issue, its almost unbelievable that ad hoc support haven't been fixed from android since issue #82, the original linux kernel supports it, and then google stripped it out and nobody got a response about this in the forums/groups, I know this is not an easy task, cause the android SDK doesnt support it either, also that you have to add the IBSS driver into the kernel and patch the wpa_supplicant file to stop filtering ad hoc networks, I still dont know if many people have requested this feature why even the modding community for android havent come with a concrete solution for this, there are a lot of kernel modders out there and I could find only one kernel that would work for me. I have to say that the most frustrating part of this situation is the lack of answers from the forums, I know this post already reached 1000 views, this means there's people still looking for an answer like me.
I have been trying lots of things on my new nexus 7 running 4.2.2 to try and get ad hoc networking working.
I have tried all the wpa_supplicant files I can find and even tried patching and compiling (using modified patches from h t t p://szym.net/2010/12/adhoc-wifi-in-android/) my own with no luck.
There are some musings at h t t p://szym.net/2010/12/prospects-of-ad-hoc-wifi-in-android/ saying we may never got it
I'll keep trying different things as this is something I really want
finally!
I found this custom rom (cm10 - 4.2.2 based) that has full IBSS support:
http://b-real.org/2013/ad-hoc-ibss-mode-support-for-android-4-2-2-with-cyanogenmod/
http://www.thinktube.com/android-tech/46-android-wifi-ibss
Here we provide information, patches and a few system images to support Ad-Hoc (IBSS) mode. We base our additions on CyanogenMod 10.1-M2 (Android 4.2.2 JDQ39).
Our goal is to bring the missing Ad-Hoc (IBSS) mode to Android, in a way that is completely integrated into the Android system API and user-interface. Users should be able to create and connect to Ad-Hoc networks from the standard user interface (Settings – WiFi) and Applications should have an API to configure their “own” Ad-Hoc network. We believe this will help people who need more capability than WiFi Direct and can extend diverse usages of Android mobile devices.
To achieve this, we have modified the WLAN driver “bcmdhd”, extended the Android framework, the public Android API and added the missing parts to the “Settings” application. At this moment only Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 devices are supported and tested, but the same kernel modifications can be made to a number of devices and the UI will automatically show Ad-Hoc mode options when the driver supports it.
We have submitted these changes to CyanogenMod and Google AOSP Gerrit and provide this page for further information.

I have tested it on my nexus 7 and it can detect my nokia hotspot (joikuspot) flawlessly
Downloaded and installed this last night and it works great. I can connect to my nokia 808 using ad-hoc wifi now from my nexus 7.
Today my Cyanogenmod made an automatic update to 10.1.0 RC1 and the ad hoc wifi works fine
I have found a way to connect any modem to the tablet even if the tablet does not recognizes it. your device must be ROOTED to do so. I am not a developer, i just found out somewhere and modified the instructions to make it easy. i am not responsible to any thing that happens to your device (however this method isn't risky at all).
Just follow the instructions and enjoy. First download the attachment...
. First you need to move the modem to "modem only" for this you will need a terminal, you can use Hyper Terminal on windows.
Google search for AT commands for your modem to make it modem only mode and how to do that.
All right .... transferred the modem to the modem-only mode ....
Then note the vid and pid of your modem. one way to do this is to connect the modem to computer then go to device manager, expand modems, right click your modem >properties>details.
2. Next we need ES File Explorer
Install it on your tablet ... Open, go to settings -> Root rights, and tick all checkboxes.
3. Then go to /system/bin/preinstall.sh on your tablet and add a line to the file using es file explorer echo "19d2 1176" > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id (see my preinstall.sh in the archive).
here 19d2 is my modem (vodafone K3370-z) vid and 1176 the pid. replace the vid and pid with your own.
REEBOT YOUR TABLET
4.There is a folder peers in the archive you downloaded. open conf-chat in the folder with es file explorer and replace your apn here with the apn of your service provider .
When the tablet does not recognize the modem it will not generate ttyUSB files which are needed to communicate with the modem. In Step 3 you made the tablet to recognize the modem and it now generates the ttyUSB files. You can check that in Terminal emulator(download from play store) by typing "dmesg" command(without qoutes). scroll the output down, you will see the generated ttyUSB ports as given in attached screenshot Pic1. It also gives the number of ports genetated. If you see these lines you can Connect your modem to Internet. But wait a minute you have additional things to do in order to get connected.
Now you need to find which port is pppd port because we need it to insert in the file Conf-pppd in peers folder of the archive you downloaded. (open the conf-pppd using wordpad you would see ttyUSB1 on the top because pppd port of my modem is 1, those modems who has pppd port at 1 would be able to connect without any modifications, if the pppd port of your modem is not 1 you would have to edit it e.g if the pppd port of your modem is 2, the top line in conf-pppd would look like ttyUSB2 and so on)
To determine which is pppd port follow the below steps...(see the attached screenshots)
Open 2 windows in terminal emulator. (you can copy paste the commands in terminal emulator)
(1) In first window type busybox tr -s "\n" < /dev/ttyUSBx (Pic2)
where x is the first port generated by your modem.(this command opens the port)
(2) Now in window 2 type echo -e "ATi\r" > /dev/ttyUSBx (pic3)
Here x is the same you typed in window 1.
You would see OK in WINDOW 1(Not in window 2). IF YOU DONT SEE ANY OUTPUT IN WINDOW 1(pic4), YOU HAVE TO UNPLUG YOUR MODEM AND PLUG IT AGAIN AND THEN USE NEXT PORT. yOU HAVE TO DO THIS EVERY TIME YOU DONT SEE ANY OUTPUT. IF YOU DO SEE AN OUTPUT PROCEED TO NEXT STEP.(pic 5, 6, and 7)
(3) Again type echo -e "AT+CGDCONT=1,\"IP\",\"www\"\r" > /dev/ttyUSBx in window 2. (Pic8)
Here replace www with your apn
You will see the OK again in window 1.(pic9)
(4) Again type echo -e "ATDT*99#\r" > /dev/ttyUSBx in WINDOW 2(pic10)
You will See the output in window 1. if you see ERROR in window 1, then it is your AT port not PPPD port. Unplug your modem and try next port untill you get CONNECT message in window 1(pic11). If you get Connect Message the at any port then it is your pppd port. IF you get these messages at port 2, then replace 1 in ttyUSB with 2, ehich then reads ttyUSB2 at the top of conf-pppd file.
Now copy the folder Peers in /etc/ppp/ in your sd card.
Install the application GScript_Mod.apk lies just in the archive .... open it and add the two scripts in the folder gscript of your sdcard : inet-ON.sh (Which brings up connection) and inet-OFF.sh (which disables the connection)
5. REBOOT TABLET. insert the modem. Start the application Gscript and run inet-ON.sh(pic12)
If you do everything on the instructions, your modem will connect to the Internet, although you will not see the 3G connection on the tablet...(pic13)
Thanks for reading..
Great Work..

Great work.Usefull
Instructions added...
oops, i forgot some vital instructions earlier which i have added in bold letters now. Please view those if you were not able to connect to internet earlier and give your experiences.
great work, now i can connect any dongle to my tab. took some time though to make the dongle to modem only mode.
thanks.
Hi there,
I have checked the presence of ttyUSB into the /dev, but when I run the inet-ON I get.

which sim r u using? and what are the settings for the connection? these problems arise due to incorrect settings. check pm
Hi Bhaskar1109,
thanks for your reply. As you suggested, I have check all installation and I found the mistake, using the adb command I pushed the conf-pppd file but with the conf-chat's file contents .
So now "almost" it works fine. Almost because I have to give manually from adb shell or terninal:
echo "1ee8 0014" > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id
in order to create the USBtty
and when the connection is on
setprop net.dns1 208.67.222.222
to set the dns server, because when I run the inet-ON.sh i get the error:
stderr: usage: setprop <key> <value>
This time I have checked the preinstall.sh and inet-ON.sh contents and permissions.
Any clues?

thanks for your reply. As you suggested, I have check all installation and I found the mistake, using the adb command I pushed the conf-pppd file but with the conf-chat's file contents .
So now "almost" it works fine. Almost because I have to give manually from adb shell or terninal:
echo "1ee8 0014" > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id
in order to create the USBtty
and when the connection is on
setprop net.dns1 208.67.222.222
to set the dns server, because when I run the inet-ON.sh i get the error:
stderr: usage: setprop <key> <value>
This time I have checked the preinstall.sh and inet-ON.sh contents and permissions.
Any clues?

Maybe that you have done some typing mistakes like extra spaces etc. and have you restarted your tablet?. you can set dns in inet-on.sh file. Are you able to browse internet normally after these commands?
p.s Google play and internal download manager may not work. You can browse play market but cannot install any apps(probably). UC browser download manager works fine. Use 1 mobile market instead of google play.
I have done other tests and now the only small issue is that I have to run the
echo "1ee8 0014" > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id
into a separate sh file because seems that doesn't work into preinstall.sh file.
Anyway all works fine and let me say that you have done a great and clever job.
Thanks
it s cool
Hello Bhaskar1109,
I have the tablet N101 by Yuandao and I was successfully using PPPwidget with a Huawei E173 stick for 3G browsing.
Recently it stopped connecting, so after searching new alternatives, I found your very useful topic. I would appreciate your help, since I am trying now to find a way to make it work with your way.
I started using your guide, but I cant pass Step 4 with the terminal emulators.
First of all in Terminal Emulator, when I run dmesg command I get "converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0" and I get this for all USB (0,1,2)
Then when I run busybox tr -s "\n" < /dev/ttyUSBx ( I tried with USB0 till USB2), I am getting a message "cannot open /dev/ttyUSB0 (0,1,2)"
Any help?

the ports will be available only when the tab recognizes it as a modem. Following questions might help-
Is your tab Rooted?
Is your modem OK?
Is you modem vid pid correct?
Have You followed step 3 Correctly?Can You see the new line in preinstall.sh?
Have you restarted the tab?
Have You given su permissions to the scripts?

Since I mentioned before that this dongle was working right for some time with PPP widget, I think most of your questions are already covered.
From your experience, could the Otg cable have started to fail and create these problems that never had before?
The command dmesg is showing that first these ports are available and after they are not.
Also, I think its important that I get this ""cannot open /dev/ttyUSB0 (0,1,2). No such file or directory"
Unleashed by my rooted Nexus 4
Gscript is not working .and from step 4 my confusion starts.

Sorry i didnt notice the ppp widget thing.
It may be otg problem, otherwise why would ppp widget failed suddenly at the first place. i suggest u to replace the cable and try again.

Can you tell what exactly is the problem/error with Gscript?
Error i faced...
I installed Gscript apk from your download link from your thread. I put that two script under sdcard/"another folder"/gscript. I opened gscript application and it says "process.android.com(alike this) stop working". What happened to my tablet. Im using micromax funbook p300. Is there is any way or the other to let it work ?
I have rooted my Nexus 7. Currently, the only way to change my MAC address is the following:
Code:
$ echo -n <MAC> > /persist/wifi/.macaddr
Using busybox ifconfig seems to work because new HWaddr is shown but in fact it doesn't - Settings->About tablet->Status shows old Wi-Fi Mac address. Additionally I cannot connect to AP any more. OpenWRT says:
deauthenticated due to local deauth request
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I can write a script to automatically write new MAC to /persist/wifi/.macaddr and reboot, no problem, but I would prefer to avoid rebooting.
Kernel version 3.4.0-g03485a6, Android 4.4.4, Nexus 7 2013 Wi-Fi only.
Is this possible?
Has anyone ever got this to work? I'm searching on a way to have my MAC address changed upon booting the device and keeping it that way. Using ifconfig/busybox just allows you to change the MAC on that "boot session" and reverts back when you disconnect from an AP. I want to change my "stock MAC" from the get-go so that if I disconnect from an AP, it wont go back to the actual one. There is no /persist/wifi dir on my Nexus 7. Anyone who has done this before who can tell me how to do it?
Hello! I just got an unlocked LG G2 few days ago. I've gotten as far as enabling Tether, to work, and paritally got to mount it on my PC.
But I keep reading that libMTP is pretty much unstable on Linux. And I've only gotten to see it on banshee last night, but the moment I closed it, I never got to see it again.
I read a topic post that allows a user to mount about any android device on any unix based OS (Or at least) via SSHFS, currently I'm trying to do so. (But it keeps failing for some reason).
So in short, I'm currently unable to connect my phone to my Linux (Mint Xfce 17) PC without any major errors (MTP keeps giving me Function Not Implemented or a Input/Output Error, while I need a wifi (specifically a wifi access point, tether didn't seem to work) to connect via SSHFS), and am currently looking for a way to do so.
Anyone had any success?
Bump.......
Welp. I found a solution. After 3 days of searching (Days prior to the topic posting counted) I found out a way to do it.
Documentation (For anyone who might have the same issue)
You need a blank pendrive, and sshfs, a ssh server for android (I used SSHelper, if you're tethering, uncheck "Enable Wifi While Running", and the SSH IP address is the Device, though it'll say 0.0.0.0.)
1) Plug in your pendrive and if you want, mount it ( I did)
2) Go to terminal and write. You might need to allow allow_others in /etc/fuse.conf (Just remove the comment)
Code:
sshfs -o allow_other -o idmap=user [email protected]:/storage/emulated/0 -p PORT /media/$USER/PendriveName
3) Open Banshee, Ignore MTP Device (if it appears, in my case it did), and proceed to Sync Music To the new "Device"
IF The Pendrive/USB Stick doesn't appear you might need an .is_audio_player file.
Code:
name="LG G2 Drive"
audio_folders=Music/
audio_folder=Music/
Hope this helps
