I think with MTP there can be issues owing to implementation details - some phones will have trouble with some MTP tools.

Hmm, according to https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/sys-fs/jmtpfs this package looks rather unmaintained, last changed in November 2013. There are also https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/sys-fs/mtpfs which doesn't look much better, maintenance-wise, and https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/sys-fs/simple-mtpfs which at least seems maintained. There are quite a few other packages listed at https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/MTP where it's also mentioned that Thunar can connect to MTP file systems using the "xfce-extra/thunar-volman" package. Personally I haven't yet used any of these because I'm quite satisfied using "adb" from package "dev-util/android-tools". Sincerely, Rainer
