Mount `/` instead of `/storage/emulated/0/` #339

Can you start GUI and check if storage drop down is working for you?

bphd commented 4 months ago

Well I can acheive to mount as is when connecting, it mounts /storage/emulated/0/

Can you start GUI and check if storage drop down is working for you?

The reason I'm asking, is that MTP can only access file system via "storages". Their list is in that drop down I mentioned, also there's a way of getting "combined" view of all storages all together. If there's no root - then it's not possible.

I'm rooted but I want to know how to modify the content of that drop-down list, to make appearing root

whoozle commented 4 months ago

it's sent via MTP protocol, I guess you need to look into android MTP host sources to achieve that, not MTP protocol itself

bphd commented 4 months ago

Where to look that?

I think here:

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/services/Mtp/+/refs/heads/main/src/com/android/mtp

I think the host side MTP entry point is

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/services/Mtp/+/refs/heads/main/src/com/android/mtp/MtpService.java

But I'm no android expert at all.

There's also kernel helper for transferring files, but I guess it's irrelevant in a case you want to expose root fs.
