SlimBean and USB Mass Storage

Ishan jain
I really need USB Mass Storage, don't judje me.

Have been using SlimBean for a while now on my Samsung Galaxy S II, about a month ago I installed SlimBean 4.2.1 RC1.

Of all things it was missing USB Mass Storage. MTP is all fine and good, but when I want to be able to do more then one thing on the phone (browsing the SDCard and coping files) it fails grandly.

After a bit of search on the net, i found a CLI command that enabled it for me, and it might potentially work on any rooted android device.

Here it is:

  1. Install Android Terminal Emulator

  2. Type (each command in its own line):

    su
    setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb
    reboot
    

Here is a article on XDA for more info on persist.sys.usb.config and how to get back to MTP.

BTW, it looks like SlimBean 4.2.1 RC2 has the options enabled by default.
