Go-mtpfs
From Gentoo Wiki
Go-mtpfs is a simple FUSE-based filesystem written in Go language for mounting Android devices as a MTP device.
Note
Newer Galaxy Devices (S3, S4, Note2, etc.) use their own MTP-stack and do not work reliably, although this should be fixed in newer versions. See Bug#29 for more details.

Installation
Prerequisites
Allow live builds for two packages in /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords:
FILE
/etc/portage/package.accept_keywordsdev-libs/go-fuse **
sys-fs/go-mtpfs **
Kernel
See the MTP meta article or the FUSE article for instructions on enabling FUSE support in the Linux kernel.
Emerge
Install sys-fs/go-mtpfs:
root #emerge --ask sys-fs/go-mtpfsConfiguration
Appropriate users need to be in the plugdev group:
root #gpasswd -a <USER_NAME> plugdevUsage
user $mkdir ~/AndroidDevice
user $go-mtpfs ~/AndroidDevice &
Note: If go-mtpfs is not ran in the background (with & at the end), another console will be needed to browse the device and unmount the device (when finished).
Unmount:
user $fusermount -u ~/AndroidDeviceWhen the device is unmount, go-mtpfs will quit.
Bugs
- dev-libs/go-fuse-9999 right now has a bug 638912 that prevents it from building.
- MTP is very unreliable on some devices, old files & directories keep showing up, new ones don't get updated. One way to update media storage database is through SD Scanner.
