Hello guys, i have version MIUI 8.1.3 stable, is there any way to enable usb mass storage so that when i connect my phone to my pc i can see it as usb and not this bull**** MTP stuff? MTP is so slow and it always gets stuck when i try to make folders or move files within the phone.
Thank you very much!

Hey guys.
Does having this checked stop apps from automatically installing to SD like some do?
I ask this as i would like to have it ticked all the time to stop having to go into the settings and enabling mass storage.
any info would be sweet.
Cheers!
If you check Mass Storage Only in Settings/SD card & phone storage settings, it will automatically connect your phone in Mass Storage mode when you plug it via usb on your pc. That does not affect the way the SD is handled by the phone when not connected to the pc, so apps can install normally.
So you can tick it and don't worry about that when not connected to pc.
You may want to uncheck that when trying to connect via adb though, or when upgrading firmware via pc.
Cheers!
just what i needed to know
It doesn't affect the installation of apps it just puts your phone in mass storage mode directly when you connect it to your pc.
You also don't have to always chose mass storage mode from settings, if you don't have USB debugging turned on, a pop-up screen will appear with a button to turn USB mass storage on/off, or you can do it from the drop down status bar tap the USB connection notification and select mass storage.
When I plugged USB cable, my phone connected as media device (MTP) instead detected as Mass Storage.. Under Developer Options already checked USB Debugging.. I have to manually go to More in Wireless and Networks option then USB Utilities then select Connect Storage to PC.. How do i make it automatically detect as Mass Storage... I did uninstall certain system apps but is it related..? any idea guys??

That the way it is with ICS. MTP connection is the default. There are solutions to make mass storage the default, check out this thread: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1548119 from about post #8 onwards

thank you for your quick reply and appreciate your help.. guess in ICS need to 'always' select Connect to PC Storage in order to get Mass Storage connection...
Fixed with CM11 M9
Hello!
By default, CM11 only provides MTP mode when connecting the device to a PC.
However, this mode is not working if you run a Linux PC.
The only mode working is USB Mass Storage, but this mode is not available in CM11.
Question:
1. Why is USB Mass Storage mode unavailable in CM11?
2. Are there plans to have this mode available in a newer release?
3. Is there a workaround to fix this issue?

you dont want to use that any way it has soos slow copying speed :S something is broken in cm

Which mode should I not use?
MTP or USB Mass Storage?
With Linux PC I cannot use any mode, therefore it's irrelevant which one is fast and which one is slow.

Not sure why this problem would occur. I assume it is a rom problem and not a problem with your computer.
I'm sorry if this has already been answered (I couldn't find it) but I am having trouble finding USB mass storage mode on cyanogenmod 12. I get MTP and PTP but not Mass storage mode.
Any ideas?

MTP is essentially USB mass storage that's what you should be using.

last CM12 nightly i tried had usb mass host broken so check cmxlog and see if and when if they have fixed.
Previously i was able to connect my phone with my TV via USB MASS STORAGE (TV was able to detect my phone as a storage device), i could access the videos & songs after connecting it through but now i can't do that.
What i think is USB Mass Storage has been disabled on core Android/CyanogenMod in favor of MTP and PTP as there is a problem with the way mass storage works. When you connecte the device to the computer then mass storage method needs exclusive access of the storage (intarnal extarnal sd card) and so it disconnects totally from the Android operating system running on the device. Any files or apps stored on the SD card or USB storage would be unavailable to android os when it was connected to the computer so to make Android os running smooth during that pc connection but I can't appreciate this as mass storage is really essential to connect it to inferior devices like TVs and car music player.
Anyone know a way to activate mass storage in Android? Running on Android 5.0.2/Cyanogen 12
Came to this thread because I'm looking for the same thing, yet for my Xperia ZL. I've found MTP mode unstable on my device (even with stock ROM) and using it as Mass Storage Device is the only reliable way to access my 64GB SDCard. So IMO +1 on MTP/PTP not being the only available USB modes out there!
any update on this issue???
