This variant of adbfs workous even WITHOUT having root access (busybox) on your phone!
Instructions:
You will need libfuse-dev
and adb
. On ubuntu
sudo apt-get install libfuse-dev android-tools-adb
Clone the repository
git clone git://github.com/spion/adbfs-rootless.git
cd adbfs-rootless
Build
make
Optional: If you have a separate copy of android-sdk and would
like to use that adb, copy the binary adbfs to the android-sdk/platform-tools
directory. If platform-tools is in your $PATH you can skip this step.
Create a mount point if needed (e.g. in your home directory)
mkdir ~/droid
You can now mount your device (also from the platform-tools dir):
./adbfs ~/droid
Have fun!
