Kde
Amazingly, MTP can also work with KDE. To do that you need to activate the kde layer (from zugaina). And install kio-mtp (unstable) The kio-mtp uses libmtp to support the transfer.



Then quit KDE, and relaunch it. Now your favorite android devices appear in dolphin.

Troubleshooting

 * If your device is not recognized by libmtp, try upgrading to latest (or even live) version.
 * Sometimes (e.g. on HTC One X) USB debugging automatically turns on when device is connected to PC. You need to turn debugging off, otherwise libmtp can't recognize device.
 * Make sure your Android device is not going to sleep and the screen is not getting locked. Set screen timeout to very long values, or enable in Development section flag "Do not turn off the screen".
