This is a fork of a fork of a fork of streetwalrus' USB Mountr application. I am planning to call it PhoneStick, but this project is still in its infancy.
forked from Swyter/phonestick
who forked it from dratini0/phonestick
who forked it from donfanning/android_usb_msd (aka streetwalrus.usbmountr ?)
I've also added filepicker fixes from kodiak-it/USB_Mountr/ and replaced the USB gadget code with Swyter/android-usb-mass-storage-enable
If you're interested in getting DriveDroid working with more recent Android hardware there's also:
Magisk module fixing DriveDroid app functionality on some new Android devices
Below is the original README of USB Mountr.
A helper application to set the Mass Storage Device gadget up in Android kernels
Android kernels still include a USB MSD component in their device gadget nowadays, though it is mostly unused since
Android started using MTP. Some OEM ROMs still use it to provide a drivers installation "disc", but it is otherwise
useless.
This application leverages the module in order to let you use your device as a standard USB thumbdrive for the purpose
of, e.g., booting a distro ISO.
Standard gradle build process.
...are welcome, I'm looking for a better icon, and if you feel like implementing it before I do, a menu to create blank images. Feel free to translate the application to your own language as well.
