Cool project; I was kind of hoping when I saw the title it was a way to emulate USB over MTP, and not have to use the absolutely rubbish Android File Transfer application... but alas, not the case. Oh well.

The frameworks that AFT uses are open source if anyone wanted to make a better one :P

You've given my life purpose. By that I mean, AFT is the worst application I've used in my life, ever. It is that (un)reliable. And I need yet another side project.

Although not an ideal solution, I just use Airdroid when on OSX.

for my S3, I use an app on my (rooted) phone called EasyUMS to enable Mass Storage mode.

The other option is to try and find a better app that supports MTP.
