Updates to the project seem to be slow. I have had no luck using my Motorola Droid Tubo with this lib. The error I get is: Device 0 (VID=22b8 and PID=2e61) is UNKNOWN in libmtp v1.1.10.

libmtp just worked perfectly for my Go-Gear Vibe. So happy to find an apt opensource alternative to manage my device. Good job you all. You rock. \m/
