Root [MOD] UMS SDCard

Tired of having to use MTP to transfer files to your phone? Not working on your Linux box? Are the transfer speeds too slow? Want that full USB 2.0 Speed? Yea I did too. So I did this. It enables UMS mounting to computers. You'll want to Check the option "Connect to PC Software" from the Mounts menu under settings. It hijacks that option and makes it mount as UMS. :D

Doesn't seem to be working...what is your setup like? Thanks

edit...noticed it requires init.d which isnt supported yet...any way around it?
 
hmm the file wrote to /system/etc but it still shows up as an adb composite device

edit...ok i ran the scripts and it errors out because of no init.d and the other files listed do not exist
 
Got it to work. Had to run another script then yours in order in script manager and to unmount had to run a mtp script. Thanks! First I've been able to use mass storage.
 
strange, I tried flashing it in the Philz recovery that cooldudezach posted, but it errors out and aborts.

Here is what is outputs:
--Installing: /storage/sdcard1/ums-zte-8930-1.zip.zip

Any idea what is going on here?
 
I'm getting the same error listed above. I tried the listed recovery as well as Philz, and on two different phones, one running stock and one running AWE Custom KitKat Themed 2.0. Anything else it could be?
 
Thank you so much! Gave an error after installing in cwm, I just ignored it, still worked perfectly anyways. No issues, super fast, I could instantly view my files after connecting, and I can finally see how fast files are copying. Super happy about this. 19-20mb/s steady transfer. XD

U can actually do this with a build.prop edit :) change "ro.config.allow_UMS=false" to "ro.config.allow_UMS=true"
