Android app to enable android device mass storage or debug mode
Enable android device mass storage
Note: This App was developed in the early days of Ice Cream Sandwich Ports. At this time none of the Ports had native USB Mass Storage support and this App was meant as a temporary workaround to use UMS nevertheless. So this App won't be interesting for you, unless the ICS or JB Port you use still doesn't natively support UMS. If that is the case, here comes help:
Update for Jelly Bean: I successfully tested the App (v1.1.4!) with the first test release of a Jelly Bean Rom for Nexus One.
Update for MTP: I probably found a way to permanent support UMS for devices that originally use MTP, but I don't have a device to test this. So, if preferably a Galaxy Nexus owner would be so kind to test a few things for me, please contact us. Thanks!.
USB Mass Storage for ICS and JB (that doesn't have native UMS support (yet))
The app starts automatically after booting up the device and automatically detects when the device is being connected via USB to a computer. Then a notification pops up in the notification bar and by tapping on the notification you will open a GUI to enable/disable USB Mass Storage; just/almost like the original UMS feature.

For the devices listed above, the App works like a charm.
A few Notes:
Sync- / Multiple Partition-Issue
If you have multiple partitions on your SD card, you might have a problem with file list syncing. When UMS is enabled and you alter files on your SD via Computer, you won't see the changes on your device (and vice-versa). The app will work nevertheless. All copied/deleted files are there/gone! It is just a sync problem. Resync and you'll see it.
Pre release version (Sync- / Multiple Partition-Fix)
Beside the stable version 1.1.4, there exists a pre-release version of 1.2.0 that fix the sync issue. Feel free use this version, but be aware of the fact that not all of the settings from the menu are working yet! At the moment, this is basically v1.1.4 with improved layout and sync fix. So please don't report bugs for the settings that doesn't work.
MTP
Another thing to note is that devices using MTP (such as the Galaxy Nexus) most probably won't be able to use UMS via the App at all. There have been reported a few suggestions to fix that, but atm those fixes doesn't work. I'm working on that, but i'm doing this in my sparetime and don't have a device that uses MTP myself, so it's hard to work on that. Anyway you can try.
