Notes on mounting and unmounting an Android Phone

If you do not have USB Mass Storage option any more on your Android phone to connect it to Ubuntu, but have Media Device (MTP) and Camera (PTP) instead, you have the following options:

A) You connect the phone with PTP, which works out of the box, but you'll only reach the camera related files from your device.

B) You try to hack around making MTP work to be able to reach all your files.

I went along with the latter case, and have not finished the process just yet, so I just list the pages that came along:
