Hi,
I'm currently busy sanding down a few remaining edges, and one thing that's left is accessing Android phones. On less conservative distros based on KDE Plasma 5, this is a no-brainer, since all you have to do is plug in the phone and then browse its content using Dolphin or some other file manager. Unfortunately this is not possible with the version of KDE shipping with CentOS 7.
I'm not sure about a GUI file browser, but using simple-mtpfs works fine for me. With sudo, plug the phone in, and then simple-mtpfs /mnt (assuming nothing else is under /mnt), causes a message to appear on the phone, do I wish to allow it, I tap allow, then run the command again, and the phone's files appear under mount. It's not something I do too often, so I don't bother with a directory special directory to mount the phone or worry about getting it done as normal user, but simple-mtpfs works well for my limited needs.
