Description Philip Langdale 2013-02-10 18:12:48 UTC 
The Android MTP implementation provides extensions that allow for in-place read/write of files - thereby allowing for support for the normal read and write behaviours in the gvfs mtp backend.

There's no formal documentation of these extensions, but the author of go-mtpfs has pointed out his implementation to me:

https://github.com/hanwen/go-mtpfs/commit/66c99c4ff75e9d6d99e11586a336acc6f8e4310b

The calls are pretty simple, and I've got a working read prototype right now. I need to push underlying support for the calls into libmtp as well.
