usbmuxd VS netmuxd

Popos seems to come with usbmuxd, which is a cool idea because it allows you to view the "documents" on an iphone (look into each app's sandbox), use USB tethering and theoretically transfer photos. You're supposed to get two icons when an iphone is connected. One for documents, and another for photos. I'm not getting the photos one and I have some photos I want to transfer.

Thanks! Just curious, was there a specific one that you'd noticed was tied in to what I'm seeing? I found this one, which at least by its description sounds like the inverse problem (doesn't work right after reboot, but works on subsequent attempts) but I might be missing.

According to the wiki page, usbmuxd should start as soon as I plug in my device, but that doesn't seem to happen. I checked and found the udev rule that should govern that at /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/39-usbmuxd.rules and it matches the rules file provided on the usbmuxd git repo. Even when I try to start usbmuxd manually my device just doesn't seem to show up, though running it in the foreground does reveal that it sees that something gets plugged in. It just doesn't seem to connect the device properly or anything. My main litmus test for if it's connected well is to run ideviceinfo. I always just get back that there is no device connected.

go to the Installation section on this page and look for Debian/Ubuntu Linux: https://github.com/libimobiledevice/usbmuxd

Thanks to this son of a bitch for making this shit wifi sync: https://github.com/jkcoxson/netmuxd

I never made it work but netmuxd can technically work on Windows. But you will lose wired connection support, so you will still have to install iTunes to pair the device.

Clone the netmuxd repo git clone https://github.com/jkcoxson/netmuxd.git

I will do a tutorial if I have time tomorrow, but still, just read their GitHub page if it’s not clear and you can’t wait for the tutorial. It’s explaining well.
