Bug Description

On plugging the phone in to my PC it is detected and displayed in my device list as "krillin". The root folder mounted using MTP is also named "krillin".

This is a bit redundant and doesn't give the user any clues as to what is being written to on a transfer.

On Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 devices this root folder is named "Internal Storage".

On a BQ Vegata running Android this is called "Phone Storage"; if a SD Card is inserted a directory is created at this level called "SD-card".

We should probably rename this to something similar.

Here when you mean Nexus 4 or 5 you mean with Android, right? Ubuntu on Nexus 4 and 5 is also using the device name there.

Still think the folder currently named "krillin" should be "Internal Storage" or similar.

This seems to be a good bit of interface polish for an ota

It now says Aquaris E4.5 Uuntu Edition which seems quite nice
