There is a gui for jmtpfs which is called transfero.
Never used... so I do not know if is good....
https://github.com/jerichofs/transfero/blob/master/README.md
https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/jerichofs/jaconda/ubuntu/pool/main/t/transfero/


Another package similar to jmtpfs should be mtpfs:
https://github.com/cjd/mtpfs


Anyway, I use ADB to transfer files via usb from an android phone to my devuan
system:

=== On the phone

- Enable developer options [1]

- Go to developer options and enable android debug (enable adb)

- Go to developer options and enable debug with root access

- Connect the phone via usb...

=== On your Linux system (adb should be installed)

- Start adb as root:
    $ adb root
    * daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
if you have a message like:
    adb: unable to connect for root: device unauthorized.
    This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set
    Try 'adb kill-server' if that seems wrong.
    Otherwise check for a confirmation dialog on your device.
then you need to authorize the connection in a confirmation dialog you
should have *on your phone*


- Now your device should be listed by
    $ adb devices -l
    List of devices attached
    XXXXXXXXXX  device usb:4-3 product:lineage_beyond1lte
    model:SM_G973F device:beyond1lte transport_id:2


- Using adb you can control your device: copy files back and forth, install
and uninstall apps, run shell commands, and more... see: [2][3][4] and/or
search for adb commands in the www
Note that in this way you can do many root actions on the phone also if it
has not been "rooted"!

- To list files on your phone:
    $ adb shell ls
    $ adb shell ls -R


- To copy files from your computer to the phone:
        $ adb push <computer_path> <phone_path>


- To copy files from the phone to your computer:
    $ adb pull <phone_path> <computer_path> 


=== On the phone

- Do not forget to disable developer options: go to developer options and
disable android debug (enable adb)
