"yum install gnomad2" will pull in the rest.

I'd never heard of this, perhaps because the word "Android" is mentioned
nowhere in the yum info or the man page, but it does actually seem to
work, for some values of "work". It's grindingly slow until you turn off
the "fetch full meta-data" preference -- which is on by default -- and
the UI needs attention. Also it segfaults on closing, but with these
caveats it did transfer a bunch of files quite quickly to my Galaxy
Nexus.

And it doesn't include a music player, which is a big plus in my
book :-)
