That's not going to get removed too often. My current phone (Kyocera Torque) is essentially unusable without an SD Card. P.S. If there is a setting to tell google play to install to SD card, let me know. I keep running out of internal space because I forget to move new apps.

When you mount an SD card over UMS, it is functionally identical to "removing" the card from an application's perspective.

I would trade the ability to mount an SD card over UMS for the changes in kitkat in a heartbeat. MTP sucks, but this change sucks more.
