(how to) automount USB ports

O' Tay, I have a few different WM/DE installed here on VOidLiNux -- now 
this automounting of the USB Ports, is getting me  very curious as to how 
does lxde and Enlightenment automount when i3 and dwm does not, mostly 
thinking in the manner of pcmanfm or simulaire FileManager when open up one 
needs to see the USB mounted devices, what ever they are and reguardless if 
it is on, /dev/sdc . /dev/sdd , /dev/sde  etc... I was reading how to's on 
this matter using autofs - then in my working this almost solution, when I 
went to istall autofs and seen that is was going to install it. I stopped 
-- said to myself, if it is not installed, then what is this system using 
to do the same thing I want it to do already? 

Just not in i3 or dwm when I am using pcmanfm, but in my de lxde and E they 
work with their respective filemanangers, and on the deaktops, minus the 
desktop, in i3 and dwm, because they are titling wm. nevertheless the 
filemanagers within these two wm and others should still have this same 
capability to automount USB Ports. 

with autofs this help me how to post is telling me I have to get the make 
of what ever it is that is pluged into it not just the fact that something 
just got pluged into it so figure it out then deal with it accordingly. as 
this is what my DE are doing.

example right now I have a little Andriod Phone pluged in so I can copy 
some movies over onto it to watch , and a 1TB hard drive using an IDE to 
USB adaptor.
/run/media/userx/4489-120D  <--- that being my android Ph /dev/sdc
/run/media/userx/winlinux  <--- that being my external HDD /dev/sdd

these are generic mount points that to me have to be getting generated 
automaticlly and not like it is said to do using autofs where I have to 
explicedly tell it the make of what ever it is I am pluging into the USB 
port limiting the ability to just plug in what ever make of USB stick or 
hdd / exteranl HDD to use in USB. (I maybe off on this thought a little) 
but nevertheless, this instruction is telling me I have to write a file 

in the example they show this, 

$ udevinfo -a -p /sys/block/sdc/ | grep model
    ATTRS{model}=="Ext HDD 1021    "


Now, that we have model attribute, we can add it to 
/etc/udev/rules.d/custom.rules by following line:

SUBSYSTEM=="scsi", ATTRS{model}=="Ext HDD 1021    ", SYMLINK+="Iomega%n"

I understand in /etc/udev/rules.d/ the only file I have in their so far is 
this one, 10-network.rules

SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTR{address}=="00:21:6a:be:c7:08", 
NAME="wlan0"

where the ATTR is hard coded because the MAC address never changes, and the 
ATTRS for a USB will, 

this is my andriod ph /run/media/userx/4489-120D 
 userx@void :^rules.d^ @~&udevadm info -a -p /sys/block/sdc | grep model
    ATTRS{model}=="File-CD Gadget  "

this is my external HDD /run/media/userx/winlinux 
 userx@void :^rules.d^ @~&udevadm info -a -p /sys/block/sdd | grep model
    ATTRS{model}=="                "

as you can see between /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd the ATTRS will change 
depending on what it is one plugs into it. as well as where are the files 
VOidLiNux uses to get their auto mounts working, as I can planly see they 
are not using the /etc/udev/rules.d/ with USB Ports. VOidLiNux is showing 
4489-120D and the lable on the HDD winlinux as mount points, the example 
for autofs says I got a use the output of udev model one shows something 
and the other is left blank on my laptop, two different things, meaning I'd 
ahve to type in every kind of mode that can be plugged into a USB to get it 
to automount? when I can see VOidLiNux and others have a better way to do 
it. 

so the question would be. How do I plug i3 and dwm and anything else 
(wm/de) I need to in order to use this methoid of behavor that VOidLiNux is 
having with the DE and E? Especially when using any number of FileManagers. 
what little "secret" program and or meth are they using to get this auto 
USB Port mount to work that I can tie into when using pcmanfm in i3 and dwm 
(so far)?
