[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RikkKeith:
I'm throwing this out there to see if anybody has experienced this issue. And IMPORTANT...this is nothing against the ROM...I know its gotta to be something on my end.

I installed a new ICS ROM 2 nights ago. Looking through the DEV thread it does look like I'm the only one who may be running into this issue. Well, one other person said he had this with all ICS ROMS and he just killed the media services, but reading through the thread of where I installed the ROM, no one else is complaining if this issue. So it's got to be something on my end. I'll post a screen shot at the end so you can see what I mean.

To start, I will tell you I ran into this issue with a previous ICS ROM about 3 weeks ago, so the next day I installed Racings ICS Port and the issue went away. I've used his port for about 3 weeks and decided to try this new ICS ROM out 2 days ago, and the issue returned.

I'll try and keep this short, but want to inform of all the steps. I installed the ROM following the OP's directions to a T...I changed my recovery to the non-touch version and did exactly what he said. When my media server would not stop running, the next morning I re-followed the OP's directions again and re-flashed the ROM. Same issue. Tried all day to figure what the heck is going on; so this morning I re-downloaded all the files, put them on my card, and re-flashed.

I had a bad flash and it would boot up (my first one so I freaked of course) but booted back into recovery and followed all the steps again, but this time I also went into mounts & Storage and formatted cache, data and system, then followed the OP's directions and re-flashed and it booted up...but still the same issue with the 'media server/scanner'. So that being said, here's a couple things.

When I go to the gallery, it has none of my pictures. In order for me to take a new picture, after letting the media scanner run for 1/2 hour, I kill it, then I can take a picture, otherwise the camera will open say media scanner running, then close right away if i don't kill the process before hand. It doesn't force close, just closes.

I followed the recommendation of another who said to try and wipe Dalvik cache, then use a file manager and move or create a file and see if that helps. It didn't.

I noticed though, when I do take a picture, i'll find the folder it's in and there are other photo's in there that never show up in my gallery, just the one I took. I tried to install another gallery today "Just Pictures' and it said it couldn't find the 'media store'. So I tried to do some research on that, but some of the info was WAY over my head.

Another quick note, Using CPU Spy, my CPU runs at 1242 MHz constantly if the media server is running, or my battery is plugged in. And when i kill the process's, it sleeps.

My thinking on this....and I could be way off, maybe the way the files are stored on my SD card with all the different flashes I've done, maybe that's missed something up and there not being found. Do different ROM's handle the media server different, as to why with 2 of the ICS ports I had that issue and one not.

I just want to say that other than that, I've had NO issues with the ROM. Everything else, all apps and everything is working. It's just this crazy media server. Why can't I get it to stop. What i don't get too is I followed the OP's direction to a T, 2 times and the third time I just did the mounts and storage thing. So really 3. So is something being left over, or do I have something else setup wrong as to why I would have this issue and not others. Are these processes handled by the kernel? I wonder if I just try to flash a kernel if that could possibly solve my issues..Grabbing at straws right now. :(

i'm not complaining about the ROM at all, just try to figure out what I'm doing, or not doing to cause this issue. I've done 3 fresh flashes so scratching my head.

If you took the time to read this...thanks. I don't expect anything, just seeing if maybe someone else has gone though this. I'll include a screen shot & my last logcat of trying to take a picture, to anybody who might be interested. I didn't want to clog up the DEV thread anymore.....Thanks!
