As it worked four others I assumed you missed something in the process.

As long as you can handle that sneaky service, I guess every workaround does the trick.

But I've followed your work and what you've done so far is great. As far as I'm considered, you've done more than enough. So don't feel obligated. If you can't, then you can't. We'll just have to wait for CM10. :)
[Galaxy S II General] droid_1989:
What bothers me about CM10 is the fact CM9 isn't even a stable rom on SGSII according to CM website. :confused:

this is why all of us can't wait to try JB!
[Galaxy S II General] TheCreat:
Do you seriously think that any of that is new information on page 77 of a thread dedicated to jelly bean?

What I actually wanted to say: I'm also in favour of the "don't release alphas"-concept from the last couple of pages. At the very least, please always make it clear in very big, red letters at the top of the thread for such a ROM, that it's not meant for anything but testing and/or experimenting. The amount of people, who just read "jelly bean" and start flashing is really staggering. Especially with a device as popular as this...

Swyped on my Galaxy S2
[Galaxy S II General] np231:
I didn't mean to say JB will take 7 months but rather few months. I'm sure we'll get some early experimental builds very soon

but one thing I discovered with CM9 was.. the excitement of running ICS on your device washes out after few weeks and all you are left with is a brand new OS that doesn't really function properly b/c of all the known issues..

At first, I didn't care if the early builds of CM9 were experimental and half the things didn't work but after flashing numerous builds it gets very boring and you just want the damn thing to work properly... (I know CM team doesn't release the builds unless the main features are working but I'm talking about getting the small things to work, like autobrightness, notification sound, compass, tvout, etc)

so don't get your hopes up as bringing JB to SGS2 is a very difficult task.. if you dont' trust me.. you can refer to codeworkx's comment below ..
[Galaxy S II General] jackierobinson:
Yeah that's so true. You're much better off forgetting about it completely until a stable build is out. Sometimes I get bored of the whole romming scene and just stick with a rom and don't come back to XDA for a month. Then when I do there's all this new stuff out for me to try.

That being said, I want JB for PB. The one thing that's bothered me with android is that tiny bit of lag/delay that the iphone doesn't have.

CM10 is already booting on heaps of devices so we shouldn't be waiting too long.
[Galaxy S II General] Logi_Ca1:
I agree with you. I remember the excitement of trying out ICS's spanky new interface, only to have this excitement tempered by everything force closing, the camera not working... Needless to say, I reluctantly went back to Gingerbread.

To be honest I'm surprised that despite JB being supposedly a minor update it's giving the devs so much trouble. I guess Google changed a lot more than the 0.1 version increment suggested.
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
Guys, if you have news etc or want to post your IRC channel up in the OP please feel free to send me a private message and i would gladly put it up in the OP. Cheers!
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
These things now work on CM9, should also work on JB as open source HAL is being used
[Galaxy S II General] ttg:
Sound is far of being "Open Source HAL" :(

The good thing is CM9 was a truly learning experience to all the devs as they seem to fix a lot of issues and get a better understanding of the devices. so now they know where they'll have the biggest issues and some workarounds.

Still while Froyo & Gingerbread where minor revisions with changes, ICS-->JB has under the hood many improvements especially related to graphics and audio... :(

I'm not sure if RAM use is that important after all. Android's motto is "unused RAM is wasted RAM". As long as the OS is capable of managing it you would better use up all your RAM...

[Galaxy S II General] Mr Anderson:
It's very kind of you to direct all users to this fix, but it may not work for everyone and it is perhaps not fair to assume that they have missed something in the process.

I'm glad it worked for you, but I think there is more to it than simply the DCIM folder. This Google Android issue thread, for example, talks about issues with corrupt files, but more plausibly about a problem with the way the media process is handling files with certain characters in their filenames.

A gentleman by the name of Rowan Smith has reported what looks like a detailed, structured and scientific approach to researching the issue, so his conclusions look very plausible.

It is possible that you don't have any/many such files and hence your DCIM fix works for you. However, others who do may be hitting problems that are not related to the DCIM folder at all.

I'm not a developer or a programmer so I honestly don't know. But until someone establishes for certain exactly what is going on I think we just have to accept that everyone's file contents and structures are different, and what might work for some may not help others (myself included unfortunately).
[Galaxy S II General] NunoPitbull:
That fix worked for me aswell. You tried to clear all media related data? For example: Settings-> Manage apllications -> Navigate to the right untill u have "all" then like "transfers", "com.providers", Media" etc, click on "Clean data". Then make sure your internal DCMI folder on internal memory is empty and that camera is set to SD ext card.. It worked flawless to me, since when I flashed this Sain version on my new SGSII the problem was the same, i had cached files in internal DCMI, i cleared everything and done.. media problem gone..

EDIT: And has taht guy said, _,% etc can increase scan time, i had(dont know why) files renamed to "_1212121.jpg" and "_823823.jpg" etc :) I also looked for that and rearranged.

Android tends to use as much RAM as possible, because the power consumption is the same and has the good thing that apps are preloaded into ram when you try to access them.

Could be, I've got 900+ pics & video storaged in this device.

With this turn around it only takes 19 sec to that service to scan my device upon boot.

I'm not a dev nor programmer (far from both), I said is a work around not a fix, justed took a couple of comments and applied common sense.

As you may notice, in the SS I've posted, 48 sec to scan a single pic in the internal DCIM folder is just too much.

[Galaxy S II General] Mr Anderson:
Aah, this may go some way to explaining our differing perspectives. I have a 64GB card carrying around 5,000 music files, 3,000 pictures and a couple of hundred video clips.

Renaming files to avoid % or _ is not feasible because I have applications that store their files using these characters.

Anyway, I think I have stumbled upon a solution that stops the Android Media Process from cooking the CPU. My experience is that "Rescan Media Root" is ineffective in 4.1.2 so the Android Media Process still runs on startup.

However, I installed Autorun Manager (the free one will do) and took the following steps:

Advanced Mode

Settings -> tick "Show system entries" and "Enable system app disable"

Change list from "All" to "System apps"

Locate "Media Storage" in list

Untick all the receivers (com.android.providers.media.UsbReceiver, com.android.providers.media.MediaScannerReceiver and com.android.providers.media.MediaUpgradeReceiver)

This stops the scanner in its tracks. The process still launches on startup so I have access to all my files in the gallery, music and video players, but no more hammering the CPU and battery with excessive scanning.

It also prevents the process from re-scanning every time a file is added, edited or deleted from the internal or external storage.

I expect it means the media system won't refresh if I add files or take pictures or whatever, but I'll live with that. I can always re-enable the receivers if I need a re-scan.

This workaround, plus freezing Facebook which seems to be a battery hog as well, has enabled me to reduce the drain over a 10 hour period from 50% to around 35% which is closer to the performance I got with ICS 4.0.4.

If previously posted solutions have proved ineffective for others too then perhaps this might work for them also. Good luck to those who try. :fingers-crossed:

Re: ***[OFFICIAL] JellyBean 4.1 Discussion thread [XWLS8]***

That's right, every workaround is welcomed so media scanner issue won't prevail.

About the amount of files, I think is irrelevant. You've seen my SS, here's scanner media when I flashed LS8 (attached). I've never, NEVER,seen that "media" bar over there, so I went at it, started reading, tried moving things around and at first reboot after the folder swap's work around it scanned the same amount of pic & vids in 23 seconds (against the 17 mins before folder swap, didn't take a BBS SS cause I had to figure something out so I won't spoon feed here).

I've read the link you posted and it kinda says the same thing, I've got to this idea by adding that maps problem on Note and a guy here with the gallery. I really think that the issue is the media scanner's obsession with media folder, DCIM in particular. Keeps checking and checking and checking.

And there's when I said "wait a second...." + "what if we create another folder it can also be obsessed about, keeping one of them clean from media".

And that's that, only 19-30 secs of nedia scanner at boot, gallery keeps refreshing every time I take a pic/vid (media scanner remains still, there must be another process refreshing).

Moreover, after installing Siyah later on (put the tar file in PDA in Odin this time), the phone won't boot for some weird reason. All I see is Samsung with yellow triangle and then the Siyah logo blink twice and the phone just turns off. Gonna try to restore now...
