Thanks. I got Autostarts so maybe it can do the same. I ran a search using SD Maid for .nomedia files and could only find one that I deleted, deleted some other folders yesterday for apps that have been uninstalled - maybe I will try flashing again and seeing if the problem goes away now.

Hey for everyone that is having media scanner wakelocks. I flashed this rom earlier this morning with the latest version of Sk8's recovery I believe and am coming from using Mohan's 5.1 release. Besides formating system and cache, then doing a factory reset and wiping davlik I have done nothing else. No app freezes or tweaks and it looks like my phone is operating the way it should.

Flashed this ROM yesterday using a Herc. Got to say I'm loving it not a single problem with this puppy, great job!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] haloeight:
Thanks. Thinking maybe I should give it another go - went back to R2 and wakelocks look perfect so at least there is that comparison.

Made a quick clean. Lets keep our personal opinions to our self and concentrate on development.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.J. Bender:
89% with light/moderate use, even mix of data and wifi. Two bugs: icons disappear from the default TW lock screen (workaround with Widget Locker), and apps on the SD card seem to "disappear" from folders. XDA kept vanishing from its folder, but once I moved it to the internal storage, it stuck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mindmajick:
All good. I don't mind pms.. I was just getting overwhelmed.

As for the other stuff going on here: I missed it all :(

I CAN say this rom has had about 365 Downloads and this is a really short thread...

Are you thinking that Sk8ers recovery is the(a) key to the media wakelock issue.

May have to try it....but I love twrp :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] haloeight:
I'm going to try flashing sk8r's and the ROM again, will let you know how it goes. Reading over R3in's thread, it seems some people were having an issue with the phone showing up as a media device when connected to their PCs, I know mine was doing this before so maybe it was a bad flash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] PsyCl0ne:
Honestly I cant confirm that it would be, but I have never had issues with Sk8's recovery. There was the small issue about not being able to backup to external but that has been fixed a long time ago. Just remember to format /system as well. I think it might just be left over BS that could be causing these problems. Or maybe take your SD card out and try doing a checkdisk on it, could have corrupt data from when the usb was disconnected while the card was mounted in your pc...

My phone is currently doing this. I thought it might have been a feature on this rom lol... Everything else seems to be working correctly though. Is this not the way it is supposed to work?

~PsyCl0ne
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] stoopendis:
I'll wait for haloeight's report on sk8s cwm. I had a look...looks like there's a little steeper learning curve for that recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] haloeight:
I'm not sure since R3ins in his thread seemed baffled by the phone showing up as a media device. Some posters said it might have to do with Autoplay.

---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:11 PM ----------

Booting up Orthus now. Installing Sk8rs recovery is simple as downloading the zip and flashing in whatever recovery you got. Seems like it adds some nice features, did all the wipes twice in case something was missed that way. I did get a message saying unknown volume for path /sd_ext/ - not sure if that might be related or an issue, have seen it before when flashing but never paid any mind to it.

One other thing to note for diagnosis - first time I installed I let all the apps download from google play before doing the first reboot as laid out in the OP instructions. This time rebooted before letting the apps finish downloading.

Also I read in another thread that for some reason being plugged in (maybe specifically on USB to a PC) while flashing the ROM files might screw something with media scanner causing it to go hyperactive. Not sure if you were connected when you flashed.

Pointing out everything that might be a cause.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mindmajick:
Lol. I thought it was a feature too!

I love being able to copy files without my cards being unmounted

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] PsyCl0ne:
Its actually quite simple to flash, its done right in recovery just like flashing a rom.

Hmm I was connected to USB the entire flash, and for that /sd-ext/ was this while you were doing a backup? If that's the case I believe it is looking for an app2sd partition to backup which we don't use because we really don't need it...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] stoopendis:
No I meant ..looks like sk8 cwm is a little more involved to use for flashing roms. I didn't even understand his explanation of the "extras" :eek:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] haloeight:
Yeah, don't sweat that. Click the video in his post to see what the UI is like - more or less the same as clockworkmod.

Just finishing reconfiguring here. Only things to note is a random reboot / lockup and Xperia Home crashing. Checking Media Scanner and it is back in the battery eaters list but haven't finished screwing around yet. UI does is laggier than supercharged R2, so there may be something going on in the background.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] stoopendis:
Thanks man. I'll stay with twrp in that case. I can confirm that disabling media storage with Startup Manager ( system) folder. Kicks media out of the eaters list. Don't know what will happen loading music or other "media" now :confused:

PS.. Yes I've had Xperia report it has stopped too........And I'm not even using it?!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Paulk1989:

@Mindmajick.

What recovery are you using.?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] haloeight:
During the actual flash of the ROM. If it unrelated as you say then no worries but just calling out anything that might be a root cause.

Finished up now. Media Scanner still seems to be going crazy. Had frozen a bunch of things but it is scanning away 94% of the time. Got another random lock up too.

Going to try the suggestions here:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mindmajick:
I alternate randomly between TWRP and sk8tr's

I mainly use TWRP when building roms. Only because I can delete stuff that I put in the init.d directory

But, I use sk8tr recovery to pull the boot.img

Like I said.. I use both randomly lol. Whichever one I happen to be on after the latest change, USUALLY TWRP.

When I finish modding a rom I always do a full wipe (including data).

This time I installed from TWRP. But on my other roms I used both randomly.

I do suggest a FULL WIPE and reinstalling apps manually. If I ever get FC'S I just fix permissions using recovery. I haven't had to yet w aokp ( this rom)

I really hope that you guys are able to find the media scanner issue. I would love to pass this back to r4ins. He's a great guy and knows a lot more about this stuff than I do. He taught me how to deodex stock roms and It would be great if we could return the favor in some way.

I chat with many of the devs in our forum and hope to continue to learn from them. I digress.... Sorry lol :D

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] haloeight:
Wiped data on downloads, download manager, gallery, drm, media storage, anything that was listed as related, wiped cache and dalvik. Did this twice - once with apps frozen and then with everything unfrozen, in case a frozen app was being called upon. Problem is still there - Media Scanner running 92% of the time.

From the posts it seems like you need to give it some time as things will have to be rebuilt so the activity may not go away immediately. So going to let it sit for an hour and see if it improves. On first install, the ROM was running for at least 4-5 hours so it should have abated then.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.J. Bender:
I believe Majick uses TWRP. I'm on TWRP myself and haven't had any of the wakelock problems described. As soon as my calibration run's wrapped up, I'll plug into a computer and do some music file transfers to see if I can lock it that way.

Here's the list of stuff I froze:

Android Live Wallpapers

AOKP Wallpapers 2.0 (after selecting the one I wanted)

Bluetooth Share

Calculator 4.1.1

Clock 2.0.3 (ALARMS)

Exchange Services 5.0 (You may not be able to freeze this one if other apps depend on it...)

Face Unlock

Gallery

Gmail

Live Wallpaper Picker

News & Weather (this one is a HUGE drain more often than not)

Nfc Service (don't need it)

Tags 1.1

Talk 4.1 (HUGE drain)

TalkBack 3.1.1

Unicorn Porn

xperia s 2.0

Xperia Home

Xperia Home Preference

Xperia keyboard

Note on the Xperia stuff: I use TW as my main and Apex Launcher as my backup on Orthus. If you only have TW and Xperia installed, do not freeze Xperia unless/until you have a third launcher installed, as you're likely to need a backup launcher due to FCs at some point. Same goes for freezing TW. Do not run your phone with less than two launchers available to you.

I'm sure there's more stuff that I can freeze, but with JB being in the state it's in, I figured I'd play it safe right out of the gate and experiment more later. Honestly, Majick, I'm not sure that drain on Orthus is much worse than drain on MW at all. When I leave my phone idle, it seems to be going through about 2% an hour. Wizz would go throuh 3% every 2 hours, so 1.5% per hour. Phone calls suck up a lot of battery though. I lost 4% during a 20m phone call earlier; granted, I was in a shaky connection area, and my phone was trying desperately to hang on to wifi from the truck stop. I'll make some more calls from home later and see if the battery drain repeats itself.

Also, Illnevertell, you'll be happy to know that I'm 7h51m in with 38m of screen-on time and about 25m of phone time, and I expect to hit more up tonight. I'm looking for about 3h of screen time in this calibration run, but I also want to see if it can stay above 60% at the 12 hour mark with regular use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] haloeight:
Thanks TJ. You are much more aggressive with freezing apps which is good to know for reference. I was freezing a subset of that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.J. Bender:
As a general rule, if I know what it does, I know I don't need it, and I know it's safe to freeze, I'll freeze it. There are very few apps that I delete fully, as freezing doesn't seem to contain them. Talk is one of those, but since freezing seems to have it under control for now, I see no reason to risk destabilizing something.

Great thing about freezing is that you can always defrost if you screw something up. Takes a real genius to force a full wipe reinstall by freezing. :laugh:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] garydv2002:
Majic on your battery life post is that normal use, light use, or heavy use. I'm just wondering because right now I'm running pretty much a stock rom. By pretty much I mean I'm rooted with cwm touch installed, 15 toggle mod and rezound audio mod installed and I'm debloated of course and my battery life is about 13 hours with normal use. On average I use about 5% battery per hour give or take a little.

So my question would be before I install this rom would be is there anything I could do or any settings I could change in your rom to get the battery life I'm getting now. I've attached a pic of my battery life now just for clarity

Sent from my two cents which ain't worth much.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.J. Bender:
Stock response: it's JB. Consider it unstable until further notice.

That said, I've been running the ROM for about a day, and haven't had a random reboot yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mindmajick:
I consider my usage very heavy.

If you post your screen on time I can give you a better idea. I base battery life almost completely on screen time.

I know my phone was only on for about seven hours, but having the screen on for three of those hours id pretty good.

I consider TJ a light user.. So maybe he will have more info once he finishes his run.

Well 7 hours is good for heavy use. Actually for heavy use that's dang good. I figure 7 hours with heavy use will equal at least 12 to 13 with normal use and possibly a full 24 with light use. So I would say you are about on track where battery life is concerned..... I'll be glad when I get a little free time so I can flash this rom, dang being this busy sux...

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] al160000:
I really like WidgetLocker (~$2 I think). It allows you to basically make your lockscreen into a homescreen, adding whatever widgets/shortcuts/etc you want, and choosing your custom unlock method as well. I've been using it for over a year now. Only downside is that the more widgets you have, the more memory used up, so on my phone I only have a few, on my tab I have probably 10 on my lockscreen.

Really? HTC phones have always seemed much more solid devices to me. The s3 is plastic thin and cheap feeling. (it doesn't look cheap, just feels like it) the rezound feels like a solid chunk of phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tekhna:
Yeah, it's a chunk of phone. As in, a brick. With a creaky plastic battery door, godawful flush buttons, dismal battery life, and a terrible update track record. Nice screen and camera though. I've owned 4 HTC phones (HTC Touch, Eris, Thunderbolt, Rezound) and they've all had certain advantages, and they've all had such enormous problems that I'm just not interested anymore--HTC is off the trusted list until they get their sh*t together with updates and kernel sources. And Sense just straight-up sucks. I don't love Touchwiz either, but at least it's footprint isn't so heavy.
