yeah man .. i think its very annoying .. keeping you waiting, plus i have a larg storge and too much mp3 files and videos .. so it takes time .. i hope there is way to stop it.
+1 count me in boys
Yep, please, please, how to disable it?
If you do have a lot of files on SD, it takes ages and slow down phone as hell.
Hey guys,
1st post. Keep it easy on me ya?
Below are the requirements needed before you can disable Media Scanning for good.
1) Rooted Galaxy S
2) Startup Manager (free in Marketplace)
Steps:
1) Startup Startup Manager
2) Goto System tab
3) Uncheck Media Storage
4) Reboot
5) And it will never bother you again
This method works too when you plug and unplug the USB cable + the annoying scan on bootup.
For the bad news
Default Music Player will NOT be able to recognise additional new files (MP3 etc) after adding it.
Workaround for this is to reboot the phone and it will recognise it again. I presume software that depend on the Media Storage for creating paylists are prone to this issue.
For the good news
Get another music player in the Marketplace which allows you to manually scan create playlists should be fine.
if we disable Media Storage, can we do manual scanning then? i can do without the music player, but i think gallery also needs media scanning to work?
Some widgets like Extended Control has button to force scanning, wonder if it will work.
If you want a media scanner, search the market for Aditya
I have made a media refresh app.
It's called Rescan Media
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-addz-mediascanner-jtDAw.aspx
I think there is a slight misunderstanding here.
The main purpose of this is to disable the media scanning that occurs every reboot, power on and unmounting of the SD cards.
Instead of auto scanning, what we (I think) is to have the option of manually initialising it. This is due to the long scanning period some people have (thousands of songs etc)
I had tried your app and it works as it should with the exception that Media Storage service need to be autostarted for your app to work.
Not sure for the rest, but what I do want is to stop the annoying scanning part upon reboot/power on/umounting of SDs and to instead use your app for example to scan as and when I do want.
Btw, nice icon for the app

The icon is what I too really loved. It looks brilliant on dark wallpapers which in turn look brilliant on the SGS.
Ok now back to the topic.
If Media Storage is not started, what error do you get?
FC?
I'd like to fix it. Could you post a crash dump if you get a fc?
Or have a look at logcat for anything?
Thanks

You got it right! Im using a pitch black wallpaper!
Anyway, back to topic.
When Media Storage is disabled from startup.
1) Launch Rescan Media
2) Screen will flick for a split second
3) Media scanning message does not appear
4) Repeatedly attempts yield the same thing
When Media Storage is enabled
1) Launch Rescan Media
2) Screen will flick for a split second
3) Media scanning message occurs
4) Repeated attempts still successful
This phenomenon still occurs even when tested with other media scan app (ScanMedia by HumanRobot) so rest assured its not bad coding on your end.
There is no crash or FC. Just nothing happened that is all.

suggestion:-
check for Media Storage status when user runs your app
1) if not running (means user has disabled startup intentionally), then start Media Storage, do the scan, then kill it when user exit your app.
2) if already running (ie default phone setting), then no change is required.
YES I HAVE DONE IT.
I CAME, I SAW, I HIT HIM RIGHT THERE IN THE JAW!!!! *WOOT WOOT*
Uninstall the older Rescan Media
Search for Aditya in the market.
Then Rescan Media ROOT.
I require ROOT privileges to restart services and processes.
Open the app and allow root privileges(I promise there is nothing bad going on).***Read more on what goes on behind the scenes.
To kill the service after you are done click on kill service.
To restart the service click restart service.
To quit click exit.
***Read what goes on behind the scenes
I execute
Code:
"pm enable com.android.providers.media/com.android.providers.media.MediaScannerReceiver"
and
"pm disable com.android.providers.media/com.android.providers.media.MediaScannerReceiver"
If you are afraid, drop to a shell and type
Code:
su
pm disable com.android.providers.media/com.android.providers.media.MediaScannerReceiver
pm enable com.android.providers.media/com.android.providers.media.MediaScannerReceiver
It has the same effect of starting and stopping the service.

Hi Dude!
Thanks for the continued support!
I just downloaded it from the market and tested.
Pity though that I couldn't get it to work. Got stuck at the "Hardcore background Kung-fu"
Funny!
OK, here's the thing. My rom (JM5 + Lagfix) is not a default rom so your fix might not have work since some of my files were shuffled around to the ext2.
Perhaps I will try your fix again when I flashed to a newer default rom next time with a newer lagfix.
Hope to hear some success stories from the rest here.
One more thing: Your app is the 1st I see in the Market that required 0 permission (beside the newly added Superuser permission).
That is AWESOME!
Keep it up and thanks again for the good work!

Good Work, I say!
It works now.
In case you interested, this is the output after I keyed in your command.
Component {com.android.providers.media/com.android.providers.media.MediaScannerReceiver} new state: enabled
Did a test drive by rebooting and switching off Media Storage. Works like a charm now.
Perhaps you can advise what was wrong earlier? Was my MediaScannerReceiver state=off?

Awesomesauce!!!
Glad it worked.
Maybe it needed to be on just once I really dunno lol.
Now we just need to wait for this thread to be propagated around.
Saw a couple of posts in Android Forums and Modaco asking for a fix like this.
I say, this is a different kind of Lagfix altogether
LOL~!
Is it possible this fix can be incorporated in the next Rescan Media Root?
And you are right. The command only need to be entered once and not every reboot
I think I'm going to go share this with your captivate brethren. This works great!
Several new apps showed up in the Samsung Zone last night:
Video Call
Basically what it sounds like, a 3G-based video calling app. Unfortunately, it apparently requires a FFC, so all it does on the Focus is display an error message and quit.
RSS Times
A pretty nice Google Reader app
AllShare
Samsung's DLNA media sharing app. But again, on the Focus all it does is display a "not supported" error and quit.
FunShot
An interesting-looking (haven't played with it yet) photo editor with some "funky" effects.
MiniDiary
A diary app with text, voice, drawing and photo support.
I'd have thought OEMs would be allowed to only target certain devices for their apps, so either they can't and theyre for the omnia w (etc) or we might be inline for some driver updates...
I use Minidiary which is a good app... we cannot use vedio call app but i think its prety amazing specially cos we can make vedio calls to iphone and android phones even if they dont have this app...
i want to upgrade to omnia W phone, but i will loose all my texts and have to unlock all levels again from begining in my xbox games.. which is the only thing preventing me from switching phones..
There is also an Advanced Text Message app if you tap on "more from Samsung.." but it doesn't work either.
They should let the video call app work on phones with no ffc. At least we can see the other person or we might use a mirror.
Working dlna would have been very good.

I can't see that one on my Focus, but I do see the new high fidelity positioning app, which is the first new app from Samsung that installs into the settings screen. It has two settings, one that increases GPS accuracy by using other sensors such as accelerometer and compass, and one that enables use of GLONASS (for users in Russia).

if you can sideload the xap this worked for me.
get XAPDeployX.exe
load Zune and have phone plugged into USB
start XAPDeployX.exe
load the app you want to remove from settings page
check options "force uninstall if application is already installed"
click deploy. at some point XAPDeployX will tell you that it found and successfully uninstalled the existing application.
right then you unplug the phone, just in time before it installs the new one.
voila, the app is gone from settings.

There is really no need to uninstall it. It takes up very little space, and if neither option is turned on, it does nothing.

Oh, I am. OCD is my life . I just look at it as Samsung providing an app to install a Mango setting that didn't make it through development in time for the official Mango update. In other words, if the setting had been part of the Mango firmware update, there would be no way to "uninstall" it without uninstalling Mango, right?
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the setting is automatically included in future Samsung firmware updates.

Hi,
I'm trying to lock Contacts and Phone app to memory.
So they will start faster. I don't want to wait for them to open. ( Sometimes it tooks a long time )
If is there anyother way to do it but locking it ( like keeping it alive, running in backgorund or something ) i can try.
This is really important for me. I need to make calls fast.
Thank you so much for reading.
Best Regards.
========================================================================================
This is no longer requested.
I did it using SuperCharger Update 9 RC 6.9 ( Option 17 in Driver's Console )
I bulletproofed Phone,Contacts and Messaging apks ( Sony's Original ones ) with this script.
Here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18703418&postcount=5021
Its BETA release probably.
Thank you for reading.
I researched some more and found this,
adb pull /init.rc
replace "setprop ro.HOME_APP_MEM ..." with:
setprop ro.HOME_APP_MEM 1536
adb push init.rc /sdcard/init.rc
adb shell
# mount -o remount,ro rootfs /
# cat /sdcard/init.rc | tee /init.rc
# mount -o remount,rw rootfs /
# rm /sdcard/init.rc
This code can lock Sense home to memory. Maybe someone with skill can change it for Contacts.apk ?
Use exDialer. It can be locked to memory, has smart search and looks like MIUI dialer.
It's a good solution.
But before i try those third-party contacts/phone apps i want to lock Sony's Original app to memory.
And i don't want to lock it with another app. I want to make lowmemorykiller see contacts app like system app and never touch it.
So, probably i need to use script or something. But it also should be permanent change, at least i don't want to do it after every reboot.
Thank you so much for answering
The same.

Exdialer will still SEMC phone to make calls. It's just an interface in between.
So locking THAT in memory won't help. Locking SEMCPhone is what you want for faster launches of the phone app.
The default dialer generally takes much time to start up. So suggested a 3rd party app for faster number dialing!
Sent from my LT15i using XDA
Exactly,
Exdialer is Contacts-like app. I need both of Contacts and SEMCPhone in memory.
If i won't find anything probably i will use ExDialer for Contacts app at least it will quicker to find Contacts.
But i also really need to lock SEMCPhone app to memory. That's the most important part. Because i can't use any third party app for this function. It have to be Sony's original ( im not sure btw )
Thank you so much for answering.
Found Solution !

1 - Root it
2 - Install Script Manager
3 - Run the script as root (DONT SELECT TO RUN ON STARTUP)
4 - bulletproof an app or something like this (option 17 in my version)

The logs show that the script is run on restart, but it says
com.sonyericsson.android.socialphonebook
com.sonyericsson.infiniteview
com.android.phone
isn't running, can't bulletproof.
It looks like its run a bit too early?
I tried running it with the widget, it found phone and socialphonebook running, but never infiniteview.
Even on exiting a contacts details by pressing home and starting the script immideatly, it always said infiniteview isn't running, it seems to instantly close itself.
After it told be it bulletproofed phone and socialphonebook, I went to start a few apps/games, closed them again and tried starting contacts and open a contacts details:
contacts opening time varied between 3 and 12 seconds
contact info opening time varied between 2 and 8 seconds
I am certainly not getting the effect I hoped bulletproofing would give me, I hoped the startup times would be like you just closed contacts and reopened them:
contacts opening time varied between 1 and 1.5 seconds
contact info opening time varied between 1 and 1.5 seconds
Don't expect your phone to keep Phone and contacts in memory when trying to play games. Our phones do not have enough RAM to keep all of these loaded in there at once. Android has to close something in order to free up RAM and run the current app/game.

A bit of advice for people who are having this problem - I've "been there, cut that", and have to say that the whole "bulletproof" script nonsense is nothing more than a waste of time; it just doesn't work. I've tried every "ram manager" out there, and the only thing that has got me the result is the "Xposed Framework trick" (ICS/Jellybean only unfortunately).

Thanks for the input, but I actually finally got a working solution (as I told the member above) and that is the Xposed Framework App Settings method. I've tried probably half a dozen applications over the course of the years of my ownership of this device, and so far, Xposed App Settings has been the only thing that has had any effect. The only negative is that it does require ICS or Jellybean to install.
Spread the word, and good luck to everyone experiencing this issue.

Thank you so much for this hint, finally something that works :cyclops:
I changed
Contacts (com.sonyericsson.android.socialphonebook)
Infiniteview (com.sonyericsson.infiniteview)
Keypad (com.android.phone)
to resident and they actually stay in memory, even after starting games (not sure if keypad is needed, it isn't listed under running apps).
Infiniteview startup went from 3-7seconds to 0.5-1.5
Contacts behave strange:
If I exit contacts by pressing home key, they start in under 1 second (Android Core Apps are listed under its subprocesses)
if I exit contacts by back key, they need 3 seconds to start (just SmartSearchCachingService and Contacts itself under processes)
I seem to not be able to lock down android.process.acore with the xposed framework
While I study for the GRE, I do a lot of switching between OneNote and some other app ( eg dictionary ). Considering the slowness of loading recent apps, it gets a bit annoying considering the number of times I need to switch between the two. Hoping for a way to switch between the two most recent apps without actually going into recent apps.
Can either app work in multi view?

You could try MW enabler (Search for it in the play store) It doesn't require root, and it would allow you to take one (or both) of the apps and shrink them down into a bubble, that you could easily open and close and hide. In your situation it might be an option.
There are some limitations due to it not needing root... the 2 biggest are that it has to uninstall and reinstall the app... you will lose whatever you have unless you have it backed up somewhere (wouldn't think its a big deal for a dictionary) and you need to turn OFF auto updating for those apps, because if they update from the play store you will lose the multi window/bubble feature until you re-activate it.
Yeah not sure if I like that option thanks for the info. If it irritates me enough the next few days I will likely reconsider

Didn't know this was possible without root. Awesome! And it removes it from the list of installed apps for you so no fear of auto updates.

Give switchr a try. l set it up in "Flow" mode and use a right side edge trigger. Seems to work well for switching between applications.
Umm just drag your finger down and in from the top right corner of the screen while in app. Then you can minimize it to a bubble or have multiple apps open at once on the screen.
right you can windowize the app... then all apps that are windowed can be iconized by pressing the home key.

Last week I updated my OP9 Pro to the latest version c61. Everything works fine, but the Photos App is basically useless.
What I mean by this is when I go into the Photos App everything is "blank". When I go into file explorer and go into the DCIM of pictures folders I have I can view the thumbnail and even open up any image and view it, but if I try directly from the Photo's app it's just showing like a blank transparent black box.
I have a 2 part question.
1. Has anyone experienced this before, and if so, how did you fix it? I really don't want to wipe my entire phone because everything else works fine.
By the way I tried clearing cache storage for the app under app info and tried disabling, rebooting my phone and reenabling and no luck.
2. What is a good Photo's/Gallery replacement app to the stock one?
A few features that I would like if possible:
No ads
minimal/simple functionality (I don't really care about extensive photo editing. Really just cropping and flipping photos if necessary)
If you can hide certain gals that a plus, but not necessary
A lot of the replacement gallery/photo apps I have seen have a lot of ads and I don't want to deal with that.
Thanks in advance!
Hi, whilst I've never experienced the issue you have in question 1, have you tried to add an album? When you take a photo on your phone camera does that appear? ( Both in the camera and your gallery) as for an alternative I personally use Google photos as it just works.
Thanks for your response and sorry for the delayed response. It's a really odd glitch.
If I take a picture and open it at that moment it will display fine. Also if I go into a file manager and open it I can view it fine. But if I go into my photos app it's blank. I ended up downloading a couple other photo apps and they open up all my media fine without any issues. It's a really bazaar glitch but seems to only be with the oneplus photo app with the newest c61 update.
I'm not sure if I can remove the stock photo app from my phone because I believe it's a system app and the only option I have is to disable it, but I was thinking of trying to remove it from my phone and reinstalling it from scratch.

Last week I updated my OP9 Pro to the latest version c61. Everything works fine, but the Photos App is basically useless.
What I mean by this is when I go into the Photos App everything is "blank". When I go into file explorer and go into the DCIM of pictures folders I have I can view the thumbnail and even open up any image and view it, but if I try directly from the Photo's app it's just showing like a blank transparent black box.
I have a 2 part question.
1. Has anyone experienced this before, and if so, how did you fix it? I really don't want to wipe my entire phone because everything else works fine.
By the way I tried clearing cache storage for the app under app info and tried disabling, rebooting my phone and reenabling and no luck.
2. What is a good Photo's/Gallery replacement app to the stock one?
A few features that I would like if possible:
No ads
minimal/simple functionality (I don't really care about extensive photo editing. Really just cropping and flipping photos if necessary)
If you can hide certain gals that a plus, but not necessary

did you already clear cache and storage of the app?
maybe you denied a required access right by accident?

Yes I did that and also checked to make sure all proper permissions were granted.

strange.
I mostly use the google photos app. not sure if this is an option for you, but it should check all the marks from the initial post.
Thanks, I should look at it. I'm not sure if google photos backsup your stuff by default, or you can just turn off that feature. I feel like with that feature enabled I would quickly run out of the limited space google gives you as it is so you would be forced to upgrade to get more space.

I think it is turned off by default or at least asks you.
but you can definetly turn the backup off manually.
it gives you 15gb incl. shared between google drive, gmail and photos I think.
for me this is still enough, but I also backup at my home cloud.
