Hey All,

I'm having the ominous MediaServer battery drain, however mine began appearing the moment I installed this ROM. I wiped everything and installed the ROM just like you're supposed to, and that same night, I began having MediaServer issues. I hadn't installed anything I didn't have on my previous ROM (where I didn't have these issues) and so I'm thinking it's something to do with the ROM itself. A few days later, I updated my venom rom to 6.2.1 but the problems persisted. I don't want to update to 9 because I don't want to wipe my phone again. I have a picture of the directories mediaserver is scanning that I found out using the adb shell but I can't post it since I don't have 10 posts yet. What are my options for removing potentially corrupt directories that are part of the OS?

I downloaded Root Explorer and tried to find dev/null - however I didn't find a folder or file named "null" in the dev folder, however I am a beginner so I don't really understand what it meant for mediaserver to be scanning /dev/null.

If I can have some help from you experienced guys, it would be awesome - I've looked around but I've only seen people reccommend others delete corrupt files, and mine seems to be a system problem. All other fixes I've seen like mediaserver killer and Rescan Media Root don't work for me.

Thanks!
