Various fixes, like a blank .nomedia file in the first directory that may or may not work depending on the kernel level.

I had to install an app killer (rooted) on my S4 to get it to stop at one point. Backcountry Navigator (million tiles) scan was killing it.

Frustrating.

We're all Android and prefer it, but my other gripe is battery management. My TabPro 8.4 (not rooted) is just plain stupid and will drain quickly when sitting unused/sleep. I guess Google is keeping it up all night spying on me. We have a single apple device here, an iPad mini I won, that can sit for weeks and still has a charge.

No SD card installed, but I haven't rooted the phone either to kill all the "native" apps and bullshit that run at startup. I suppose I should do that some time.
