I am trying to permanently disable the notorious power hogging mediascanserver or mediaserver (whatever it's better known) service on a rooted Jiayu S3. Here are my ADB commands: su pm disable com.android.providers.media/com.android.providers.media.MediaScannerReceiver top > /mnt/sdcard2/toplist.txt #Polling the output of top Now getting the file here on my PC: adb pull /mnt/sdcard2/toplist.txt c:\adbf\toplist.txt MediaServer process on line 242 in below o/p. So, my questions are: 1. Why pm disable did not work for Mediaserver? 2. Is there any other Android service in the below o/p which is running as a hack or resource hog and deserves to be disabled? 3. For a specific process I see below, how do I go about finding out the **corresponding service** name, so that the same can be disabled. E.g. the line # 241 drmserver. What is that process? How do you get the service name for it? ---- User 2%, System 1%, IOW 47%, IRQ 0% User 13 + Nice 0 + Sys 11 + Idle 304 + IOW 299 + IRQ 0 + SIRQ 0 = 627 PID PR CPU% S #THR VSS RSS PCY UID Name 9627 1 2%
