                          Running a rooted Galaxy S2 with DarkyROM2 2.3.5 & SuperCore kernel. I have a 32 GB microSD card in addition to the 16 GB internal storage, and it takes ages to scan both when the phone boots. At times when I connect USB mass storage mode and later turn off, it goes into an infinite reboot loop. Have tried [this](https://market.android.com/details?id=com.addz.mediascannerroot) , but it doesn't appear to work. Any other workarounds?
