.nomedia

Sprinkle .nomedia files everywhere on anythning you copy to over to android. Android on bootup scans every media file on sd cards and internal storage and creates a thumbnail of it and indexes the location. So if you have 5 trillion images it will crash and never boot. This happened to me on my RG 552 trying to boot into android 11. I had a 1.6 cache in Media Storage or whatever. This makes everything slower to bootup. Crashes the OS. Etc. So any place you have art. Put .nomedia. Maybe after this opening gallery won't kill the system either.

Gallery

If you open gallery and see tons of game art, you are doing it wrong and slowing down your bootup. Clear your cache and add .nomedia.
