Disable Media Scanner, Screenshots and Default Notification Sounds

I've been having problems with battery life on my i9100 over the last few weeks/months when I transitioned from CM9 to CM10.1. I chalked it up to the beta-nature of running nightly builds but it's a bit more than that. I did some reading around (this thread is a pretty good spot to start). One of the changes I implemented was to disable the media scanner (see here). This saves power as well as shaves off boot-up time but it has some additional issues/caveats.
