I HAD a perfectly running rom a couple weeks back, was flawless, no crashes, no leaks....perfectly usable.
The problem is now in 2 parts.
The first: I cant keep myself from trying new roms, even if it is hardly any different from what i already have!
The second: I dont remember which was the rom that ran perfectly!
Now i'm soooo screwed, the last couple roms i've tried is such a nightmare to use
It leaks memory like crazy, gets real sluggish, completely comes crashing down. It crashes a billion times, the radio loses connectivity and i have to restart to get it to work again.....arghhhhh!
IF ONLY i was content with what was working and let it be.....damnit!
Now, I got to find some of the older roms and test them out again :-/

Hi San,
Imagine, using Universal just as a phone.
But, no.................
It has to be better than:
Desktop PC
Portable PC
GSM
Phone
PDA
Surf the net
Connect to whatever
Remind to be sub-servant to the other (better) half
.........
So, the never ending quest continues ......
Hey mate, remember we are talking about Universal......
Best Regards,

One that makes me feel like I feel when Im with you

One that wont spill
One that dont cost too much
Or come in a pill
I want a new drug
One that wont go away
One that wont keep me up all night
One that wont make me sleep all day
One that wont make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when Im with you
When Im alone with you
Im alone with you baby
I want a new drug
One that does what it should
One that wont make me feel too bad
One that wont make me feel too good
I want a new drug
One with no doubt
One that wont make me talk too much
Or make my face break out
One that wont make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when Im with you
When Im alone with you
I am in love with you

Possible solution.
Right click your rom downloads and go to properties to check the creation date, hopefully this will jog your memory. The gap in dates should hopefully give you a clue.

San, you must be dreaming or you logged in on the wrong forum!
Aren't most of us here love flashing ROM's not because we're looking for the perfect one but because we get high by trying the latest one and posting something like this: "a perfect ROM, extremely fast & stable BUT, ......"
There was never a perfect device or ROM for us, but let me give you a clue.
Which ROM is highly customizable, boots up with 29Mb free RAM even with HTC Home plug-in installed, able to retain 24Mb of free RAM after heavy use, seldom crashes, supports 128Mb RAM, perfectly usable by doing away with progs & tools you don't use anyway? Beat that!
Your guess is good as mine!
Do you mean you're going back to the Best WM5 ROM you ever had? The Darkforces Team ROM!
i have tried many and the one i felt in lovewith was NNcoung ROM. Its fast, stable, no memory leaks, 31+ of ram after reset, flash disk (the best of all since you can install all the apps you want here with no side effects) and vanilla so you can install whatever you want. try it you will see that is the best ROM for universal EVER.

Hi,
Have you used Mtty to format/clean your memory ? (sometimes it helps)
And indeed I should try Nncuong's rom.
Greetings,
Wout
wow wow wow!! So many replies, dont know which one to respond to ;o)))
I'm guessing all the 18538 based roms dont seem to be stable on my device setup. It was one of the earlier builds which worked good for me. The 18538 roms always bombed up on me and i kept reverting back to one of the older roms which was flawless. The problem is, I changed my laptop and i dont have the nk.nbf file which i had with me . So i'm waiting for the coming weekend to start the hunt all over again
Until then, i got to live with this fubar'ed POS :-/ Really gets on to your nerves when it crashes over 30 times a day (not exagerating...all i need to do is, be on a call and try and push a button, and the call's frozen. I cant disconnect the call, the END or disconnect hardware buttons all dont respond)
I guess i'll just jump to beastyleo's rom, only thing that doesnt work is a2dp for me, which is much better than this crash-fest, roach motel rom that i'm currently running on!
Cheers,
San
If you have a G3 device try this: http://www.sym-viet.com/nncuong/UNI_2_11_11_G3.rar
the only rom i saw without memory leak. Havent tried beastyleo's tho.
A2DP is really good, it freezes device but just press play button on your headset to unfreeze happens once per day avg.
I only can say................ we made big progress today
And update is comming soon to your way......................

Universal Is A Useless Device!
Basically, Universal Is A Useless Device!
And, my friends and my relatives think that I have a big head
WHY?
The basic function of the Universal is Phone. As a Phone it is a useless device even with Windows Mobile 5. It is slow, eats up batteries, has crashes and so forth.
It is very bulky, always has to be carried in the hands. With a belt clip it is immense. It is impossible to use while driving. And, even the voice command is useless as it gets the number wrong most of the time.
So, welcome to Windows Mobile 6, which is not supported by HTC for Universal. It is the same story with Windows Mobile 6 and we are constantly re-flashing as it is full of bugs.
My friends and my relatives tell me that I have a big head, as they call me and that I never return their missed calls. I have painfully explained them about Universal.
So, they say buy a new phone. I tell them that I bought by Xda Exec in the first part of this year!
So, buy a new phone if you want to be in touch with your friends and your relatives. What I do!
I go in July of this year and buy Jasjar. Another Universal!
When I bought it, I told my self that I will only use it for Phone!
Now I own two Universals, several standard and large batteries. Two sim cards and several cases. Lots of different mono and stereo bluetooth and so forth!
Now I am constantly flashing both of my Universal. My friends and relatives still complain about the miss calls. So, now I am thinking to buy a small HTC Phone for just only Phone purposes.
But, I am also thinking to upgrade both of my Universal to 128MB.
I guess, I have to prioritize????
Any betting man or woman out there!

Hi San,
It looks like we are both having the same problems with our uni.
You noticed that it could have something to do with ours being one of the earlier production models ?
FYI i'm now running build 18533.0.7.1 by Nncuong with radio 1.17.
And this is now running without any softresets for 48 hours, which is a new record for my *&@#% uni.
But I still love the thing, It's a hate/love relation
Could you let me know which roms run stable on your uni ?
And do you also sometimes find that it looks stable but after 8 or so hours it seems like the thing is "deteriorating" needing softresets increasingly more often ?
greetings,
Wout
(and also important, after 11 hours battery still at 89%, with light usage of phone )

Woww!!! Looks like you're speaking through my brain m8!!!
Especially the pseudo short-lived happiness with the new roms (18538 roms!) until all hell breaks loose!
As i've noticed, the nncuong roms, the darkforce (earlier) roms worked great for me. Right now, i've flashed thingonaspring's 3.2 rom, hoping this baby will hold up....lets see how it goes!
The mo3ulla rom (confirmed) was a nightmare on my device setup. Was the worst of the lot, mainly because of a serious memory leak problem. Harldy any time, and it drops to a skimpy 3meg free ram status with nothing running!
Was way too crappy to be used for anything at all, flashed over thingonaspring's rom (its a 18533 rom), i'm wishing this one would work fine for me....will post in and let you know how it fares...
cheers,
San

I'm returning to forum and need to sort my XDA out, after doing numberous 'builds' on it all which revealed a new set of bugs I gave up and went to a N95 which just worked.
I need to get the XDA going again in a reliable manner, I have a car mount, ext gps, 4300mah battery, copilot live 6 (real copy!) and want to sell it. But I need some decent OS on it and fancy putting 6 on it (UK version).
Can anyone recomend an ext/radio set that will work and not create all sorts of strang problems that have to be hacked or lived with?
Really apprecaite advice, I have been on here an hour but the variety and the 'it works great' followed by 'it's full of bugs' type comments have just confused me on choice!
Greg.
ahh..the ancient question of 'best rom'..
i'm using nncuong's "UNI_2_11_10_G3" based on Core 5.2.1921 (Build 18521.0.7.0).
only reason for me to continue using it is bcuz i find my XDA hang much LESS frequently with it, and that it is of the latest core.
did try the G3+G4 version of his, but it has stability issues (hangs) as far as i've tested, so i'm avoiding that myself.
the versions from other cooker, i'd experience intermittent hangs in every one or two days (if not shorter).
other than that, i guess it's all up to one's personal preference..

Second this, I also get confused a bit by all those different versions. What I want is a version that is stable enough for every day work, has windows live, has office, but does not include any other fancy app's that have no purpose other then just having them ...
Really want someone who can give me a nice and easy comparison of all...
Went back to WM5 now.. had a problem after flashing it so back to original now, did the UNI_unlock thingy and i'm now SuperCID or something
thx in advance
There is no stable version and will never be happen
But.
These are excellent works and for free.
Rom moderators uses their times for public usage.
Actually I've use RealVGA modded Rom
there is a lot of error ( Wifi, Phone , GPRS, battery ... )
Sometimes freezes on boot up.
These are my Rom's error.
other ones has other errors
Unofficial roms has always error
mean while
This wifi, gprs and boot error makes me crazy.

Officials have errors too though, and surprisingly more then unofficial from what i understand.
I suggest though going to nn's rom... to me it looks like the best option now.. But i don't know yet. First i need to get all things straight
nncuong's ROM is the most stable so far...
Most of the stability issues we experience on these devices is caused by third party software , though that said the ROM which seems to be the most stable with most of the software that I use is nncuong's ROM. So try it and see , should be far better than the earlier versions and much, much faster!
Oh and upgrade the radio ROM to either 1.15.00 or 1.17.00 and you really will be amazed by the increase in battery life and reception!
Yes they have errors too but

I've been given a new replacement Wizard, so im back to my old crappy T-mobile ROM (cringes). I have not been on for ages, so i just thought id ask you to recommend me a good new ROM.
Im looking for a largeish pagepool so it will run nice and quick. I have an SD for programs etc . I wouldnt mind some decent software as well, not really bothered about the stupid cube or any of that ****, but HTC Home etc working correctly would be nice. See what you guys think
There are currently many great new roms here, so long as your phone is unlocked and ready to receive the new roms. There are sticky posts at the top that tell you how to tell if, and how to unlock the phones accordingly.
G3 or G4 ??
The latest roms here are working well for the majority of the users - and each offers a little something for everyone, depending on your needs - one may be better than the other.
Slim 6.1 / TNT lastest / KhanX / Octavio 6.3 / Vanilla roms
All great roms, read the posts, see what users are having issues with - and pick the best one for your needs. No easy answer - try them, and use the one that best fits your needs.
Good luck
Looks like they've given me another G3 which is good. I like the the G3 method, allows me to revert back if it ever needs fixing again. Ive been looking at that Slim one, which looks very interesting. TNT is what i had on before, but it sometimes was slow, but that was possibly my fault. If only i could utilize the internal memory and make a bigger pagepool
What would you guys recommend then, based on what im looking for?
Doesnt matter,look at bill_in_mtl his post,just get oneand try,G3 is oke,if you have a G3 device
true it doesnt, but i havnt been here for a while

I think one of the differences between say the TNT and the Slim ROM's is the amount of programs built into them. I have used the Slim ROM and liked it as it has very little included. The TNT has more built in even the offical version has more than I like but that is just me.They all seem to work well. Myself I cooked a very plain 6.0 ROM with theloons kitchen and so far I keep going back to it. Give me a kitchen for the 6.1 ROM and I'm all over it. its right as said that he may release a kitchen for his ROM. That would be great.

Im trying the TNT rom. lets see where i get .
Im going to change the pagepool, whats the maximum recommended? is there any sort of size where the performance wont improve?
Cheers
OK, whacked on TNT. running great, but the Home audio manager (which im very used to using lol) comes up with some error "AudioManager.exe" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate....... etc etc. Is there anyway of signing it, because i know its installed properly!

I think the max page pool is 12Mb but could be wrong. Somep;ace in the system is a place to tell it not to worry about trusted certs. Can't rememebr where it is at but a search will turn up the info.

working on finding that place. Now ive upped the pp to 12mb, it runs like a charm. and i installed this SRS WOW driver and its a beast. just going to install home then im sorted
Someone said it might not be, and thats its files missing. but that actual software itself works. it just happens to not execute from the front of home!
Okay, i think i want to change already. When you press the power button, the audio goes off as well that was one of the best features of the old TNT rom. Looks like its time for a change

Just go back to TNT's latest 6.0 ROM it is real nice.
Slim 6.1
By Merlin Reloaded
Super fast and super stable and not loaded up with ANY bull****. That means you can add all the bull**** your self.
I tried TNT 6.1 Rom and even with a huge pagepool it ran slower. I noticed that 6.1 roms run better with a smaller PagePool.
I tried OCtavio's rom but I think it had some annoyances I couldn't live with.
TNT is best in Batery,
Octavio's rom was very good..
But so far my favorite is Merlins 6.1 It has a medium drain on the battery so I bring My charger if I plan to surf the web at starbucks. other than that it will last over a day with normal use. (like 1hr conversation and about 50 text; google downloading mail; and so on. also WiFi G enabled.
ahh, i migth put the slim one on just to try it. but id rather not have it drain battery. for some reason the sound has gone dead on my phone. ive read somewhere its a glitch (ive got that one i posted in below). how do you get the sound back ?

Sounds good. Ill bang it on tonight. Im using one thats real nice, but its just a bit too clustered, if you get what i mean. Theres applications everywhere and its totally unsorted. seems very badly done, but actually it runs great. I wouldnt mind SRS WOW as well and I know TNT has it, so i shall experiment. Does the audio manager boot from HTC Home etc? And does it allow me to turn the screen of when listening to music ?

If you are happy with a ROM, just sit on it and enjoy its features... No matter how great a ROM is, it has its limitations.
I must have flashed over 100 times, three tilts among a series of HTC phone creations. I guess I am settling down and perhaps I will refrain from flashing for a great while.
I am using Dutty's Hybrid of April 1st. It is by far the most stable and robust ROM I have used. I added few programs to boot and am very satisfied with the way the ROM is behaving.
Just remember it is just a phone... Not a music box, a movie theater, Lost Finder, Can Openner... Primarily it is a phone, and it will never replace your PC or laptop. so just relax and enjoy the summer...
My 3 cents....
Word of a wise man. I may just sit until WM7 and have some good wine.
That is true. I do not flash very often anyways, I just hate having to personalize everything again! I haven't tried that auto thing the new roms have, but I have set it up (I haven't flashed a new rom since I put that text file in my SD card). I assume it will make it less of a pain.

I no longer flash as much as I used to. Started realizing that I was spending more time flashing and reconfiguring than actually using my phone (also why I've chose not to cook on the Kaiser right now). I was on Confused Stu's Mobile Vista v1.1 for over a month (first time I had seen some of my apps start running out of their trials and having to enter in the auth codes I have for them. LOL) before I upgraded to his v1.3 (and to be honest the only reason I flashed to that was I was helping him beta test it and wanted to run it for a week before recommending it to some friends that are wanting to upgrade their Tilts).
I do truely appreciate all those here that do flash and test constantly (AllTheWay immediately comes to mind here... ). But for me, I'm happy to watch the new roms come out, read what works and doesn't for awhile, then move to somethng new when I see something I'd like to have, and avoid minor issues that I know would drive me up the wall after others find them (I use my phone as a tool for work, so while the latest can be cool, if parts of it don't work (or don't work well) then it defeats what the device is supposed to be for me).
I primarily stick to Dutty's too. It's nice when a new version comes out because all the apps are updated or new. That's about the only reason I reflash to a different ROM.
You would not say that if you had the Samsung - here's the link:

I try to refrain from flashing too many times too but sometimes new ROMs are just too juicy to avoid.
Perhaps I may have outgrown the habit a little bit that in the sense I now have preference for what features I look for and furthermore who the chef is.
you are not right
mine is a coffee maker...
a shuriken...
a thing to carry in my pocket...
and lots more
I actually don't mind flashing new ROMS, its more of a hobby. Now that there's UC thanks to Sleuth, theres minor personaliztions to do (eventually i'll take the time to dig deeper into UC for settings, at which point i'll have none).
I like seeing different styles of ROMs, and seeing what types of things people are tossing in. Excited about Schap's!
I too have styoped flashing my kaiser that much I use my prophet for that....
I flashed some roms when I first got my Kaiser but then went back to my personal coocked rom. I've had that on for months but have now changed it to my Throttle rom and it's been on my phone for a week already.
It's a phone and will always be a phone but this android thingy looks intresting ... well mainly because it can be done not that I might get any use of it.
Not me. I'm gonna flash until I find one that will do Everything, including fixing me a drink.
Turkey 101 & Sprite.
That's what I'm sayin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes Sirrrrrrrrrrrrrrr P1!!!
This "Phone" make life easy and when P1, ATW or I find a way for it to make our dinner and clean up our desks then it will be complete! Until then I will be a flashin' fool! Thanks to Dutty, P1Tater, ATW and JimmyMcGee as they have helped me in everyway possible to make Flashin, downloading and all other outlets of this "Phone" very user friendly & I have never created a thread!!!!! So as far as a Reality Check: Not so Much, but I am sooooo looking foward to the summer with my "Phone" i.e. Slingbox, Music Player, video center with my solar charger! Again My patented saying: Yes Sirrrrrrrrr! Drink: Southern Comfort and Cranberry
Enjoy your "Phones" everyone.
p.s. Is it only me? Or do you get surprised when you get a phone call and you remember it is a phone!

That's funny. I would periodically forget that my Kaiser is a phone when it doesn't ring. Just about two months ago when I upgraded to a Kaiser from a Herald, I switched to AT&T from Tmobile .... primarily for the (3G) data plan and selection of phones of course. As of lately, I found myself flashing less and less because (my opinion) I believe that the roms coming out are now are basically bug and minor fixes, perhaps a minor speed increase to previously cooked roms (which is good). I will perhaps flash again once a rom is cooked that can wash my car, pay my bills. .
Regardless, I think this site is awesome because it brings together some of the most (if not all) creative chefs in the business that would put those in M$/HTC to shame. Just my two cents.
i flashed shaps rom the day i got this phone.. i hadnt changed it until his 6.1 beta. really didnt like it so ive flashed all the 6.1 roms i could find. cant wait for his new build either.
Naturally, the last ROM I've flashed is my own
It's been about two months now and after all that WM6.1 testing, I'm not even sure if I really want to make another ROM once WM6.1 is officially shipped and on the HTC website.
As I've said in mfrazzz's thread, making your own ROM really does scratch the itch.

It already does this... Is called "Texting the Wifey".
Just like several opinions posted here, I will probably never stop flashing my Tilt to the latest and greatest ROM. (My co-workers actually maintain a "flash count" on their white boards )
With that being said, I flashed NoThrills ROM when it came out back in March, and kept it until several days ago until Dutty's Apr 09 release. I will most likely refrain from flashing until someone can best Dutty's latest attempt. That person will not be me because I don't have the attention span to cook my own personal ROM.
BTW, congrats on the Mod bump Alex! Now you get to close redundant threads and spew witty comments like Kyphur!

I have tried Timolol's WM6.5 and...I forgot the other...and this one was good for awhile but it's getting insanely buggy.
If you like the ROM you're on, and have been on it for a bit, then point me in the direction. I'd really like to use 6.5 but if I can't find a stable one, then I'll have to revert back to 6.1
Thanks
Energy Roms
DaG's WM6.5 21518 Clean ROM without MSVC is working very well for me.
Learn how to use UC and proper backup tools and then you can flash away and try as many roms as you want!
This is such an open ended question because many people have personal preference.
with that said. I would recommend NRG's EnergyROM, very stable 6.5, been using the june 30th version with a couple minor cosmetic issues, which i do not even remember what they are.
EnergyROM works also great and stable for me.
My experience was different from most those posting here. I found the 6.5's buggy. Third party calendar programs are particularly problematic (reoccuring events not even showing, to name one problem). I wanted to like the EnergyROM's... really I did... but alas, I went back to 6.1. So far, I'm experiencing stability with NATF v4.7 and liking it. I won't go back to the stock ROM.

Hi, have used PROven_ROM_2.4_WWE_Manila_TP (it's WM6.1) - very good,stable and fast.
Then got Energy 3.0 50409a MSVC Raph (wM6.5) and I'm absolutely happy with it. Didn't encountered any problem so far, NRG28 does his ROM's in top level-very professional!
If you want a clean ROM with very little battery usage go with RRE's or Da_G's for absolutely stock. NRG's uses way too much battery, I enjoy charging once every 2-3 days rather than once a day but to each his own..
The most stable and bug free ROM is the latest HTC official ROM. As Da_G said in other thread, there are serious issues in 6.5, so there is no such thing as stable 6.5 ROM - eventually you will face with unnacceptable bugs, like some of XDA members did...
Like what? I don't see many if any bugs that hinder my day to day activities in 6.5, it runs smoother, it's sleeker and unreleased to the public giving it that extra "shimmer", and the built in scrolling effects are just amazing.
What bugs are you speaking of??
WHAT???
pilgrim011- There is a bug free version of WM?
When did that happen?
I too like the energyroms.
I put my crap battery life down to not having found a decent UK T-mob radio yet rather than the rom

I was on the 6 hour flight and decided to play with the phone a bit out of boredom. It was locked up.
No problem soft reset. Continued to lock-up.
No problem, PIM Backup, Hard reset. Then the keyboard would not switch to ABC from 123.
No problem, switch to another SIP. It would hold the change; it kept switching back to the ROM default. No problem, just use the hardware keyboard. A couple of great days in Ireland and it was time to take a quick phone pic to send home. Camera would not work; missed the moment. Fiddled with it a bit, could not get it to work.
No problem, hard reset and try again. Camera works now, keyboard seems to have fixed itself, but phone turns off randomly.
No problem, flash another ROM I have on my storage card. Everything works now except the phone. It has a signal for 5 minutes, then no signal for 5 minutes, over and over.
No problem, switch to manual network selection, could not access the settings.
No problem, hard reset. Works fine now. Ready to take a quick picture at a golf outing where I did not lug my Nikon around. Phone has turned itself off again, missed the moment. Time to surf up some quick directions, IE locks-up.
No Problem, switch to Opera, takes forever to load, my sister already has the directions on her damn iPhone before opera even loads.

OK, don't get me wrong, there are things that I don't like - low in-call volume, TF3D is sometimes behaving weird etc., but there is always a .cab or .reg to solve these issues, and to tell you the truth, there are no serious issues with HTC ROM, phone is stable and solid as a rock. Of course, Energy ROMs are way faster and more pretty than official ROMs, but I prefer my battery life, stability etc. over speed, beauty and bugginess... And I don't want to flash my phone every 5 days.
Fair enough pilgrim011
Btw has anyone found a work around for the word completion on the keyboard that actually works regardless of wm version???
For what its worth I love/hate wm6.5- I hate that everyone now thinks that we have to have icons because we are too thick to use menus, if I really was that thick I would have purchased an iphone!!!

I recommend the fastest bestest most stable rom out there.
and I thought the reason we have all those iphone-alikes was so we could be almost cool enough to have an ibone. err.. iphone.
How often do you flash your phone?
For me, its everytime a new version of the rom i use gets released.
Off topic
Thanks to XDA is that I´m still loving WM!
If not I´m sure I moved to another platform
I have flashed so many times I don´t even remember
I usually flash when I get bored, or the ROM starts slowing down. Or whenever I flash my own ROM, I realize it is awful and go straight to xda for a new one
Been hooked for years But now I'm flashing on Android thanks to xda!
I've lost count as well. But the thing is I find myself instinctively returning to certain roms, even if it is a much earlier rom. It's like they have a personality of their own. ( I hope I don't sound too wierd here ... plus I have a life).
You also become an expert on how fast you can get all your software and themes up and running should the new rom rain on your expectations. It's like a pit stop in F1.
I started flashing about a week ago, and I tried 3 custom ROMs from XDA.
Im gonna try cooking a custom ROM myself soon too, because I have very specific requirements for my ROM
However, I'm NEVER going back to my original 6.1 ROM. 6.5.3 is the way to go, even though I can't use my old manilla themes anymore.
Everything improved by an awful lot.
Also, i think this post is a good moment to say thanks to all the chefs that create custom roms for us!
i only started flashing roms the other day, i was doing one a day but have settled on one that seems to be holding my battery a lot longer than the others i used so im gonna stick with this one (xannytech's EVOLUTION 1.1)!
also love this site and the "USE THE SEARCH" mentality, its awesome.
I don't have a *twitch* problem. I merely *twitch* need my *twitch* fix. I can *twitch* stop anytime, *twitch* do you have some*twitch*thing for me *twitch* to flash? *twitch**twitch*
Well to be honest I'm not sure how many roms I've flashed. I know its hundreds!!
I've 2 devices so I have one for everyday use and one for testing/flashing. As a mod I like to know what I'm talking about so I tend to flash nearly every rom which comes out for my device (HD). I'm flashing daily . However as more and more chefs have appeared this has become more combersome so I try and limit this to 3-6 chefs unless something really catches my eye (new build etc). So I'm only flashing when one of these chefs release a new rom.....which still seems to be daily or every other day...lol . Then I choose my preferred rom and flash it onto my everyday use device

lol, very good.....though I would get that *twitch* sorted out very soon......think I heard another rom was released!!!
for me, it depends on how much time i have, and if the new version of the rom has stuff that i am really interested in. otherwise, i'd just skip the update
There is no way to compehend how many times have flashed... Excalibur tryed all ROMs made joint project ROM every minor tweak a flash, Kaiser same deal yet now lives with stylez black v.5 once you have a ROM on there that is to your preference then flashing another isn't a necesitty, now using Touch Pro flashed the ROMs that take my fancy now back in Kitchen... Flashing aboit 2 x a day as need phone set up.
Spelling whack just had a surge and net not working used to inline spellcheck
So yes i still have the bug but not as bad as used too lol

I think constant flashing soon starts to ware you out. People have other committments as well which can eat up time. I've a family so my time is limited, but when I can I still flash, tweak and play. With time the bug does start to decrease, but only a little bit
I am definitely a flash junkie. Not a week goes by and im flashing another ROM. No other platform so far is this hackable\customisable\tweakable.....you get the point.
i flash mine everytime nrgz28 comes out with a new rom. he makes the best in my opinion. i also try others but i always find myself going back to energy roms!!!
