Flash the new ROM... hard reset and you're good to go. End of story.

A hard reset will NOT always clean the device. That is a fact.
I have had a custom act up and a simple hard reset on that rom caused more problems.
Try and tell me that a hard reset is all that is needed. LOL
So if what you are saying, why even do a hard reset after a new flash?
If say you want to flash the same custom rom over a failed custom rom install it may work better. IDK
But to make the device fresh and error free a stock flash is best before a new custom rom.
If you want to post helpful info then please do but to start acting like an infant and rant about what is the best way to make the device compatible is childish.
If these methods are not needed for you then GO YOU!
If you are one of the people that seem to always have ghost problems after a new flash then what a few of us are suggesting may do the trick.
Why come in and criticize someone for offering methods that we know our selfs work?
If your post helped someone then great but all I saw was rants and *****ing about a few extra steps in the flashing process.
If it does nothing then it does nothing but if it works ( works for myself and others ) why tell other people not to do it?

Gosh, really?
J.eremy - Your post about why to do the hard resets was very informative. Thanks. I personally haven't been flashing to stock each time and haven't had many problems. Maybe lucky; who knows. To each his own.
