It was a while ago and it was on JonRom i think it was called (?)...and whenever I flashed to another custom rom then BACK to JonRom, all my texts from a month ago when I flashed FROM his rom were still there, and I use multiple e-mail accounts on my phone and when I flashed back what also happened was my e-mail accounts would be there but "ghost", so I had tons of old e-mails that I could view in touchflo 3d, but when I went into outlook I couldnt access the accounts or delete any of the messages. I had to use a program called "SKTools" that went deep into the system files to delete these ghost e-mail accounts.
SO in essence, no your phone won't be any slower or crash any more often the more you flash...but it WILL make it a giant pain in the ass if you don't do it right because you could have ghost e-mail accounts, old text messages, and other things that are stuck in your phone that you can't delete in any conventional way.

I was just implying that it wouldnt hurt his phone to flash. Assumed that was what he was asking.
