Try a samsung instinct, you want have to flash at all, just wait until its time to buy a new phone and then you will have a updated phone.

Im not saying that i do not enjoy the new rom b/c if mighty came out with 100 roms in a 100 days I would flash 100 roms in a 100 days. Just thought it was a good forum topic and wanted to see other opinions. I hate the Instinct

You keep the same phone but eveyweek you get new options, upgrades and features.
All the things I hated about my Diamond are fixed.
I found a solution for everything!
Except the TV-Out function… (That would be awesome)



While an Iphone user can’t use flash, my Opera now works with flash content….
While an Iphone user pays for every peace of software, I get tons of new freeware every week…
While Iphone users will spend 500$ for the Iphone 2 to use new features… I just Flash my Diamond and got the Manilla HD from the new HTC Touch HD..
I love my Diamond...

Your opera works with flash when did that happen? Clue me in.

6.5 will be more readily available soon in terms of custom ROMs and kitchens. And as we all know, new things brings new 'bugs'. If your tendency to flash is as strong as you say, I dont think you will be able to avoid flashing newer/improved builds for some time; that is, unless you find a ROM youre comfortable with and just stick to that for awhile. =)

What is a UC and a SDConfig? Or point me in the direction on how to learn how to make one.

opera with working flash is working with certain roms now. it's still very choppy and skyfire is a better solution for this. Indagroove's new roms have opera cooked in with flash support. great rom as well.

UC= User Customization and SDConfig is the name of the text file that you put in the root directory of your Internal Storage which controls it.
This is a great thread over at XDA that explains it. You mainly have to read the first few posts, but there are some updates and nice explanations throughout. Once you've done it, you won't use (or create) a ROM without it.

Jumping from one rom to the next only to find some other new problem when all along the stock rom on this phone was really not that bad. I remember on my Mogul the stock rom was not even close to DCD's work. But the Diamond stock Sprint rom is actually the most stable rom I've had. Not as fast as some of the custom stuff, I know, but still not too shabby. What I have mentioned before is I wish more developers would get crackin on some nice custom UI's instead of cooking roms.

I have the best idea in the world for you... Make your own damn UI's or quit *****ing...

*sigh*

1 ) False
2 ) False
3 ) What??? Iphones are 150-200 with contracts. Soooo you just flashed a new UI onto your Diamond? Congrats! I used to hate paying $500 for a new skin on my Iphone....

I'm not an Iphone fanatic by anymeans. But the Iphone (performance wise) blows anything away on the market. There are TONS of developers that make programs for the Iphone for free. I just can't stand hearing someone trash the Iphone that apparently doesn't know anything about it...

My thing is how many times will I have to redo all my settings for a new rom and how many times will you?

I know how ya feel.. I probally flashed my diamond 50 times. I feel I need to try every new rom that comes out. I just cant stop....

Good call.

Getting a good SDConfig and some configuration xml documents setup makes flashing a lot easier.

the only thing I have to do manually after a flash is plug in for active sync, put in my e-mail passwords and rebuild my favorite people tab, the rest is done automatically.

[ivan1.ruiz]

YES UC makes it so much easier.. Like Tobey said Try cooking ROMS it could get "FUN" sometimes..lol

[kyrumo]

Its gonna end for me pretty soon because my ol lady is gonna kill me if I continue to stay up late talking to the "GEEKS"
