When will it end?

When will flashing a new rom will end? I enjoy all the new updates that Mighty comes out wit (currently tricking out 4.4.3) but every time a new rom comes out I feel the need to flash it hoping that the problems Ive had will cease but something new always rises like its an emerging property in the hierarchy of roms. My thing is how many times will I have to redo all my settings for a new rom and how many times will you?

IT WON'T NEVER END

This is a highly addictive activity and the community just makes it so easy to fall in love with....ive been active for almost a year and its been a non stop thing...i might go 4 or 5 days without flashing.....thats max...its usually every other day or so....it gets really bad once you start cooking your own...lol

I'm so addicted I had to buy a Diamond as well, so I always have something to flash

Uhhhh... about 340,000 flashes into your phones, you may get tired. But maybe not. I'm over 150 on the Mogul and I'm still loving it. Lucky for me I just activated my new TP last night. Thank the sweet Lord for a well placed weekend without the NFL or NASCAR (I won't watch the ProBowl, but I will watch a little Daytona 500 qualifying).

I can quit any time, man... I don't need to flash, I just want to... I mean, I just choose to keep doing it... it's not like I need it or anything... I just...

Man, I could use a flash right now.

I suggest you learn about UC, and how to make a decent SDConfig. Good things are upon the PPC horizon, and if anything, it will save you at least 20 mins of manual cab install/customization time when flashing new ROMs.

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. =)

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.

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.
