FLASHING TO STOCK JUST TO FLASH CUSTOM ROM's

You flash back to stock to make every setting stock.

Say you flashed mighty. He changed setting X from stock to something else.

Say you flash to Juicy next. Juicy never changed setting X so it is still stock.

Since you were on mighty before, setting X is changed still and then you complain that Juicy ROM sucks because it doesn't work right. That is because setting X isn't suppose to be changed but it is since mighty changed it.

So if you flash mighty then stock then juicy then setting X is right and Juicy ROM is not broken.

That is how I understand it.

No - that's not the way it works. A ROM, when flashed, totally overwrites and replaces the contents of the prior ROM. Just like restoring an image to a hard drive.

(Again, there were issues with early VKs where that didn't always happen properly, but those were fixed last fall, and I've tried several ROMs and kitchens on my TP2, and have never flashed to stock)
