i still dont think its nessecary either. this thread you linked to is trouble shooting for random hard resets, not telling every one to do this just because. ive never experienced them and i flash about twice a week. ive only flashed back to stock when a rouge cab jankifies my phone. also, i used the elite team rom when they first dropped the hspl, and it changed my splash screen and it wouldnt change back. then i had to flash back to stock. the flash dance is bs.

Based on what you just said, I'd think you'd agree flashing stock would seem to be a good idea then. Custom ROMs are one big rogue cab, and even though it might not jankify your phone to the point it is broken, some things that can slow your phone or give unexpected results *CAN* linger, and provided one quick example. If ensuring that nothing does isn't worth your fifteen minutes, don't do it. YMMV.

That was my two cents, I'm not trying to come off as a jerk or attack anyone, my only point was that flashing stock fixes/prevents some issues. I'm done with the topic.

if i'm not mistaken, someone said to hard reset, and then hard reset again to make sure you got everything out that shouldn't be there. i wanted to try mighty's updated ROM if it's done so i think i'll give this a go. i THOUGHT i had to flash back to stock but if i don't have to, i wanna hurry up and get the new ROM on my phone!

I've flashed dozens of times(yeah,I'm a tad compulsive)and have occasionally had issues if I didn't revert to stock first. So my personal rule is stock first then flash. Using this method I have not had issues. I stick with what works for me, takes maybe ten extra minutes. I hate to get all my stuff/settings reloaded the way I like it on a new rom and then start having issues. But thats just me and my $.02. To each their own.
