When do you Hard reset after a new flash?

[Hiquin]

I'm curious how people do this.

when you flash to a new rom, I know you're supposed to hard reset after it boots up.

my question is, do you let it boot up, do it's customizations, then reboot into the OS, and THEN power off and do a hard reset?

or, once you flash, and it loads up and is gonna do the customizations, does anyone pull the battery before it gets to that point and do a hard reset right then to save time?

whats the proper way? I've always let it boot, do the customizations, and reboot into the OS before I power off and hard reset and let it do it all over again.


also, whatever ROM you have currently running, does anyone do a hard reset to reset THAT ROM to default settings before flashing? and then flash? and then Hard reset again?
