I totally understand. Once I feel like I have a stable and great working ROM... those Kitchen gurus go ahead and mess everything up and release a New and updated ROM... lol.

once a week...yeah...but probably much less I'm waiting for iSWISH then one final flash for the whole summer

Wow, I'm a bit surprised already.

I thought #2 (every update) would be highest...

but I guess with every update comes 5-6 reflashes to get it "just right"

I have probably flashed at least 5 times with every kitchen release eperimenting and tweaking my cooked rom. I couldn't begin to figure what my flash count was.

For a device that is only meant to be programed once or a few times in its lifetime, I sure hope the flash memory doesn't wear out quick.

EDIT: I imagine there is some sort of wear-leveling since we use the program memory for whatever, but I would think there are some OS specific files, partition info, and what not that needs to be in the same sectors every time.

Once a week or so.
Usually due to either:
- new ce version
- bug fixes (and new additions)
- phone is slower and I don't know why
- free time

Look in your build status window...close to the end you'll find "Build xxx completed"

approx 10,000 flashes...it's unlikely you'll wear it out during it's lifetime.

There hasn't been a kitchen update in any of the major 3 devices (Apache, Titan and Vogue) for over a 10 days... I haven't reflashed in over a week...

I think I'm beginning to have withdrawal symptoms...

I've stuck with the stock ROM and have not had any problems. Of course there has been some tweaking. Although lately I have had the urge to try the latest from no2chem.
