How many times to you Reflash?

Just Curious how many times every one reflashes their Titan ROM on average.

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.

Re: How many times to you Reflash?

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"

Re: How many times to you Reflash?

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.

Re: How many times to you Reflash?

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

Re: How many times to you Reflash?

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.

Re: How many times to you Reflash?

sometimes there is no need to flash, but I find myself bored with some spare time and I reflash just for the hell of it. it's like some kind of disease. lol I like speed timing my resetup after a flash, my best time so far is 22 minutes. about 20 cabs, and all my tweaked settings, I should really get off my *** and cab up my personal settings somehow

Re: How many times to you Reflash?

I reflash about 5 times on an average for each new kitchen release. The first few times are just for trying new OEM to quench my curiosity. Usually, I reflash again after a few days of use after finding out what I like and disklike in current oem selections.
