"crack pusher"? in this vast universe of ( you fill in the blanks ) it's a challenge getting out of any addiction. So if there is a crack in the granite that takes me to the other-side of here i am more than grateful!
AND i wasn't blaming you for anything; just saying: " you didn't warn me "
Thanks for taking me under your tutelage.;)

Now give me MORE!
 
O, man I'm gearing up for some serious crunk here. I've got a new idea, hope I can pull it off. :)
O and it's been 3 days since my last flash. Getting the shakes, and my hands smell of cabbage.
 
cabbage? LMOA:D:D:D:D:D:D
i fell over on that one.

ok so i tried the merge rom and liked it but it freaked out with darktremors so i just flashed the synergy-kingdom nightly last night.so my last flash has been less then 24 hours. i know i'm weak.:o

damn it granite where's my cabbage?
 
Hi my name is Todd but the difference between me and all the rest of you flashaholics is I know I have a problem, therefore I must not be a flashaholic! By the way does anyone no of any FA(Flashaholics Anonimus) meeting places in Phoenix.
 
My addition is escalating... Usually I last at least a couple days between flashes, but this weekend the gf was out of town, and I flashed Decks, evolvedROM, salvagemod 1.4, and back to MikG (but with a different theme). This is seriously getting out of hand... ;)

No, let it over take you.
I think I only flashed one new rom this weekend; went to a couple nandroids though, I usually don't do that, but they were pretty recent.

I think my rom addiction is under control.

Hi all .....this rooting thing all started innocently enough..was just going to get the hotspot fix and that was it....now I'm an addict....even when everything is going good in my relationship with my evo I'm always looking around for something better looking, faster, more attrabutes...I feel cheap and unfaithful....my god what am I to do...are there meetings, are there pills that will help....maybe I should start R.A. ( rooters anonymous ) at least then there would be others like me to talk to....:D...who will join

ok so i resurrected and moved this old thread from the og evo root forum because i like the idea of it, so..............

hi hunterbeav(ooops i mean Jim) and fellow AF members,
my name is ocnbrze and i'm a flashaholic. i have rooted and flashed three phones so far. i have rooted the htc's og evo, evo 3d, and now the evo 4g lte.

i still have my og evo, but it is not activated which i use it mainly as a mp3 player, but i still flash many roms to it. it has definitely got many flashing miles on it. i just flashed the alienmod rom and will soon flash 4 kornerz.

on my evo 4g lte, i have tried many roms, but i keep settling on the pacman rom by LOTK and jamieg71. LOTK is one of my favorite dev teams and i will always flash their roms.

do you guys think i need help? am i doomed to be a flashaholic for life?......God i hope so:eek::D

why? there are so many benefits to rooting your device. plus it frees you from the grips of the manufacturer and carrier. and it gives you better performance and batter life for most.

just a warning though as it can be addicting;)

I love the benefit of rooting, as you can tell that my phone is rooted but, I hate the process of rooting.

You have to do lots of research and reading etc.

I only root when absolutely necessary.

well this thread is more about flashaholicism and not about rooting. depending on the device, i agree that rooting can be difficult for some.

but as i stated i have a flashing issue. i just want to perfect my phone and flashing some of these roms just help to satisfy my itch. and boy have i been itchy lately. and it is an itch that no cream can soothe:D

edit: you are right i need to change the title.

I'm right there with ya buddy.

I was on a rom that was perfectly stable and I was happy with, but I started to get that itch and the sweats and just had to flash this morning to scratch that itch :D
 
ocnbrze said:
sweats.....yes i get this as well. do you ever get the shakes right before you flash a new rom? (i hope it is not just me):D
Click to expand...

Oh most definitely! Just the anticipation of what that rom will bring you.

Do you ever nand back because the new rom has a tiny flaw that irks you so bad you just can't deal with it? I have so many times, I'm way too picky :(

or you get the flashing bug so bad that you think you can find and fix the flaw but that usually ends up just flashing another rom.........ok this is getting out of hand......i must go to sleep lest i stay up all night flashing and playing with my phone!!!!!!:o
 
Every time I think this might be THE rom I get the itch for something different. I might go back to something that is a favorite, but the itch always comes calling and there I go again. I've lost track of how many different roms I've tried so I guess that makes me a Flashaholic!

I can't help, but think it's time for another :D:D
 
I go through periods where I want to flash every ROM coming down the pike just to see what it will do, and then I'll go weeks with no desire to change a thing on any device.

I do keep a couple of old phones around just for play. I wouldn't say I have a problem. I only have 5 phones, two tablets 3 desktop PC's 4 laptops, 2 servers, one NAS .... um, maybe I do have a problem. :rolleyes:
 
I guess I'm in the club as well!! I have several nandroids on my phone right now, and a usb stick with everything I can possibly flash to my phone saved for a just in case scenario!! OMG!!
