How often do you "Flash" your Tilt

closeThis post was published 1 year 3 months 9 days ago.
It\'s is possible that the information within this article is now out of date or updated.

I was reading through the emails I received yesterday in response to helping out here and quite a few of the replies were from readers that have done a ton of ROM Flashing. Since I am not into modifying my devices outside of minor cosmetic changes, I can’t fathom this. How prevalent is this for everyone? Am a rare user in that I stick with official ROMS and Updates?

What do you think of the Microsoft offer to buy Yahoo?

  • Goto XDA developer for ROMs. Read alot! More than just ROMs there. But you have to do alot of homework, and alot more reading.

    Don't kill me or criticize please, but I've been looking around to find out what all this flashing and cid and stuff, and i dont understand any of it. Could someone help me at all? I really want my Tilt to have a not-sucky interface. Any places i can download a good Rom?
  • max947
    I usually cook my own and flash about once a week ;)
  • Jaycann
    I believe there was a blog on this already but can anyone throw out a top 5 of the best roms they have tried so far? Perhaps give a brief discription why? I am ready to try my first flash, but dont feel like going through the trial and error on these different roms if i can just get the best or fastest one first preferiably one that is super stable. Thanks in advance for everyons imput.

    I used to flash about once a week. I have since cut this down to about once a month. I love my current ROM right now and am planning on sticking with it for a great while. BTW I am using HyperDragon's ROM. He just came out with a ROM based on the Samsung Omnia i900...I'm so tempted. Probably will try it to see if there's a big difference or not.

    I only have my 8525, but I have flashed about 6 or 7 diffrent ROMS to date. I currently have one that I have stuck with for a little while as I am pleased with it.

    Its awesome having WM6.1 on my 8525.
  • btate0121
    once every few months. It used to be a lot more than that when i had my 8125.. mostly because i'd run out of space and want to reset anyway rather than uninstall stuff i don't use (tons of game demos and what have you).

    nowadays. i find a rom i like.. stick with it until it breaks and move on.

    there are a couple of chefs on the xda website that whenever they release a new version i will always flash it just to see if it's any better than the last, but i am good for flashing at least 3x a week. currently i am in love with Raiisk IBI v8 it is pretty stable and i love the all black theme. so far this has been my favorite, (untill he releases a new version) I really do hate the official ROM i had a lot of issues with it!
  • Nutcake
    I flash at least once a week in most cases. I just enjoy trying new roms to see which works the best.
  • James Schneider
    I'm not kidding when I say I sometimes flash at least 3 times a day. I know I'm crazy. But I mostly only flash once a day.
  • Alkhal
    I have flashed my 8525 before but never my Tilt.. Though I never use the AT&T crap they inject into their ROM's, the Tilt has more then enough memory for me to deal with.
  • Carey
    I flashed a few times when I first got it, to see which ROM worked best for me. Honestly, most of the ROMs out there are much faster than the official Tilt one. It's a noticeable difference.
  • Never, tho I plan to this weekend -=p
