Hi Fabian

And welcome, and I am a bringer of bad news. THERE IS NO FIX FOR ORD!

At best it is manageable, so I thought.

That was the time before MOBILEODIN!!

That thing is like giving crack to junkies and tell them not to take it but KEEP it in your pocket!!!

Man O man There is no hope!

But hey, I would not like it any other way..

There is a fix. Just flash ord_patcher.zip via recovery :silly:

It seems like there is no way out but running into the shops and buying a phone with a locked bootloader and little to no custom roms. But... That'd be a life i wouldn't want to live.

don't know why this disorder has me in its grips but it does. im never satisfied. im not a dev just a hobbyist i guess. trying to learn all i can.

I guess the best cure is to start using an i-device as only phone, becuz jailbreak sucks big time compared to using really custom roms :silly:

I've been addicted since November last year and it's spiraling downwards :crying:
[Off-topic] S1LENT_:
It all started with my Xperia ArcS in 2010 which introduced me to the beautiful world of Android. A friend of mine told me about XDA

(had no idea about root or custom ROMs for a whole 2 months :confused: don't know how I lived until then)

But once I unlocked that god-forsaken bootloader, my life changed!

I was constantly flashing ROM after ROM on my phone. And nobody around me ever understood this strange addiction of mine.

Imagine my relief upon seeing this thread and all my fellow addicted flashoholics, I'M NOT ALONE!!

Isn't it a complete adrenaline rush when you see a new ROM come out with new bug fixes or updates or tweaks?

Now I own an S4, and although it doesn't get as frequent FW updates or even stable CM11 for that matter, the addiction is still strong as ever!! :laugh:

Thank you XDA for being such an invaluable resource to me, I have learnt so much here, and I wish to start giving back too.

Hi my name is Ork and I have ORD.

It all started on the day I bought my first high end android device (Galaxy s2 at the time) I discovered the interweb world of XDA and my life has never been the same since. The first time I rooted my device was an extreme feeling of overconfidence and achievement. Plus the bragging rights when all your friends and housemates use iPhones. But I wanted more... I needed more... that's when I flashed my first ROM being CM9. the brilliance and the world that I uncovered was the start of a everlasting journey of late night downloads and reading changelogs while at work. Forever waiting for knock off time so I can give any new updates a go... since then I have unlocked, rooted and flashed a range of different android devices. Ranging through Samsung, Motorola, LG and HTC. And I'm still going strong....

It's not an addiction.... It's a lifestyle... ;)

Hi all,

My name is Guruprasad and I have ORD..

I bought my first Android and high end phone in January 2011. That's Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100G. First few months I've been using Stock Firmware and Samsung was so lazy to push a new software update (read ICS updates) to 2.3.6 gingerbread phone. Suddenly, my internet diverted towards custom ROM from a stock ROM. Rooted successfully using guide (Victory moment), flashed CM9 by CodeworkX & never looked at stock firmwares ever since then.. :D Flash at least one different ROM a day just to explore what it's got :D

My bond with XDA, Custom ROM and ORD getting stronger and stronger as days passes by. Thanks for letting me know that I'm not only one but there's a big number of people who have similar mentality :D

You think that's funny, punk?:mad: My n7100 just had a fight with gravity - and it lost. Now I'm looking to buy something else, and I've got my eyes set on the aged Note 8.0 tablet with LTE (n5120). Know how many ROMs exist for this device? Approx two! TWO.

I haven't bought it yet, but I'm already talking to a therapist.

Hi, my names is Beauregard, and I have ORD.

Buying my first smartphone immediately caused it.

The Droid X. Man that thing was slow as hell. But I discovered custom ROMs.

Bricking, flashing, restoring, backing up. Also with my Samsung Epic 4G. At least once a day until I got my Galaxy Nexus. Then it halted for a couple of months. I was eventually back on, flashing Paranoid Android, Linaro, you name it.

Then I got my Nexus 5.

I've flashed it all, but -for now- heavily modified stock ROM has halted my ORD.

But I know it won't stop for good.

The OP of this thread should hire therapists, psychologists or members who can fill this role, so there can be weekly therapy sessions :P

A "former" mild case of ORD. I found a way to flash custom roms onto the Galaxy S without using a computer at all which was great because I didn't own my own computer. It got to the point where I'd even flash roms in class, so by lunchtime I had the latest SlimBean or a nightly of CM10.2. (I kept a bunch of zips on my internal storage). I only ever needed a computer to downgrade, in which case I'd borrow my cousin's laptop.

Now I've got my S3 and my Galaxy Tab 10.1, and since then I haven't really felt the urge to flash custom roms. I have on my Tab a few times, but development is quite quiet there. Also, my cousin left for overseas, Ilike my S3 on stock (shoot me) and the 2007 HP desktop I now use (occasionally) has the computational power of a lemon, so I've effectively been "forced" off custom rom flashing...

I'm in serious need for help...i think the only solution is pulling out my Nokia 3330 from the closet. But who knows maybe I'll still find some type of hack for it too.

The other solution is chopping my fingers off....bit radical....but then again I'll probably start using my toes once I've overcome the trauma so I'll skip that.

The only real solution for now is trying my best not to let it take over my whole life....(while sitting on the toilet, while eating, while with my GF, driving)....truth is....

THERE IS NO CURE!
[Off-topic] ironman38102:
There is a cure. I myself had ORD untill I got a samsung phone which had no development and so I had nothing to flash....NOTHING and I couldnt buy a new phone due to some life problems. Then I thought to get a tab 3 from my carrier but turns out that the 7inch too has quiet development due to the chipset.

So basically havent flashed anything in 6months so pretty much the cure is to buy a non development phone.

/\ That was great but it has some truth in it... i mean once i had more versions of a rom than the dev itself.... it was asking me for some older versions... i have more roms and cwm backups and TiB than anything else... and it all started 4 years ago with a Motorola Dext/Cliq Mb220, that ended with a broken touch due to the unofficial multitouch mod... I tried a nokia e71 but i was already addicted to android and got myself a Samsung I9000 ... that was it for me easy flashing no sbl radio or other things that could break like the moto i was really living it... and it continued... got the i9100 flashed anything i could get my hands on... got the i9300 at 11am and didn't knew anything about it, rooting or anything but before 3pm it had a new rom... longest time without changing the rom on MY phone was when i got the i9505.... almost 2 month longest 2 months EVER but luckily i had my gf's s3 that i could flash once in a while (despite the fact that she wouldn't let me)

I too had the issues with call camera gps etc... my friends that were using nokias and iphone and.... were making fun of me but that never stopped me... whenever i get a phone i try to get one that it has a strong dev community and supporters... i couldn't get a niche phone or anything else... I find myself flashing 5 roms a day whenever i get a day off neglecting my gf(!!!) to flash new rom...

Lately work has stand in my way but i find solutions...

Luckily xda is here for us

[Off-topic] stress40:
I am so glad that I found this thread, glad that I now know that I am not alone in my suffering. Here's why...

It started when I got a Sony Ericsson Vivaz... I was just tinkering with it one day and found out that I could Mod it and I thought " wow, that is cool..."

So I just went about my normal daily business and thought nothing of it. Then I got a Galaxy S GT-i9000:eek: and discovered Darkky Rom (sadly he isn't developing any more) The first rom I ever flashed. Ever since I got that phone I have been on a downward spiral. I have lost count how many times I flashed that phone with Roms, Mods etc. Next I got the S3:eek: and discovered XDA. It was out of the box 30 mins (the 30 mins being setting it up:p) after which it had root and philz touch flashed and a Rom flashed, then another a couple of days later, the mods flashed. It just went on and on like that. I think I almost flashed it to death lol. If that wasn't enough, I also got hold of the wifes Galaxy Splus (much to her dismay:silly:) rooted that and customised it also. It got so bad that I bought her a Galaxy S4+ just so I could root and mod it for her lmao. I have also accosted the neighbours for old smart phones to mod (seriously). Now I'm on the Xperia Z2. My condition is so bad now that the wife says I spend more time with my phone and laptop than I do with her:eek: She'll ask me what site I'm surfing (cause I've been on the laptop for ages) and I'll say that I'm on Xda and she'll say "there's a surprise..." Please, anyone, I think I need help...:fingers-crossed:

It started back in late 2011, early 2012 I have just purchase my New Xperia X10 Mini pro and wasn't very satisfied with how it performed. After a few hours of searching, I came upon XDA Developers and started reading about what could be done to my phone to make it better. In excitement, I created an account on the forum ...

But something's wrong my worst nightmare begins, the OSD was here and it comes to will become in a crazy sick with OSD (Obsessive-Smartphone Updating Disorder) I need to purchase a new brand smartphone every month, oh my god, I have spent every money I have had, I have had troubles with my family and my girlfriend for this and I sometimes need for professional help but in xda there are many other people that they have OSD and ORD too.
