Hi Chris. :)

I have an SGS i9000 and there are currently no updates really. They're all at least 2 days old. So I was practically forced to go cold turkey. It's terrible.

My name is Mark and I'm a Flashoholic. I have a favorite, but there's always a new promising update to a ROM I've tried or one I haven't tried. Gotta test 'em all! *twitch*
[Off-topic] leolawliet:
Hi my name is Leo and I used to be a flashaholic, until I learned how to improve my own device and take the time to understand how different tweaks work and effect our devices. I also learned how to make my own personal roms so I'm always pretty happy with my results. Also I have to be within reach at all times, this slowed me down with constantly flashing updates and new roms since I didn't have time to do so anymore, I lost all of that free time when I started working at this hotel here in NY.

The easiest solution for anyone to keep their ORD in check is to buy a newer more up-to-date high end device that needs a very low amount of maintenance. If you own an up-to-date device with a stock rom that gets you by and you're happy with it, what more could you ask for? Rooting is the first thought that comes to my mind but that's where it all begins again whenever I get my hands on a different device, I feel a need to push it past it's limits to see what it is truely capable of x____x
[Off-topic] Jarmezrocks:
Hi my name is James. I am WAS totally cured of ORD. I became a developer where by my device needs to be in standard working order for testing of apps prior to release to market. This and getting a job (which at the time - I am no longer working there) that was so full on and mentally gruelling, long drives too and from work mean that I no longer had the time to flash random add-ons or new firmware.

I have to admit that up until recently, my device because it is mildly modified and themed from when I was suffering from some ORD associations....meant that the last couple of months firmware updates had just slipped through the cracks. Being a 4G meant that I was still running the first stable ported SGS3 firmware.Cause my device was not standard I no longer receive standard network provider updates and I was actually running more than 2 versions behind most normal device owners.

Thankfully (I think?) a data corruption saved me, I downloaded latest firmware and built a new ROM and now the obsessive urges are returning. mmmmmmusssst resist!

Oh yeah meant to say that I had ORD so bad I had 2 Galaxy S2s, a Galaxy S3 and Sony Xperia x10(i think that is what its called? like ummm Galaxy S1 era...but it has corrupted bootloader and has sadly spared no attention whilst these other sexier devices were present).

That means that theres nothing left to do other than fix this poor ol girl and flash one of the latest and greatest developer builds so that ths S3 can remain somewhat stockish.:fingers-crossed:

[Off-topic] Stryke_the_Orc:
Ooh, I definitely have ORD. My obsession with android started when I received my HTC Hero in 2008. I kept hearing such wonderful things about CM but needed to root my device. Long story short, I ended up here under a different user name and rooted, then flashed. Being that my hero could download and flash from the device with the update app that was supplied, I consequently hadn't visited XDA in quite some time, and forgot my password. In 2010 I grabbed myself a Epic 4G Touch through Sprint and found myself back here under my current name. This device is by leaps and bounds far more than my hero ever hoped to be. I have now spent the last few years absorbing all the knowledge I can, creating personal ROMs and released a few. With the help of other members, we successfully brought Ink Effect to the device, as well as a few other neat mods. For the last 8 months or so, I have been obsessively working on bringing multiwindow to this device. We now have a ported ROM with working multiwindow thanks to Recognized Contributor Tdunham, but we're still working on making it work natively to be able to implement into all our existing ROMs.

This has been the topic of many discussions in my household, and I have had to limit myself to the amount of time I spend working on these items. I am a very long way from being cured,(not that I want to be) but with the "help" of an intervention, I have been able to maintain a workable amount of time dedicated to my hobbies.:victory:

I have ORD.

I have ORD and it all started when I got my first android phone- Xperia X8. Right now I use Xperia Arc. Because of Rom flashing, I neglected my family, failed 5 subjects at school, neglected my dog and everyday I use 60% of the time thinking about flashing roms into my phone. Also, I always change between stock gingerbread and in cm10.1 because gingerbread is good with photos but lacks of features, jelly bean is smooth but many thing don't work very well but it packs android 4.2 and full of CM features. Now I'm out of my mind and I wanna stop thinking about Roma or xda, I just want to be normal and use my phone normally and quit flashing tons and going on xda as I'm ruining my whole life.

4. The tracker is also updated with details, when the downloaded ROMs are merged into my personal ROM DB. Only the ones which I find stable are kept in my personal DB; others are puged..

5. Flashing ROM is my favorite relaxation now; earlier it used to be jogging and swimming..

Hey mates,

my name is Fabian, I'm 16 years old and I have ORD. I know I'm joining at a point when it's probably too late anyway, but I always was ashamed to go out and ask for help.

It started back in 2011. I got my first smartphone for christmas, a Huawei Ideos X3. It was a small one with low memory and a low processor, but it did the job for me. Two weeks from owning the device, I stumbled upon some tweaks to make the device smoother. I thought I'd just try it, what could possibly go wrong? Well, at first, I flashed once. It was nice and I kept the ROM for about one month. After that, I realized there were even better and faster ROMs out there, so I flashed more often, once a month, once a week, and finally, I flashed on a daily basis. I always thought "If I want to, I can stop immediately!" Well, sweet dreams.

After owning the Ideos X3 for eight months, I bought myself an update to satisfy my need for ROMs even better. So I went out and got an HTC One V. The specs were higher, even though it didn't fully fit my needs. Anyway, I flashed it as soon as possible. A year from having owned the One V, I had the chance to grab a Samsung Galaxy S2 for a really cheap price. I hopped on the deal and got it. Now, I'm in the state of downloading a rom, trying it for 10 minutes, and if I don't like it, flash another one again!

My flashing has gotten out of control.

My name is Fabian and I have ORD.
