Well I'm no longer an apple fan lol

I became a apple hater...

When I first got my nexus 7 2012

My iPhone 4 instantly became my testing subject

I did evil things to it... .. .... ... . that's when my ORD symptoms started

And now I miss it

Can't pin test it anymore.

Now I must settle with Apple destruction videos on YouTube

Your right they don't know how good they have it. Back when only EU versions of devices saw updates or leaks.

Apple has its good points. Main one being is that it just works out of the box. You spend more time living life then messing with your device. My only issue with them died with Jobs. I even advise most people to get iPhones.

I think the more android focuses on security the more we will see people move to iPhones. Mainly with things like xposed becoming harder and harder to implement. In the end it's only a matter of time before things like xposed just wont work anymore. With Samsung helping Google with Android security we already see what happened to touch wiz based roms with it.

I completely disagree with pretty much everything in this paragraph. Had an iPad for school, made me hate apple even more. If you want simplicity, go Windows Phone (8.1+). Simple things like getting all my music and photos. All drag and drop or SD card. Gave up using iTunes. Setting up emails, Windows Phone linked every account I had with many different providers easily. Need to send more than one file as an attachment, file explorer on Windows Phone, couldn't do on IOS. Back up data, drag and drop to PC or if wanted, backup to cloud. When I got rid of the iPad, I gave up getting lots of my data off it because it was too hard.

Windows Phone is highly underrated and IOS is highly overrated. I use my 4in screen low end specced Nokia Lumia 520 for way more productivity (and games, and other stuff) than I even did with my iPad because it just worked better, even in isolation, but especially when connecting to other devices which ran multiple different operating systems (not just Windows).

I would recommend ALL Windows Phone devices to anyone wanting a simple phone that works over ANY iphone. And the lack of apps really isn't that big, which is why people ignore it. I wish the best for the platform. In many ways it is much better than android, but I couldn't give up the customisation. My ultimate phone is still something like a Nokia Note 4 dual boot Windows Phone and android. The next best thing though would be a flagship with Cyanogen OS.

Sent from my Galaxy Note 4........FAKE! Admit it, you thought I had money for a second didn't you?

Mine ORD got cured after testing many custom roms with stock kitkat.

Finally themes design dont attract anymore. LoL

Even stable roms have very big bugs like no network & bluetooth but gets called stable.

Enough is enough sometime. Got bored with android now. 3gb ram getting slow in ? apps is hard to understand. Same will happen with 4gb in android.

Windows with android app seems nice concept.

Till than no ORD or android flashing.

Hi! My name is Junior, nick is h4rddjr\hardsonic and i have ORD since jan/2014. I also would like to start saying that i made an XDA account just now to post on this thread. Also, I AM A FLASHAHOLIC, and i always try to flash the most different Android ROM's possible, like FIUI, Flyme OS or MIUI (which is the stock rom on my phone). Also, i miss an "Cydia" for Android, seriously, if there are any besides Xposed, tell me

[WALL TEXT INCOMING]

So here's a brief story of my life as an avid Flashaholic/ORD.

To me:

It all started with the Samsung Galaxy 5. That 600MHz CPU and all those 256 megabytes of RAM gave me so much fun with all Cyanogenmod 7 builds by [MENTION=3877378]psyke83[/MENTION]. I even flashed some very old MIUI... Only if i knew....

Then i jumped to an Alcatel Onetouch something, it had 1GHz and (if any) 256mb and no roms, i rooted it and removed so much bloatware that it looked like a new phone by the time i was done.

Then, by the end of 2014 i bought an iPhone 3G for the equivalent of $40 and flashed whited00r on it. Awesome phone, even more awesome ROM. Its performance was just epic for an 2008 phone. Then i bought an 3GS and it all ended, official 6.1.6 jailbroken, still surprised with it's monstruous performance for its specs and launch date.

Then i got an LG L7 (P705), it lagged SO MUCH on the LG ROM that i had to change ROM at 1st day, but then I finally played with a lot of ROMs, Slim, AOKP, OMNI, awesome roms filled with features that my phone almost couldn't handle xD. I stayed with it and 3GS till september/2015

Next phone was the Xperia C. Awesome phone, no real ROMs, but it was the first phone that i could really play anything besides Banana Kong and could use Xposed. Unfortunately, it had the famous battery problem, from 50% it would drop to 3% and die, so i didn't stay with it for more than 1 week. I sold it to a store so they could repair it and sell it for 2x the money they gave me.

Then, i finally bought my actual phone, a Redmi 2 (the standard one with 1GB/8GB storage), and even though i really love MIUI interface and animations, it's performance is TERRIBLE after 1 or 2 weeks of installing apps. Also, as of now, there is no custom kernel made for MIUI to help me deal with that, so yeah.

I flashed so much ROMs in this thing, it doesn't even have kernel source avaliable (even though Hugo Barra said it would be avaliable in 2 months "hahaha") but it does have a lot of CM based rom's, mostly based on [MENTION=4021423]ketut.kumajaya[/MENTION] work with CyanogenMod 12.1 and 13.

I am currently using CAF AOSP by [MENTION=5065706]pirej[/MENTION], it's one of the first AOSP rom's that i use and i'm quite surprised with its performance and smoothness, even if it lacks some features from other ROM's avaliable like TEMASEK CM.

So... Yeah.

I hate XDA, Android and (at the time i was using it) Cydia cause i can't just live without them

Have a magnificent morning/night/afternoon/day.

ORD description matches me perfectly :)

It beggined with Samsung Wave 723, Bada OS device, when I found out there are some custom Bada builds, and also Bada 2.0 leaked ROM :)

Then I got cheap Android, Sony Ericsson Live With Walkman, and found out all the things I can do with Android... custom kernel, modified stock rom, and finally whole new rom, CM :)

LWW was soon obsolete, so I was searching for the device with large developer support, and got Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and then it erupted :D I tried almost all available ROMs, PA, CM, Slim, Liquid, messed with stock rom with Xposed, overclocking and volting, flashing nightlies and new kernel versions as soon as released, well, almost everyday :D Even when on vacation, I found bar with WiFi, downloaded latest nightly and flashed right there while having a drink :D

Luckilly those urges receded, I settled with CM and no more playing with kernel, overclocking etc. When my Nexus started having problems with eMMC (common failure with this phone) I looked for some alternative. Of course with official CM support ;) I ended up with getting Samsung S4 mini, and flashed CM right after unboxing :D I firstly flashed snapshot, but soon I got a little eager and switched to nightly channel :angel: Since then, I flash new nightly once a week, but I check CM changelog for new and fixed issues regularly, almost everyday :o

Anyway, I´m happy I overcame the flashing and modding frenzy with my Nexus, and settled to this moderate ORD schedule ;)
[Off-topic] hacknmtk:
I have ORD... at least I did on the previous three phones I had. Now with my Alcatel Pixi3 4.5 4G, and MediaTek not releasing their source code, I think I'm in recovery. By recovery, I mean I spent the day working with [MENTION=5515628]kirito9[/MENTION] (thank you for having the time to help with this) on a TWRP recovery for this Pixi3 model 5017O :p. Now on to kernel building, well... more kernel building, boot.img building and testing, and hopefully a fix for the nagging problem with this phone not allowing /system or /custpack to be mounted RW. Then a move up to pure AOSP, if possible, without the stock source code. So much work to do. Thankfully I am cured of ORD or I wouldn't have time to do anything. New system and custpack partitions that I modified for testing have been flashed, and running flawlessly so far after 24 hours or so. New SuperSu.zip (thank you [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] for your hard work) has been flashed and updated. Backups have been made... Now if I can only remember what I forgot to do today, I can get back to the command line lol. ORD can be cured. I'm proof :p. Good luck to you all.

Hello my name is Rami and I am a flashaholic and have ORD.

My daily driver is the Samsung Galaxy S4 (i9506) running AryaMod S7 Edge ROM.

I used to have cm13 then I switched to cm11 then back to cm13 then to AICP then to stock, debloated, deodexed 4.4 ROM then back to cm13 then to AryaMod (And a buc´nch of other ROMs but I can't remember them all, I wish I did since some of them I liked a lot but my ORD told me to flash moar!).

My "backup" phone is the Xperia U running cm11.

I used to have modded stock then moved to cm11 then cm12.1 then cm11 again.
[Off-topic] Gravemind2015:
Hi. I am Gravemind2015. I believe I have ORD.

The first android phone I had was iBall 4.5z, bought in April 2014. Rooted with xposed. The performance was horrible sometimes, although I wouldn't blame the phone which has a 512 MB of ram+4gb internal+1.2 ghz mtk6572+8mp+5mp combination. I remember the old days and wonder how I managed to install about 200 apps in there.

Then I got my second one, an HTC Desire 620G. It was again, an mediatek. Originally, I had decided on the Desire 620, but the 1.2 Ghz quadcore snapdragon looked paler than 1.7 Ghz octacore on the mediatek one. And that was perhaps a serious mistake.I couldn't do more than a custom recovery, root and xposed. I stayed that way and hoped for a new phone. About two months ago I manually ported a cm12.1 based rom into it.

My third and current phone is Motorola Moto G 2015 Osprey XT1550.My first snapdragon! And I was lucky, this rom has a good community and development going on.

I flashed cm12.1 immediately after getting the phone. Then to cm13, then to rr,blisspop, and now on AICP. I have flashed many other roms too, but these are my favourite. I trully enjoy this phone. Thanks to all those developers and members who are active to develop and support this device.

I am sure that my next phone will be either a Nexus or a OnePlus. Have a nice day folks!

Hi, I am tasnim_tamim and I have ODR.

I firstly rooted my first android device named Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. I actually rooted it without any knowledge of what root really is. What I knew about it was just you could hack games and theme your device. Anyway I was actually not quite satisfied with the performance (after all that's a heavy bloated 2012 TouchWiz) so I googled about how to increase speed of android using root. And I found a guy on YouTube showcasing a CyanogenMod 10 ROM with really good performance and lots of cool features. I was really extremely excited. I flashed the ROM. But lost interest in it. I kept the ROM like it. Because I didn't had any knowledge what the ROM really is.

Year after it I got my new Samsung device named Galaxy Grand Prime. It was good though. But the only thing I hated was android 4.4. I was so mad that I forced to root it. Then I met up with the XDA- Developer and it's community. I looked up a thread showing Updating to 5.1 using Odin. I did it with my risk and it worked. Month after I saw a Review video on XDA TV YouTube channel reviewing CM12.1. And I was surprised the feature that it had. I soon started researching more about this ROM. And I got more excited that I decided to left that old laggy touchwiz and install cm12. I installed a nightly build of cm12.1 (which BTW had lots of bugs including the WiFi). And when I used it I was surprised with those features. I soon started to keep downloading these nightly builds every single day and tried my best to report bugs before anyone does. Keep pressing the refresh button till a new update comes up on Jenkins server. I've gone crazy of downloading these builds. Every time I goto toilet I refresh the browser, goto school refresh it. I've gone obsess with it. Until I eventually hard bricked my device. Which lead me to buy another Galaxy Grand Prime phone (now with the xcu version). But I was scared to make the mistake again. So I decided to do all of these to my Galaxy tab 2.

To to this day I've already installed CyanogenMod 13 on my galaxy grand prime and RessurectionRemix ROM in my Galaxy tab 2. I still have this ODR and still update nightly updates daily on my both devices

Again my name is tasnim_tamim and I have ODR (Obsessive ROM-Updating Disorder). And this XDA- Developer forums changed my life. :o

Hi! I'm abdulrahman15ar.

I'm also have an ORD!

Before going to my story, I've to tell How I found that this Addiction is a COMMON DISORDER throughout the members of xda community & other ROM development forums.

In this week full of times, I often thought that I've to search about this addiction on Google. But my addiction also made me forget this research!! Finally, Yesterday I'd searched on Google as "Custom rom addiction". Oh GOD! There are really an available posts about this addiction and they named this as an ORD (Obsessive ROM updating Disorder)!!! Ohhh no....!! Now I got another mental disorder!

Yes! I've already had Depression, Anxiety and Importantly Social Awkwardness which is already the known symptom of Smartphone Addiction.

Okey!! Now come to the point...

I'm severely affected with ORD.

It was started a two years ago (In 2015). At that time I was with Nokia X which runs on Nokia X software platform v1. As everyone know that the OS has poor Android experience. Then I found something on Internet about Custom ROM flashing. At first, I didn't know more about recoveries like CWM, TWRP.... So I've had bricked my phone a lot of times. Gradually, I've learned that How to flash any custom ROM and perform tweaks (Still I'm learning something small matters on ROM flashing everyday). I've changed the ROM on my Nokia X a lot of times. Then I realized that this business is not good and I've to change myself. Then I bought a Lumia phone (Nokia Lumia 520) in which the ROM and even a Launcher can't be altered. After a two days of Windows Phone experience, I can't control me to see only the same System UI on Windows Phone which is quite hard to use. After one and half month, I sold it and I'd passed my days with my Nokia 225 feature phone and searched to buy any other phone. Then I bought a Nokia X2 Dual SIM. Even though Nokia X2 had an improvement on System UI (Its Nokia X software platform 2), I can't stay at Stock version of that OS. I also changed its ROM to CM12 with bugs. Had a life with it for a time. Then I sold it and had a Nokia 225 again in which there's no possibilities of addiction. Even though, I need to have a Smartphone for some works. So I bought a Xiamoi Redmi 1s phone which I'm still using. Ohhh........no! It has a lot of Custom ROMs and still the latest LineageOS 15 is under development....!! What can I do! Can't control and stay the Stock version or any other ROM. Jumping and jumping daily. Also the company makes me to be too addicted! They're giving MIUI 9 update to my phone!!

Please anyone help me to exit from this wave!!!

Comparto mi experiencia

Mi problema empezó hace como 18 años cuando cayó en mis manos un motorola C332, lo encontré y tenía la sim bloqueada, pensé que se podía desbloquear borrando el firmware y reinstaladolo (tonto) , aprendí mucho, tenías que configurar los controladores a mano, ya había tenido un nokia 8210 pero ese ya era un superteléfono, después del Moto C332, un Sony Z520, a ese me gustaba cambiarle los temas, no paraba, después un Moto A1200, había rom al por mayor, hasta windows 3.1 le instalé desde el emulador dos, el HTC Inspire 4G (mismas rom que Desire HD) fué el que más daño me hizo, después el Samsung S4, S5, (S6 Edge para mi hija, S7 Edge lo compré con LCD roto), el ORD se detuvo y aún me cuesta trabajo asimilarlo, cuando adquirí en oportunidad el Moto Z2 Force, a éste no hay mucho que hacerle, a veces me desespero y trato de compensar revisando actualizaciones de la play store o cambiando los íconos o instalando un tema con substratum. Necesito un teléfono barato y popular para entretenerme, tal vez como recomiendan un Nexus 5.

De todos el que más he disfrutado era el A1200, usar samba, linux, ezlauncher, modificar xml...

(Translate of Google)

I share my experience

My problem is that I had to unlock the firmware and reinstalled (silly), I learned a lot, you had to configure the drivers by hand, I had already had a Nokia 8210 but it was a phone super, after the Moto C332, a Sony Z520, a phone that I liked to change the themes, I did not stop, after a Moto A1200, there was a major, until Windows 3.1 the installer since the emulator DOS, the HTC Inspire 4G (same ROM Desire HD) was the one that hurt me the most, after the Samsung S4, S5, (S6 Edge for my daughter, S7 Edge I bought it with broken LCD), the ORD stopped and I still had a hard time assimilating it, when I acquired the Moto Z2 Force, there is not much to do, sometimes I despair and try to compensate by checking updates to the play store or changing the icons or installing a theme with substratum. I need a cheap and popular phone for entertainment, maybe as they recommend a Nexus 5.

Of all those who enjoyed was the A1200, use samba, linux, ezlauncher, modify xml ...
