Ok, maybe this shows the extent that I'm hooked, but I think I'm having "Flashing Withdrawls"...
All day long I've been hoping the new Faria Vanilla WM6 comes out so it would give me a reason to flash a new rom. Since I started flashing new ROMs (only a month or so now if you can believe that) I've been putting new roms on my phone every few days. It started simply with wanting to fix my Radio to get rid of problems I had, and trying out the 2.47 and 2.61 on the stock Cingular ROM. Then I decided to try out CID Unlocking and something called AKU 3.3. My eyes were opened, and the addiction had taken hold... But then I kept reading about the world of WM6, and had to move to that.
Soon I realized that WM6 MBE was the longest to stay on my phone (up until now) being on my phone for almost 5 days (imagine! 5 days on a single rom!!!). NotTooSmart then passed me the "beta" version of his reworking of the mUn ROM last Thursday to try out and I've been on it ever since. The beta actually became production with no changes and is the one that went live, so there was no reason to reflash the ROM. Its been working fantastic (couple of quirks here and there, but all the WM6 stuff have quirks, and most have more than what I've had based on stuff I read here)... So thats 7 days now without doing another flash.
I keep looking at my phone and feel like it needs to be hooked on the USB to my laptop and flashed... I miss seeing the BootLoader screen... I miss the anxiousness of waiting for the bar to hit 100% and the phone reset to a new OS.
I hear the call of new ROMs like X-Plore's that is so tempting to try, but I've told myself I'm holding out. I have something that is working, and I don't need to try it... But it keeps calling... I'll wait for Faria's Vanilla first... Or can I???
I've even started cooking my own splash screens. I've started thinking about dabbling in the "kitchen" to start really "cooking" with Molski's tools.. Then I think about the Molski roms I haven't tried. And there's that Superrom and others (but can I really go back to WM5 now?)
I've even started thinking about pinging coworkers at work that have 8125's to see if they want me to "upgrade" their phones... Pass on the addiction and get them "hooked"...
I have it bad...
Hi, my name is MFrazzz, and I have a problem... I'm a Wizard ROM Flashing junkie...
ROFLMAO!!
I'll be the second to join your 12-step club for addicted ROM flashers!! I've now talked a co-worker into buying the 8125 just so I can teach them everything I know and flash their's to the "latest and greatest".
Don't know that we'd be much support for each other trying to kick the habit, or not, though. But, we could sure share some stories and compare notes. . .
Hello my name is Kirby and I am addicted to flashing my phone. My wife hates my phone and threatens to take a hammer to it.
Kirby
Hi! After a long talk with my self...I have to admit it! I am also adicted to rom flashing!
My name is NotTooSmart,
I am an addict just the same, but I think my addiction goes deeper. Im a chef. And it kills me that I have written an almost perfect rom and I keep breaking out the tools, but cant think of anything to cook on it. I must have dumped the NotTooSmart ROM a hundred times, but never go through with the cooking. I need help!!! Someone asked me to write a WM6 for the apache, so of course Ive tried starting, but my 8125 looks so lonely when I even think about it. I guess I will have to live with this addiction, at least till I get my TyTN or I end up with a brick.

Who said anything about kicking the habit??? I'm just admitting I have a problem
If we took those clear plastic adhesive screen savers and just printed screen shots of every new ROM to come along onto them, us addicts could just stick them on our Wizards and feel like we actually have the "newest".
Might call it......The Patch!
problem?
I think I might have a problem. rkwhyte2 – my wife hates my phone with a passion as well. As we lay in bed at night she asks what am I thinking about and before I can answer she say 'that stupid phone' and gives me an elbow to the gut. Does anyone else lay in bed at night until their spouse falls asleep to sneak off to get another fix and flash a new rom in the wee hours of the morning...or is that just me?!?

Oh damn...dejavue. I have been down that road several times. The wifes hates the phone and she hates the computer. What am I to do I'm a network administrator and also in charge of the phones. I eat and sleep this stuff and it drives her crazy. Somehow the statement that I was in IT when we got married doesn't mean anything to her anymore.
Hi I'm Jody and I'm an addict. I just ruptured my Achilles tendon playing basketball (my other passion). My wife is NOT happy. Guess what I will be doing week after next. (chef hat goes on)
ROTFL...among friends of course.

So glad to see I am not the only one!!! I am a Networks/Computer Security guy and I live,eat and breath computers and now 'that stupid phone' !!! I am going to have my wife read it too so that she may feel good about she not being the only one married to WM addict..... ;-)
I am pretty sure my workplace netadmins are going to block xda-developers.com; one senior employee has gradually reduced productivity because of a device which is supposed to increase productivity!!!

A few weeks ago when XDA-Developers went offline, I was positive they had blocked it from me at work. I actually panicked a little that they might be coming around to talk to me
Yeah when I first started to write the original post, I was going to say I'm an XDA-Developer.com junkie... But I'm not ready to admit that. I know I can stop anytime. I'm positive. Yeah, thats not a problem...

"My name is Josh and I have been addicted to flashing for 8 months now. "
"Hi Josh"
"It all started when I was young kid and my neighbor wanted to play doctor"

Oh (*&^ not that kind of flashing!!!

Anyway, I am definitely addicted to ROM flashing and my girlfriend also hates my phone! She just doesn't understand why I spend so much time on a "stupid thing" that is "just supposed to make phone calls". Ahhh, the ignorance...
If you significant other has ever "been too tired" because you came to bed late after flashing your phone and had to reset everything, raise your hand...
Just me? Come on, I know there are others!
Raising hand, I have flashed about 30 times since I was introduced to this site. I have flashed every single WM6 rom numerous times and also Wm5, I have unlocked my phone numerous times and flashed the Wizard Love rom about 50 times. I have bricked my phone numerous times and been able to revive each time, I am a Wizard junky!!!! I am so much of a junky I bought my wife a G3 Wizard also. I deserve a medal or something.

I tried quitting flashing...but I always go back to what my father taught me....
"Nobody likes a quitter"
I was considering taking a drive to Camden NJ to ask if on the corners if anyone has "a good ROM to flash" ... that's when I knew I have a problem.
Now it's just memories....."ahhh, the glory days of when everyone was flashing."
I'll have to tell my grandchildren someday.. "Yeah, I tried that flashing thing. But don't you try it!"
Ohhhh....I even got my HTC Car charger in the mail today that I submitted the coupon for in December... Normally I would have been excited getting something for free and it being a gadget...but.....
I felt nothiing......I'm dead inside. (If it ain't a new ROM...then forget it)
ughhhhh, I'm bored.
Hi, my name is Iulian and I'm an addict .
I'm doing my best to quit
But this thing is too powerfull.
...yup .... here it comes again ....
gtg and flash some more, it's been 2 hours since last one...and already i'm nervous and I have red eyes
btw, what does ROTFL mean ?
Hi ... I'm D W N Y ... and I'm a flasher ....
Can't stop, won't stop, can't stop
I don't just flash, I walk around with at least for 4 roms...looking to flash others
Help...or is it toooo late
ROTFL=Rolling on the floor laughing
Well I normally dont bring my problems to the site but this one is big. I was on my way to my dads when I got a text from the girl I have been with that says she thinks she might be pregnant! Now the first thought I had was that she was screwing with me because she likes to do tht when im not all in my head if you know what I mean. I have already been woried because I am going in for an MRI early tomorrow because I seperated my left shoulder for the 8th time. I have already had surgery on this shoulder and they already know there is a chunk of bone the size of a quarter broke off and floating around in my shoulder. She knows all this so im thinking she is just screwing with my head trying to get my mind off my MRI but then I discovered she was serious so i proceeded to call my best friend since kindergaten and started talking about it to him she hasnt taken any tests yet but she has been reallly moody and stuff lately so idk but its only been about a week since we have done anything so I dont know just needed a place to vent and some advice. Oh and yes I did protect no matter how gone I was I know I did things safely.
yea I know but we are both in the tenth grade so its kinda hard to do that.

You just go to the chemist and buy one, any doctor in most countries are obliged to treat you in confidence so I wouldn't worry to much about it.
well i just heard about it on the way to my dads i might be able to do something to help find out something in the afternoon
I'll try to share some of my experience
-There is a small chance that you get pregnant when using a condom.
-My ex thought she was pregnant at more than one occation without being so.
- Sometimes the menstruation can be a little off with women, making them worry if they are pregnant or not. This is often caused by using Birth control pills that can set off the menstruation cycle by more than a few weeks.
-You can't know until you take a pregnancy test, you can get from the apothek, chemists, drugstore or whatever you call it. Try and discuss with her before she takes the test what you will do if this or that happens. There is always more security for both of you when you know what the other will do.
At your age, parents can be like a nightmare, but at the end of the day, they normally only wants what is best for their offspring. So they might fly up in scared anger at first, but then they will be supportive after a few breathers...
Remember, all grownups have also been horny teenagers at one time, even though they would never admit it.

what country do you live in? In the US you can get them at any drug store over the counter.
thanks for all the replies and we will talk about getting a test its only been about a week since we have done anything and I did protect so it should be ok.

If it's only a week.... I don't think you can tell anything
Ok I know this is an extremely stupid question, and yes I'm sure its been asked before. But I've been REALLY bored lately and just thought I would ask. Is it possible to or has it been tried to port the iPhone os to the g1?
Please keep the ridicule to a minimum. Remember, its only a harmless question.
the difference in closed-sourced and open-sourced.......
no, it can't be done.
(for now i will not flame you, but i make no promises if gridlock or supremeteam or someone else i know gets on here and starts laughing at you)
Oh no worries if it were someone else I would flame them just virtuous. Although if I had known it was still closed source I wouldn't have asked because I thought when 3.1 hit they were going open source.
This is the first I have heard of apple going open source with their iphone os. If that is true then I guess it could possibly done though I wouldn't expect anything anytime soon
Apple go open sourced, hell hasn't froze over yet but I did see a pig fly earlier, but it didn't have wings and we turn around and........**** I am gonna incrimate myself if I say anything fruther.
Know onto david's request:
If you would like icrap's os, I am writing a guide soon on how to brick your phone, I could send a copy to you for only 4 payments of 18.95, limited time offer though. Once you follow my guide than you can go buy a ipone and have the os all you want.
Good night now, it's 7 in the morning and I was woken up for some stupid ass side work as captain save a ho ****, that ain't happening again.
So I am out of commision for a few hours, I hope I don't miss too much
Anybody that would be able to port it over are to content with your android to port it, but it is very safe to say that if it did, the green guy might come out and try to kill us all, or at least self destuct the g1 for be defiled, uh I just got shivers just thinking about it.

Whats up david, I know I've been a lazy bastard and haven't done anything yet but I promise I'm going to get to it. I'm free this whole weekend so this might be my time to shine.
Get at me GridLock let me know how it went.

The only thing 3.1 did was send the devs back to the JailBreaking workbench. Apparently they aren't sure how to JB 3.1 which I would call the exact opposite of going open source.
If i see one more damn i**** port request for android, i going to make the worlds most devastating trojan that will infect every apple product even the shuffle. People wake up and smell the open sorce goodness
Hey don't attack my shuffle, that thing is great for working out, wait I use linux to load up my music, so I got no need to worry
shuffles are a wat of plastic. and wtf is up with the new nano having a camera
Wtf..... they got a camera, hope in breaks in seconds

yea its a cheapo little POS. i will never understand apple, they give the smallest ipod a camera and leave ipodtouch users without it.... weird... i guess i do understand it. its a plot to make money... greedy little basterds
hate it or love it apple is good at what they do. something to ponder is if android become as ubber cool to everyone and they mama would we find new phones and **** talk everyone for using droid?
we did it glock, we mufuckin got a thread closed. run smack yo mama, get ahold of supreme tell him the good news. we official now lol.
I got android for that fact that is was linux based, not because of the style or specs but for the os. I am not one to try and fit in
yea i was just making a statement, i mean really the iphone/ipod touch os is linux/unix based yoiu know? but i dont wanna get into the apple bs anyway im celebrating, we closed a thread, drink somethin off the top shelf tonight.
It got closed right as I was gonna tell you that david forgot to add it in the guide but I have read on some dodgey sites that if you have previously bricked a g1 than it is to counteract the breaking of a mirror by a bowling ball at the bottom of a lake
Codani, this is our second thread closed, remember g1bicked's g1 f$#%ed up thread
Not tonight I have a feeling I will be moonlighting as captain save-a-hoe tonight plus it's raining, gonna try to make it a quiet night, but tomorrow, tomorrow night I am getting hammered
I musta missed the closing of said thread.
Well I was hacking my friends G1 yesterday, and noticed on firmware like 1.1 or RC29/30, booting up took SERIOUSLY a short amount of time... Obviously roms advanced since then, hell I am running 1.6 Donut now.. But what is it EXACTLY that's making booting up to slow down?
Wow, I am waste my breath answering this
It's because there is more to load up than the basic system, of course it takes longer
Put vista on a comptuer that was meant for xp and you would notice the same thing
Disregard my post lol
I didnt realize i was in Q&A

Our hijacking got hijacked.
Yeah, it's like we weren't even here at all, I guess mikey doen't wanna seem like he let our hijacking intact and that it is ok
Yeah, it's like we weren't even here at all, I guess mikey doen't wanna seem like he let our hijacking intact and that it is ok? I still want that mod button though
Check out the Replacement G1 cover thread or something like that, its a few threads down.
I can live with it. He owes us though, 1 week mod power.
Are you 2 "clowns" done. lol
I can show both of you what that mod button allows me to do
Wanna see?
I don't think it's in my best interest to see what that button does
You don't wanna do that Mikey, we bring joy to the forum. Plus we are doing what noone else has been able to do, lower the stupid question threads. I know you find humor in what we do or we would of been banned about a 4 days ago.
Didn't anyone ever tell you not to poke a sleeping tiger, codani, think we might want to move along
Har......Har......Har......
I was in Africa once and I poked a tiger and the sob bit my finger off, I beat him with some car batteries though and got it back. Doctors down there sucked though and put it on backwards so it is a pain to type now.
Man what a weekend. I've been working my ass off trying to become a better criminal and almost got caught this weekend. I'm slipping. I'm making mistakes I would have never made before. Like last night. I didn't scout the house correctly. Turns out there was a dog! The thing started barking and then woke up the owner.
Here's the thing I couldn't believe. The guy left the back door open! Wow. I was able to just get right in and get right out.
Anyways, on to the reason I've made this thread. Are there some good criminal apps? I want something like a watch out app. It would let me know when people are moving around me. Also I'd like an app that just gave general tips when you get in to sticky situations in someones house.
I'm beginning to research into all this as we speak but this is unfamiliar territory for me. I'm a tech Guy like you but criminal activity has never been an interest till now. If you have anything to offer as far as what to get, what to do, and what not to do it will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
No one is going to help you.
Yes I understand that this is a joke.
