Rom Flashing Question

---

does it matter if i flash my phones rom deleting the old one..

basicly...


If i change the rom 1x - 10,000x will the phone still run the same or does it eat up memory and force phone to lag

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but I will attempt to answer what I understood.

I would recommend a nandroid backup before flashing anything over the current rom. Especially stock.

I would also do a full wipe before flashing another rom.

Does this answer your question at all?

I asked..

Does it matter how many times you flash your phone if you wipe does it leave residual memory to eat up and lag your phone or does it not affect it at all

Oh yeah, that's a good question. Id like to know that myself seeing as how I flash mine about 20 times a day...lol

I believe it does when I went into recovery I clean not only the factory wipe but also the cache wipe but i'd be curious to know more

i have not ever noticed any issues with flashing multiple ROMs, as long as you are wiping then you should be fine and no residual issues will be found, if you choose not to wipe you will likely end up in a boot loop, or a "brick" as some call it, but those are fixable with a wipe and reflash. if someone wants to correct me then great something new i learned, but i flashed almost every ROM for the G1 and never had any issues so long as i wiped the phone
