I do flash a custom ROM because

[itman-ch]

I'm really curious about the reasons for flashing a cell-phone.

Recently a lot of people are flocking to xda with clearly no basic understanding about flashing in general.

Is it the coolness factor? Is it the "control-back"-thing? Flashaholics by any change?

Because Samsung wont give us 4.2.1 that's why CM10.1

Because even without any and all programing knowledge i can learn how my phone works, and follow the process of adapting a rom to a phone, and in the worst case fix it myself. Because with a custom rom, you always know what and why is not working (assuming you know how to use a search button). Because of the ∞ options (was waiting for a chance to use this symbol). Personalized quick settings. Lockscreen weather. Undervolting. Backups (TB/CWM). better keyboard when longpressing "a". SMS popups. Designs. No bloatware. And last but not least the ability to laugh at damnsung. They want me to buy a new phone because my phone is supposed to be on ics and long since outdated, and here i am, running 4.2.1...

I get laughed at when i mention my flashing and phone-nerdness in general, so not the coolnessfactor.

I already did it on my Galaxy 3 and I want to get the best out of my phone.

Because it's there.

No hold on, that was climbing Everest.

Because I enjoy being disappointed on a daily basis and actually enjoy the process, if not the end result.

What I think I mean is that I like to tinker.

There are lot of things that you can get by flashing a custom rom than using a stock rom

Because I want features not present in stock rom.
