I've had my Hero for a little over a week and on day 1 I found this forum and rooted. Ever since I've tried just about every 2.1 based ROM on the forums. Thanks XDA for creating a monster. After a year of having 3 phones I wasn't ever happy with I have probably my keeper. Android is just so much better.

Sounds like you already found your support group
The downside though is we are also enablers
Hi, my name is Craig and I'm a flashaholic......LOL
You have definitely found the best place for Hero Tech and modification! Welcome to the group!
Hi Craig. My name is Matt and I have been flashing for 6 months. It has taken up my life lately and I have ignored important things such as Call of Duty. Every time I try to quit I have a relapse and flash again. I feel like I will never want to stop... I am addicted to flashing. I am a flashaholic.
So do we even want a 12 step program or do we al lhave a healthy addiction?

If what we're doing is wrong then I don't wanna be right
In all seriousness it is a delicate balance, it's a healthy and productive hobby but I could easily spend 40 a week working on my phone instead of my job...
My name is Raul and im a flashaholic. I've only had the phone for one month and my girlfriend hates it. And hates me as well. But this overclocking is making up for my loss

My fixes for ROMS is gettin so bad I'm buying multiple different phones in back alleys and loading up a different load on each one. It HURTS MAN!
While i flash alot. nowhere near as bad when i was a wm user..my wife always was yelling.. when is your phone ever gonna be fixed,lol at least with android all the roms pretty much work great.. so not as much time wasted installing this or that as with wm..
hi im chris and im def an addict for android. was not sure about rooting at first but always checked out latest roms until i finally got the nerve and did it and im hooked line and sinker rom and electronics junkie 4 life....
Hi my name is Anony, and I'm a flashaholic.
It all started when I was looking for a way to tether, and stumbled across the Race Condition. After a week of using it, I thought to myself "There has to be a better way!" Finally, after talking to the right google search boxes, I stumbled across XDA. First it started with Fresh ROM 1.0. Then Fresh 1.1. Then the Dev 2.1 builds. Over to Aloysius 1.0. Then to DamageControl. Then here I am, sitting pretty on Toast's sauce. Thinking about going back to DC 2.07.2 though. I miss my camera :[.
The real question is how many times can I flash this thing before the flash rom wears out!
Hi I'm Bert,
I'm addicted to Flashing ROMs/Dev-Rom testing on my HTC Hero. I have been doing this since Flipz introduced me to Freshhh... Now I can't remember what life is without flashing... I have lost much sleep and can not wait for my next 'fix'. I know I have a problem because my wife is always complaining to me also...
P.S. The 'F5' key on my keyboard is un-readable now all the paint has worn off, I'm scared that pretty soon I know it will have a hole right through it...

Do what I did with mine. Get her a Hero, then you get twice the flashing.
You can't lie to me! This is more like a den of enablers than a 12-step support group. I bet all you addicts have 2 Windows open; this one, and a second with the fresh toast thread open, so that you have something to read while you wait for the updated sauce.
Don't get me wrong, I'm right there with you....I'm just saying. Besides, rehab is for quitters.

Well my trusty hero which I only had for a a couple of months bit the big one yesterday. I went to the Sprint Store to get another one and all they had in stock for Android was a Moment.
So I guess I won't be around here as much.
This community despite some squabbles is incredible. I've enjoyed and appreciated my time here and the help I got.
The moment isn't a bad phone, I just pretend I'm running DarchDroid.
With a keyboard.

Well we're gonna miss ya for sure! Hope you can deal with the Moment until you get our EVO (providing that is what you're going to next ) I know we'll see you around......
.....Now you should root the moment and port all our goodness to them You'll be a hero......haha.
The Moment was rooted before the official 2.1 was released. They have it easy. An earlier version of the Samsung software updater let you run unsigned tarballs. So you just use that to install a custom recovery and off you go.
btw, great reference for the title. was one of my favorite books WAAYYY before the movie, they did a HORRIBLE job with Zaphod
good luck you going to sdx?
I prefer to pretend that movie never happened.
Either of them.
Going to miss you gunnyman both here and Android central.. be well.

Argh I miss my Hero already. The themes, the ports of different roms. Just don't happen over there in SDX Land. Someone is working on a Sens UI port though. On the upside. Live Wallpapers work perfectly and so does the 3d gallery at the same time.

So wait they just gave you a moment instead, no questions asked? Im gonna try this today as my hero has been acting up and if i get a replacement it would be my 4th phone already. Sprint told me they hardly ever give you a different model phone.
Some of you may Know me, some of you Don't..
Just thought I'd say hello & make a Quick Post to let everyone know I'll Have the Vibrant soon & Hoping I can Add to the Community, along with Barakinflorida..
Currently I'm $70 away from getting my Phone, So hope to see everyone soon in the Dev. Threads...
Until then, Happy Developing

I've actually been using my Vibrant as my primary phone and loving it, Never thought I would like it as much as my Nexus one. Can't wait for Froyo..Video is real good for a phone.

Awesome! The only thing I hear bad about the Phone is Battery, but I can live with that small problem
My battery has been good I get at least a whole day with medium to heavy use.

Even better, that so far has been the only Complaint I've heard from other Vibrant owner's, so if it can make it a Day I'm happy with it
Im afraid my hero is done :/ or at least the battery. It was getting really hot there for awhile, then just.. Stopped charging :/ wouldn't turn of after awhile then just stopped doing anything all together. Its sad to see such an amazing phone just die after so long, i had it since donut days, all the way to gingerbread. Such an amazing phone, but for now, im using a optimus s until i can get the nexus s. I will with out a doubt stay in touch with the freaking amazing community, ive never known such a great group of folks. But for now, adieu all, ill check back in every so often to see how much more the hero is growing! Thank you all for the amazing journey

What's up guys...Just thought I'd drop a line and let you know I'm excited to finally have an Evo. Unfortunately it's the 2.3.3 that I bought from a buddy on the cheap in mint condition so I didn't have to use an upgrade.
Had rooted and flashed the hell out of moment nonstop so I'm anxious to see the exploit soon for 4.24. I've been on the XDA community for a while now just reading as SDX would love to port over themes that you guys had over here.
Anyways, thanks for the knowledge I've already seen from the users in this community just by reading through so many threads you guys have put up.
Welcome. Former Moment owner here as well, also stuck with 2.3.3.

Sucks doesn't it? Man, I will say this, the devs for the Moment were awesome and they made the Moment 10x what it should it have been. That being said though, even a stock GB Evo kicks the **** out of it that's for sure.
But I loved my Moment strictly because of the guys at SDX and can't wait for the devs here to kick the door open on 4.24 so we can start playing again.
I agree. I enjoyed the Moment a lot but traded it toward this one when I was vacationing in Florida last month and could not get a gps lock to save my life. The last ROM I ran was Keylime. I see they ported a new 2.2 update for the Transform.
I had the worst luck with the moment. I went through three cuz theyre aweful phones with tons of glitches. Then they said they discontinued the moment so i got the intercept. Just as bad. Now im here with my wonderful evo

Fellow Moment owner/Dev here, too! Matter of fact, my old Moment just got sold by the guy I sold it to the other day, so it's still kicking. Most under appreciated phone ever.
It sucks you guys just coming onboard with the Evo are handcuffed with out root yet, but patience will prevail! And once you get it unlocked, be ready for a whole new world, compared to the Moment. Fortunately, a stock Evo is a hell of a lot better looking than a stock Moment!

Seriously? I think it's one of the worst I've owned. I'd rather have my TouchPro2. In fact, for a while I had both and often left the moment at home.
This thread brings a tear to my eyes. You mean, OP, that you actually took the time to read some of the information in our forums?
Hopefully we get more users like you in time. Welcome!

The Moment was hit or miss, but by under appreciated, think of any other phone that's been off the market for a year, and people are still actively dev'ing on it. I never had probs with mine. It was always good.

I have to agree. I love my Moment, it was just getting a little long in tooth. My son is currently using with DC13s ROM. The Evo is an upgrade though.
And OP, welcome to the Evo world. Be careful though. The otaku here are worse than the Apple fanboys.
Hell, I was one of the fortunate ones that had a Moment that didn't give me any issues. The only real issue I ran into was moving to 2.2 EB and losing my GPS capabilities. GPS always worked perfect when on 2.1 but that jump to 2.2 always killed my GPS period.
HipKat, I remember seeing you all over the SDX boards and there are thousands of your posts that helped me with my Moment, so many thanks for that.
GitHub, I remember seeing you on SDX as well and yes, I like to lurk and read before I post anything on boards. That being said, I knew the unfortunate circumstance of jumping to a 4.24 EVO even before I bought it, but as stated earlier, even a stock EVO is better than the maxed out Moment. But you DEVs over there at SDX made that phone astounding compared to what it was stock.
I'm just sitting like everyone else waiting for the geniuses to crack this 2.3.3 EVO....in due time.
TBH, I flashed back to my Stock/Rooted nandroid the other day, and it's not so bad, really. Of course, I was only there for a few mins to clear my GPS before flashing MIUI! lol
Glad I helped people out over there. Like here, I jumped in the pool headfirst!
Ditttto. Former moment here man name was Sgtstew76 over yonder at sdx. Man welcome over bro, GREAT PEEPS HERE IF you search before posting lmmfao.....
Hey are u rooted on that thing? Oh no...... well sit back and hold yer breath like the REST OF US......
I am still over at SDX but use the handle DarkPhoenix. It was already taken here it seems, so I used my secondary handle.
