well as you can see in my header im a die hard windows mobile user (fan boy to some). with that comes the need to to tweak my device to the fullest, but the down side to that is im trying all the beta roms tweaks and applications. Ive been currently trying all the touch flo 3d 2 roms as well as the windows 6.5 roms that are being cooked. but another down fall to trying the newest and greatest is that they can be very unstable.
so last night i flashed a touch pro rom that was focused around using the new touch flo 3d 2 ui. the rom was very fast and has some nice touches. i flashed the rom and setup up my phone to my liking. after i set it up i did a soft rest then when it went to reboot it froze on the on the start up screen, no biggie i thought it happens some times bad flash corrupt file here or there so i did a hardrest and set it up again. once more did a softrest and it booted fine i charged it and went to sleep. so today i went to work the device seemed fine surfed the web and sent some emails out fine did a few tweets ( follow me at twitter.com/cjmedina) but for some reason it froze or i updated a application and it asked me to rest well when i did it, it got stuck on the start up image again. mind you this was at 745 am 15 mins before work starts and i didnt have a computer in sight. so what i did was a hardrest via the the 3 finger combo and got it up and running again but this time i was able to use the web ( iris ) and was able to download another rom to my memory card and flash it from my micro sd (transflash for us old people)
so my point is i was able to fix a major issue with out having to hook it up to a computer , it took less than 15 mins to flash a new rom . that not a easy thing to do with other mobile os. ya there is gonna be people that say its because winmo sucks that you had to go thru that, but im pointing out the fact that you can do things with winmo that you couldnt with other os. YES other os crash as well and require you hook up to a pc/mac to get it running again
