It’s a headache when you want to flash a brand new ROM, and you have to say goodbye to your current one and do all the process of wiping the cache and installing the new one. And if there’re bugs in the newly installed ROM, then again repeat that tedious process and go back to the stock one.
However, this overhead can be reduced to a great extent, if you have the MultiROM manager installed on your handset, which makes switching between multiple ROMs an immediate task. You can select between various ROMs at the time of boot; thus now you don’t have to get rid of your old ROM, saving you a lot of time.
