Ofcourse a downgrade is possible *Maybe do a little bit more research*
If your phone is rooted and has a Custom Recovery you could search for an android 2.2 rom for your phone, But if the phone didn't release with android 2.2 or lower it isn't possible.

Means if the oldest version of Android the phone was released / sold with --> you can't install a older rom bacause it doesn't exist and no one would ever starting develop a android version lower then the first stock rom the phone ever had!
Why do you want to install Android 2.2???

this phone released with android 2.3.5 then i think i cant put 2.2 .
this phone net speed is too slow and battery drain quickly when net browsing. that wise i thought to go to an old android version to solve above problems.

Not really. 2.3.5 performance is better than 2.2 as far as i know. Phone was released with 2.2 first.
There is a custom Jellybean rom available. I'd suggest trying it and UNINSTALL all non needed crap and deactivate non needed background processes. Especially google's apps love to drain your battery. Also Jellybean support virtual memory. 256MB is pretty low, so setting up the Jellybean rom may help. You can go back to stock at any time flashing the stock firmware.

Rom= running system. i.e. windows or linux
Firmware= version. i.e. windows 7 or xp,etc.
I don't know what your asking in your second question.

Sorry, but...
So, what's baseband?
For example, for my phone the Latest SE firmware are:
2.1.1.A.0.6 / 2.1.1.C.0.0
and from that difference, the baseband changes...
So, using Your example may be first xp and second vista?
But where I can read what's are the difference between this two ones?
Is always suggested to change it, anytime a new one release's deployed?
And baseband? How is useful?
Thanks.

Hi
When a rom is based on XXX, does it mean I have to download and install XXX first or is it included in the rom ?
For exemple http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506752
"Based on stock 2.3.6 Dxkt5"
This is the Asian 2.3.6 for Samsung Galaxy Ace.
I'm french and using european 2.3.6. (XWKT7) (not yet, but downloading. 2.3.4 atm)
Can I install the OmegaRom? And how?
Thanks

Difference between link ROM and firmware at Samsung Updates
Hello,
I am trying to revert back from the latest Jelly Bean update 4.1.1 to stock Samsung ICS. I was going to go through the ROM provided via XDA along with ODIN, but then I checked the Samsung Updates website, and the firmware they provide for the phone is much larger then the one you provided.
I am confused about:
1- what is the difference between the ROM and the firmware.
2- if there isn't any difference why is the one at Samsung Updates much larger then the one linked to here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737855&highlight=stock+rom
3- If there is a difference how does one install firmware rather than ROMs.
4- is there a way to disable automatic updates once the ICS firmware or ROM is installed on the phone?
Thank you very much in advance,
-Z

On xda interchangable words firmware is called the rom.

Sam up dates stock Samsung firmware or a stock rom.
4- is there a way to disable automatic updates once the ICS firmware or ROM is installed on the phone?
Yes your settings .
Its normal to look in your phones forum for firmware advice .

Hi!
After flashing ZIP with latest P500 recovery from Jenkins CM server I have serious problem.
I cannot enter recovery or fastboot, computer doesn't see any device connected. After turning on the phone I've got LG logo and then a brand new CM logo. Nothing else.
I was thinking about flashing by LG tools, but - as I said - PC doesn't see any device.
What can I do? Are there any keys combinations to enter fastboot/recovery anyway? I've tried Home+Vol-+Power without success.
PS: I'll try emergency mode in few minutes, it must work!
PS2: Flashing with KDZ updater + emergency mode worked!
a little off-topic question: should I have old or new baseband to use CM10.1 nightlies?
You must have new baseband - v20x to use any custom rom based on GB 2.3.3 and above
Means,
Old baseband - v10x
New baseband - v20x
Old baseband roms based on v10x baseband version.
New baseband roms based on v20x baseband version.eg.all ics +jb and some Gb roms.
Hope you understand this and don't forget to hit thanks if i helped you!
@Taranis, even if you are on old base band you can still flash cm10.1 (or any other new roms) by flashing the "old bb fix" after flashing the rom.

Hi guys,
I flashed CM10.1 successfully! It works quite good
My sister now can use the latest version of Android

Very good
OT:
It isn't good idea to flash a girl's phone with latest version of Android.
They won't notice it in any way. They can't even differentiate between froyo and gb. Or between Ics and jellybean.
Rather than being happy with latest version of Android she will complain of having low battery life...

I was on Gingerbread 2.3.3 for a day or two before my LG P500 got bricked and I agree the battery life drained out very quick. Does anyone know if there is a list of differences between 2.3 and 2.2?
Also, I'm planning of getting another LG P500 but a used one of course, anyone know roughly how much is worth paying for one? Ty.

you are right, the best android rom for girls is the stock one non rooted, having latest android on her phone will give you headache, but... if the girl is an android geek the latest version is the right one and that supose that she can do it herself
My dad has a Droid Razr Maxx HD and I currently have the bootloader unlocked and a custom Recovery and Rom on there.
He keeps having problems with whatever ROM I put on (forgot by now) and I'd like to put him back to stock or a ROM that based on stock system.
What version of Android is stock on now? I read that they will be rolling out a 4.4 upgrade sometime soon.
Any advice on which ROM to use or how to restore to stock?
Thanks

If you had to choose a 4.4.2 ROM, which would you choose?
Also, what version of RSDLite?

I am partial to CyanogenMod myself. I think CM 11 is at a point now you could use it daily. They have an "M" build out there for it currently which they consider as stable as can be at the time and they allow bug reports on it.
One thing to take into consideration about these roms is they are all using the drivers from the 4.1.2 build thats official for the phone. All of them are waiting on the 4.4.2 update being released to have current Android 4.4 drivers tested to work for the device.
In a nutshell expect some sort of buggyness on roms but especially with custom roms on devices that are using old 4.1 based drivers.
Thanks again. I'll stick with Stock for my dad. I told him to get the HTC One M8 since he can't get the Nexus 5 for Verizon.
He'll be happy soon enough!
No development on the firmware front over the 4.4.4 update still,android 5.0 is right round the corner,samsung has not made any improvements in its ui/performance since releasing the phone.
now available on the American base SamMobile 4.4.4 , so this will be bound to update other countries

You will lost all your settings, app data, phone book and such, because you have to full-wipe your phone. BUT you can use some apps to transfer the data. TitaniumBackup and/or Helium Backup can save and restore your apps and/or app data. With MyAppList you can easily install a list of apps. The phonebook is stored on google or sync it with apps like Contacts Backup & Restore. SMS and Call logs you can save with SMSBackup+. The settings are the only on, that will be lost. There are many apps to transfer your data, when you flash a rom.
When you really want to install a custom rom then search for flash guides and think about that you lost your warranty. Think about that carefully.

You will need to back them up using titanium backup or another application. In terms of your phonebook you should sync you contacts to your gmail. It makes it easier to manage.

The truth is Samsung is very fast when it comes to releasing or selling new devices or gadgets. But to slow when it comes to updating new firmware.

Hi
I just got myself this phone, I would like to know which software (android/emui) version is the best to run? In terms of minimum amount of lags/bugs, best battery management. I do not mind not having the lastest features as I only use my phone to call/text/browseinet/watch videos.
my phone version is the H60-L04V100R001C00B109SP01.
Thanks guys for your help.
Then I would not upgrade. The Android 4.4 the phone comes with is more likely your best option.

I know what cyanogenmod is but I don't like it, also I do not want to root or flash custom roms.
thanks for your advice tho
I'd say upgrade to the last KitKat ROM released for your model and stick to it maybe until Marshmallow stable becomes a thing. I wanted to downgrade to KitKat after getting Lollipop as in my opinion it was much better but just couldn't be bothered enough to actually downgrade to be honest.
