Lets put it to a vote! Which is the best stock firmware to use. I was actually happy on 1.2.6 and upgraded to 1.8.3. Can i downgrade if i upgrade using pudding 2.3.4? I find so many threads saying yes and no.
Version: 4.5.91 - Downgradable or not?
Version: 1.2.6
Version: 1.5.2
Version: 1.5.7
Version: 1.8.3
I have tried only 1.2.6 and 1.8.3, i seemded to have better battery on 1.2.6, but slightly better signal on 1.8.3 which is the reason i switched, but didnt have issues with calls on 1.2.6 until i flashed again so i may just need to do a factory wipe. I am rooted, custom boot logo, BL unlocked, sideloading enabled, CWM recovery, custom boot animation, and have the radio files ready to be flashed if the signal/radio is better on 2.3.4.
After voting if you please could post why you like that version and if you voted for multiple versions please post why and which ones. Thank you.
