Reverting to Gingerbread from ICS

[slim26]

I've been having some issues with constant reboots and phone signal strength after installing ICS. I have tried both methods (fastboot flashes and CWM flash) and still have the same problems.

Unfortunately, I'm a newbie, and was an idiot and did not create a backup.

I would like to be able to revert to the last stable official Gingerbread. Any recommendations on version to revert to? I'm been searching here for hours, and every time I think I find a good thread on how to do this, the links to the files are all dead.

Can someone please steer me in the right direction.

Also, again, I am willingly admitting that I'm an idiot for not making the backup in the first place. I saw that so many people were having no issues at all, so I assumed I would not either.

Thanks.

I recommend you the ROMs NottachTrix, it has Aroma installer and lets you configure it to your own taste. Guess this one is the best, if not you could go with a stock GB, search for fruitcakes (don't like them because the bloatware).
I'm assuming that you already have or know how to install a recovery. If it's not the case, let me know and I'll help you.

Thanks. I have CWM loaded so I shouldn't have an issue.

I think I would have the best luck with a stock ROM for now. The problem is finding a stock unlocked ROM for GB that still has a valid link. 90% of the links I'm coming across here including fruitcakes are all dead links.

Thanks. I was able to restore back to GB, but unfortunately still have the same signal strength issues.
