Downgrading my Android phone custom rom. I installed it with PixelOS 18 Feb 25 build. All was good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In June, I upgraded to the last build for Android 15, 10 Apr 25. After some days, I noticed that I keep missing WhatsApp calls. Some apps eg Forest with power savings disabled was sleeping. Runkeeper is lagging when tracking my runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new version with its aggressive power savings may not be a good thing and I have decided to down grade to the older Feb version. The rule of thumb doing this is dirty flash upgrade, but clean flash downgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought I try an experiment with dirty flash downgrade. Unfortunately, it would not boot. Clearing the cache gave the same result. In the end, I have to clean flash to get it to boot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nice things about the 10 Apr build is the combined quick setting buttons for Do Not Disturb in the Modes button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update 23 Aug 25<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the downgrade, I noticed when 2 SIMS are inserted, I can’t get data. In JB, TPG performance was unstable. I have to use my Poco M3 as a Wifi hotspot. A real buzz kill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TPG’s APN was named wrongly. It was set as SIMBA instead of TPG. Perhaps this was the cause of the performance issues. The no data when 2 SIMs was a user problem, me. The slide to enable Mobile data doesn’t work for dual SIMs, I have to scroll down to “Your Primary SIMs” to select the Mobile data and choose which SIM to use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
