Hey,

After running the official 2.0 for a while, i would like to downgrade back to the latest 1.08 version. Reasons:

- camera is much slower (sometimes i'm hit with a 5 sec delay before a photo is taken)
- browser seems to crash more often than on 1.08
- browser seems to be slower than on 1.08
- wifi seems more fiddly than 1.08 -- in hotels i have had more problems connecting with 2.0 than compared to 1.08

And since that is the stuff i use the most, i don't really care for the other things 2.0 gives me.

I already did a full wipe, reinstalling the OS using the BB Desktop software - no luck. the same issues. It's probably another piece of software that i got installed -- but i have the same apps installed as i had on the 1.08 version, and stuff just worked.

Since i don't need a native email client, calendar and other stuff, i see now that i was perfectly ok staying on 1.08

Now, i read up on older threads, but all are dealing with going from 2.0 beta back to 1.08 - and the latest Dingleberry will only downgrade me to an older 2.0 version, so that i can root it. And that's not what i need.

Is there a way to downgrade from the official 2.0 to the latest 1.08 version?

have to wait for new OS 2.0 exploit

I think you will have to ask specifically in the Dingleberry or Rooting forum. I know there have been discussions of a "local web server" that fakes out DM but maybe that is what you have already researched.

I thought most had found the camera less laggy but I don't use it often enough or don't recall.

Good luck with your pursuit.

I hope you're able to work it out. I have had the opposite result with all of your issues. As posted by many, my camera is actually faster, my browser is snappier and my wifi hasn't changed. I didn't have issues before and it's remained stable and good connectivity.
Good luck

Wifi and bluetooth perform much better with 2.0 than before for me.

Not possible. There is no way to downgrade from official 2.0. RIM got smart and locked it down with a RIM signed/hashed fingerprint file for authentication. Sorry.
