Android downgrade - Philips V526

A

AC Question

Hello. I would like to downgrade my android to an older version. It's really slow and apps crash sometimes and I had enough of it.

My android version is lollipop (5.0.0) and I want to downgrade to kitkat (4.4.4)

My phone is Philips v526

---------
I checked on the internet for some tutorials, but I couldn't find a tutorial that works with anyphone or with my phone

Is there someone who can help me? Please!

Thank you!

You can't downgrade, since there's nothing to downgrade TO. (The 4.4.4 OS was replaced with the 5.0 OS, you can't pick pieces out f it and replace them with pieces from 4.4.4.)

You have to back up the entire device (because this will wipe everything on it) - see Backing up an Android Device, then flash a 4.4.4 Android ROM to it. Once that works, restore all the apps, files, pics, etc. (You probably won't find anything on that particular phone because it's not popular, so no developers have bought one to pull ROMs out of. [There's not a single entry for it on XDA, and that normally means there's no information on it.])
