    How can I regress from Lollipop to KitKat?

    Re: how can you regress from lollipop to kitkat? OK K-9 installed but if I understand correctly it requires the Gmail app to synchronize contacts. Gmail is stopped on the Nexus 10. Reboots do not fix it so I guess its broken. Anyone know how to get K-9 access to contacts? Thanks.

    Please forgive if this is the wrong forum. Some avi video files will not play on N 7 (12). Does any one know what the requirements are? A link perhaps? There are plenty of windows video converters that allow most any parameter to be tweaked so it should be easy enough to get them compatible...
