Title: How to downgrade from beta version to stable
Post by: pyler on July 27, 2014, 06:50:10 pm

I read some questions about "how to downgrade from beta to stable" here, on forum. So what you can do?

Answer: backup app settings, uninstall beta, install stable, restore settings (slow but probably best method for all people)

But there are faster methods...

If your device is not rooted, you can:
* get stable APK and install it using adb. Command is "adb shell pm install -r -d stable.apk" (fast only if you are familiar with adb)

If your device is rooted, you can:
* download AppDowner (download (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2871112&d=1406377483)), run it, select stable APK, press Install APK button (fast method)

Remember, you don't have to downgrade since Kostya always backport fixes from stable to beta.

Use this only if there are some terrible bugs in version you use.

I used the first method, time to do 4 minutes max.

Thank you Pyler, it's great to see you covering this.

As a reminder, beta versions 1.4.1-XXX-betaZZZ have all the changes from 1.4.0.XXX (where XXX is some version number).

Mercurial makes it really easy to merge those changes :)
