Android 12 is genuinely the worst os update i've ever seen. Not only does it look ugly but it just makes everything HARDER for no reason. Why

[Mixture]

This update is the worst in android history I'm going back to 11.

I hate android 12 with a passion. It's completely ruined the experience of my Pixel 4a. They didn't even bother to detail the UI changes in the menu that pops up before update. Had I known the UI was going to change so drastically, I would've stayed on 11

Just had 12 pushed on my Pixel 5 and it completely ruined the experience. So glad I can go back to 11 using this method.

I wanna cry, why did I do this update.... oh my god

Kind of important: At 3:55 you mention re entering 'fastboot flashing unlock' for the final time to lock the bootloader, but I believe you meant to say 'fastboot flashing lock'. I guess it's obvious, but it had me puzzled for a bit haha

Lifesaver my man, thanks so much. Android 11 was reasonably clean, 12 was an absolute mess. Make sure to turn off 'automatic updates' in developer tools as well...

Android 12 is such a UI piece of trash. Why are the icons SO HUGE? I'm not 80 yrs old. I don't need these quarter size icons. What Android 11 had worked just fine and was far more efficient.

I upgraded my phone to the public release of 12 and wow what a let down. Massive battery drain, my games freeze up while I play them, and many subtle features that I liked in 11 were changed for the worse. I don't want to wipe my phone to downgrade. Very disappointed.

Beta has been an absolute mess for me on my Pixel 5. I'd say the majority of my apps crash on launch.

[Elmo]

I've learned never to accept an update to a new OS without thoroughly reviewing it first. Usually I do but I guess I got comfortable. What a mistake. Android 12 is so bad in so many ways. I've tried but I am tired of the issues. Going back to 11 where life was better. Thanks for this guide!

Pixel just forced this on me so thanks for posting this video but A.Y.F.K.?! Does anyone else think there should be a class action suit against Google to stop them dictating how our lives look?

[jonjaaay]

Thank you for this. Android 12, with regards to the user experience and aesthetics, has taken a step back in the wrong direction. Android 11 was as polished as it could get and 12 absolutely ruined that progress.

I was so excited to install Android 12 on my Pixel 3 immediately without doing homework on how it would actually perform or look. What a huge mistake. Thankfully this method allowed me to roll back.

[GChris-nyfp]

This really helped, thanks.

Something not mentioned, in case anyone else gets stuck like I did, if the bootloader says locked type "fastboot flashing unlock" to unlock it and proceed.

[supitsme]

The title is wrong it should say how to upgrade from 12 to 11

[Alex-rfwu]

If any of you wondering about going back from stable android 12 to 11, yes it works like a charm.

[asahifactory]

thank you so much for this guide. I upgraded my pixel 5a to 12 and hated it. now I have my 11 back!!

[bryanmorand]

You missed the part about to install the Google Driver which is very IMPORTANT.

[Orisaar]

Great tuturial. Left my P5 with 12 but downgarded my 4XL to 11. Hopefully battery life will be better...

[mariadanielasorio]

Wtf! When my phone realme C30 successfully updated in android 12, all of my photos 1, 000+ was not in my gallery anymore!! And it makes me cry a lot!
