Galaxy s2 operating system problem

[bodgit]

A few weeks ago I got an update message from samsung for an upgrade of the OS to 4.0.3 from my previous Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread.
I absolutley hate this new system and after asking tesco to reinstall the older version Im told it cant be done.
Anyone know a way to revert my phone back to as it was before.

I'm still waiting for T Mobile to upgrade mine to Gingerbread! I'm assuming you've tried factory reset

Once the OS is installed it resets to that. I just got it back from tesco repair centre and specifically asked them to reinstall my old OS system but they told me it cant be done..
Got on the phone to samsung and they say "officially it cant be reversed" but maybe I should look online. Thats all he would say.
Previously you were able to delete single items from the google search history by pressing and holding the selected item and delete,but now the new google black stores the last 5 with no option to delete any single item from history. Its just annoying that you cant choose what to keep.

You need to root the phone and then install the Rom you want. Plenty of guides online.

Yep, get it rooted and try this rom:

Thanks for that info but after doing some reading it seems if I root it, it would void the warrenty and Its already been back twice in the last 6-7 weeks.
Before we proceed, it's important that we outline the risks involved here. Although in the case of the Galaxy S2 the rooting process is usually reversible, messing about with the inner-workings of your phone's software immediately invalidates your warranty. It may break your phone completely. CNET UK takes no responsibility for any harm that may befall your beloved handset as a consequence of you acting on the steps we've outlined below.
Looks like Im stuck with it.

Defeats the object I want to keep my favourites like oople in the list but this new os even lists your txts. Why do that when theres a call log for that. Its a mess. If you havent updated yet, trust me dont.
