Is there an easy way to go back to 4.4 from 5.0? I updated about a week ago and in not really a fan. It's buggy, I don't like how the new lock screen works with the pattern unlock, video playback ducks, notifications suck, etc.

So is there an easy way to go back or do I have to do the whole wipe my phone thing and install a fresh 4.4?

 

Edit:

device is Nexus 5

As of right now there is only the factory images if it's a Nexus device, which will require wiping and installing fresh 4.4. On other devices it will depend on which device in particular

What device?

 

sorry, Nexus 5.  OP updated

 

Download the 4.4 factory image for your phone (hammerhead) and flash it in the recovery or adb

 

are there instructions for dummies somewhere for this kinda thing?
