my TCL P8M updated from Android 9 to 11, since then i noticed a big performance drop.
- apps too slow
- subtitles not showing in local video
- frame drop when casting video so i'm wondering if there any chance to downgrade to my previous fimware (Android 9).
Maybe. You would have to find a copy of the firmware and then know how to get the device to boot that. I expect you might want to check out xda-developers.com and see if anyone has already gathered the files and instructions.
