No. That thread on reverting is old. There is no need to revert. It does have les storage ROM space but it doesn't make much difference. Use buildOS. You would only be able to use the old pre-made roms with an apache with bootloader 1.00 or 1.02 not even the 2.xx series.

My old apache had 2.05 and I still cooked up a few roms with stuff as big as Manila-2d, skyfire, games, office, and some other things. Just start with very little and keep adding on.

Don't bother yourself with unnecessary troubles.

You don't flash older bootloaders. You flash ROMs.

You didn't change your bootloader. You just reverted to OEM ROM. Glad it's working.
