The last with the tiled home screen (can't call it the "old" home screen as there were at least two older home screens) was 4.3.something. But, not all the firmware versions between 3.19.5761 and 4.4 were released for the Touch and most had different issues. 3.19.5761 is probably the best for the devices that it supports if you want to avoid the current home screen.

The Touch is three versions? A, B & C? I have the C, if Touch = N905C. Mine suffers from bad ghosting. Worst screen of all my ereaders, maybe it's faulty? Though not as bad as when I got it a few months back.
Not likely to be faulty, just the oldest type of e-ink screen and the most likely to show ghosting. I have an N905 (there was no "A") and the ghosting is bad compared to the other device. I think it is worse than when it was new, but, I am not sure.


As to firmware, I have been keeping my Touch up to date with only one issue. It seems to need two or three tries to connect to WiFi, and it can forget the network completely. I only use it to check things, so, that hasn't really worried. But, for firmware choice on it, I'd choose either 3.19.5761 or the latest available.
