Is there a way to undo an update and go back to prior version?

Is there a way to undo an update and go back to a previous version? I installed the latest version of 10.7.4 (?) on my iPhone (4s) but I hate it. I was warned by another user not to update. She said I would regret it. I should've listened.

1)The Icons are lighter in color with tiny print on them - resembling a bunch of light colored boxes without meaning.

2) I used to be able to double-click the home button, press-and-hold a running icon at the bottom and deselect all that were running to prolong my battery life, but I can't figure out how to do that now.

I am reluctant to update my iPad now. I think I will readjust my settings to make the updates "hidden".

iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.4

Unfortunately there isn't a downgrade path. However, to improve legibility go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn 'Larger Type' on and make adjustments there. Also you can turn the 'Bold Text' option on.

To close down apps, double-tap the Home button as before and any open apps will appear as a reduced sized window of the app. Stroke that window 'up' and the app will close down.
