It all depends on if the code is backwards compatible with that level of Android. I wouldn't recommend going back to BTv2, because then things won't work well on the newer devices. According to the Android Dashboard (https://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html) only 7.4% of users are running 2.3.6. You're much better off targeting newer levels.
