How to "reset the phone"

 

Hey,

The system settings design has a section for reset options:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemSettings#A.2BIBw-Reset_Phone.2BIB0-

That includes 3 options

- reset launcher/home screen: those are unity options and should be as simple as resetting some gsettings key

- reset all system settings: I'm not sure yet how we are going to do that one, since the settings are not reality regrouped in one location/overlay than we can easily wipe out ... that requires some extra thinking

- erase & reset everything: that's the one I'm sending this email about. Loïc suggested that the full reset should probably be done in recovery mode, and that it might be close enough from things the system image updates are doing ... would it make sense to add that feature to the same codebase if that's the case?


Thanks,
Sebastien Bacher
