Does that mean it will wipe it clean to original state vs RESTORE SETTINGS??

Sorry for all the questions, I don't have a vast experience with my N9 as most of you.

Thanks!

Tip: Read the information (i) icons next to options to understand them better...

Anyway, Clear Device is starting afresh while Restore Settings is simply resetting some tweaks and keeping your personal data...

If you really want to get rid of everything under the sun and start anew do Clear Device...


Just a side note to others: "Clear Device" does exactly what "Restore Settings" does, but also deletes some personal files.

However, most tweaks done by N9QuickTweak still remain even after you choose "Clear Device". But the phone will now be bug free, if you had any bugs previously.

Also, some apps still remain.. and some are deleted. I dunno how or why, but I tried clear and restore options recently, and got those results.

So, "Clear Device" does NOT mean "hard format".. it's just clearing the settings, files, some bugs and stuff, apparently. If you really wanna "format" or "start fresh", you'll have to flash it. Keep that in mind while using N9QuickTweak.

If you don't want to flash, or if you're a n00b, then read Schturman's PDF file very carefully. It's there for a purpose.
