Root factory reset after root okay?

[someguy1984]

I have the bonsai rom on my phone and I wanted to do a factory reset to get rid of crap. It will be like a normal reset as if I never rooted right? I don't want to have to put the rom on again or anything ...

You'll still be rooted.

Make sure you have an EXT4 based ROM on your SD card and ready to use in case it wipes the ROM (IIRC it will and you won't be able to boot into a ROM without reflashing a ROM).

yea its fine the root stuff is in system, reset wipes out the data sections leaving it safe and sound

I still want to be rooted, I love bonsai!!! I just want to do the factory reset option on the phone to wipe all the pointless apps I've downloaded, lol. I just want to make sure if I click reset my phone will turn back on, lol!

This is my theory.

Ever since I bought the phone I've paid attention to internal storage. For some reason when the phone gets below 340ish it runs sluggish. But after a reset it wipes everything and you end up with around 420. I barely put any apps on my phone so it runs quick. Sometimes I'll download random stuff to try it, but then delete it. Regardles, if you download something then delete it, the internal storage will get lower. Over time with random browsing cookies/cache build up. I try deleting it, but my internal number never gets were it should be. So, I've always done a factory reset to get it where I like it

It's weird, but somehow true. I've done benchmark tests with over 400 internal storage and tests with 340 internal storage and the phone always gets lower results with less storage. I'm not sure why this is, but I know it runs worse when the number gets lower...

By the way, yes I move my apps to the sd card. You can't do this with all of them though.

Although, since my phone has been rooted with bonsai it seems to not have slowed down much at all. I'm just curious if a reset will make a difference.

Hopefully this all made sense, lol. Its a mental thing.

It will to a degree. Alot of times when you flash a rom it doesn't always take the way it should so you start accumulating errors, and the same can be said about apps as well. Thats why they say its better to take the extra time to reinstall everything manually after flashing because you never know what has been corrupted so when you use a nandroid or use titanium or what ever and you had issues before odds are you will have issues again because that corruption has just been reintroduced back into the scenario then the whole roller coaster of events just starts all over again. I flash back to stock every now and then just to wipe the slate clean and then do a nandroid so i have a solid background to go from just in case i need it. I also use appmonster to reinstall my apps, not from sd card but from market links. Takes a little longer but far less headaches imo.
