To block undeleters it's sufficient to fill space with "generic" data then delete the file :)

As for removing the chip and using an external programmers, some indeed expose raw memory over the pins (MTD chips) and there's no reasonable way to wipe the hidden areas (well, assuming you want a device that still works - otherwise there's the Cobra 6 method), others have on-chip mappers (all SD cards including eMMC) which can have a TRIM command -- which however has historically been a major cause of bricks on some controller firmwares...
[Security Discussion] mike_1983:
When I posted I was looking at some similar threads, someone made a program that deleted everything on the phone except the recovery (then you could flash another rom - I don't know if it overwrote or just deleted) I think it was for an Asus transformer tablet.

Whenever I've sold something before I have just connected it to my computer and written large files to all the available space. I don't have any sensitive data but I like to make sure everything is deleted before I sell something.

I'm surprised there's not more information/apps or whatever on this subject (wiping android) there's lots of programs for PC's to securely wipe drives. Some sites mention about encrypting the phone then wiping it, I guess that's the way to go.
[Security Discussion] repat:
My first thought was too, that it must be different from hard drives.

My initial idea would be to encrypt everything. Luckily since Honeycomb, Android supports this out of the box(but it's not hardware based) So even if data can be restored, it'd be nonsense(if the manufactorer implemented it correctly). You could choose a strong password, because you won't need to remember it anyway since you wipe the phone afterwards.

I found this article that agrees with me:) androidcentral.com/securely-wiping-your-android-phone-makes-it-just-fine-sell-fud

Then there is this article on lifehacker: lifehacker.com/5808280/what-should-i-do-with-my-phone-before-i-sell-it

Money quote:

:D

A little off topic: Another solution would be to just store sensitive data on a SD card and remove it before selling. Plus you could use tools like EDS(Lite) to store sensitive data in container. Sync them via a cloud service and open them on your computer with TrueCrypt.
[Security Discussion] llPierell:
Any updates how to do this?
[Security Discussion] Ryccardo:
Boot into recovery and dd /dev/urandom over the /data, /cache and /sdcard partitions, then from the GUI reformat them...

Not perfect but well enough to prevent someone imaging from those partitions to their PC and running an undeleter (or hex editor) on the partition images!

Are any of the app settings backed up to my google account? If not is there any way to back them up so I don't have to configure everything again, without being rooted?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] fred_up:
Your Google account does not back up a lot of things - settings for downloaded apps and among other things SMS texts. I use the free app Mobile Backup & Restore from Trend Micro.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] tissot:

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] jakmes:
I opened a similar topic few weeks ago, did a full reset, mainly for problems regarding the battery, haven't noticed significant changes, my only solution was changing the battery with the original extended, 3000 mah, now I can reach evening without problems... But with the regular 2100 with heavy use I wasn't anymore able to get past 6 pm.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] painball:
Well. That depends on individual usage. It could be helpful to know screen on time, network connection, used apps/sync.

Always after update it's suggested to perform factory reset. About backup... Well. Tons of apps work better after clean install on newer version of OS. Ofc I'm not taking about small updated related to bug fixes/optimalisation but upgrading from 4.1 to 4.3 for example. It cost less effort than searching which app cause the problem and usability of Rom in our android devices.

looks very nice ,cool share brother,i test on sgy duos and my lg and send report later.

sd tweak is a lil bit to heavy i think,4096 lol,its better to set on 2048 for sgy its much better.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] Rhievaldo:
i think 4096 read and write faster than 2048. and yeah no big different, but my test result 4098 little better than 2048. also search on many forums which some people compare both values, and again result is same, 4098 little better..

both is good, back to sd quality.. and now im still thinking for that's..

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hi,

By editing the build.prop with a file explorer (need root), at the end of the build.prop (/system/build.prop) add this line:

debug.egl.swapinterval=0

Save and reboot.

But it's only for benches in my opinion, you'll see some weird screen behaviors while scrolling like "tearing" for example. There is nothing to gain in day to day use.

Make a Nandroid backup first, just in case.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mulletmeister:
I may be a 'junior' member, but I have taken the plunge and signed up after many years of browsing and rooting etc...

You are correct, there is a lot of stuff to trawl through, and I think in part it's down to Samsung and the 101 different models! I started with an old Galaxy Ace that got CM'ed and things were definately easier back then!! Even the HTC One was a breeze, once you'd asked HTC for the bootloader unlock!

The rom's that I have taken a shine to are, obviously Cyanogenmod 11, The X-Note looks quite snappy, and the Echoe rom, but that's only because I'm a massive Pink Floyd fan and they name the roms after floyd songs!! I am sitting tight until a decent rom, minus the bloody TW, comes along. I would like something like the PacRom I had on an SGS2 and HTC One. I love the pac in black feature and the way they were laid out, along with the mountain of add ons. The Echoe rom for Note 3 seems to have a miriad of combinations using AOSP etc... Looks quite tidy, but I'm also bothered by the bloody knox thing! admittedly. Sadly, this will be my last Samsung Product. 3GB ram, Quadcore and you can't do F*ck all to them without potentially having issues with warranty!

Anyways Rant over.....
