FullReset.zip  package  will wipe External SD partition and  Internal SD partition.

the addition of a FullReset for our Android devices is highly needed as more and more customer realize that a normal factory reset will not wipe the Internal SD partition.
despite being advertised as bringing back a device to ' out of box ' state, the normal FactoryReset package will leave  internal SD partition untouched, and therefore exposing  private files  like Photos etc.

but the current implementation of the FullReset  which wipes  ALL SD partitions is not the right way in my opinion.

for example customer  can have large  files or other database files on his  external removable SD card  which  should not be wiped.

also partners and or repair  will have   SD cards with  diagnostic tools  for example and when  bringing back device back to defaults it should only wipe the device and the Internal SD card.

not the External SD  which is used to go from device to device.

can this be looked upon from a more customer focussed point of view and if needed consult APA forum.
