Titanium Backup will do that, and of course the phone has 'factory reset'.

With Xoom, you can d/l original factory builds from manufacturer, perhaps 
others do likewise?

[SLUG] Android phones

2012-05-28 Thread Ben Donohue

Hi all,

I'm thinking of getting a few Android devices...

Two phones and two tablets.
(I'm looking at getting a samsung galaxy II and samsung Note. Also two 
samsung tablets (for the kids)


I would like to be able to sync contacts with the Linux desktop rather 
than the "cloud".


Googling suggests cloud only or syncing with Windows.

Anyone out there with Android able to sync with a Linux desktop?

Also I'd like to be able to "ghost" or image the phone in case of 
malware infection... something I do all the time with desktops.


Anyone done this or any pointers/experiences? How to get a phone back to 
factory or original installation software?


Thanks,
Ben
