I want to wipe the phone clean (or reset it, not sure about the nomenclature). Meaning, I'd like to get rid of all the apps, all the data, everything. Except for the contacts. I'd like to somehow restore them after wiping the phone.
So I know there is an option to go to Settings/Privacy/Factory data reset, which wipes it clean (i assume), and that is what I am planning to use.
I also see an option to Back up my data
in Settings/Privacy. However, this option backs up all the application data, passwords, etc... as well to Google servers. But, again, I only want the contacts.
So, is there a way to do what I want?
For reference, this is a Nexus One with Android 2.3.6.
