## Description

Factory Reset — Format Phone fully resets your Android device to its factory state, ideal for removing persistent malware, restoring performance, or preparing a phone for resale. The app provides a one-tap full device wipe that invokes the system-level factory reset flow, plus quick access to developer options and security shortcuts to troubleshoot before wiping.

This tool requires Device Administrator permission so it can trigger an irreversible system-level erase and optionally lock the device. Clear guidance dialogs and a two-step confirmation help prevent accidental wipes. IMPORTANT: the final reset permanently deletes apps, accounts, photos and local files — back up any important data before proceeding.
