I know this may be a dumb question, but I'm seriously thinking about just installing a bunch of applications that I'm curious about, and then doing the hard reset to begin from scratch and this time have a more experienced idea of what I'm doing.
yeah the hard reset just undoes any custom apps or themes or whatever customizations you've done and resets to how it was fresh outta the box except if you flashed a rom the rom stays. no reactivation required
