Hi Sailors! A quick question about factory reset! Due to third party repositories creating sometimes issues during upgrade, and also in the case of selling a phone and 'cleaning it', my question is: -Does a factory reset of a phone wipe-delete all third party repositories (from openrepos apps)? or just disable them?

greetings and thanks!

It will delete repos. You can backup them in Storeman.

thanks! and if you make a backup from the Jolla backup tool, that will also bring back the repos

Nope. scope of Jolla's backup tool is very limited
