Shared Data Between Applications

Recently I noted that due to the drastic changes which go between versions 3 and 4 of Power Manager, 1 and 2 of SoftGlow, and heck, even 4.0 and 4.1 of Power Manager itself, that sometimes application settings can get corrupted or set improperly. This will 99 percent of the time not happen, however, for that 1 percent corner case, I have added a small button in the application settings page of each of these applications which will allow you as the user to reset all of the application configurable data. This means timers, preferences, notifications, data, all of it. This will allow you to get the application back to a new state, as if you were installing it for the first time. It is safer and more convenient than resetting the application through the App Manager on our device, because it safely exits the application after usage, making sure that no preferences can be changed before a fresh application instance is opened. It is safer because it only modifies the values in the single application, instead of the App Manager which is configured to apply to more general situations. It does not modify or clear other applications, other preferences or other parts of any application.

Heck its like a 2 line long piece of code.

But hey, its here, for any users you feel that they are experiencing issues after the application updates because of a corrupted preference table perhaps.

Awesome possum.
