I deactivated some apps on a device using adb.
When I factory reset the device, are the apps then restored into activated state?

A factory reset makes your device just like it was when you first took it out of the box brand new. It is done from with in the Android OS it self via Settings/SD & phone storage/Factory data reset. Any apps you have installed, your contacts, bookmarks, any personal settings you have will be removed. If you go into Settings/Privacy and check backup settings your settings will be backed up to google. It is also a has a Automatic restore option there that will automatically restore your settings for you if you have backup settings checked.
A hard reset does the same thing a factory data reset does, but you have to use the external buttons to do it. Each device has it's on combination of buttons to preform a hard reset. Some devices have it as a option in the Hboot/Recovery screen. Some say a hard reset does a little bit more thorough or deeper cleaning, but I have found no one that can answer this for 100% positive.
you can also preform a factory reset using Clockwork Mod Recovery by choosing the factory data reset option in the main menu of Clockwork Mod Recovery.
As for it solving your issue with lagging. I can not say proof positive it will as I do not have a device like yours and do not exactly what is causing the device to lag. But a factory reset has been know to help solve a lot of issues, one is laggyness. I suggest you do it as it is no risk involved in doing it. Plus with Android it is easy to restore your device to the way you had it. The market keeps track of the apps you had and you just open the market, press yhe menu button and then my apps. this will let you get your apps back.
Foxfi is my tethering app and was wondering if there was a way to back up foxfi before resetting my phone back to factory settings. When I go to factory reset on my HTC One m8 I get a warning message that all data and apps will be deleted. Can these files be copied onto a computer and then reinstalled on the phone after the reset is complete?

Rootify (Root Checker) - Android Apps on Google Play
Yes I know this is a stupid thing to do but the factory reset has lost all my pictures. I have tried to go down the root of Rooting the device and then running some recovery software but not very successful hence my other thread of restoring. Is there any easier way to get the pictures restored after factory reset ?:cyclops:
The internal storage is encrypted by default anyways, there's absolutely no way to recover anything from it after a factory reset.
I could use a hand bypassing Googles reset setup. I had to reset the device using the recovery menu.
When the device was initially setup, there was no google account used. But on master reset, its asking for the G account previously synced. I wiped the cache in recovery but it didnt work
