Hello to all,
After flashing and rom, once I have logged in my google account, i have to clear data and cache from market to prevent the automatic installation of all my apps.
Since I have the backup i don't need this automatic restore.
How can I disable it expecially with gingerbread roms???
Thanks!

1. Wipe everything via CWM (data/cache/dalvik cache). Do it manually. Install the ROM you want.
2. Reboot your phone. Do not setup your google account now.
3. Go to settings ---> Privacy ----> Check Backup my settings (you need to do this to uncheck "automatic restore" option) and uncheck "automatic restore" option.
4. Restart your phone. Set up your google account. Uncheck backup my settings.
This will do it. It is indeed very useful when you do not want the rests from your previous ROM.
When I check and unchecked it ask me if I want to delete all copies from google servers and I said yes.
Now when I flash new rom no apps will be restored?
But I have always indicated in my application on market which apps i have bought?
Thanks

I just installed the Virtuous ROM and am using TB to get my apps back.
I was just curious, as I don't want a bunch of random system stuff I never used to get re-installed, what is the 'system data' referring too? Obviously user apps are pandora etc, but what is the data? Should I restore this as well?
thanks for the clarification!

I often wonder the same thing, and come back to this each time. Opinions differ, on what all to restore.... that said, you may need some of that 'system data' at some point , so .....I go with what the maker says - look in this section: How to restore your backups after installing a ROM (if you wiped your phone)

While not a direct answer to your question, hth!
I only back up certain apps + system data.
for example if you want all your profiles saved in SetCPU when flashing to the next ROM you run the "Backup all user apps + system data"... uncheck select all and select SetCPU
if you use NewsRoom and want to save all your feeds when flashing to the next ROM you run the "Backup all user apps + system data"... uncheck select all and select NewsRoom
Hi
I have a question about my Desire hd. I have flashed Android revolution hd 3.1 with the recommend radio and buzz kernel. Before that I had the 3.0 version of arhd. So have done a Manuel full wipe in recovery and also use the full wipe zip from a post in this board. But my wallpaper and shortcuts to internet site were still there after flashing 3.1. I have also formatted the SD card so where were they saved that they appear after a full wipe. I'm asking this because I have battery problem. It's about 5-7 mA while screen is off ( using setup smartas). Don't low way to do to d this.

I'm not sure about your internet shortcuts, but I know the wallpaper selection is backed up with your google account, so whenever you re-signin after wiping, it'll restore it from there.
As for your battery drain, I have to say that 5 - 7mA is not terrible at all for AR. I know I was getting similar numbers while using it.
However, if you're still looking to optimise, I'd recommend checking out this thread for more information. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937080
The wallpaper and everything comes back because they are backed up in google. If you don't want them back do this (however this will not restore the apps):
1. Wipe everything via CWM (data/cache/dalvik cache). Do it manually. Install the ROM you want.
2. Reboot your phone. Do not setup your google account now.
3. Go to settings ---> Privacy ----> Check Backup my settings (you need to do this to uncheck "automatic restore" option) and uncheck "automatic restore" option.
4. Restart your phone. Set up your google account. Uncheck backup my settings.
This will do it. It is indeed very useful when you do not want the rests from your previous ROM.
Hi there,
I already searched about this but i cant really find anything useful to me.
The problem is: I have a HTC Desire and everytime I change rom from new sense he restore my old apps from the old roms.... How can i stop that auto installation? Its so annoying.
Best Regards!
portela =)
U mean google's automatic backup?
Settings>Privacy>Backup Settings
Either the previous post or are you using an EXT partition for data2sd? If so, you will have to format that partition in between flashing roms.
If you flash new roms, you should do a full wipe. All installed should be deleted with this action.

Yes, I am talking about google's automatic backup...
I was already there before but I just dont want apps restore... i want contacts from google :\
And "Automatic Restore" disabled solves this?
Are these google apps or apps you installed yourself which reinstall themselves?

What was told: Do a full wipe before flashing a rom. With this action the /data partition and ext partition (and some other partitions, but these two are the were apps will be installed) will be formatted. Now apps should not install "themselves". A solution for now:
Manually uninstall the apps which reinstalled themselves.
And you can turn google's automatic backup off . You get the google contacts from syncing with google account (settings>accounts & sync). I also turned off this automatic backup, sync on the described way and i have all my google contacts on my phone. Furthermore, i (would) backup myself with titanium backup + nandroid + sms backup & restore.

I always do full wipes when I install roms... I think that the problem is that sense or something saves downloaded apps and it downloads again the apps.

Your phone backs up the following types of data and settings whenever there are new additions or changes:
- Text and multimedia messages
- Settings in the Messages application
- Web bookmarks
- Keyboard dictionary
- Settings in your phone that fall under these categories:
Wireless & networks
Sound & display
Location
Applications
Date & time
Language & keyboard - only the Locale setting
I really dont understand how dont u all have this problem.. even the background desktop picture is there after another rom install >_>
still searchin more ideas :\
Now i am finished with my knowledge. Sorry. It sounds so strange that apps reinstall themselves.
sad thanks by the way
any1 with an idea about this?
bump help
The only way I have found is as soon as you've gone through the setup process on initial boot with a new ROM, rush to Settings > Applications, then terminate Market application and clear its data. It stops it autodownloading the apps again.
Then I install what i want using Titanium Backup, and then I run Market. It does a "first start" user agreement thing and you're all back to normal, without the market redownloading apps you downloaded under previous ROMs.
Not a brilliant solution but better than nothing.

Whenever I change Rom I don't add my Google account in the initial setup. Before u do that, go settings , privacy, backup/restore. The auto restore option is ticked but greyed out so u cant select it. Tick auto backup box, de select auto restore, and deselect auto backup again. Now it should'nt restore anything...
Just installed the stock rom today for IMM76I and the market has gone to hell on me immediately.
Every time I go to download or update an app, it goes to the download queue and sits there indefinitely. If I go to the market in the browser, every application I've ever installed just says installed, and it won't give me any option to install it. I can't find any place to clear this data within my account settings or the android marketplace.
I wound up doing a factory reset, and opted to not have Google restore any settings to my phone, and now the market is working fine. Has anyone else run into this issue before?
On a side note, I noticed it cached my wireless network creds as well on the backup. Where do I go to clear that backup data?

When you go into settings and uncheck the tickbox for "backup my data on Google servers" it says, this will delete any backup stored on our servers including wifi settings etc.

Hi everyone, i am very annoyed because everytime i flash a new rom google restores all of my settings and apps from my previous phone (hd2) and i haven't found a way to disable this feature, can anyone help, btw the feature backup/restore data from google accont doesen't work
you
You'd better change you email xP
After flashing a new ROM and when prompted to sign in to Google, skip this part for now (there is normally a skip function, or you can try pressing home or back button).
From there go to your "Settings">"Privacy" and Un-check "Back up my data" and "Automatic Restore".
Then you are free to go to "Settings">"Accounts & Sync">"Add Google Account", to get your Contacts, Gmail and Browser synced.
The scheme with the signing in after unchecking seems to be working but i'm still wondering how to make the information on the google servers go away

i was getting mad every time my phone started downloading all those app on its own thank god i have a solution now
Does it still download every app when you first sync up? I thought it just loaded contacts and calender/docs and probably drive stuff now.
The last time I did a full wipe it didn't do this for me. That would be a nightmare because every app I have ever downloaded is in my market library when I got to play.google.com on my laptop. If anything I would like to trim that down and remove selective apps. There are some that are just rubbish now that I would never use. Just downloaded to try for example.
it would be really nice if yo could manage your backup data, select what yo want to restore like wireless settings or wallpapers or ringtones
Although you can not get to actually see the data, have a look HERE On the point of disabling and deleting the back ups through ADB command prompt

I know this is an old thread, but here is some info from the docs about "bmgr"
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/bmgr.html
Warning! When backup is disabled, the current backup transport will explicitly wipe the entire active data set from its backend storage. This is so that when a user says they do not want their data backed up, the Backup Manager respects that wish. No further data will be saved from the device, and no restore operations will be possible, unless the Backup Manager is re-enabled (either through Settings or through the above bmgr command).

This implies disabling backup deletes all backed up files on the server.
