What ROM were you on and what were you going to? I've found if you've wiped and got to a new build (e.g. 4.0.3 to 4.0.4) then it doesn't automatically do it
thanks for answering!
Im using AOKP, 21 before and now 22 (403), always used this after the stock rom, with AOKP have never been restored :/

Get Titanium Backup, it backups up your apps including the apps data.

ok thank u if this is the only way to fix then i will
I think it has something to do with your Google account. I have the same problem and it was ages ago the phone auto installed my market app. I do change rom quite often and i do not like TB to restore apps.
In your goggle account, I don't remember exactly where you can se a list of your devices and their apps. Same device can show as different ones in your account probably due to different build.prop or something like that.
So my theory is that you can only have a limited amount of devices with auto restored apps. Or Google doesn't recognice your device as the same one after you have flashed it with some custom rom.

My understanding is that GingerBread (2.3.x) will handle automatically restoring your apps after a wipe or you switch between ROM (each with clean wipe).
It asks about "backing up google".
I'm currently using MikG 0.5 and was using MikG RC1 for quite a while (since it was released 3 weeks?).
I was hoping starting with a fresh wipe it would restore my apps but it does not.
I think on one of these gingerbread ROMs (I've tried a bunch) I think it did partially restore apps. Not just paid ones. I forget if it was complete or not.
Is there something explicit you have to do to make this all work?

That still seems to be hit or miss. Is there any reason you're not using Titanium Backup?

Because I don't like it. Recently I wanted to use it for a piece of software for TTS I bought and was no longer available in the Market. And it completely fell on it's face. All I did was copy the APK from system from a restored back up and it installed fine.
I also don't want to restore potentially incompatible apps. I assume Google will trigger Market to install latest right from the start.
I also don't have to explicitly choose what to back up and what to restore.
I've seen the Google Stuff work, and it works well when it works.

That's the problem. Honestly, TB can be complicated to use but what you're describing sounds like user error. You also don't have to explicitly choose what to backup and restore in TB either. Just go into Menu > Batch > Backup all user apps to backup and then Restore all user apps when you want to restore. Then just use the Market to update any out of date apps. It takes forever for the Market to get your apps back anyway, I always use TB and so does almost anyone else on a custom ROM.
Call me a purist, but I don't like Titanium Backup either. Granted, I don't use a ton of market apps, only about a dozen or so ... just not a problem. To get back to the original question, Google has always restored my apps on CM6/7, up to and including the 3-7 gapps. The newer gapps used with Android 2.3.4 are where everything began to break down.

I don't want to back it up like that. I think it causes problems.
I backed up this app explicitly, went to restore explicitly and it didn't work. Pretty Simple.
I'd like the google feature. I want something that coordinates with the mark app and installs the instead if the backup is old.

Good luck
Hello all,
I remember something about google automatically backing up all my apps when I first set up my phone and/or market access. I have also heard of apps being automatically reinstalled after members on this board have flashed new roms and wiped all data. I have never had this happen to me but it would be super convenient.
Is there anything I can do to activate that feature?
Thanks.

Yep install a aosp ROM .... cm9 aokp codename miui etc
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
if you are not running a cyn mod or AKOP, I suggest you use Titanium Backup to rip the apks into an archive where you can reinstall them if anything happens.
Thanks both but I installed cm9 and that didn't happen. Any ideas?
I've been a little confused on the exact procedure myself, and have felt super lucky when it just...works. lol
I do know this: if your on a gingerbread rom or even ics, once you let the market update to Google play after a wipe/flash, log in to your Gmail, press menu>my apps> slide over one pane and you will see every app you've ever downloaded under that Gmail. I found apps from like 2009 lmfao
Might sound like a stupid question. I just unlocked, rooted, and flashed Jelly Belly, and was wondering if there was a quick way to recover your apps. The only way I've known is to login to play.google.com and send all the apps I want manually through the web interface. Is it possible to have your apps auto sync once you login to your Google account for the first time upon setup? Maybe some other way. It just pains me to manually have to go to the Google Play Store web interface from my computer and send each app one at a time to my phone. Thanks guys.
during the time when you set it up and logged into google it should of asked you to restore apps if it didnt well then your going to have to do them one by one unless of course you had titanium backup or something
I think while I was still on stock ICS and did a full wipe for a new kernel when I rebooted all my apps started downloading instantly as soon as I signed into Google. Since then thought that hasn't happened. I just go to the play store and look at my app purchase history and download the ones I had. Would like to know how to set up the auto feature, I think it might have to do with the Currents folder I have that is being backed up to Google now.

Yeah, that's the issue I'm having. I know a friend of mine doesn't have this issue. Everytime he flashes a new ROM his apps are restored automatically. On the other hand, when I sign into my Google account for the first time, my apps aren't synced and downloaded automatically. Everything else is, like contacts, etc get restored, but not apps for some reason. Any idea why my Google account isn't syncing my apps?
Just backup user apps and data through adb or a toolkit and restore when done. I've flashed all of the stock update leaks using this method, up and running in no time with everything back to normal. Don't backup system apps and data unless are reflashing the same ROM.

Can Titanium Backup do this?
Gentlemen,
I've rooted my GS3 - works flawlessly. Id like to start experimenting with various ROMS. My questions is
once I've done an android backup with CWM, and the new ROM is loaded, how do I reinstall all of my apps,
and settings (mail,etc)?? I have Titanium backup installed and have backed up each of the important apps one
by one.......
Easier way? That could take hours to recreate.
THanks

Generally restoring phone settings between different ROMs isn't a great idea and can lead to various problems.
You can have you apps reinstalled automatically when you login to Google on first boot.
It reinstals apps on installing google mail??????? HOW?
Now I'm really peaked about loading a new rom..........

Usually when you boot Android for the first time, you're asked to put in your Google credentials - these are used for Gmail, but also to log you in to the Play Store. Then there is usually an option to restore the phone, and it will proceed to download all of your apps.
If you buy the pro key for titanium backup it automates the backup and restore process. And it is fine to restore apps and data (not system data) from one ROM to another. I even restored apps and data from my Atrix to my S3.

So today I installed the latest Jedi rom onto my note 2. This is my first rom install, so excuse me if this is a newbish question. I used Rom Manager to backup, wipe, clear caches, and flash the rom. I let the phone sit for 10 minutes after the install, and when I started using it, data worked and everything. I installed Titanium Backup and restored my apps, and everything went pretty great. I had my old desktop and everything.
The only issue I have is with my google apps. Google+ and messenger will not open. It says no connection, couldn't connect to server. When I hit okay, it asks me to select an account, but upon doing so, the same error just comes up. Gmail works, but curiously, I have to update it manually to see if/when I get new emails, contrary to my settings in the application. Google now appears to work, at least when I load it up, but I don't know if it'd update on its own in the background like it normally does. I also just discovered that I can't install apps from the play store on my PC.
I tried uninstalling google+ with titanium, then reinstalling it in the market, but that didn't work. I also deleted my google account, then re added it and re synced everything, but that didn't fix it either. I tried searching the Jedi thread for "gmail" and a few other things, but didn't find any relevant info.

When you restored with TIBu did you restore apps and data or??? Did you ensure to follow the exact steps in the post?

I'd also flash manually...not using ROM Manager. Sounds like you may need to start over and make sure you don't restore any system apps or system data.

I flashed with rom manager, and I did restore app data when I restored my apps. Is there any way I can clear the particular trouble apps (g apps, and facebook I discovered as well will not give me notifications) and reinstall, or do I have to flash again?
Best thing to do is fresh install everything. I know its a pain in the ass but ive been the original tester of the jedi rom for i317/m and have yet too have any issues. Restoring through tibu does work but making sure to restore apps only.

Hmm okay, do you know what it is that I restored that screwed things up? I thought all I restored was apps. I just did one operation along the lines of 'restore all apps and app data'
I think also when I restored, it asked if i wanted to restore the device's ID or something like that, maybe that had something to do with it. It said if I restored the device ID to the original one, it would help with restored apps functioning properly.

Best thing is start from scratch! Install your apps direct from play. If you follow the directions perfectly, you should have no issues
