Try this:
1) backup everything to external SD
2) wipe everyting
3) download gapps for ics (there are some differences between GApps for GB, ICS and JB).
4) in restore mode install GApps
5) enjoy

If you mean apps you have purchased on the market is a feature that downloads the purchased apps automatically once you enter your gmail account. If that is bothering you uninstall them manually once you have the ROM installed
ok:
1. boot to recovery
2. wipe all (factory, sd-ext, dalvik)
3. flash new rom
4. start new rom
5. use wizard to config phone (local setting and google account)
6. run android market and this is critical point
7. after run android market start download all my installed apps from old rom (rom when i use before flashing new rom).
And my question is: How i disable it (download old apps in market).
I need have clear phone without any apps.
If you need a phone without applications what you should do after doing all you just posted is either login in with another google account that has not downloaded anything or uninstall manually the apps after login in

When you are entering your setup information you are selecting Google backup. If you do not select it, it won't download your apps. Which ROM are you using? Is it one of the hd ones?

How can we delete that backup now?
Sent using XDA app from my Desire
when i not select backup to google, is still same as i select this (backup to google). After start android market apps will downloading.
I test:
In old rom manual uninstall all apps from android market.
In recovery full wipe
Flash new rom
In wizard unselect backup to google
But when i start android market apps will downolading :-(
Where i search this backup on google ?
Definite bump on this required!
I too want to delete the existing backup that Google holds because it contains apps that I deleted ages ago because I don't want them (it even downloaded the CM background I used when I used an AOSP ROM a while ago). This happened after I flashed a hd ROM last night.
And I can confirm that regardless of selecting backup or not, the auto downloads occur.
Is the backup overwritten if you don't select it initially but then select it after you have configured your phone to how you want it? If so, how do you reset the backup option, can;t find it, do I have to re-run the setup wizard?
I'm currently back on a standard Sense ROM and don't plan on going to a HD one for a while but would like to delete whatever backup Google hold.
Thanks
Seems like this only happens on Sense-based ROMs. I had a Sense ROM installed and flashed a CM6.1 Mod, and no apps were downloaded when I opened the market.
Maybe you can avoid this with the AppBrain App Market, which also synchronises your apps with Google to bring apps in your market list that have been installed outside the market via browser or sd-card.
Ok, this issue for me is now resolved having just reinstalled a hd rom (Alex-v 1.3 hd v2), basically I let the apps auto update then, once notified of completion, went into 'Settings-Privacy'-which is where I saw that backup wasn't ticked (as I had not selected it in the setup wizard) but that auto resore WAS but it was greyed out. I selected backup which then ungreyed the auto restore option and was able to untick both selections, once you do this you are given a messsage asking if you are sure and if you continue all data will be deleted. All sorted. Just means you have to go through uninstalling the apps you no longer want but it should be a one off from now. Happy days!

[Q] Google Apps on a CM7 ?

I flashed CM7 and gapps.
Now i was wondering how i can get the google apps?
Google Maps
Google Latitude
Goggle Mail
etc.
(would like all the google apps that came originally with the phone)
I'm new to the whole Desire world
I may be wrong with this so please wait til someone confirms but i think you can remove the apks' from another downloaded ROM and install them to your own. Just download the zip file of a seperate ROM find all the APK files you need and install ....
Not sure if any of these files have extra files on the ROM that you need to move with them so like i say please wait for someone with more knowledge to respond
my mistake didnt read the post fully
You can download them from Market.
That's why they're not included in gapps.
I didn't find it in market.
So i re-flashed the CM7 and gapps and got the menu where i can choose what i want to download. But it aswell couldn't find maps and gmail.
I had created .apk for all google apps of oxygen so everything works now.
Thanks for the help
That sounds very strange.
I flashed last night my HTC Desire to CM7, and flashed the gapps universal dpi.
With the first boot I was asked which Apps I would install and Maps & Latitude are downloaded from the Market.
Maybe you had the wrong gapps installed...

Same problem here. I installed the same way as you did, got the same install menue and some google apps were installed.
But not Maps and Earth.
So I tried via market. I find Maps and Earth in market but when I try to download, nothing happens. Can't DL, so can't install.
Tried Nightlies 25 to 33 with same result.
Also tried full wipe, but nothing changes....
I have a question about installing gapps. I found my gapps here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps
how do I flash them? do I wipe all data/cache/dalvik first just like on done with the ROM?

No need to wipe.
Ok thanks
quick question again lol
I'm with alltel but my ROM says US Cellular..does that make any difference?
i had the same problem with CM7 #34 on the first try (only cleared data/cache before flash)
gapps universal start up just fine, but failed on downloading maps
also when trying later directly from the market the download failed without any error, it just stopped..
cleared data/cache & dalvik cache and reflashed CM7, after that it worked fine..
Very strange, I have no such problems with flashing the google addon.
I have downloaded CM7 Nightly #32 last week, and am going to flash a newer version soon.
Good luck everyone.

That solved the install problem
Still don't understand why I could not install via CM G-Apps or Market, but anyway....
Thanks!
That's probably because you are not in the US and not all apps are available everywhere. E.g. GMail isn't available, for whatever STUPID reasons, in the German market for me.
If you want it, all you can do is getting an app called "market access". It will allow you to emulate a SIM card from T-Mobile US and then you have access to everything.

[Q] Android Market doesnt' work

hi, im new to rooting. i've just rooted my desire with cyanogenmod 7, and the android market doesn't seem to work? i can't download google map or any other apps from it. any help? thanks alot.
any help? thanks
i guess you tried rebooting? that worked the last time I had problems with cyanogenmod, that being said i don't use it daily so I'm no expert
yup, i tried rebooting but it didn't work too..
Try wiping the cache, if that doesn't work, do a factory reset and wipe everything, do a fresh install and put gapps on.
does that mean i have to flash it back to stock rom and start all over again?
Have you tried to flash the G-apps again? Here's the link of the newest one: Google apps choose the CyanogenMod 7 (Gingerbread) version and flash it with Rom Manager or Recovery.
have you modified the .zip file , deleting some files for exemple?
I done it, and removed "Package Installer.apk" one time, so downloads were beginning but stopped each time immediately
Market download issues
I'm having similar issues using GingerVillain 1.9. Small market updates are downloading without issue, larger ones such as the latest Google Maps update are giving the message "download unsuccessful". I had similar issues when the market was updated from the old style, and wonder whether google are tinkering in the background.

i don't think i've removed any of those files..
I am having similar problems. I have installed the gapps, but it only installs a couple of google apps. When I try to install from the market some install fine but others (angry birds for example) don't. I see the downloading icon for split second then it goes away and the download stops.
Any ideas?

CM 10 & Gapps won't install

Having issues with latest nightly CM 10 (cm-10-20121206-NIGHTLY-maguro.zip) and gapps (gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip).
Here's the process I followed:
ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.1.0
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik
Mounts and storage > format system
Advanced > wipe battery stats
Flash cm-10-20121206-NIGHTLY-maguro.zip
Flash gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
After doing this, I don't have any google apps. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, do you?
If you have Google play store and can sign into your Google account, you are OK. Some of the Google apps such as YouTube and Gmail are now not included with the Gapps package as they can be downloaded.
If the packaged failed to install, what are the errors given by recovery?

I know the CM10 ROM includes play store, and that I have the ability to search for each Google app individually and install it manually, but why? Why do I have to?
Recovery does not give an error during install. I get the nice asterisk banner and it says 'Google Apps for Android 4.1.2' then it verifies md5 installs and says Installation complete! Successful.
I have tried with ClockworkMod recovery environment v6.0.1.0 as well as TWRP v2.3.2.1
I find it hard to believe I am the only one with this issue, but it also surprises me that I don't see any other posts with this specific problem. I'm sufficiently confused.

It seems you are not installing the latest gapps from Goo.im. According to this guide. You have to flash the latest available Gapps. You can find it here on the date 30/11/2012.
Try installing that Gapps and I hope it works with you

I appreciate the response. The latest CM10 for Maguro is only Android 4.1.2, which is why I used the corresponding version of gapps. In fact, if I go to your second link, the 30/11/2012, it specifically states '!!Not compatible with 4.1.x.!!'.
It may be time to try Paranoid Android or some similar ROM with gapps baked in. Although I'm a huge fan of Cyanogen's work.

Oh I noticed something now. Actually I read that it is always better to wipe cache and dalvik before flashing any Gapps.
One more thing, try installing the CM 10 only then download GooManager and use it to download and install the Gapps via GooManager.
I know that your method is very fine from recovery and these are only another ways but sometimes using another way really works
Good Luck

No, CM10 doesn't include play store. it comes from Gapps. In the past most google apps have to be provided separately from CyanogenMod because of copyright issue (for more information you can have a look at Rootzwiki's post on Gapps). Since Gmail, youtube, maps and navigator weren't available from google market (now called play store), they came packaged with Gapps. Now, those apps have appeared on google play store so i guess the dev has left them out from the Gapps zip to reduce size of the zip.
if you failed to flash Gapps, you will not have play store. the fact you have it means you flashed it correctly. I just checked with the included apks of your version of Gapps. you will get google talk, play store, voice search, calender sync and contact sync, face unlock, plus a collection of background services. no gmail, no youtube, no map, no current, no google+, no reader. anything the play store can provide are not included.
so, Gapps did install correctly in your phone, but it doesn't have those apps you expected to see.

It all makes sense now. Thank you. :victory:
No custom rom is allowed to include gapps. They are not a part of AOSP, but property of Google. Google doesn't OWN AOSP, but maintains it as a member of Open Handset Alliance, for which they're a major force.
Google asked CM - politely, i would expect - to remove them in the past, because it's the most used, AOSP-based, custom rom.
And stop with those myths that one needs to wipe caches to flash roms or gapps, not true. Wipe data (to switch roms) or format /system, yes, to start fresh; but even then, there's no need to wipe caches. I assure you, no bootloop comes because you didnt wipe caches.

thanks a lot for this explanation! i was going crazy, thinking that gapps just wouldn't install even after flashing it over 10 times... XD

I too was in the same boat but your thread helped me understand :highfive:

How Do I Uninstall Google Play Services?

I have had a few problems with Google Play recently.
I had an AOSP based rom that I backed up with TWRP and then I clean flashed CM13.
I booted, installed a bunch of stuff then realised I had forgotten the Gapps so I rebooted to recovery and flashed the open gapps pico package.
On reboot I would get a message saying Google Play Services has stopped every second or so.
I was unable to disable it from the settings and ended up restoring from the backup.
Now I get Google Play has stopped messages each time I try to go to the play store.
I could clean flash the system again but I would rather learn a bit more about where the Gapps end up on the filesystem and try to uninstall them manually, either with adb or with the TWRP file manager/console.
Assuming the pico version of Gapps, what do I need to remove to uninstall Google Play Services and Google Play?
Assuming you are rooted, try installing an APK for Link2SD and you will be able to uninstall system apps.
