[Q] Disable auto-install apps

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...

Restoring from Google's backup had weird effects on the marketplace

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.

Google play doesn't work

as the title says.....the problem starting couple days ago, when I received the updates for some apps from my list and I was not able to do update via WIFI. strange thing is that I can do it via 3G. The browser and other apps working fine on WIFI, and also I can access the Google PLay, but I can't update or download... I clean the caches, but still not working. Any help? thanks for any answer

1. if you have crack apps when google play load them to your my apps it will error out google play maybe a new feature.
2. reset your dpi to stock in rom control if your using a rom with it and reboot .
3. clear market cache,data reboot but still must have stock dpi.

thanks for a quick replay. I have a stock rom, no root, no custom rom. I did only clear market cache and reboot, but still not working. I can search on Market, but can't download or update via WIFI. .......strange, never happened....

Try all of these -
1. Go to applications > Play store > Clear Cache/Data
2. Go to applications > Download Manager > Clear Data
3. Go to recovery > Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache
4. Go to recovery > Wipe Cache

What error message? If not a error message force close app and reboot. If that doesn't work, log into another Google account in your market see if you can get downloads. If that works, something is wrong with your account syncing. If it still dosent work i would factory restore. Somehow a setting seems to may have been changed on accident or you internal drive just acting crazy and needs to be reformated "same as factory reset". This normally is most common on apps restored from a backup or lack of storage/memory

I already done no 1 & 2. For 3 & 4 I don't have a custom recovery.... and still doesn't work! The phone is under contract at Vodafone, and it's locked in network. I can't put custom recovery on it or other ROM...unfortunately.

mate, if I switch WIFI off and I do update or a download via 3G, works just fine. I can't understand why doesn't work via WIFI ? it could be because I changed my router?????

Sounds like your wifi is restricting data downloading over a certain size or is blocking all download traffic from the market due to router policies set up. Factory reset phone and format internal drive. Well maybe hard resetting the router may be a good idea before losing all your phone info although it will come right back since its probably connected to google contacts and programs you already downloaded.

[Q] No Google Services on newly rooted s3

I recently rooted my at&t S3 and up until recently I haven't been able to use any google services. I first noticed it with the google play store when I opened the app it would say "No Connection" with a box underneath that said retry. No mater what I do it still persists. I've cleared the cache, attempted to uninstall updates but i would be stuck on the uninstall page indefinitely. I looked in the google accounts I was using and signed out of both of them but when I try to sign back in it tells me it can't establish a connection? I'm looking for a solution that doesn't involve me having to hard reset

Do you have a internet connection (3G-4G)? Are you notification icons gray or blue? (Blue = connected with Google)
Check to make sure you APNs to make sure they all match. You can also try to clear your Play Store's cache/data as well as clear your accounts info.

I have a steady connection. I've tried on wifi along with 4G and still nothing. I haven't been getting any notifications from google. Cleared all account data as well. I think the problem started when I used root app delete to clear up some unused system apps. I didn't disable any apps that that looked harmful but after the problem I enabled them all again.

Well then, chances are that you will have to reset it. Backup your stuff first though.
Apps/data -> Titanium Backup
Copy your personal files on a external SD or on your pc and contacts to your sim if they're not sync'd with your google account.
Playing with system apps is never a good idea (unless you really know what you're doing)
Another option would be to grab pre-rooted stock Odin for your carrier, you will still need to backup though.

I figured I'd end up resetting where do I find a thread on how to backup? I have titanium backup but I have no idea how to recover the files after the factory reset

TiBu will make a folder on your internal SD (named Titanium Backup), just save that folder on your pc or External SD if you're worried about your internal storage getting wiped.
Once your phone is back up, just restore with TiBu *don't restore any system apps*
