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!

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...
Hello!
I had a problem with Titanium Backup:
I installed the last Revolution HD rom (6.2.0) but after the flashing, no Titanium backup folder on my memory card, so I lost all my apps and my settings!
But, when I logged on my Google account, all my apps were downloaded and my settings (like my saved wifi hotspot) were back!
Someone have an idea what's happened?
Thanks
Hello here
is there any way that the apps that we download from the Google play are automatically saved on my sd card so that i dont have to download them..thnx
Use some app like app backup and restore from play store.
U can use rom toolbox..

The closest thing I think would be a Backup/Restore tool like Titanium Backup (though root is required) http://matrixrewriter.com/android/
Use appinstaller you can backup your roms with it which will create a apk
Sent from my DHD supercharged with ICS.
There is an app called Auto App Organizer. Free and paid version. Makes a backup of apk at either install, uninstall, or both. ROM toolbox does as well on uninstall.
If you are rooted, grab Root Explorer (file manager), go to root of phone (not sd), open "data" folder and then "app" folder.
You'll find all your apk's there.
Use apk extractor its free easy to use.

I don't know of any applications that automatically backup .apks when they are intially downloaded from the Google Play Store, but Go Backup will let you schedule regular automatic backups. It can do .apks alone without root, and .apks+data with root.
Use an app that backs it up and restores it

Auto App Organizer does this at installation, and also at uninstallation.
It will categorize your apps, keep track of when there are updates ready, etc.....
You would think I am selling this app, but I use titanium backup. This one is automatic at install. You don't have to do anything but set your preferences. It takes it from there.
It is exactly what you are looking for.
Hi,
how can i prevent, that Google Play Downloads all my 200 Apps in my clean new Rom installation...
i have all the time speed issues,
and now i wanna tray, only install needed apps...
but every time i install clean rom,
add my google account, and go into Playstore, the Download starts...
You should have put this under Q&A
after setup google account, I turn off wifi, data to prevent auto download applications form play store and using titanium backup to restore my applications
but this is no Solution...
i also use Titanium Backup,
if i restore 15 apps...
and than i visit the first time Google Play Store,
the other 185 apps starts to downoad...
is there a setting, in Titanium Backup, to prevent Playstore to start the downloads...
Maybe change any ID, that google Play store means, i have an new Mobile
Just deselect the "Restore" option in the "Backup and Restore" page of the Welcome Wizard.
I think that deselecting the Restore won't get you anywhere...
What I've found is that the phone automatically downloads different apps for the sense ROMs and different for non-sense. Since sense has different storage locations than other ROMs I'm sure that data telling the playstore what to download is on the phone and I it should be on the SD card since it's still there after a full wipe. Now all we have to do is find the directory where that data is stored and delete it before we flash a new ROM.
A ROM dev would surely know where this directory is, but I'll try to find it...
If someone knows, do tell us
Play Store downloads the same apps for any ROM, sense or not. There's no difference. And the downloaded apps are stored in the same directory in all Android ROMs which is /data/app. Just not selecting the 'restore from this Google account' option during initial should be enough. Even if Play Store setup starts downloading apps, force stop it and then put back all your apps using Titanium Backup or something like that.

Also there is a option in Titanium backup to detach user & system apps from the Market. I think that after you force stop the market you should do this and solve your problem
Usually when that happens to me, I go to the My Apps page in the market and just press the Stop All button.

Nope, just regular apps, like Google Chrome!

Try to restore one by one.

I have had this frustrating and once perplexing issue several times. I now know what the issue is and how to fix it.
("Market Link" is the term TB uses for The Play Store)
The Issue is that the "Market Link" that Titanium Backup uses to "restore" the app (non system downloaded from The Market) is "broken" The "Market Link" TB saved doesn't match your phone's Android I.D.#..
Allot of times after flashing (or OTA) a Rom your Android I.D.# will change. TB will even ask you if you want to use the new one or keep the old one..
TB does not make a "nanadroid type" of backup for an App to be backed up. What it does is copy the Apps "Market Link" so that when you "restore" the App TB DOWNLOADS the App and INSTALLS the App with a "FRESH" download of it..
THE FIX;
1) Uninstall TB and its Pro Key if you have one. Settings> Application Manager> Clear Data in both the TB app and Key> Uninstall.
2) Delete the Titanium Backup folder that is on your phone's Internal (root) sdcard. (You don't want to simply just download and install TB again because it will use this same "corrupt" backup folder)
I rebooted after this.
3) Clear Data and Cache in the Play Store Application and Google Play Services. Settings> Application Manager> All> Google Play Store and Google Play Services.
Now back completely out of the settings menu and open the Play Store Application. Accept Terms. Download Titanium Backup and Pro Key if you have one. Open Titanium Backup and make a backup of all your User and System apps.
You now have a complete backup with the correct Market Links associated with your current Android I.D. Titanium Backup will now work as intended! ..

Thanks for this post and sorry for the dead thread revival but I have a question.
I'm experiencing this exact scenario, except... now I have cleared all the data and caches etc, I want to restore the backed up app data that I took before switching OS! If I clear Play Store & Play Services data and cache, reinstall TiBu and take a complete backup... Then I'll just have a couple of apps, and no data! Do you mean to copy the previous backup files onto the phone afterwards and then try to restore again?
I am having the exact same problem right now . I need to restore the old backup . can you please help
I have very strange issue here. I am using Whatsapp since 2013. I am using it on same number although that number is not with me anymore and I cannot have it also. So I am using it just the way it is. I changed my phone from Sony Xperia C to LG Optimus L90 to OnePlus 2 to Redmi Note 5 Pro to Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 to Redmi Note 7 Pro. Every time whatsapp restore worked well. I do format and clean install new version of custom ROM. Everytime, I backed up whatsapp and restored it after install and it worked.
Only this time when I decided to move from Redmi Note 7 pro to Redmi Note 8 pro, it failed unexpectedly.
Not only app, it failed to restore even data.
Now this Redmi Note 8 pro has Android 11 and all my previous phones were having till Android 10. Is this the issue?
Where should I check the logs? and How to correct this?

I flashed ResurrectionRemix based on Android 10 on Redmi Note 8 Pro and Whatsapp restore worked well.
Now since Redmi Note 8 pro crashed and I moved back to Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 and was working fine. I am using ResurrectionRemix based on Android 10 on Asus.
Yesterday when I tried to flash Spark ROM based on Android 11 on Asus, Whatsapp restored again failed. Same issue which I faced while switching to Redmi Note 8 pro.
I think Android 10 backup cant be restored to Android 11.
I havent tried to restore other backup (taken on Android 10) to Android 11 so cant confirm that.
I have raised this on Titanium Backup official Site and logged a complaint but no acknowledgement even after 3 months.
