I just installed CM7 and there was the standard first start wizard.
There was a screen that said something about: search market for certain apps ... this can be done later ... eg after enabling wifi.
So I skipped it and now I can't find it again. I have no idea what it would have done either, but everything seems to be working. Can somebody please enlighten me regarding this?
Also all the apps I had before where somehow still installed and my wireless router was still connectable.
I expected, that it would be bare with nothing on it, especially because I selected wipe data and cache in RomManager.
Now I am wondering how this is done. Where my apps and access points backed up and then reinstalled in a "clean" cyanogenmod?
Anyway, seems, the cyanogen guys did a really good job, or is part of it because of RomManager?

Ok, this is solved. It came up again, after I rebooted my phone sometimes.

Froyo implemented automatic restore of your apps. You can disable this in Settings -> Privacy -> Automatic Restore. Thats how your apps was there.
And the market dialog box was coming from a app named "Market Apps Installer 1.0." Freeze it with Titanium Backup or find the .apk in /system/app/ and delete it.

Does that mean it automatically re-downloaded my apps from my market account?
I came from stock 2.3.3 on 9023, not from Froyo.
Question is, why was that market account and wifi setting still there? I thought I wiped the thing. And the settings where gone, just the apps where there.

1.5 -> 1.6 (Donut) -> 2.1 (Eclair) -> 2.2 (Froyo) -> 2.3 (Gingerbread)
When I say Froyo, it means Froyo and ABOVE. Any releases by anything is cumulative. Durrrr.
WiFi and settings are saved on the Google cloud. If you read what I said and ACTUALLY looked into what I said you would see it.

Back up my data
Back up application data, Wi-Fi passwords, and other settings to Google servers.

you had those two checked; they're asked when you are on the setup wizard.

Only problem I have is that after I backed up on Back up pro like I always do & works fine, That it will not find the files, Would not restore for that reason, Im not to happy with the FROYO 2.2 thing, other than that it works good & fast.
Can some one help me on how to restore after the update
???
I had the same issue....Back Up Pro could not find the apps. But I chalked it up to a different ROM. and reinstalled my apps the old fashioned way. I have since learned to list ny Apps so when I find the paid ones they will install.
So Im really worried about the data ? How can I get that, Is there another back up app better ? thats whats bothering me.
Use Titanium Backup. It now works with Froyo on the Captivate. Another option, for apps only, is to get an Appbrain account and sync your apps with Appbrain. That way, if the worst happens at least you can reinstall from there, but you won't have the data.

AppBrain has been brilliant for app restores for me. That is one thing I always hated about flashing roms/doing resets, and although you still have to click through the permissions, it works great. The fast web installer is awesome too...
yeah i just use appbrain
Titanium Backup is Better
TB (Titanium Backup) is better to use because it can restore not just the app, but the data and settings as well. All AB (Appbrain) does is perform a reinstall of the app minus any data you may have created with the app.
A good example would be your email app. With TB you would get back all your email configuration and settings. While with AB, you would have to go through the process of setting up your email account info all over again as well as any other config settings.
If you use LauncherPro, you know how tedious it is to set it up just the way you like. Use TB and you get it back just the way you left it without having to go through the lengthy customization process.

Restore apps only. Do not restore data or it could cause incompatibility and fc's.

Chainfire (edit) Darkstriker told me the same in i9000 faq thread. He seemed to think it's discussed everywhere and obvious. Well I've read through at least a couple of the most recent active threads on the topic, and certainly it is not posted everywhere and is not obvious.
Can you point to a thread detailing specific instances of problems? All the problems I've read about are with SYSTEM DATA... widegets and SMS mostly. I have not found anyone mentioning problems with normal app data.
edit: and BTW three apps failing out of a couple of hundred is a big so what.. so long as un-install and re-install of those apps fix it without messing up the whole system. I thought it's pretty hard for a single app to do too much damage to the whole system in android.
Hello,
For some reason with my Thunderbolt the apps in the market are not being backed up and re-installing themselves. On my Droid X whenever I would flash a ROM and go into market, all the previously installed apps would be queued up and re-install themselves. So naturally when I got the TB I was expecting this to happen, which it didn’t. I went ahead and re-installed all the apps for a couple days before I had a chance to go through the somewhat lengthy process of rooting. Well, got around to rooting last night and hoping that the apps would back themselves up now thinking maybe they would only re-install on the same device I flashed a ROM with no luck. Anyone have an idea of what could preventing this from happening on this phone?
When I look on market.android.com it shows the apps installed so I can’t re-install them from the comfort of the web. Any ideas?
Thanks
I had this problem before too. What I did was go into Settings - Applications, and find "Market". I then cleared the cache and the data. I cycled power to the phone and the next time I went into the Market app it added all my previously purchased and free apps correctly. Hope this helps!

I dont think the market does an automatic backup. And the history it keeps is sketchy at best, it looses alot of apps i had installed. Appbrain would be a better option, it doesnt autoreinstall, but will let you do batch installs. Even better would be a true backup app like Titanium backup, it backs up your apps and assosiated data. But with your current setup, you can tell the market to install the app again, it will work, even if it thinks it is already installed.
I installed some application from market and uninstalled some of them.
I did a factory reset and after that, the phone rebooted and I found the application including which I uninstalled are restored.
How to make sure the uninstalled application will not restored? Thanks.

settings, privacy.
I've tried using this feature and it doesn't work... doesn't restore, even with auto restore. Is it only for when you reset the phone? or everytime you uninstall and install apps?
This might be the one I need to uncheck them.
What I want is really that, if I removed some of the application, I would like have them not restored but others restored.
BTW: It only happens when I reset the phone.

Seems like it is my that dummy question:
others have asked about: how to remove android apps from my market account
I have the same request not to list the application I tried through the market.
One application that was installed in through market and I could not re-install it just because the market says I have already installed it. Damn android.
ok. Second issue is solved. I installed the application from the phone not from my pc.
But still I don't know how to remove android apps from my market account.
A huge list with all kind of free apps.
I have same problem. Don't know what to do.
Send from my awesome HTC Sensation + XDA Premium app.
So I went from Revolution HD to the Energy ROM and I noticed that all my apps would try and re-install themselves, even after I did a cache wipe, data reset/wipe, and dalvik cache wipe in CWM.
When I first ran the ROM and chose the settings, I would not allow google to backup, synch, etc automatically, I chose to do everything manually. And some of these apps are not paid versions or anything. I even formatted my mini-sd card and removd the Titanium app/data backups and the apps would STILL try to re-install themselves!??!
is your android market linked to your gmail. not the phone, the market, if so android remembers which apps you dl and will send automatically.
And there is no way of deleting this backup either, no matter what it says when you clear the check box for backup. That'll delete your settings on the phone but NOT the Market. Bloody annoying if you wanna start from scratch. By all means keep a note of what I've bought but if I wanna stop using certain apps then let me do it!!!
No way of getting around that. All apps will download automatically that has been linked to your gmail. From my experience, anyways...

Meant to add - OP, good team
Thanks for the reply guys.
Has it always been like that or is it a new feature with the new version of the Market?? I dont remember that happening when I had my old G1??
It came in with the last version of the Market. Handy for a lot of things but not for others!!
If you skip logging into google when you run through the setup, you can avoid the automatic reinstall of apps. (Add your google account manually after setup is complete.)

good observation, i thought it was strange when my apps didnt sync automatically after my last setup... now it makes sense, will definitely keep this in mind, super usefull info thanks!
I jump into the Market right after I flash a new ROM and hit stop and it cancels all the downloads. If you change ROMs a lot and let it download all the apps it'll run up your data usage and get you throttled. That's what happened to me anyway.

I didnt know that either. Good thing I only flash new ROMS at home and do any Market stuff over wifi.
But if I were to backup with Titanium, flash a ROM, skip the Google registration, and re-load my apps/data with Titanium, does that use network data??

Hi guys,
I flashed the 4.0.4 ROM for GSM (ported, not official), and no bug found.
but when I connect wifi, google start to sync app to my 9023.
the question is, it syncs lots of removed apps to my phone! some apps i tried before but removed later. and it dident sync some apps I really installed (never removed).
I googled it and found no answer
I have a root i9023GT with stock ics 4.0.3 before.
any idea? what will you do after flashing new ROM?
thanks in advance.
...what will you do when flashing new ROMs?
In market settings, uncheck auto install of updates.
In phone settings there's an entry to backup and restore your settings, wifi-passwords etc - disable that as well.
Thing is, those backups are a nice idea. Problem is Google saves everything, but doesn't let you delete old stuff. Whenever I use this feature I get settings restored from when I played with android on my old Xperia x1. And no, there's no solution for it now - had some lengthy mail-exchange with Google's support about it. Result: they're sorry and understand my problem. But...
Edit:
You can also try logging in to market on your PC and see if you can uninstall some old apps from there - don't bet on it though.
Hey, I don't have it with my nexus s on pics 4.0.4, but I do have a bug: if you look at running apps, they will all say 0.00B, except for settings. But I think its something of your personal settings..

thanks, I do like google backup very much, for I dont want to install every app when i have new ROM.
I googled it before i post but find a google group without answer.
I login to android market on PC but it seems there is no way to uninstall an app in it, only to install!
