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..

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.
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.
Menu -> Settings -> Privacy
Back up my data
Back up application data, Wi-Fi passwords, and other settings to Google servers.
Automatic restore
you had those two checked; they're asked when you are on the setup wizard.
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.

Is there a way to force auto install all my apps from the Play Store? It would be easier to have them all install and then use an Auto Uninstaller to remove the ones I don't really want than it is to download them all one by one.
I know sometimes when you flash a new rom or something, it takes over and auto downloads them all for you right away (Cyanogen for examples does that) but the ROM I'm on now never had that prompt come up.
Thanks for the help
You can use Titanium Backup Pro. Once all your apps are backed up with it you can batch install ALL of them (all apps together with the paid version, one by one with the free). It has other features tho to use other than that but its good for batch installing apps.

yea i know about titanium but i was hoping there was a way to do it from the play store rather than from backed up apks (that way we're at the same time using the most up to date versions of each app). like the way cyanogenmod automatically downloads every app you own from the play store right away the first time you open the play store.
You can use app2zip from the play store. It put whatever apps you want into a flashable zip so you can easily flash in cwm.

All of the stock-based ROMs I've used (currently using MikTouch 0.7 based on the OTA 1.63.531.2 ROM) have done this. As soon as I sign into my Google account, it begins syncing the contacts and downloading all my apps. That's why I typically let the phone sit for about 15-20 minutes after flashing a ROM and signing in.
Well it's all good. I already have pretty much everything installed one by one. I'm using Virtuous Inquistion and it never started to sync all my old apps, but it's all good. Everythings working great. And I'll back it all up with titanium for next time around.

I don't know how I did it but I think it was something like this. You just hit back up on the normal settings and google will restore it?
I've flashed my second ROM after I hit backup and all the apps started downloading from the PlayStore after the first log in. Does anyone know how to officially do this?
I know that this can be done using ADB (don't know how to use it but I know how to use the I9300 Int Tool Kit).
Going to hold off trying app2zip until the developer emails and confirms SuperNexus and Paranoid Android 4.1.2 on Siyah 1.7 is supported..It doesn't look to stable!
:highfive:
Btw, there is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531880 if you didn't know..
I was wondering about this as well: recently wiped and flashed a stock ROM and when I launched the Play Store for the first time, it began downloading all the apps that were in my account. I tapped 'cancel' as I didn't wan't all of them right away, then I had to install them one by one.
So it would be good if you could control this behaviour - for example to be able to check which apps you want downloaded and to install them automatically, yet in a bit more controlled manner.

I came to the conclusion that I'm okay with Titanium Backup for that purpose - bought the pro license a while ago - it can batch restore what you choose. It's slower than I expected at that, but at least you can leave the phone while the job runs.
for some reason this time all my apps auto installed.
shrugs. think i need to flash again, ill backup apps jsut in case, but hopefuly itl auto install again and i can delete the backup and only backup the data, not the apps.
Best way I have found to do this is to go to Settings > Backup & reset
Once there delete the existing account that exist.....
Wait a few minutes and it'll prompt you to put a backup account in....then reenter the same account.
This will prompt google to look at all your apps you currently own and the ones on your device and if not there will download it for you.
I discovered this when I factory reset my phone and when I restarted my phone it connected to a wi-fi network that required a sign-in process and as a result google attempted to download but was unable to.
Hope this helps.
Has anyone found any solution? Cause I have Titanium backup pro but I have read that it is not the best thing to restore apks... better reinstall them (especially for battery life)... There applist apps in market but they just store the link they don't download them automatically....
And I have apps on 2 seperate google accounts so just restoring during first sign in doesn't work well
Titanium backup is great. i use it. works great for installing apk's. but if you want to do it through the app store you have to let it run right when you first have the option. if you try to to it later youll have to do them all individualy

With free license, unfortunately, yeah, that's it, but PRO allows you to batch install and restore data for a chosen amount of apps. It also allows a creation of a recovery-flashable image, which is, from my experience, the fastest to deploy, but takes a while to create.

Well I install several ROMs and I found out that sometimes the Google Play store messes up before restoring all your apps. What I do is got into setup and remove my google account and then just readd it and off it goes downloading and syncing all your apps.

I've yet to try to see what happens if I detach apps from Play Store using TB. If it would prevent Play from rushing to download all the stuff (usually 100+ apps) when I first boot up a new install, it would be nice.
I am just amazed. IF this has been available to samsung users or if it's a ICS function, I'm still blown away but it.
If you are having problems, and want to do the Windows thing of restarting from scratch, take advantage of the included Outstanding Backup and Restore.
I had been suggested doing the backup and restore by Samsung for my wifi connect/reconnect issue with "N" (no, it doesn't seem to have resolved it) but I was hesitant to go through the PAIN of reinstallation of all my apps (about70).
I decided to bite the bullet and reset the phone. I rooted too so I expected the worse. Well, let me say, that as I am writing this, the phone is automatically reinstalling my apps after signing in to Google and my wifi network. This restored my entire set of apps in only a few minutes (I have 50 mb internet and 5Ghz N, so the phone does my full bandwidth).
It's still rooted. A new Android ID was issued (TI offered to restore the old one). The About Phone/Status page still says Modified at the bottom.
Data from apps like my FlightTracker have no information so that will have to be re-entered. Passwords for apps and sync (or specific sync settings like NOT syncing GDrive or Gmail,) are not restated.
If for whatever reason you decide to do this, don't hesitate.
google
it's not an ICS specific function but more of a google play (formerly google market) function.
Google play knows which apps you have installed from them and on which device.
When you reset your device and input your google credentials, it will propose you to put back the previously installed apps.
Just surf to
play . google . com
log on and it will reflect what you already have installed, it also knows what you have paid for (you can install a paid app on multiple devices and only have to pay once) and at the bottom in "my orders and settings" you can see the devices you own and give them a name.
you can also review and install applications remotely from there. Click on install and your device will start downloading and installing it.
Well coming from a GB device I never saw/realized that the market can install all the apps automatically.

Since I rooted my phone I wiped and installed it countless times with roms (cyanogen mostly) from android 2.2 to the current 4.0.4
I always check that automatic backup is enabled in the relevant setting but I never seen it working.. I thought it was supposed to restore apps, wifi passwords and so on when, after a wipe, I configure my Google account, but no luck, it never worked for me.
