Default Auto Install All My Apps

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.
Current: Galaxy Note 2

Old Device: MyTouch 4G Slide
Rooted: Yes/S-OFF via Juopunutbear
ROM:MikXE v4

Device: Galaxy S2 (Wifey's phone)
Rooted: YES
ROM: Stock
Kernel: Original


Backup: T-Mobile G1 (Trooper!)
Oldies: TouchPro 2 (R.I.P. Greatness)
MT3G Slide (STOLEN!!!)

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.
Phone: MyTouch 4G Slide
ROM: Miktouch 0.7 with Genius Button and Liquid Smooth Rosie
Kernel: Stock HTC 2.6.35.13
HBOOT: 1.45.0013 S-OFF, Unlocked.
Radio: 11.59.3504.20_2

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!


Btw, there is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....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.
