[Q] auto install of apps after flashing new rom - why

---

hello
i noticed recently after moving to ICS, that after I flash a new rom, all my old apps start to download and install automatically.
Downside is I may not want all apps to install and then when an app installs it just installs but its old settings are not applied.
This never happened before when I was on GB.
I used to be able to batch install apps via titanium as well as restore the apps old settings.
is there a way to get back to what I am used to or have better control over apps re installing following the re flashing of a rom?
thanks

It's a default back and restore android feature, just reboot the phone or something, it's gonna stop it.

When you set up through setup wizard, it has a checkbox asking backup/restore checked. Just uncheck it. This was also in gingerbread setup wizard.

is this different than the option under Settings, Privacy - the 2 check boxes to "back up my settings" and "automatic restore"

do you use either of these or do you rely on an app to do this for you?
titanium or myback up pro?

thanks

Idk if its different, I just know I uncheck when doing setup wizard. I always manually install all 150-200 apps... It's a pain in the ass, but I know its cleaner that way over titanium backup and its faster than auto restore.

wow, thanks

i think i will try mybackup pro as it looks as if it can save and back up more things than titanium (sms, apns, ...).
with how frequent updates are coming out to roms i am looking for more convenience to get back up and running faster after taking the new rom

thanks, i also came over to caprom from speed and I think i am preferring it so far, although both are pretty good

thanks

Also I found this when I opened the market the first time too... Just git the X in the top right corner...

I opened market within 10 minutes of flashing the leak so I got/caught it early..

But ya.. Uncheck the option during setup

Option in TiBU

This only works for those of us on Rooted Systems using CWM and Titanium Backup Pro. May work on standard but IDK, I use Pro.
One of the best ways I found to have full control over what gets re-installed on a flash of a new ROM with or without the latest Gapps "Restore from Google Account" tick box is to First do a CWM Nandroid Back Up of the current ROM with all the apps you want to keep updated through Play Store.
On install of your New ROM in the setup wizard, set up your Google account, un-check the "Restore account from Google" if it is there. turn on and connect your WiFi if you want. Go to Playstore and install your Titanium Backup and Pro license. Set up your TiBu prefferances and reboot the phone. Sometimes this needs to be done to get TiBu all the way up and running. then launch TiBu and go to Menu>Extract from Nandroid. Surf to the clockworkmod folder if you have to and sellect the backup you made. It will take a minute or more but there will be a list of apps and an option to restore Apps+Data, Apps only or Data Only. Make your tick box app selections and then hit the green check mark at the top right in TiBu.
This is way faster than the Play Store download speed and if you select Apps + Data your games and such will be right where you left off.
Then you can go to Play Store>My Apps and update any apps that need it since the Nandriod Backup was done.

Titanium can backup your sms, bookmarks, call logs, and wifi access points...
