[Q] Application backup/restore.

[BuddahWolf01]

I came from a hero running cyanogen6 I flashed many roms and nightlies while using the hero. If I remember correctly when I would factory reset to install a fresh Rom my Google account would automatically re-download the apps I had previously downloaded.

It was my understanding this was a standard feature of 2.2. But my shift does not do this.

So my question is "what is up?"
was this just a feature of cm6?
Is my phone the only one that doesn't do this?

Somebody set me straight on this issue, as it makes switching roms much more work.

Htc took it out. It's a feature of aosp 2.2 and above.

Well that was an easy answer.

So if I use an asop Rom it should auto download?

Yeah but probably not to what you were on your past aosp rom, but maybe what you got now.

Depends on the gapps ver.

On my heroc I kept two sets of gapps, one full and one tiny. They restored entirely different sets of apps everyime I flashed (for some reason, I just picked one randomly every day for about 3 1/2 months, loved aospMod.)

All I know is this worked when I came from the semi stock rom that I was using as my daily driver.

The only Shift ROM I've experianced this on is Evervolv. I believe CM7 should do this too but it's either not implemented for the Shift yet or not working.
