Is there a way to stop or disable the auto download of apps? Whenever I try a new ROM and enter my google account info it then starts downloading all apps but I want to use Titanium Backup to restore my apps.
Don't put your gmail account right away when you load the new rom. That will do it.
For me, I had to manually uninstall the apps from within the market, then un-check backup settings from within the accounts/sync menu, I believe. Because as soon as I signed in to google, the download would start.

Hi everyone,
just wondering as I did my first order (BlueEx) for my Dream machine.
What happens if I format my device (install another cooked rom)? do I lost my application? do I download it again for free as I have the same gmail account? is there any way of grabing my apk install file?
thanks for your help, sure it's just 1.4€ for the moment, but if I went for documents2go or any other more expensive app (wisepilot....), I would not format my device anymore!
paid apps can be downloaded from the market again at no cost, but yes you will have to reinstall everything.
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knew how to get your paid apps. moved from original gmail account to another gmail account. (Going to delete original account) Thanks.
You can pull the app off of your device using adb pull. I believe some backup apps can also backup apk files onto sdcard. One thing to note is that if you reinstall your own backup from a file rather than the market, you will not be able to get updates from the market. Only apps installed using the market app will show up on the Downloaded list (and thus be updatable without a repurchase).
Also, if the app in question is a protected app (not all paid apps are) then you will need root to pull it out of app-protected.
I wonder if there isn't some way to transfer your Market app licenses from one gmail account to another. You might have to contact Android Market support about it.

I figured it out, first you wipe in Recovery then Reboot, log into original Gmail account (The one with your purchased Apps.) go into Market and redownload your purchased Apps., now get out of Market and go to Settings/Applications/Manage applications, scroll down till you get to Google Apps, click on that and press Clear data now Reboot and go back to Market and it'll ask you to log in again, log in with new Gmail account and all your stuff will sync, Contacts ect... and after a few minutes your purchased Apps. will show up in My downloads.

Thank you for the Tutorial - it worked for me until I wanted to install a Update of a purchased App:
they are all shown in My downloads & Market tells me that there is a Update available. When I click update it shows me the Buy button & the Price of the app?!
What can I do now? Any ideas?
Hi,
This is probably a n00b question but I am going to ask anyway.
I want to do the following:
First time I install new Custom Rom I register with a google account and download apps from market. So after downloading some 60 apps I want to unregister my google account and remove my default account. The only way I can remove my default account is by doing a wipe.
So Is there a way I can extract the APKs of all the 60 apps I have installed and then Do a wipe and then install the apks again to regain my 60 apps but no google default account ?
Thanks
Backup / Restore n00b
if youre rooted you can try titanium back up or else I would recommend mybackup pro (theres a trial version) it will back up apks and data (sms/contacts/email etc)
app Manager for the apk. can also select and simultanious Installations (there are also many others, see above).
sms backup & restore. awesome app for sms Backup to SD card or Your Mailacount without using gmail sync. everything is free. there is also a call log app and apn backup app from the same developer!

AppBrain will do this too.
You can pull the '.apk's using the "adb pull" command and then push them back afterwards.
Or if you're on a custom ROM you can use apps2sd to store the apps on your sdcard then they will be reimported after you install your new ROM after wipe. This may depend on which ROM your using though, not sure.
Hello.
I wanted to start my N1 from scratch in terms of apps and such, so I did a factory reset, but after signing in with m google account, it started to restore my previous apps. Is there anyway to stop that from downloading the apps again?
Thanks in advance.

When you first sign in, after the push the droid, there should be a few check boxes that say something about backup and restore.
You could also test out if you uninstall the applications before you wipe the phone and leave the download tab in the market (could take a day or so) your account will no longer remember those applications and not try to reinstall any of them.
The method evilkorn describes does not always work, at least not for me.
Here is what I do, which works every time:
1. When you are first given the option to enter your google account, click skip.
2. Leave the syncing and backup options enabled if you wish, they won't affect the auto-restore for this session.
3. Once you get to your homescreen, launch Gmail and enter in your Google account information.
Now you should be good to go without any restored applications.
Settings --> privacy --> uncheck "backup..."
Hey long time lurker, so heres the rundown.
I just updated my N1 from Cyanogenmod 7.1 RC1 to 7.1 Final by doing a fresh install and wiping 'errthing and then restoring using Titanium Backup. However I keep getting a popup that says "Google Talk authentication failed" that won't go away and does not allow me to use the Google Market.
I tried to go into the "talk" app via my app drawer but it just ends up hanging on the sign in. Normally I don't ever use Google Talk or Google Voice but I tried setting up my Voice account to counteract this but still nothing helped.
Should I restore to 7.1 RC1 and just update (without wiping anything) and see how that turns out or can I somehow patch it up?
Thanks!
I would try deleting data from Talk, Gmail, Market, and Google Services Framework first...
Perhaps even fix permissions from within ROM Manager...
I actually ended up re-installing the ROM from scratch and instead of linking it to my Google account right away I simply restored all my apps +data (didn't restore data on Google apps) and rebooted.
After that I added my Google account to the phone and everything just worked.
Thanks for the advice though, that's probably what I could have done and not needed to re-instal.
Just encountered this problem and fixed it by using Titanium Backup (I use pro edition) as follows:
1)Open TB and hit the menu button
2) click the Market tools button
3) select Market Doctor
4) select user and system apps
let it run through and market works again and no more google talk error messages.
Didn't have to wipe/reset anything!
Gotta love TB!
Hello. I was wondering how to restore all my apps. I want to be able to log in with my account so all my settings such as homescreens, apps and setting are restored. Also that all apps i had installed are automatically downloaded into my device
