Apps auto re-install after ROM flash?

Hi all,
I have read around the forum that once you flash a new ROM to your phone that all your apps will be automatically reloaded? (assuming you log into your Google account and you don't begin downloading apps as soon it reboots after the flash)
Is this true? I have never waited after a flash for the apps to "auto re-install" ... I just begin re-installing my apps straight after a flash, but it this necessary? It would be great if it's not, as re-installing everything everytime is very time consuming!
I am running CM 5.0.8, and I want to upgrade to CM 6.0 once Cyanogen releases it... (Thanks Cyanogen!!!! ) Assuming my understanding it correct, the apps should all auto re-install after I do a wipe and upgrade to CM 6.0 yes?
Thanks.
Cheers,
Ross

I thought that was a Gingerbread only feature?

Well it happened to me when I installed a modaco rom...was great

[Q] Flashing ROM without delete apps

Hello,
am I able to install a ROM without make a factory reset on my Galaxy S? I have around 50 apps and I don't want to install them again after I have flashed a ROM.

Unless you are already on the same firmware basis as the ROM you intend to install, most of your applications will not work after the upgrade.
Use titanium backup (from the market) to backup your apps and restore them after upgrading

I allready used Titanium Backup but you still have to apply everything (must click install on start of installation of an app).
I have downgraded from JPY to JPX with Odin and forgot to click re-partition but everything still works and I had no force closes.
Could it work if I just apply a JPY ROM without WIPE?
PS: I'm on JPX now.

Some ROMs are compatible for apps but there is no guarantee that it works both ways and that in fact all your apps still work. You can try. the worst thing that can happen is that you will have to factory reset/wipe dalvik cache when you find incompatibilities.

you dont have to do it that way.
you can use batch-mode for titanium which automates your desired processes

Yeah I've did it like that but there is still this "you want to install..." dialog where you have to click "OK"

[Q] Can't install apps

My phone will not install any apps. I was using Cognition 2.1 and I wanted to try different ROMS. I went back to stock using ODIN and then flashed Cognition 4. I couldn't install apps in Cognition so I tried various other ROMs. I'm not able to install apps in any of them. I went back to stock again. This time I did a master clear. I then flashed a new kernel and then Firefly 3. I still have the same problem. Everything else seems to work fine, but I can't get anything to install or uninstall. If I go to market and try from there, it won't do anything after I push OK. When I try to reinstall from Titanium Backup it will say "installing" forever without actually installing anything.
Firmware 2.2
Baseband version I9000UGJK4
Kernel 2.6.32.9 hardcore speedmod-1897-k13e-500hz#32
Build # Firefly 3.0
Does anyone have any idea what would cause this?

Wow you pretty much went through everything possible to fix that
Have you tried clearing your market's data/cache?
concider this a bump as I'm not sure what more could be done (beside maybe factory reset from cwm).

Having the same issue... Went Darky's 9.4 - Stock - Continuum v4.

I had a problem with not installing apps through market and I went ahead after trying everything and went back to stock and reflashed cognition
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

Glad to see i'm not the only one. i've tried flashing back to stock and everything, but everytime i reinstall cognition 4.3.2 i can't install any apps. I reflashed the cogkernel, flashed stock, but i always end up having to just reinstall 4.1 to get it working again.
EDIT: or i don't really reinstall 4.1 i just restore my backup of 4.1 again and it starts working again. And, i don't get the just infinite installing thing. when try to install apps, it just does the 3 vibration thing and reboots.
EDIT2: odd. i had tried doing a data cache wipe tons of times, and decided to try it one last time before i restored the backup, and now it works!

CM10 Helly Bean V10 -- Bootloop!

Hey all,
I installed CM10 Helly Bean (DerTeufel) port for Captivate V10 with full wipe.
It seemed to be working fine... fooled around a bit, tried out Google Now, etc.
Was restoring apps (not data) w/ Titanium Backup.. forget if it had finished or not...
Didn't try to run any of these programs or anything, just tried to unlock and the touchscreen was not responsive... Tried wiping cache+dalvik + fixing permissions... tried reinstalling ROM and GAPPS...
All are in a non-responsive bootloop.
I'm starting over now with another factory wipe... as of now it is stuck on "Welcome" Screen and touchscreen is not responding... AND.. it just restarted
Any ideas as to the problem... Was it Titanium Backup related? Should I resist running that again (assuming this ever works)?
I would post this on Development thread but I still don't have my 10 posts, heh, mostly a long-time lurker...
Thanks!

Worse than I thought!
So It's worse than I thought... I gave up and re-flashed slim (ICS)... and the same problem still exists... boots up, looks normal, can't touch anything.... eventually it reboots....
Suggestions?
Would ODIN flash do anything different? I9000 bootloaders?

sorry I'm just going to post twice so I can post to development...

What I can suggest is, go back to GB. Download a one click Odin w/ bootloaders, you can search that in the dev forum. After that flash it with a corn kernel so you can have a working CWM. And then Go to recovery, have a full wipe (data,cache,dalvik) TWICE and flash this--
Slimmed Down V10 by cbalt
Wipe Data/Factory Reset/Wipe Dalvik
Flash http://www.mediafire.com/?9p212pempybwnj3
Then Flash http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?bdjabcmobz6aw6k
Then Fix Permissions
Then Reboot

I can recommend you that one because it's the one the I'm currently using right now and I can say that it's working like a charm.
The method above is the one I'm using everytime I flash a ROM. I always do a full wipe so I won't be encountering any issues or whatsoever.
About TiBu, I am not sure if that's where the issue coming from because I've been using TiBu for a long time and haven't encountered that. Just always remember, if you are using backup using TiBu, just backup the User Apps+Data, DO NOT INCLUDE THE SYSTEM APP. Goodluck!

So you think w/bootloaders will help?
I have flashed every odin w/o bootloaders that I have access too and all get me stuck at ATT bootscreen....
Little hesitant to reflash my bootloaders since I was/am already on GB bootloaders, but if it might help I may have to do it...
I actually was on that JB version (but with the normal gapps b/c I wanted google now...)... now I'm on no version of anything hahah

I met a problem. I do not know wether or not it is common. The phone will reboot by itself sometimes.
Do you have the same problem?

same here
seems as though many of the problems experienced by one are shared by the other
this is logical as they share many common points including the same partition and both jellybean derivations
I was having issues... accelerometer and audio issues.
All came out right as rain after flashing back to stock and reflashing

I just cannot do a nandroid backup - help pls

Am on criskelo 11.2 with speedmod kernel 3.13.
All is fine, it appears I have root (titanium etc works) and a check with 'got root' returns an ok response.
The phone is behaving itself nicely and is nice and smooth.
The problem comes when I try and do a nandroid backup using cwm.
It gets a liitle way in and then freezes (forever!)
Things I've tried to cure this...
1) Rolling back to stock GB and then re-rooting, then full 3 wipes, then reinstall criskelo rom.
2) Rolling back to a pre-rooted GB rom, then all 3 wipes, then re-install croskelo
2) Flashing other kernels, notecore etc
3) Installing superuser 3.1.1.zip with cwm and its binary update.zip
4) Installing SuperSU app from play store - it says needs to update binaries, and when I try it just says 'installation failed!'
5) Installing superuser app from play, this time when I try and update binaries it does helpfully say ' remounting /system as rw... fail!'
which leads me to believe this is a root problem, even though no other app is complaining.
6) doing a search on this forum (before you all tell me to do this!)
I have been trying to solve this for over a week now, and it feels like I have read everything on this forum but I may have missed something.
Can anybody steer me in the right direction please?

Maybe you dont need a nandroid backup, it doesnt backup efs anyway.
Could be a kernel issue, or space issue. Not sure.

Cheers, you might be right, but I have always used nandroid before flashing a new rom,
may I ask what you use to backup then, when you change rom?

No I haven't Spyder, although I have tried a few different roms whic all have differing versions of cwm right?
which one is the latest then, and how do I install it, would it be an update zip?

I am a heavy flasher and prevent issues caused by restores to get a clean taste of roms. Nandroids I tried, but I havent found a rom I wanted to go back on always, flash so much that it just takes to long.
Efs with a tool in one if my threads, suggestion by Chasmodo. DrKetan has a good toolbox thread in general section.
I manually backup photos and such with a file explorer. Calander/Contacts/email in gmail,
whatsapp and special app stuff also manually transfer folder from sdcard and back.
Messages I dont care for. Neither made calls list.
Occasionally I do restore app if dissapeared from market with Titanium, but only app, not data. I save backups on external. Cause I clean sdcard also.

The latest version for Note N7K is 6.0.1.2.. chek the below link... download option is there

jonny, i feel your problem is due to partial root.
could you copy files into system in root explorer ?
did adaway work in applying hosts file ?
for criskelo rom too you should choose CF root kernel during the flashing process, then later you may change to your preference

Thanks baz & nokia, much appreciated.
I am running PA 1.99 now and it has the new cwm (you can tell because it has a grey background now!)
And rraaka, you are correct, I cannot copy anything to system
Not sure how I can get full root back though, I have used Dr Ketans rooting tool many times to try and cure this issue as well as flashing pre-rooted GB roms with Odin.
Not sure what else I can do.
But am starting to agree with baz now, I can do without nandroid (it takes ages anyway) and just use titanium to restore.
Everything is working fine with my partial root (except nandroid) anyway so not sure I care anymore!
Am enjoying Paranoid Android by the way, JB is fun.
I do miss the samsung apps though, I don't suppose those have been jellybeaned yet??

nope not yet, nothing Touchwizz like spen etc.
There is a cwm flashable of samsung apps that works pretty good on cm9, not sure if it works on cm10 or jb.
gaining full root shouldnt be to difficult, update binaries and then you know for sure.
The one that has worked wel for me is the ssu only zip from this post but then again thats on stock stuff.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1841288
For custom roms/kernels the ones supplied with it are build in to work out of the box.
Once fully clean install, a nandroid can work but thats fully clean

Thanks baz, am going to go back to the start (stock ICS) and try that link to try and get my full root back, looks interesting.

Ok, I have full root again now!
here's what I think I remember what I did...
Downloaded the first two Su & busybox zips using method1 on the link that Baz kindly shared with me and popped them on my sd card ready.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794
Downloaded and flashed the latest UK Carphone Warehouse stock ICS rom with odin.
Rebooted to stock recovery - applied update zip - flashed first the SU and then Busybox zips downloaded earlier.
Rebooted phone to check all was ok.
Located superSU app and ran it to check - and first it said it didn't recognise my phone model, hmmm...
So I downloaded mobile odin from play and flashed abyss 4.2 kernel
Rebooted to recovery, full 3 wipes and rebooted system.
Ran superSU again and magically it updated binaries and for the first time in 2 weeks it said 'sucessful', I was very pleased!
Rebooted to recovery and flashed Criskelo 11.2 again (have gone back to this from PA until things are a bit more stable)
Restored all my apps from TB all good.
Checked Adaway and it was more than happy to replace host file, and root explorer is also happy.
Cool
