Disabling Auto Data Restore in Froyo Help - Fascinate Android Development

Alright,
So I found what I need to remove it from being enabled by default, but I cannot figure out enough to disable it via smali.
The code:
http://hi-android.info/src/com/android/settings/PrivacySettings.java.html
Specifically,
Code:
mBackup.setChecked(enable);
mAutoRestore.setEnabled(enable);
I just need to turn these off, I believe.
Smali code:
http://pastebin.com/LRv3tNdC
Any help is appreciated.
Another reason I hate smali code. I much rather have source. I'd already be done :/

removing these lines this should do what y
Code:
invoke-virtual {v2, p1}, Landroid/preference/CheckBoxPreference;->setChecked(Z)V
invoke-virtual {v2, p1}, Landroid/preference/CheckBoxPreference;->setEnabled(Z)V
invoke-virtual {v2, v3}, Landroid/preference/CheckBoxPreference;->setChecked(Z)V
invoke-virtual {v2, v3}, Landroid/preference/CheckBoxPreference;->setEnabled(Z)V
or if you want to explicitly disable it, this should do it:
Code:
invoke-virtual {v2, v4}, Landroid/preference/CheckBoxPreference;->setChecked(Z)V
invoke-virtual {v2, v4}, Landroid/preference/CheckBoxPreference;->setEnabled(Z)V
invoke-virtual {v2, v4}, Landroid/preference/CheckBoxPreference;->setChecked(Z)V
invoke-virtual {v2, v4}, Landroid/preference/CheckBoxPreference;->setEnabled(Z)V
invoke-virtual opcode means call a method:
opcode {object, parameter}, class;->method signature
Here is some further documentation I found somewhere. If anybody is interested.

looking at this code all this does is enable or disable the checkbox, is that what you want to do?
If you want to actually force disable the backupmanager when this method executes:
you probably need to do this:
Code:
invoke-interface {v0, v4}, Landroid/app/backup/IBackupManager;->setBackupEnabled(Z)V

Did you figure out how to stop this i would love to know how to stop it from auto installing apps so i can just use titanium because every time it does it i get a lot of apps i don't even use anymore and spend forever deleting them

Until this gets figured out here is a work around I've been using. In TiBu, go to option, more, and create "update.zip". This will put a cwm flashable zip on your SD card that you can use to put TiBu back and everything else before entering your gmail info and giving OTA access to unwanted app downloads. After you restore what you want you can go to manage applications and clear market info so when you finally log on and go to the market it "should" only populate the apps you have installed already in 'my apps'. This might not totally work but it should cut back on unwanted downloads. Let me know if this method works out better for you.

You can avoid this by skipping account creations at first boot, just hit skip skip next skip. Then you can go into settings and make sure data backup is unchecked. This prevents automatic data backup/restore when you do log into your account. Now log into your Google account. During setup it will ask if you want your data backed up, make sure to uncheck that! It actually comes up with a message that asks if you really want to delete existing backups on Google servers? Of course you do want it to so this won't happen again.
No tweaks, no ADB, no apk's, no TiBu update.zip. All running a clean install of Superclean 2.8, follow those steps and once done you can relax, install TiBu and restore what you want.

X2 That is the best way to do it to start fresh, I do it all the time especially if I start a new rom and want to narrow down a troublesome battery killer.

I will have to experiment with this next time I change my ROM. I'm wondering if it will have any adverse effects on reboots when wiping cache for patches or themes. Do you know to what extent the auto backup/restore saves settings? Does it backup everything to google in which case deleting backups on the servers once and unchecking the box would fix this for good?

Where is this setting? Last time I flashed I set this to 'no' during the setup. But is there someplace to check/set this under settings somewhere?

Wow, I think this worked. Thanks.
One question, does disabling backup inhibit the backing up of my contacts, emails addresses, etc?

I think its not quite this simple. Questions in my mind:
Are all the contacts Google Contacts, Phone contacts, or a combination of both? Also do contacts carry over if you do a Data wipe/restore. (I'm not sure of the answer to that since all my contacts are Google contacts.)

I'm not sure what you guys are asking. All my contacts are Google contacts and they have not been affected at all. This will not affect your contacts, at least not Google contacts. Do what I did, take the time to put all your contacts in Google, contacts problem solved. This prevents the apps from being restored by Google. Every time I change Roms I wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe Dalvik cache, then I follow the directions I posted here. Like others have said I can go from wiped to back and running in 10 minutes . I even started backing up some of the settings so I don't have to enter wifi passwords and such. It just works.
