I'm getting force closes from the apps that google is restoring on first boot. how do i disable this automatic app installation?
Uncheck "Automatic restore" and "Back up my settings" under Settings>Privacy. Also, when you flash a new ROM and go through the setup portion, you'll get a check box that comes up that asks you about this. Make sure you uncheck it as well. It took a flash or two to make this go away, but as long as you do this as part of your setup you won't see it the next time you flash.
Easy way, don't enter google info during setup. When your ready, go to accounts and sync, set it up, uncheck restore apps.

+1 if you skip entering in your gmail info @ boot they won't load...then what I do afterwards I go to the market to download mybackup pro and restore everything that way... Sure, it makes you puffing your Google info to use the market but it shouldn't just start downloading when you do that...

Everytime I flash a new ROM and setup my google account it automatically restores 19 apps and something that disables my google navigation. I have tried going into privacy setting and uncheck backup assistant before I log in but it still for some reason backed up that data and screwed up my nav. Any one know how to get rid of backup adsistant?

flash new rom, boot phone, before signing in to google, if your phone has file manager on it, go into system/apps and rename backup assistant to .bak....then you can sign into google and not have anything go through BA
Thanks I will try that
I _think_ that's handled in the google account settings not backup assistant. I don't know exactly the setting to change, but I get around it by setting up google account, not checking "backup my device data with google" and then if i go into the market and see it downloading apps i simply reboot phone before it finishes. It only does it the first time on the device for me. Since making a conscientious effort to remove the backup checkmark mine hasn't been doing it.

This.
also yo can go into settings>privacy and unchecked backup which should clear your existing Google backup.
I did all those unchecking steps but for some reason it would continue to load some apps. Changing the name of the backup assistant app in root explorer did the trick. Thanks

The proper way is before you flash the zip, go in, system -> app -> delete GoogleBackupTransport.apk and recompile.
Hello bought S3 from Three and when i flash stock room it always reinstalls these apps: Facebook, BBC iPlayer, Twitter, and 1 other cant remember. I know that google din't backup to my account, that setting is disabled. but when i flashed CM9 it din't install any apps, that happens only from Stock Room's. So it must keep them some where in device storage as a backup, hm i'm confused
If you put your Google account details in during the initial setup, play store will reinstall your apps.
Skip the initial setup and then add your Google account later. That way the apps won't download automatically.

Actually the setup wizard asks you if you:
1) Want to allow google to restore your previous settings and
2) want to allow google to backup your settings from now on.
Both on the same screen. I turn these off as google backup wastes valuable batteryl
Thats the thing it reinstalls these apps before the setup wizzard

But when installing CM9 rom all ok no updates. so something with Stock Rom. Maybe in couple of days or next week i will Flash another rom maybe i can get some videos. I also tried in the backup setting to tick and untick "Back up my data" then i'm getting a message "Stop backing up ... and delete all copies from Google Servers?" but still nothing stil the same.
Also i'm not sure if this is related but also on SD card getting these 2 files: efsbackup.tar.gz and efsdev-mmcblk0p3.img.gz
No seriously WTF just installed omega 9 same thing happen, before the setup wizard screen, it's installing apps Three, Facebook, Twitter, Smart Care, BBC iPlayer.
Ok using Root explorer, i found a folder "preload" and it has all the files includes so will delete and report back when i install new rom, does it restore again (from some where)
**** sake... just installed MIUI rom same thing.... what the hell samsung did....
So it was early alright. I wanted to make a Tasker profile in which it reboots every morning at 7 AM. Now what I did was create a new profile and select the time. However, stupid mistake as it was: I selected to reboot From 7 AM, but didn't define a Until time. You are free to facepalm at this point in time.
To put it bluntly: My phone reboots the second it is booted. Every time.
Now, what I have tried to make it stop:
Go into tasker, deselect the profile (Didn't work)
Go into tasker, delete the profile (Didn't work. It said it couldn't write to the SD card at that point)
Go into tasker, turn tasker off completely (Didn't work)
Go into recovery, delete the whole Tasker folder -thinking it would contain the profiles- (Didn't work)
Any way to delete that specific profile, or Tasker as a whole?
Thanks in advance!
I'm not sure how much time you got before boot and reboot. But if you have time to delete the profile / folder, you can uninstall Tasker right?
Anyways, it will be there in your play store account. You can install it without paying again.
Reboot to twrp recovery and use the file manager to delete the tasker apk from the data folder. I assume you have twrp as cwm doesn't have this feature.
As soon as it boots up try to uninstall tasker.
Rename the thread to user error, tasker is far from stupid

Go to play store on your laptop, orders and settings, find tasker and press the delete button and it will uninstall.
Or search tasker in play store (make sure you are logged into your account!) And delete it from there. Nothing to do with your phone. As soon as it boots up it will uninstall tasker
I finally figured out how to backup and restore all of my non-gmail email accounts, without having to go through the setup process for each account after flashing a new rom or any other time I do a reset for whatever reason.
Backup/Restore Method:
Simply install Kies on your PC or Mac, turn "USB debugging" on under "Developer Options" and connect you device to your computer. Once connected, click the Backup/Restore tab in Kies and scroll down to the "account information & settings" section. Select "email account information" and click the backup button. Now you've got a copy of the settings for all of your non-gmail accounts on your computer. Whenever you need to restore them, just connect to Kies and perform a restore. After the restore completes, open the email app & click "show all folders" under each account. Hope this helps someone out as much as it has me!
** NOTE: It appears that the MJE update removed the "PUSH" sync option for imap accounts, so you may want to double check your sync settings if you were using "push" prior to the update.

I use titanium to backup accounts, works great. Even backs up Haxsync and Facebook.
I am not able to login to "Box" to setup cloud backups via App Manager settings. I can only login to Drive or Dropbox. When I click on Box a white window pops up and then quickly goes away.
Even when selecting apps to backup I go to Backup to Cloud and select Box but the message "You must login first" appears. Again for the other two services it goes straight into the login procedure.
Why doesn't Box work for Rom Toolbox Pro App Manager Cloud Backup?
Try the age old trick
Wipe data
Uninstall the app
clear cache and reboot
Reinstall and try
