Starting Over? Can I ?

[Guest r1sk]

Hi ,

well i had my Nexus One, for few months now, and it was all cool and fun .

but i decided to get a fresh start with a new ROM that got out few days back ,

so i did a wipe , all the wipes i saw in the recovery ,

then i formated my sd card,

everything was great, i flashed my new rom on the phone ,

and everything was working just fine,

but the thing that got me confused was

that after few minutes working in my new ROM , setting everything up as i wanted,

i get a msg that says all my apps are synced , and i see that all of my 43 old apps

are re-installed on the phone again ,

and all i wanted was a fresh start to put just the apps i wanted..

i did it twice and the same happened every time ,

so i just hope it isn't the most stupid question out there..

but i did look for an answer and couldn't find anywhere...

so please HELP .

Thanks.

Uninstall the ones you do not want through the app manager, then wipe and flash.

That way, it will only automatically restore the ones you want.

The market doesnt know you don't want them, it just sees they vanished.

google backs up all the software you install on your phone and will restore it when you reflash a rom. what you should do to cut off that process is flash a new rom, and as soon as you sign in with your google account, restart your phone. that should stop googles restore process
