Does anyone know what it is in a ROM, that when you sign into Gmail, it downloads all your applications that were installed on your device? Ive noticed alot of ROM's lately that are lacking this feature, and was curious as to what allows a ROM to do this.
Thanks
Your market saves all your paid apps. The rest you have to have a backup with like titanium backup

no offense. really, but thats not true. if you use a g2, or nexus s, or cm7, when you sign into gmail ALL your apps re download back to your device
Oh right forgot bout that lol feel kinda dumb... But that is true.

It also happens in the Glacier.
My theory is this. the first time you sign into your Google account via a Android phone it picks up the phone model. and the first time you sign in it figures you just got that phone so it will re-download the apps to that phone. and once you change ROMs and resign in it think "hey this phone already as the apps" so it doesn't kick it to the new ROM.
In any case the best thing to do is use Titanium Backup.
Sounds like a good theory to me.

Check under settings /privacy /back up + auto restore. I believe that's what the initial setup access.
I don't like it, new rom = new app install, just easier to eliminate problems not related to rom.

This is not exactly a vibrant specific question, but since I have a vibrant and I don't know where else to post it.
If I buy a paid app in the market (I have never bought one before), and then I root the phone (delete everything on it) or change the phone how do I get those paid apps back without paying for them again?
They always show up under your "downloads" and you can download them again at any time.

but how if I have never create an account how does the market know that I Bought that app.
with my ipad it's ok. since I have to create an account to buy apps. So I get it, but with the android I don't understand since I haven't create any account to buy apps in the android market
You have to create a gmail account to even access the market. I dunno how you would've bypassed this...
And rooting the phone won't delete anything on it

^ its flashing custom roms that "deletes" apps... you have to have a Google account, the app will permanently be on your account and you can re-download the app anytime.
The apps are tied to your Google account, so there's no need to create sone sort of new account for the market. They will always be under downloads on any Android phone you will get.

the site gets device information from when you run the market on your phone, and custom roms show - and - for make and model... it probably has your phone info cached... so either it will soon change to -... or it will stay on HTC desire... solution would be to move to a stock- ish rom... im using GEO's FRF3D rom and it recognizes me corrently

Let me see if I understand what you're trying to do: you want to sign in to Market again, without deleting anything?
In that case, go to "Settings/Applications/Manage Applications", find Market, clear its data, run it - it'll ask you permissions to sign in.
Of, if you're actually looking to remove the account for whatever reason:
Settings --> Accounts & Sync --> Your Google Account --> Remove Account.

Hi all, encouraged by all the positive comments about JPK I decided to go on and install it.
All went well, rooted without trouble then went back to the stock kernel. I restored all the apps and system data with Titanium Backup and suddenly the process com.android.systemui (the top taskbar) crashed. I rebooted the phone but the error stayed.
I tried reflashing but this time I installed the apps from scratch and used Titanium to restore the apps data, after that the system responded very stable until an hour ago when the com.android.systemui error and crash appeared again.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any fixes?
I was on JPY before, I guess I'll try JS8 or go back to JPY
Thanks

never restore system data unless whatever ur running is the same thing you were running when you did the backup.
I absolutely agree with you. That's why I flashed again with no system data restore. But the process crashed once more.
Thanks for your input Runedrune

Best thing for contacts is to sync with Google. As soon as you sign in to market after wiping and flashing things all contacts are restored. Clean and simple and always on hand if you lose your phone.

As far as i know, but i could be wrong, you can only sync calendar & contacts via Google. So settings of your phone won't be backed up.
Success!! Thank you all for your suggestions. Gingerbread works smoothly now. Working through the first battery depleting cycles now, time will tell.
Sadly my car home app from samsung for the vibrant car dock doesn't work anymore. It does trigger car mode but it won't play the music through the dock's line out nor keep the screen on. Anyone else experienced this?
Maybe wait for a Gingerbread supported version of the app?

Im having a serious problem. Anytime I try to add to or create a new contact, it force closes. I can't in any way edit any contact. The process is com.motorola.contacts. I am on stock 2.3 rooted only. I had previously frozen all the social and yahoo authenticators and since had no adverse affects, went ahead and uninstalled them all. However this was about a week ago, but this problem with contacts began this past weekend. Im at a loss. I need to get this working again. Im very uncomfortable with unlocking my bootloader to reflash as I don't understand the terminology you pros use and afraid to ask for fear of being called stupid (again) by some pros. Any help? And please if you feel the need to make me feel like a complete moron, please bite your tongue. Thank you.

what all did you delete???? that could very well be your problem. i know on my galaxy tab 7 i deleted the email app and my cam force closed every time and would not work, put the app back and all was fixed.
Yes, probably your contacts get fc 'cause you deleted the yahoo authentication, and I think the contacts (if some of your contacts have a yahoo account) use this authentication, so if the contact app doesn't find the authentication app this fc.
And probably if you deleted others sys apps linked with the contact app, you'll still having fc.
So, what apps did you delete?
Anyway you can try install the app(s) again with rootexplorer

I suggest to freeze apps and don't uninstall them (unless you are 100% certain it's safe to delete).
I had the same problem as you, but in my case I just had frozen the authentication apps, which after I un-froze them, Contacts worked again.
Maybe a ROM reflash is what you need?

You can try this 2 ways:
1. With root explorer go to: system/app then look for the apps you deleted, tap and reinstall them.
2. Any way can't reinstall the apps, you may try a factory reset: setting/privacy/factory data reset (using this way all your data will be erased)

Some will. Well most of your 3rd party apps from the market will. Some of the system .apk's won't. For example, I like the HTC Facebook. chat app, but when i tried to install it on Black Ice, it kept failing. Probably because it is a cyanogen based rom.

MIUI has its own framework. Therefore, only those system apps will work on MIUI. Same goes for HTC. That's why it wouldn't work on Black Ice.
Also, just in case if you intend on trying to illegally distribute a paid app, some of them (I don't know how many, but probably many) have Market's legality check, and won't function when installed on a system they weren't purchased on.

No, you won't see it downloaded. But you won't have to pay twice - if you paid for an app on your phone and you have the same account on your tablet, you will be able to download it on the tablet as well without paying again - you'll see the app as "purchased".
