Google Backup setting in MIUI - Droid X General

hi all, got a question about a setting in MIUI i can't find. on stock and blur based roms there is an option in settings under privacy (i think) where you can enable or disable the option to back up and restore your settings from google's servers. when i first set up this rom (1.12.9) i enabled the option to backup and restore to google during the wizard, but now I can't find the option to disable it anywhere. does anyone know how to get to it?
btw I'm not talking about the account sync settings, I'm talking about the setting that controls the backup of your personal settings in android including wifi passwords, etc.
Thanks!

Hi,
I also couldn´t find this setting in the latest miui (2.3.23)
is not possible to backup settings and wifi password to google account when using miui?

[Q] Rooted Phone with Stock ROM & Reset

I have rooted my phone. Wanted to use Titanium Backup. Still running the stock ROM. Now I find myself in the situation to do a reset to change the primary email address. Can the standard method *#*#4636#*#* be used to blank this phone to change the primary email?
If not, what would you suggest.
Thanks - Dan
Settings > accounts > remove your account maybe?

[Q] restore wifi passwords and apps from google account issues

Hi,
So Ive looked and I cant seem to find an answer for this besides "select the back and restore option" and "use titanium backup".
Heres my issue:
Ive noticed that when I load different roms, sometimes at startup you go through the google account setup, sometimes you dont.
When you do, wifi passwords and apps are restored. yay!
When you dont, they are not restored. Even after you access the play store, enter your google account info, and select "backup and restore". In fact I think this may delete all your info.
Does anyone know if there is a way to do this for these roms that dont force or start with a standard google setup? Or what Im missing? Its just a pain if your switching roms a lot and Im hoping to figure out a workaround because titanium backup doesnt always work right when switching between two totally different rom versions and its just nice to get on wifi and start downloading stuff right away when you boot into a new rom..
Thanks!

QUESTION: How to delete Google's automatic backups?

Hey guys,
I did some searching and can't seem to find info regarding this. I was wondering if anyone knows how to delete old automatic device backups from their Google account? I'm referring to the question during (LP) setup that asks if you want to restore your apps/data from an old backup or choose to set it up as a new device. I've chosen to set up as a new device a few times, but then chose to back up the "new" device and now my list has a bunch of old backups that I'd like to clean up.. Anyone know if this is even possible? I've tried hiding old devices under my Play account, but that doesn't seem to hide them from the available choices during the setup of a new ROM.
Any help would be appreciated!

Restore apps and settings from previous phone

Hi,
I've received my Mi A1 yesterday in exchange for my Nexus 5X.
After powering on the phone, I could choose to restore from "the cloud". After entering my Google credentials, the phone didn't let met choose which backup I'd like to restore. On my 5X and also on the Nexus 5 it could choose a backup and then install all apps including (partially) app settings automatically.
Here on the Mi A1 no apps were restored and also if I install a previously used app from Google Play, the settings aren't restored. In the settings I've ticked the checkbox to restore app settings.
Does anyone have an idea about how to install all apps automatically or at least how to restore the app settings from the Google Drive backup?
I'm speaking about this feature:
https://www.androidcentral.com/how-restore-your-apps-and-settings-new-android-phone
Actually I got the option to import the app settings, call history from my old phone while setting up the phone.
I've got the hint to create a shortcut with Nova Launcher for the activity ".backup.component.CloudRestoreFlowActivity​" from the Google Play Services. But the issue is, that this activity is missing on my phone.
Could you check if it is available on your phone?
Experiencing the exact same problem
I'm experiencing the exact same problem. Were you able to solve it?
Check to see if the appdata is actually being backed up, in settings -> System -> Backup, and see when the last app data backup was performed. For many, some of those things are stuck in pending and don't actually get backed up.
Exact same issue
I have the exact same issue. Have you found a solution?
I had the same issue switching from a Nexus 6P (8.1) to Mi A1 (7.1.2).
Nothing got restored (WiFi Passwords, Call Log, ...)
I restored the apps with TitaniumBackup, because i rooted the phone anyway.
I wasn't able to find a solution. Instead I had to install everything manually...
