Apps restored after wipe

So I have wiped my phone a few times to install/update different roms. I have used titanium backup, however something happened last time and im not sure why. I upgraded from CM6 test 8 to RC3, and when I did and rebooted, after the sync icon was gone I got a message saying all my apps that I installed through the market were restored, and only those. No data was restored though. I wasnt aware this could happen without actually using a program to do it. I didnt install or launch titanium backup after the wipe. (I wiped data and cache before installing the rom).
Can someone point me to what is doing this?

What to do to reset my phone - newb question

OK, I've been having miscellaneous and very annoying problems with my phone ever since I updated to 2.2 OTA (I wasn't rooted before, I am now as of just a few days ago, and still running stock 2.2), so I want to wipe the phone to get it back to "factory" 2.2 and start over. I've already backed up my installed apps using Titanium, and I also installed AppBrain, so it should (if I understood the product description correctly) be able to download any non-purchased apps as well.
My question is, should I just do a Factory Data Reset (settings, privacy, factory data reset), or should I do something else in place of or in addition to that?

Ok if you have not done any flashing of any roms then I would unroot via however you rooted and do a full data cache wipe and factory reset ....if you have flashed roms or just want to be safe you can always reflash the sbf using these links and instructions

Thanks, I actually just bit the bullet earlier today and did a factory reset. Some of my widgets didn't reload correctly for some reason, so it took me a while to try to remember what each of them actually were...but other than that, after I re-rooted and restored everything via Titanium Backup, it seems to be working OK. Hopefully the various problems I was having before the reset won't come back!

Well since most of your problems were more than likely 2.2 related then they may come back but let's hope not .....maybe you should look into a good asop rom or.some of the others and you will more than likely experience far less problems if you go with a nicely built rom

[q] bluetooth peculiar issue

I had installed AOKP ICS ROM, in which theres a bluetooth not working issue, then I did davlik and cache wipe and installed AURORA 4.1a Over it.. Evrything was smooth except Blutooth continued to be non functional. Now I again did the double wipe and installed ELORA over it, and the Blutooth is still an issue. Is there any way to correct this without a complete wipe?

Hello jy0thish,
i think you can not avoid a full wipe. Every rom is different and if you don not delete the data it will cause problems with other roms.Thats why u need to do a full wipe before installing a new rom, You can backup SMS and contacts with SuperBackup and apps with TitaniumBackup. If the full wipe wipe is not the solution, than flash the gingerbread update by Huawei again, so you have a clean phone and try it again .
good luck

[Q] SPH-L900/Sprint USA - OMNI was working fine, now no mobile network services

Started with OMNI shown on galaxynote2root.com. Was working nearly flawlessly until today when I lost my mobile network (all services: phone, text, data - antenna was essentially gone). Not clear on exactly what I did when it occurred but I did flash 1/13/14 nightly manually via CWM (have done this with the previous nightly's without any problems). Tried wiping cache/data, Dalvik w/o luck. Tried formatting my internal SD also w/o luck. Doing a fresh install (as opposed to restore) did restore all mobile network services but of course I am now having to re-setup my phone. After installing fresh install, tried restoring w/o any wipe - again no luck.
Quite frustrating. I had read something out there that talked about remapping the tree (not sure what this means). In any case, is there a fix for this so I can restore my prior backups with mobile services working and also avoid this the future?

So here we go again; no service after wipe. Grrrrrrrr!!

So here we go again. Went to load the stock Sprint TouchWiz ROM. Wiped cache partition, wiped Dalvik, and did stand wipe cache/data. Had some issue with the stock ROM flashing so I went ahead and loaded my backup I just made of my newly setup OMNI ROM. And once again no network service what so ever. I really enjoy this ROM but it's thinks like this that push me back to the most supported ROM for my phone, the TouchWiz ROM. It's like I'm being held hostage to this Omni ROM in the sense that it appears that should I want do any wipe of any sorts or anything to that effect I'm essentially screwed and might as well just flash the the original ROM all over again.
There's got to be one of you Dev's out there that knows why this is happened and can let me know if there is a fix for this that will allow me to keep my setup as is. Someone who's knows, please response. If you need more info, please ask. I'm about to ditch this ROM over this issue. Otherwise, nearly flawless use of the ROM until this point.

Okay, so I was able to find a fix for this problem. After the complete wipe as described in my second post, I restored my recent backup. As mentioned above, no mobile service whatsoever at that pont. I then restarted back into CWM recovery and flashed the same version nightly as that of my backup and it appeared to do an update. I was then able to boot back into my restored backup with everything intact and all mobile services working.
Yes, I found a fix for myself but Devs why the heck do I have to go through that? Why cannot I not simply restore my backup and go on with life? Much headache over the past day or so over this.

So I installed the the 1/13/14 nightly as a fresh install. I stared messing around with advanced restore. When I restore only the /system folder that is when I lose all mobile cell services.

95% of my phone was removed! Need help

So I was with my journey to free some space, Suddenly I saw data_1, data_2 and data_3, So I removed them.... And now when i restarted my device.. mostly everything removed but gallery! What do I must do to restore my phone? The factory reset solution will be the last solution if nothing worked

Factory reset will not install deleted apps. Factory reset will delete every user-installed apps.
Reinstall rom. That's what I suggest. If you don't have any backup of your current rom.

It showed me after reinstallation" UID error " and that I need to wipe my data partition in order to use your device as stable. After I clicked (I'm Feeling Lucky) It took me to the launcher with the same things, nothing has been changed.. Other suggestions? Or do I have to wipe and relax?

What are you talking about? What exactly did you do?

I reinstalled the firmware, Nothing else.
I've taken my decision to wipe data..

What rom are you actually using?

Stock.
Thank you for helping as I fixed the problem by wiping data, my whatsapp, gallery, and music all restored!
