I usually install different roms regularly.. so when i set up my account on android on a fresh rom,i dont want the os to start loading the apps that i had installed with the same accound on previous rom.. i want to choose what i want reinstalled on a new version..

can i control this behaviour or is there a dirty hack to do this.

people saying that it does it automatically..give it time to sync... NO! this is not true..had it been auto syncing i would not have posted this question..it even starts installing many apps that i had uninstalled 2-3 months back.. and thats enough time to let it sync the list of android market app with the ones actively installed.

Please help. i am fed up of this behavior.

Thanks.

Make sure to disable the auto-restore under Menu -> Settings -> Privacy -> Automatic restore before installing a different ROM.
