I have a galaxy tab p1000 I have been trying to upgrade it for 3 days straight now with many tutorials from 2.2 froyo to anything newer but i keep coming back to square one - my old applications keep appearing after flashing/wiping.
It looks like there is some protection on the partitions that doesn't allow me to change/delete data on them.
I tried: restocking using Odin (with the pit and original firmware) recovery mode factory reset + cache + dalvik reset settings -> privacy -> factory reset removing the applications one by one.
Usually it shows me that they are removed but after restart everything returns. Many of the apps (3rd party and google) keep crashing all the time.
Nothing helps. each time i bring up the OS again the old apps appear again. Same happens after connecting to comp and manually deleting stuff - after unmount, they return (everything i deleted).
help ?
Automatic restore
inSettings -> Backup & reset
, you could try disabling this to prevent your previously installed apps from being reinstalled after flashing. – onik Nov 22 '12 at 10:27
