How can I prevent Android from auto-installing all of my apps? I usually install different ROMs regularly...

When I set up my account on a fresh ROM, I don't want my phone to start loading all of the apps that I had installed with the same account on previous ROM. I want to choose what I want reinstalled on a new version.

Can I control this behaviour or is there a another way around this?
Make sure to disable the auto-restore under Menu -&gt; Settings -&gt; Privacy -&gt; Automatic restore before installing a different ROM.
