Hello all,
After rooting my Samsung Galaxy SII (Resurection remix) there was no notes-app on my phone anymore. Also all my notes disappeared when I checked the files using PC/ File explorer. I couldn't find the location of them in my mapstructure. Does anyone know a way to recover/ find these notes since there are some very important ones I really need.
I saw a post like this last year but no one seemed to know the answer...
Thnx!
I'm struggling to read between the lines here, but have you come from a stock Samsung ROM to an AOSP ROM in the process of "rooting"? If so, you won't have Samsung's Memo app anymore which would have stored its data in /dada/data/com.sec.android.app.memo/databases/Memo.db
It would be contained within any nandroid backup.
About the ROM-thing: Yes, that is correct. It's now an AOSP ROM. I'm pretty noob, as you can see, so don't do these things very often
Also the map you described is not on my phone anymore. The app I used is:
"app backup & restore". For some reason the note files are the only ones which are gone.

I recently updated my wife's phone and lost the memo app. I thought nothing of it, because I do not use it myself, but she is pretty disappointed about it being gone.
So, first my question - will the stock fascinate Memo app run on EB01?
and second my request - could someone hook me with a link to DL it? I have looked and looked to no avail. I have found the backup of it in Titanium Backup, but Restore is not an option (prompting the question of whether it can run in EB01), and I would really like to get it back for her.
I did find this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=930430 but the link is dead... Likewise, I thought to use Rom Manager, however I have read that it is not compatible with the new CWM, and if I open it, it tell me I need to flash CWM, which I don;t think I should do on EB01 SC2.4V... Really at a loss on this.
Any assist is greatly appreciated.
nobody? nothing?
Did u try just extracting the apk and using root explorer and just dropping it into system/app folder and rebooting? I find this will work for most apps that wont install directly or through cwm.
Edit. Here is a link. Hope it helps.

I guess I am confused on that line - I have seen that recommendation for other apps and issues, but I do not know where to find the apk - that is where my issue really lies...
TB does show it listed, just no restore option, and I am unable to locate the apk anywhere - market or web (so far)
I do appreciate the look...

exactly what I have been searching for - thank you so very much.
<ETA> how come you rock so hard? That was exactly the fix I was looking for and we are back to happy land. I sincerely appreciate the assist.
No problem

My wife is the same way..she wanted the stock note app. But I finally convinced her to switch to color note because you can't restore the notes..so even if you get the app back..every time there is an update she will lose her notes.

backup samsung memo database
this might be too little or too late for some of you but maybe not for others ..
I found the samsung fascinate memo stores everything in ...
/dbdata/databases/com.sec.android.app.memo/memo.db
if you have root access, you can copy this file to sdcard or through other method.
you can then restore it after you reimage (I assume you can) I haven't tried it yet. again I assume you need root to restore it ...
also - it is a SQLite database - so you can use "SQLite Database Browser by tabuleiro" on your PC to see all the notes. it's available on sourceforge.
click on second tab "Browse Data" - then choose table called "memo" and you will see all the memos show up in a table. double click each one and you can export, or just copy/paste.
probably a moderately skilled SQL admin can get all the data extracted with a few queries.
I was thinking of attempting to create an app that would back it up and restore or export. perhaps it could work with any db on the device.
Hi, everyone. I'm new, and i just realize "rooting" will speed up my phone.
I'm totally newbie, i need a tutorial which have more details and attached file for me to help me out.
my phone is I9000M.
And the other question is: what is the definition of ROM, FLASH, ROOT?

Rooting
Rooting is the method in which the user gains 'root access'. Root access is a linux term and is used to define the abilities of the super user account, akin to the 'administrator' account in Windows. This account can modify and change anything on the OS it resides. So when your phone is 'rooted' it is not broken, you are merely in complete control of your phones OS, cool huh?
But what does this mean? Most people don't even realise they aren't in complete control. Well there are a few benefits to having a rooted phone, but there are two big ones. Custom ROMs, and apps.
Firstly, apps. Because you are now in complete control, you can grant apps super user access that require them to work. Such as taking a screen shot of your phone, taking a comprehensive backup of your important data, using the flash as torch light or enjoying an ad-free Android!
Custom ROMs
Firstly what is a Custom ROM? Well a ROM, is actually a colloquial shortened version of 'ROM Image' which in turn is short for 'Read Only Memory Image', and dates back to the cartridge gaming days. Remember slotting that thing into your sega mega drive? or your N64? Anyway, back on track, it's basically an entire OS in a file called an image. So a 'ROM' is a file with an OS in it. Now a 'Custom ROM' is a ROM that has been customised, simple enough, yes? Nearly every device comes with a 'custom' ROM on it, bar two phones so far, the Nexus One and the Nexus S. They are the 'pure' androids so to speak.
So for every phone, there is a ROM preinstalled, this is the ROM the manufacturer has usually developed for that specific handset, or a range of handsets. These preinstalled ROMs usually include a lot of junk called 'bloatware', essentially just apps and links that can't be deleted that you may or may not want. You don't get a choice! The beauty of custom ROMs is you can delete and add anything you like to them!
FLASH
Flashing is the method you use to put a Custom ROM on a phone. Flashable packages are zip files that can be installed by Flashing using a tool like ClockWorkMod.
Let me point you in this direction for your i9000 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=748
Goodluck!
Hi all,
While removing bloatware from my Galaxy Tab (after restoring back from CM9), I accidentally removed the pen memo and pen memo floating app using Titanium Backup. As someone recently got me a stylus for my birthday (and having disdained them for a long time), I'm curious to see if these work well after all. Can anyone upload the APKs for these two programs (the main app alone would be fine as well)? Greatly appreciated, thanks!
P.S. : I don't know if I'm missing something really obvious, but the first thing I tried was to pull the APKs out of the .img file I flashed to restore the device to stock, and I'm having no luck whatsoever opening it through Windows, Mac OS X, or Ubuntu. Anyone know the way of doing this so I don't have to bother everyone about the matter? Thanks!

Amm.. can you make yourself clear? You are on Stock HC3.2 and dont have stock apps? u should have when u say u re flashed to stock.
If u havent got stock ROMs get it from here if u have GT-P7510 or here if u have GT-P7500. you have to flash using your PC with Odin3-v1.85 and putting your tab in download mode.
Hey,
I did have the stock apps to begin with, but if you look at my post you'll see I was removing unnecessary applications via Titanium Backup. Usually I don't use the pen memo applications, so I removed it without thinking too much about it (and didn't realize it until later, after I'd set up the device). It's not a critical loss, but I would appreciate it if anyone had the APK handy.
I would also like to have this apk. I'm on AOSP JB ALPHA and this apk it really great. Also if someone has Accuweather apk from stock rom....
Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3. I hated embedded system applications. (Samsung Sinema, ChatOn etc.)
I downloaded Odin etc, and made it root to delete these apps.
But after that, I confused. I wondered, "Could it be dangerous?"
(This is always like that, I made something. And after i research. Always my fault..)
As far as i learned, if my android is root, everything is possible. (To get my Gmail and other passwords, replace apps)
Actually I chickened out. But I do not know how can i rollback.
My questions are :
1- Is it enough to factory reset? Or do I need to make additional processes?
2- Is it too late? Are all my personal information with other persons now? Do I need to change my all passwords?
Thanks in advance.
1. flash an unrooted rom
2. haha no
1: follow the guides of unrooting (in General section)
2: I know what you did last summer
I did post this in the forum specific to my device, but I though I'd look for help elsewhere too, since the question is more basic to Android, and not really just my phone.
I recently rooted my LG G Pro 2 smartphone, did some stuff and everything was great. I was using CCleaner to remove some unneeded apps, but apparently, I removed the basic "phone" system app that allows the phone's cellular modem to work and make phone calls and texts (I'm thinking of it like a Windows driver, rather than a Windows software app). The unit works fine (WiFi, internet, and such), but I cannot make phone calls or texts, and I have NO bars (reception) at all.
So, here's the question: Can just adding in that system app back into the OS be done, or am I screwed?
I read two ideas...
One was to try and find a "phone.apk" and add it back to the data folder. But then I was unsure if "phone"apk" files are the same on all android phones or if each manufacturer has unique phone apk for each device.
The other idea I heard was to do a full restore, which would be OK, but then someone else suggested that if I deleted the phone apk, that I might have also screwed up the possibility of restoring the phone.
Finally, I used an undelete software after this incident, and the undeleter found a lot of apks and zip files, and I recovered those to a storage file on the SD card for now. But the problem there is that the files all just have number for names (for example, like "recovered_file_342579.apk or .zip). I have no idea if any of these are the phone file I deleted. I feel like I should be able to identify these files somehow, and just re-insert the phone file back to where it was.
What do you guys think?
Reflash your rom. Or flash a new one. Restore will not work. Trying to drop in a dialer apk will probably be a big headache you don't want to deal with.

Part of the problem I'm running into now is that I can't find ROM for this phone. I googled, and a couple websites listed stock ROM, but then the links don't work. Device-specific forum here on XDA doesn't list any actual ROMs, either. This phone was in the upper eschelon of LG's line couple years ago, and is still pretty good by today's standards. I find it hard to believe I cannot find some kind of working ROM for this thing.
Is using a D838 ROM (or whatever the equivalent American model is called) OK to use on a South Korean model that I have (F350S)?
I'd still like to know if I can just re-install whatever phone file I erased and get phone function back again.
