I did a backup through backup pro and then flashed. And then I realized that I had a memo in my memo application with some important numbers (can find them again if needed, but...).
Is there a way to find where memos are saved?
Thanks!
Hmmm, good question but no idea... Can't find it right now.
you'll find the data itself below /dbdata/databases
unfortunately TitaniumBackup doesn't make a backup from this folder...
Hey guys whats the best way or is there a way to restore all your contacts and text messages after rom flash. After every flash I have to redo all my contacts with photos and lose all texts, I use titanium back up for the apps but they say not to restore system data with tibu. thanks
The green system settings should be ok to restore, [sms/mms/apn] dialer storage will have your texts,.and contact storage will have your contacts.
Just restore those individually. Works for me.
i keep all my contacts in google so i never have to restore those, and for sms/mms/call log backup and restores i use
sms backup +

I use My Backup Root. When you back up Data (not apk data), you are given a choice of what you want to back up. When you restore data, you are also given a choice of what to restore.
When you restore APK+ Data, you are restoring data from the apks, not system data (with My Backup, TiBu may be different).
The only downside to my backup is most roms don't preload it like tibu. You gave to download from market after every flash.
If this has been any help, please don't forget to hit Thank You.

if you copy the apk somewhere and put it in /data/app in the rom zip before you flash you won't have to download it from the market. Fyi
Interesting, anyways i just used Ti-Backup to reload my text messages
I backed up:
[SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage 2.2.1
And have none of my text messages on the new ROM. Granted it's nice to clear out, I had some things I wanted to keep
Should I have backed up:
[SMS/MMS PREFS] Messaging 2.2.1
Instead for future reference and purposes?

Have you rebooted since restoring that data? If not, do it.
Android Manager for me. No Google cloud needed. Also, you can export your contacts to a .vcf file before you flash and restore from it after. Do this within the Contacts app.
Yeah... the rebooting thing. My ignorance, and my apologies. All texts are back now

That's what I did. Long press .vcf and save to phone. Quick n easy.

It backs up your home screen, minus widgets. But I think it only works on touchwiz launchers.
And you can back up almost everything, contacts sms, apps, etc.for a detailed list, look on the market page.
If I'm wrong, those with more knowledge please clarify.

So yeah... I moved to hackdroid and I forgot to use some portable backup...I have the stock rom backup made by xrec and I made a backup of my data with the sony's backup and restore. I didint think that it wouldn't be in the new rom -.-' Mabe someone coud drop me a link to the app?
Anyone ? or is this just not possible?
one way would be to restore your xrec backup and then export your contacts to sd card. no need to use backup & restore!
Try this and next time, search.
there are many ways dude! ;D well i use mybackup its an app u can find on market
just backup contacts and u will be able to restore than them..anytime
I backup my Contacts using my Google account. Whenever I try to restore my contacts, I will just sync in to it.
@lorionl
Yeah I actually did that and it worked!
@Chris95X8
Srry, I just searched x8's forums...
@goldenr
Yeah I did that too now!I got the first one that came from searchTitanium or what its called...
@jkrauser2
I dont get it how does it work!That would be the second best option(restore from sim with I got a new one all empty..-.-)!
Where does the stock memo app store the memos?
The thing is I updated my rom, but before that I deleted and formated everything. I forgot to backup my memos and now I need to get them from the nandroidbackup that I saved on my computer... Any ideas?
Help please
Okay, I've managed to solve my problem
The stock memo app stores memos in a database file (/dbdata/databases/com.sec.android.app.memo).
What I did was: I took that database from a nandroid I made from my computer. I copied that db to my sdcard and then, using root explorer, moved that db to the correct directory. The next time I launched the memo app, it loaded the new database and my memos were there
I need to reflash a rom because my phone is constantly saying android.process acore has stopped and I cant use the phone properly, But I can access the storage.
I have been looking for what to backup to keep my memos but I cant seem to find anything.
There is no data/data or databases etc as suggested.
/data/data/PACKAGE_NAME/databases/.
/data/data/net.wzdworks.android.wzdmemo
These two suggested locations do not exist on my phone, but I can still access the memo and see all the notes just fine there.
I am running darkys 9.5 rom
code.
cp /dbdata/databases/com.sec.android.app.memo/Memo.db /mnt/sdcard/tmp/Memo.db
I don't see any of that.
I made a backup of everything on the phone.
Here are all the files on the phone.
://i40.tinypic.com/erztyq.jpg (put http on the front before the : to see the pic)
://i39.tinypic.com/2n7f28.jpg.
The files have to be there somewhere, Its incredible every place tells me to look in a different place.
I tried samsung kies to backup memos before I formatted and that kept crashing too, SO I just backed up the whole phone in the hopes someone can tell me how to access my memos from stores files, Or what to copy paste into my new install to get then back.
Oh and if someone could tell me where the contacts saves to phone are stored that would also help
Hi
It's easier than that!
Just sync your memo an contacts with Kies, install new ROM then sync again.
You'll have your memos back.
P.S. at lest worked for me
