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...
Does anyone know of a way to open up a previously backed up contacts file inside of a 'Titanium Backup' backup file? In short, I want to retrieve a contact that I deleted without bringing everything back onto the phone.
Whats the easiest way to backup the S-Memo data. Using it for meetings and with the new ROM's I would like to backup the data. Where is the data held?
Thanks

Google sync does not work properly. If there are no memos on the phone and you try to sync back from google docs then it inserts the notes as pictures within notes. After a couple of such syncs the original note becomes a picture in a picture in a note. Needless to say the loss in resolution makes it impossible to read them.
A friend has the same problem so it is not just me. Does anyone know of a solution? The best would have been a folder that could simply be on the sdcard. I love using the S Memo application and just wish they had given some thought to the storage issue.
Thanks,
damn another unsolved thread!
for me syncing with "evernote" works fine, it also gives me the option to edit notes on the pc and sync it back to my phone, it is quite nice as my secretary shares a folder with me and she can send me in real time notes.
Unlike to Google evernote is really syncing, but this means if you delete a not or Snote then it is going to be deleted on the phone as well.

backup the S-Memo data

I have found a method of backing up the drawings / text from S-Memo exactly as they are (as in you are still able to draw and erase on them) but the backup process isn't exactly "easy".
NB: Now I am just going to assume that users who are reading this have never heard of Titanium Backup or are not familiar with the program.
====================
To backup S-Memo data:
1. Go into your app drawer and open the file explorer program My files (or any other file management program you have like Astro or ES etc).
2. Navigate to your external SD storage (/sdcard/External_SD) and create a folder there called Titanium (or any other name you desire). Once that's done you can exit.
3. Then you need to download the app Titanium Backup Free or Pro (Free version from Google Play here), Install.
4. Open Titanium Backup > click your phone's menu button > Preferences.
5. Select Backup folder location. Now, using your phone's back button to (suprise!) go back, navigate to the folder you created in step 1 of this guide (if you followed the guide it will be in /sdcard/External_SD/Titanium. After you are inside the folder you created, select Use the current folder. Now hit your phone's back button.
6. Still in Titanium Backup app, select the Backup / Restore tab from the top.
7. Scroll down and find the S-Memo app (screenshot 1 attached below). Single-tap it, then press the Backup ! button (screenshot 2).
8. Done!
p.s. Just a quick explanation of what we did, essentially we created a folder for Titanium Backup to store its backup files in a place that is not on the internal SD. Therefore if we decide to do a full system wipe which included the internal SD (whether deliberately or accidentally) our backup data would not be wiped with it (I think the default Titanium Backup location is /sdcard/TitaniumBackup i.e. on the internal SD for our phone).
====================
To restore S-Memo data:
1. Install Titanium Backup again (remember we wiped our phones, so the app is gone?).
2. Same process as steps 4 and 5 from above: Open Titanium Backup > phone's menu button > Preferences > Backup folder location > navigate to /sdcard/External_SD/Titanium (or wherever you saved it) > Use the current folder.
3. Now hit your phone's back button > then press the Backup / Restore tab.
4. Find the S-Memo app > select it > press Restore (screenshot 3). When you're done you can exit Titanium Backup.
Now here is where it gets interesting...
5. Open S-Memo... and you may notice the drawings / text you have created have been restored, but have one of the following problems:
- Image missing from the note preview.
- Only part of the image is visible in the note preview.
- The image preview is displaying something random.
This is what has happened: The drawings / text you have created from before have been restored, but the preview of the drawing / text has not been updated on your new system (I have no idea where S-Memo stores that). So if you select the drawing / text, it is an exact copy of the original, but you just can't see it in the S-Memo preview.
6. To get that preview back, do the following:
For drawings: Open the drawing > draw something (like a dot) > then you can erase it during the same drawing session > click Save.
For text: Open the text > type a letter or something > delete it during the same drawing session > click Save.
7. Now the preview of the note should accurately reflect the contents of the note!
====================
I'm not sure if there is another easier method than this, but I have been using this method successfully through multiple wipes (I should really stop messing around with system files ) to restore my S-Memos perfectly. A very long, but (I'm pretty sure!) a garuanteed method to work. If anyone else has another method do let us know.
Enjoy your restored notes
Retrieve original sketches which came with the Note
I seem to have lost the original sketches which came with my SNote. Does anyone know how I can retrieve them? I didn't back them up....
Anyone? Could anyone help me here?

You could try to search on the file system for the folder where the files are stored by the app.
Then use a file restore program to try and undelete the files.
ANd oh yeah, make BACKUPS! then you would not be in this situation (yes it is stating the obvious).
I have some additional info for users who update there Note app to the newer version.
You can use the same procedure as above to restore data + app.
Just rename the Smemo.apk, do a restore of app+data, remove the restored app, rename the newer Snote app to it's normal name and start it.
You will see some conversion, then it works (at least it did for me).
To restore the preview images, back up the /Sd Card/S-memo folder before you flash, then overwrite with your backup afterwards. The thumbnails / Previews are stored as ordinary JPGs.
Now if only I can manage to extract that folder from my nandroid backup... :silly:
why not use Titanium backup pro's cloud sync option - you can password protect all files too.
Even if my phone dropped to the bottom of the sea, i will always have my contacts, cal, apps and selected folders backed up and password protected online.
I have not tried restoring S memo data, but im sure TB pro will restore it fine.

That worked for me. Thanks !
This solution required device to be rooted first!
Or else nothing will work!
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
Twice now I have found my TB backup directory to be mysteriously empty. I have no clue why. Fortunately, I started using the sync to DropBox option. However, the files on DropBox were only my last backup and not all my back up files that I saved.
My question is, are there any recommendations to easily save a back up of all of my TB back up files, preferably on the phone and in a manner/location that won't be recognized by TB. Maybe as a compressed archive?

change the folder name. Backup files are stored in internal memory of the phone. named "TitaniumBackup". Change that name to any other. When u back up next time it will automatically generate another folder named " TitaniumBackup"

My recomendation is to take a backup in temporary cwm or if you use cocore kernel use twrp
if you want to use titanium backup rename it and take backup
