[Q] How to reinstall ATT apps without restoring firmware?

Hiya gang!
New member here. Thanks to this wonderful forum I have been able to update my Captivate to the most recent 2.1 Firmware JH7. I also ran Unleash the Beast to gain Root access, sideloading and to remove unneeded ATT and Samsung Bloat.
However, it didn't occur to me that the Memo app was part of that bloat that was going to be removed. Silly me.
I know there are more full featured Memopad type apps in the Market Place, however I really liked the simplicity and straight forwardness of the included Memo app. I found it very handy for jotting down random thoughts.
Sadly I didn't back these apps up before Unleash the Beast unleashed some deleting action on them.
So, anywhere I can obtain that Memo app from? Possible to extract it from a firmware?
Thanks!

Google is your friend. Try is sometimes it works wonders. I just googled what you were looking for and came up with a link to all the apk's on here http://208.100.42.21/showthread.php?t=712594

I'd take a look at "AK Notedpad". I too wanted a very simple note program and it's the best one I've found.

wizard memo in the market is a simple but nice memo pad.

[Q] JPO Missing Market Purchased Apps?

Ok i know theres info on fixing missing apps but searching yields nothing. Im hoping im not being too thick.
Anyway, upgraded firmware to JPO via Kies today and i seem to have lost a couple of apps from the market that I had originally purchased.
Audio Manager skins/ADW. skins, Slingplayer, extended controls to name a few
Can someone link me to info on how to fix this? Im sure there was an XDA app somewhere or at least info on how to resolve.
Thanks in advance
Just wanted to add that JPO is rooted, which im guessing is required to trick MArket into thinking im on 2.1 still

Hi. I believe that I have read that if you sign into your Google Account online that you should be able to follow links to your Android apps to see what you have installed / purchased.
I am not sure if you can re-install from here via usb or something but atleast you will be able to find them.
If Im wrong then please somebody correct me...

No thats not the issue. I know you can do that but some of the purchased apps are now missing from the download list... Thats the issue i have

OK siolved this annoying little prob and now I see all my missing apps in the download part of Market once again!!!!!1
Download 'Eris Market Fix' from the market and run it.
Its not for the SGS directly but it has been quoted in XDA as working and it worked for me!!!!!
SUPER!!!
REF: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596&highlight=market+fix

I've lost Cleartune Tuner, and Tricerasoft Karaoke.
They don't appear in my purchased apps list in Market, nor in Market searches.
How can I get my apps back? I have some version in MyBackup Pro, but if I can't get them from Market, I won't get any more updates :-(
How to fix this without root? I upgraded to JPO with KIES and I didn't expect it to steal my software

[Q] How to install aosp apps on doc rom

I have searched everywhere but can't find anything,
I would love to use the stock calendar app on doc's rom or any other rom for that matter. But i'm not able to find anything that works.
Does anyone know if this is even possible?
I've read that if you use the aosp mail app, the camera fc's.
But nothing about the calendar app.
I would love to know a bit more, I can't imagine it's that difficult.
There is a thread for stock eclair apps and I remember using them once, they seemed to work I recall.
If anyone knows a way I would love to know, I'm getting pretty frustrated with samsungs aproach to the calendar
Regards,

Any idea how to install aosp calendar?

It's in the market.
You'll have to uninstall the Samsung one first, then reboot.
Sent from my Captivate.

No. The AOSP calendar is NOT in the Market.
I have the same question: how to get a working AOSP calendar in Froyo???
But in this strange sgs community, everybody seems to love so much the TouchWizz Calendar!
Bllblb. It's ugly, not practical, and you cannot read the events titles directly from the week view.
I succeeded installing the Calendar from a CM6.1 Nexus1 Rom. But not the Calendar sync. So it works, but you cannot choose wich calendar to hide.
So. I'm not responsible for nothing, but you can try what I have done.
Download the rom here http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/files/file/187-update-cm-611-n1-signedzip/
Extract from system/app/calendar.apk
-> Or instead of 1. et 2. you can just download from here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18608283/Calendar.apk
On your sgs, use Root Explorer (or ADB if you know how). Delete (make backup first) TWcalendar.apk in system/app/ in your device.
Push the calendar.apk from the rom into system/app/ in your device.
Install it.
Reboot.
You're done. As I have said, the app works, but it Force Closes whenever you try to get in menu/more/calendars.
If somebody have an idea to get he whole thing working... It'd be great!

I don't think this is true either, where did you get this info from may I ask?
Thanks Judim but I have also tried that, had the same problem.
I'm using "Touch Calendar Free" at the moment, it's not as good as google's but still beats the living sh** out of samsungs...
Ah well if this thread bumps we'll just have to wait for CM7 to arrive or buy a Nexus S.
The first way is a bit cheaper though

Try also Business Calendar Beta from the Market. It could be a replacement waiting for a CM7.
I see you're also coming from the Hero... Small device but great CM roms
Cheers!

Here is an AOSP calendar app that I'm using on my Vibrant. It does have the fc issue when selecting more calendars, but does not have the dark bar at the top blocking week one of the month. It does have a skewed transparency up there, but its a mere annoyance and won't affect anything. Push to system/app. Oh the icon is ginger-green to match my rom, but thats all that I changed with the apk.

[Q] Google+ is in the market... but there is no download button???

I searched xda and the googleverse but can't seem to find this exact problem.
On my device, I have the new market running, and I can search, find, and pull up the Google+ app. Hooray! Except one thing: there is no option to download. The screenshots butt up to the top of the app's page, and there is no download, just screens and information...
Weird... so I tried the web-based marketplace... and it says my device is not compatible?
The nitty gritty:
Sprint Galaxy Tab
ROOTED Gingerbread, 2.3.4
And also, I am currently in Costa Rica, which I think may be the culprit (keep reading)
What I don't get is it seems that when an app is not available in your country, it should not appear in the Marketplace App on your device.
Secondly, what determines "my country"? Everything I have in that device points to Texas, everything except my current gps / internet wifi location.
What I don't understand too is why a week or two ago I downloaded it just fine (but I didnt have an invite yet so I uninstalled) and now, the download link is mysteriously gone...
SOLUTION? Yes, I simply found the latest apk and installed. What's interesting now is that in the marketplace I now have the option to open Google+, but not upgrade or uninstall...
I know I can simply keep finding and installing apk updates, but this is a pain in the butt... I want to update via the market!
So any thoughts as to why this app isn't playing nicely?!
Thanks for the input!
-Austin

So it seems as long as I restart my phone and do not apply any lcd density settings+ I can update and download google.plus no problem, but if I boot into / change the density, it dissappears... weird. If anyone else has this problem, know you know!

[SOLVED] How to backup Notes (Stock i9000b 2.3.6, Notes app)?

Hi all. I upgraded to an HTC One and I need to get my Notes (over 200) to my new phone.
I have the regular "Notes" app that came with a stock 2.3.6 rom I upgraded it too, but I remember the old iterations also having that exact same "Notes" app. I was exporting them one by one to my PC. But figured there should be a better way. I know most backup programs simply don't backup notes.
I also know there's a way to do it via ES-File Explorer with root access, which my phone has. But I don't know what's next. I tried to search the forums and could find much of help.
Thank you very much in advance.

You kidding me

I'm not kidding and these are the proper forums. Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting. The phone I need to save my notes from is a Samsung Galaxy S i9000b. What other forums should I be looking in, androidforums?
Unhelpful and plain jerky people like you are the only problem about being a newbie anywhere. It drives potentially valuable users away from nice and healthy online communities. Seen it quite a bit elsewhere.
Can some moderator or kind user have the amiability to at least point me in the direction where I could fool myself with a vague hope of getting any help, please?
I wouldn't be asking if I could on my own.

Thank you very much for your reply. I've been using Titanium Backup for quite a while as well, but mostly for uninstalling unneeded apps. I don't think the new Notes app is compatible with the old one, so I don't know of how much use would force-copying program's memory file (looks like a single one, unless I don't even know where to look) with Titanium Bk be.
I was thinking of maybe an app that converts those notes to some other or more usable format. Even better if it upgrades them to some other Notes program file. Uploading those notes online wherever could also work. Or perhaps a way to manage those from Kies. If I knew it would had come to this, I would had used any note app from the very beginning...

Try copying your notes to Colornote, sync the notes through, copy them back.

The copying the notes part is the one I'm trying to avoid. I did downloaded Colornote and it does looks really sweet.
But I checked and I have 211 notes to copy and would hate to have to do it one by one. So far, the best I've got is a smm file from Kies with all my notes in it. However, I haven't been able to find a single way to open this file in Windows, change its extension or how to export it to any app in Android.

Okay, I digged around settings and stuff for a bit, and under Settings -> Wireles and Network -> Synchronise there is an option to create a profile to sync memos (assumingly the stock memo app obviously). Haven't found this feature until now, so you could try play around with it?

Hey, that actually did helped! Didn't found that option you are telling me about, but found a way to Sync the Notes in the phone with those in Outlook via Samsung Kies (using latest Kies version, 2.5.3.13043_14).
Once that is done, it's pretty much problem solved.
What would come next is to put them online (can be done with Google or several other apps; I used Evernote, as my HTC came with it) and download them to the new phone. Anyone else needing additional details now, in a couple months, or a few years from now, please feel free to send me a PM.
