I am on my second X1 phone and both phones when new had the option available for a "Blank Note" along with others (Meeting notes, Memo, Phone Memo and To Do) in the notes application. However the "Blank Note" option mysteriously disappeared after a few days on both the phones. It could be some installed application interfering with Notes but i haven't installed any application that has anything to do with the Notes application. And, in anycase rest of the templates are there and Notes appliation works fine as such without the blank note template. I recall missing the Blank Note template today after i went to "Global input Options" from the Notes Option menu. Is there a file or way to bring the "Blank Notes" option back? I've searched this and couple of forums but seems there's no similar problem reported elsewhere.
Another thing i've noticed is that the sorting order always initiates by "Name" and i have to select Sort by "date" everytime i open the notes application. Is this the same with everyone else??
hi
extracted those from my current rom, located under \My Documents\
should do to just extract the archive there (it's the complete Templates folder)
hope it helps
cheers

This is interesting...!!! I have all the files you sent in the templates folder and quite a few more as well!!! In my own Templates folder there seem to be templates for Excel and Word while others definately look like to be linked to the templates available in Notes application. These are *.pwi files that correspond to each of the *.dotx file (which i dont see in the Templates folder you sent me!!! ... strange!?!?). Did you leave out the .pwi files yourself from the templates folder you sent me??? Because what i think is that this is the missing link. I have all the .pwi files (Meeting notes.pwi, Memo.pwi, Phone memo.pwi and To Do.pwi) in my Templates folder EXCEPT "Blank.pwi". I think if i can get this "Blank.pwi" file then the option for a Blank Note should appear in Notes application. This also drives me to question you if you have the "Blank note" option available in your phone running Notes application??
If anyone else who has Blank note option available in his/her Notes application send me a copy of his/her Templates folder under My Documents, that will be great. Meanwhile i will try to create a blank note manually by deleting everything in an available note and try copying the note file in Templates folder as "Blank.pwi".
Edit: IT WORKED!!! I just copied an empty note file in the Templates folder, named it Blank.pwi and Viola..., the option for a blank note now appears in the Default Template option in Notes application. Thanks DrakenKorin for introducing me to the Templates folder . Does this mean i can create other templates as well?!?!?

Just a correction... all the notes template *.pwi files were in the folder that DrakenKorin sent. I just wasn't able to see them on my PC as it was hidding System files from me. So simply copy pasting DrakenKorin's Template folder should work as well.
Hi, I’m having a problem with the HTC Notes App on my Rogers HTC One. I have backed up a copy of the folder ".data\HtcNotes" on the SD card, thinking that this folder contains all my notes files. I then wiped my phone and started setup as a new phone. I tried restoring my backed up notes by replacing the folder ".data\HtcNotes" with the one I had backed up earlier but the Notes App does not recognize the restored files. the Notes App works fine, i.e I can create new notes without any problems.
Also, when I try to open the "contentE.html" stored for each note inside subfolders of ".data\HtcNotes", I get unreadable characters. This happens for my new and properly functioning notes as well. Does the Notes App store content in a non-standard html format?. It used to be that the Notes app stored the content in a file called "content.html" which was a normally readable html format, but now it stores in the non-readable " "contentE.html" file.
Please advise how to recover the content of my notes...is there a way I can open the "contentE.html" files in a readable format?. My notes are not synched to the clouds and are stored only locally on the phone.
Thanks
any suggestions?

you may have to reset the permissions of the files
you do this with ES File Explorer and highlight a file go to properties and set the permissions ... usually to rw-r-r but notes files may be different check one you just created and make the old ones the same
thanks for the suggestion, I am able to open the "contentE.html" of my old notes using an html editor or browser, but the file contains unreadable characters, as if I'm opening a binary file inside a text editor. The same thing happens for any new notes I create.
I remember in earlier versions of Android, the Notes app used to store the content in a file called "content.html" which was a normally readable html format, but now it stores it in a "contentE.html" file which is not readable by html editors...
attached is an example of the "contentE.html" file from a new note I've just created, it's supposed to be titled "w1" and contain only the word hello...if you try to open it you'll understand what I'm trying to describe...can you guys please check the "contentE.html" on your phone and let me know if you're able to open the file properly outside the Notes app...thanks...
guys need your help...can anyone please check the "contentE.html" located in numeric subfolders under ".data\HtcNotes" on the SD card and let me know if you're able to open the file properly outside the Notes app...thanks...
bump
i use colornote app, its free in playstore, you can sync with gmail,.. if you use another android phone just install same app, and your note will there to
BUMP!!
Having the same problem, did a factory reset of my phone and the files arer physically still intact, but I can't open them with Evernote app or HTC Notes app. Alle notes are stored in a folder with a .PNG and a .HTML file, the HTML file contains unreadable text. There's very important info in for me, which I need within a week. Can someone please help? I'm willing to do almost anything to be able to read my files...

Try this, create a new note in the HTC Notes app and save it (If it doesn't save, just write random words and exit, it should save then), then go to your .data/HtcNotes folder, find the folder that contains the note you just created. There should be an existing "ContentE.html" file. Delete it and replace it with the file you want to restore.

I think you're wasting your time, just having the ContentIE.hml file won't be enough, the actual database is stored in /data/data/com.htc.notes (i think), and without that, the app can't link to the contents of the sdcard.

My data folder is indeed empty. However, can't it just be enough to have the raw files from the .data/htcnotes/ folder? I have those, every note exists of a folder with a PNG and a HTML file. They're just not recognised by the Notes App.

Yes, but unless i'm mistaken, the Notes app will rely on the database file, which in turn would link to the contents on the sdcard... so even if the contents weren't on the sdcard they would still show up in the notes app, but not vice versa.
And I don't know of any way to reconstruct the database file.... maybe try searching for that.

Nobody found a way yet? right?
If you have a backup of your data (or data partition), you need to restore the contents of /data/data/com.htc.provider.notes (as well as com.htc.notes, i think) and set the file permissions by ES file explorer or sth. This is tested and works (I got this answer off google somewhere else, but since this xda thread is the first result that comes up for searches like "recover htc notes", I (necro-)posted the solution here).
Now comes the hard part: If you don't have backup of com.htc.provider.notes, here's how I suggest you hack it BUT I haven't tested: try adding a new note in an empty instance of the notes app. The file /data/data/com.htc.provider.notes/databases/notes.db will be an SQLite file. Open it with any SQLite editor on your computer and you see IDs and file names in its tables match with the created note in your /sdcard/.data/HtcNotes folder. See if you can modify the notes.db database by adding new rows in all related tables to make the app recognize your old HtcNotes files. Don't forget to change file permissions of notes.db after restoring it to your device (I gave rwx-rwx-rwx to everything I copied). If you're lucky and knowledgeable enough you might be able to fix it.
Lesson to learn: Sync, or use plain-text file next time for writing notes.

I have a HTC Sensation and I used the HTC Notes app often and so does my girlfriend on her Sensation. I recently changed ROMS on both our phones and have been trying to figure out how the hell to restore our notes. You indeed need to edit that notes.db as you mentioned. I know you didn't test it, but I just tried your suggestion and it did work on my first try. :victory: Here's what I did:
1) I opened the HTC Notes app and created a new note and named it Blah and saved it.
2) I used ES File Explorer to navigate to /data/data/com.htc.provider.notes. Then I copied the notes.db file to my microsd card.
3) I used DB Browser for SQLite to open the notes.db files that I copied to the card. Then clicked on the tab that says Browse Data, then in the drop down menu where it lets you pick a table, I choose notes. There you can see what notes the HTC Notes app will recognize.
4) The note I created earlier called Blah was on row 2, so I clicked on New Record and carefully made a new entry in row 3 with the same format as row 2. Just VERY carefully edit the columns that say: notebook_id, name, data, saved_time, last_modified_time, saving_time, ap_extra_info, thumdnail_path, widget_screenshot_path, and HTC_CREATED.
5) Verify the info you entered is correct fore ach column, then write changes to the database (File menu, Write Changes.)
6) I copied my now modified notes.db from my sdcard back to /data/data/com.htc.provider.notes ES File Explorer, changed the permissions of the file to match notes.db-journal,
7) And finally, I restarted the HTC Notes app, and the new note I added to the database was recognized.
I can think of a shorter way of doing this, but I''ll have to test it first. :fingers-crossed: Why did HTC have to complicate this? Why can't the app just read the files that are in the same folder or provide a refresh option to read any new files that may have been added to .data\HtcNotes at the very least?
Guys,
Do you know where i can view the application permission as it is not stored in the database. After, looking i found it is stored in the manifest.xml file after decoding the app, where developer write permission based on the application.
Also, do you know where i can look to find out if any application e.g installed application has more permissions than it should be. Do i have the correct idea compare the permissions using dab against the manifest.xml file.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there, i have created a project in Tasker to lock the device as administrator. it works great in Tasker, but when i export the project as apk, the exported apps doesn't show up in device administrator list. so, it no more works standalone.
i decoded the apk with apktool, and checked the manifest.xml. BIND_DEVICE_ADMIN permission presents there.
one more thing, the exported apk shows two package name, first one is which i gave, com.personal.mylockkk . but the second package name is different which i didn't set, net.dinglishch.android.taskerm .
Is this the reason for which it's not working? if so, then how to get ride of second package name. and if that's not the case, then how can I fix it?
Here are modules that enable most important missing features to all Garden devices except Cattail.
All this modules are created by me. My username on 4PDA is redmi9c
Security 6.0.2: (GameTurbo with Voice Changer, VideoToolbox, Sidebar, Power Slider for battery, Night Charge, Battery Health)
MiuiHome 4.26: (Full Context Menu with Split Screen and Floating Windows, Recommend option in Recents enabled for China ROM as well, and Max Grid increased to 6x8)
Settings: (Special Features section, option to set Split Screen on hotkey and Navigation Line)
Delete long name folder inside "\data\system\package_cache\", uninstall Security and MiuiHome updates, than install modules and reboot phone.
Settings module is only for Miui 12.
Needed Magisk to install them.
If you want pictures I can post them but you can also find them on 4PDA forums.
Great work
Now my phone's feels me quite refreshing but why I am seeing this
After flashing settings module settings have been renamed to extend wifi coverage
How I can fix it
Delete long name folder inside "\data\system\package_cache\", than reboot phone. There is only one folder there, it has very long name consisted from numbers and letters and you need to delete it. There is only cache in there. When you delete it, restart will take a bit longer than usual so don't panic and let it boot normally.
Thanks this is perfect and gives my phone features from the flagships
I don't know how to find this folder.. please help me.. can give some screenshots please?

That's because Xiaomi started updating Settings.apk. You can enable it yourself. Locate Settings.apk in "system/product/priv-app/Settings/Settings.apk". Copy it to somewhere else. Download MT Manager app, and find where you copied Settings.apk with MT Manager. Click on it, then click View. After that click on Classes.dex then "Dex Editor Plus", then on OK. From there to Search than "Start New Search" and in "Text Field" type from example "angelica" that is Redmi 9C. It will find 2 files. There just change your phone codename to something different like (angelica to xangelica) or something in both files. Than just go back and it will ask you to save it. From there just click on moded apk to see if Signature value is "Verified failed" in red, that means that it is OK. From there just copy moded APK to "/data/adb/modules/Settings/system/product/priv-app/Settings/" and replace Settings.apk. Then reboot phone, and if you see some glitches delete that long name folder inside "/data/system/package_cache" and reboot. If you don't want to mess with this you could just disable Magisk module, delete that folder inside "/data/system/package_cache" and reboot, than change settings in "Developer options", and enable module again and delete that folder inside "/data/system/package_cache" again. If you mess it and get bootloop just in TWRP go to file manager and navigate to "/data/adb/modules/" and delete Settings folder and reboot and module will be removed.
