S-note Glitch/Error - Galaxy Note5 Themes and Apps

For the past 24 hours i havw all of a sudden had a glitch with s-note
I have a note created which is 3 pages in size.
If i open it and start making changes i am able to undo them.
If i go to page 2 or 3 and start making changes i dont get an option to undo.
If i then swipe to another page and back, I have the option to undo. But as soon as I write or delete anything I need to switch pages and back to undo.
Prior to 24hours ago this was not an issue and worked as it should.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this could be?
If someone could test there's by creating a new note, write something, create a second page, write something, save and exit, then reopen write on the first page then switch to the second and write and see if you have the same problem.
Thanks

If you are rooted then i suggest first backup your notes in the snote app, then erase the app with a root explorer program or via titanium backup,
reinstall the app. maybe reinstalling the app solves your problem.

I ended up doing a factory reset and restoring from a backup but it seems my issue has carried over. Does yours work fine or do you also have this issue?
Haven't rooted this one yet as I have a warranty deal with my service provider that includes free replacements if it gets lost stolen or broken. Haven't looked into it much but I remember the whole Knox issue with my last android and if they see its been rooted then no free replacements for me. If i can reverse the root without them knowing then I'll be rooting right now.

[Q] Deleting LARGE sms threads. Help!

So, I have a problem.
Sometime last year I got in the habit of backing up all my text messages with Titanium and restoring them across all the roms I flash. I have a Verizon Galaxy S4 now, but some of these texts are from back when I had my S3. So I have been restoring some of the same sms threads for almost a year now. There are alot of people that I text work related stuff to every night, and it's nice to be able to look back and see previous messages, as alot of the threads have pertinent information. Most of them aren't that large but there is one that I really want to delete (from my ex girlfriend) that was about 5 months worth of messages, almost 4500 texts that I really want to delete as it is just taking up space and there is no reason for it to be there. I use Go Sms Pro as my texting app and it works great for me.
So I thought nothing of just going in there long-pressing the thread and hitting delete. But all it did was hang with a prompt "deleting.." for about an hour, then froze and force closed. And when I rebooted the damn thread was STILL there. Every last message. So of course I tried the stock Samsung messaging app next, it did the same thing. Hang for a loooooong time then froze and force closed. Then I tried Super SMS quick delete off the play store. Also no dice.
Now I know I could just wipe/reflash and start from scratch on Text messages but I really don't wanna do that. Like I said, there is important information in some of the threads that I really don't wanna lose.
I know that messages are stored here: ./dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.telephony/mmssms.db
./data/data/com.jb.gosms/databases/gommssms.db but is there anyway I can edit that database to delete those? Or something else?
So can anyone advise me on this? I am a reasonably well-acquainted Android power user and can use adb well and follow directions.
I did do quite a bit of googling and found lots of people with the same problem and no solution.
I also searched through quite a few threads here on XDA but they were all two to three years old and not much in the way of solutions either.
Some help here anybody?

[Completed] Default APP issues Please help? note 5 5.5.1

I have a new note 5
this is my last day to tell Verizon to shove there 5 phone in the dark side
Whenever I open an email attachment it will ask only once what to use. And then its set to this app.
My issue is I have to open the same attachment with 2 sometimes 3 apps to complete what I need to do.
Adobe to copy,
Print share to print mobile. ETC.
Is there a way to always have the option to chose the app I need at the time I need it?
Or will I always have to go into app manager and clear the defaults every time..
This is a complete pain in the behind

Hello, this is herna from XDA Assist.
I understand what you want to explain, but as a suggestion, try to write a little better, and if possible only use number for referring to the phone and writing number with letters for other stuff.
Regarding your problem, no, there is not any way. It depends on the apps, and all that process is necessary since there are different options. The only way would be to the app developer add exactly the app to use. So you will have to do the 2/3 steps always, is how Android works and is the process you need to follow.
I wish this clarifies and help what you wanted to know,
cheers!

Question about .apk modding - possible to have it erase a database value on launch?

Hey guys,
I'm not sure if this is the best subforum to ask in, but I figured if anybody knew it would be you guys on XDA-devs.
I have a slightly modified Facebook .apk - what I did was take the last version before they bastardized the newsfeed and got rid of "most recent" (it's version 8.something), then open it up and remove a bunch of permissions that I didn't want it having. I left in obvious ones like GPS for checking in, but removed the stuff like "prevent phone from sleeping", drawing over other apps and other really obnoxious things that you normally couldn't opt out of.
I use it on a daily basis. I also hate Messenger - not only because it's two apps instead of one, but because of that same aforementioned issue... the drawing over other apps and there was no way to TURN NOTIFICATIONS OFF ENTIRELY, only for up to an hour.
Anyway, Facebook v8 already has a messenger built in. It's absolutely pointless to use the standalone one. However, there's a value that keeps being generated by their end that I can't control - at least not yet!
What happens is the first time you open messenger after signing in, it says "Upgrade to Messenger? Your friends are using it!" and you can choose "Not now" or upgrade. It does this for a day or two and then eventually the "not now" option goes away and it refuses to let you see your messages without "upgrading" despite the fact the app obviously has the ability to do it just fine.
After some experimentation, I discovered the fix. There are two values that get written in prefs.db (it's /data/data/com.facebook.katana/databases/prefs.db - not sure why prefs.db since it's not really a preferences but I digress)
If you open that up in SQLite Browser, there are three tables... open up "preferences" and there are two values:
/config/force_messenger/first_shown_1
/config/force_messenger/last_shown_1
Then there's a binary timestamp stored in another column in that row.
If I simply delete both of those and restart the app, it works!
But this is a bit annoying to have to do every couple days. I already have my development options set to force-close an app when I long-press the back button, so I was hoping it were possible to put a line of code in the .apk somewhere that just wipes those values, if present, when the app starts. There's nothing I can do about their server sticking those in there, as obviously they want to force people to use Messenger. I CAN just delete the values, though.
At the very least, some script I could set to auto-run (like kill the app and edit the .db) would work too, but I'm going to be getting a new phone soon and want to use it unrooted if possible... so I figured having this done from within the app itself would be a better idea.
Thanks in advance!

Need help migrating data from google pixel OG to note 10 plus

I had the original Google Pixel XL running Android 10. I upgraded a few days ago to a Samsung Galaxy Note 10 + because the battery on the Pixel was dying. I was going to fix it myself but a lot of posts I read regarding replacing the battery I saw people mentioning how it took them around 3 hours, and how a lot of them broke the screen. A new screen costs around $125 on eBay or more last I looked. The battery was only $15 or so. But I didn't want to risk breaking the screen, plus I kind of already wanted something different anyways.
The Note 10 + is running Android 9 where the Pixel is on 10.
Neither are rooted.
I was wondering if someone could recommend some apps so I can copy my apps + data (if possible) to the Note.
I have my apps and stuff backed up on the Google account...
So should I factory reset the note and sign into my Google account?
Like will that bring the data back.. or just the apps themselves without the data?
Because I want things to be as close as to where I left off as possible.
I don't want to have to re-login to everything, or re-setup the preferences / settings for each app.
Moving my pictures and music and all that isn't a problem.
I just need help moving apps, but not sure if I can move the data as well since neither phone is rooted.
Thanks in advance for those that take the time to help, happy holidays!
any ideas please?
All I can tell you is moving from am Essential PH-1 to a Pixel 3XL, letting Google to the setup as designed worked pretty well. You still have to transfer files/photos yourself.
But unless both devices are rooted and you can use something like TiBu to restore user apps data (never system), you may not be able to avoid having to log back into accounts.
I logged back into all accounts but now the issue is I have a few browser tabs with firefox that I'd like to have sent to my new phone.. and I don't want to do it one by one. If I just sign into firefox account on new drvice would that copy them to both... because I would hate to factory reset my old phone and lose my open tabs.
Because since they were created/opened on my old phone I'm not sure how to send those tabs to the new phone?

Firefox has a bookmarks service. Create a folder for all of the current tabs then bookmark them. Then log into the service on both devices.

All I can say is.. thank. you. so. much! This took minimal effort and was exactly what I wanted! Out of all the shortcuts I know I was unaware you could select multiple tabs and do things with them lol

Whatsapp data files - Help :(

Hello! I have a question about Whatsapp data files, I could really use your help.
I believe this is entirely my fault but I still want to ask, maybe there is a way to fix it?
So here’s my situation, I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 pro. The phone includes an option to do a deep clean and there is also a Whatsapp cleaner. It recommended me to delete the data files and I read online that there wouldn’t be an issue if I did that, so I did it.
I noticed my conversations were intact, but every image or audio file I sent were not available anymore. Inside any chat conversation I’d have to individually download images or voice notes sent to me and they were there. I was like, okay at least they still exist.
This is the weird part, I didn't want to download each file individually and while deciding what to do, my phone created a new backup at 2am, then I decided to Uninstall and Re-Install Whatsapp, based on what I read online. The problem it’s even worst now because I can’t even download previous voice notes or images from my contacts, like I was able to just a few hours ago. It says something like Sorry can’t download this right now, please try again later.
Is there a way I can get these back? I have very important voice notes that were sent to me that I don’t want to loose, also family pictures. I know it's a long shot, but there HAS to be a way, pleeeeeeeeeease. Give me at least 1% of hope!!
Thanks so much for your help!
