This is my very first time posting here and I really didn't know where should i look for help other than here, so... Hello there, XDA community.
It goes like this: Several months ago, I accidentally deleted a note in S Memo from my Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337, rooted stock Kitkat 4.4.2). Recently, when I realized that I actually need it, I have looked upon several solutions, one of them being exploring the thumbnail cache folder of the S Memo app (/storage/emulated/0/Application/SMemo/cache), which gave me the cache files but among them I didn't find the lost note. Now, if the cache files were packed inside a regular image extension, I would have no problems recovering them with any usual android file recovery tool, but unfortunately they are basically .png files packed inside a weird extension (.sfm to be exact, literally by changing the extension in the file name to .png they become viewable). Since there isn't any software that is able to recover files with that extension, what are the options?
How hard is it to compile an actual app which would dig up the folder for the note? (I've done some basic programming stuff when I was younger and I do have an idea how it all works)
Where are actual S Memo files stored? Is it easier to recover them instead of cache?
Also, since I'm rooted, is it possible to turn the phone into a mass storage device and trick the computer so I could look up for the note using PC file recovery tools?
The case is really urgent.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
D.

Hello im not sure if this is the right kind of forum to ask this but, Ive seen someone extract images of cards from an android game, when I asked him how he did it he said he went into the games data files, which I assumed is in the Android > data > then the game files folder. I checked there however most of the files were in a format which the phone couldn't read. Is there a section here that explains this. Thank you
Hi,
More than likely you need to go into the .apk and use a tool to extract the contents. But to find a clearer answer I would advice to look here

Best of luck!
Just purchased my galaxy tab s. When I found out how it behaves with external memory rooted it at once, did the thing for read/write permissions, disabled this weird safety feature and... It does not alow editing files to any program which causes a big problem when I try to use "iGO" navigator for example which keeps its files on SD, or use some office program to edit any content on SD... It does alow creating and deleting files though.
Any ideas? Many thanks in advance!

Hi Guys
I am mucking around with the new phronesis Note 5 rom on my Note 3
I have a burst shot camera issue and a file that apparantly fixes it called seccamera.jar
Im guessing I need to replace the original with this? Can someone step me through what I need to do?
Ok I overwrite the original with this one using root explorer, no difference unfortunatly though
Hello,
Did you set the permissions correctly when you pushed it to system? System files require the correct permissions or they won't function correctly in system. This may not apply to what you are doing though.

Hi
I'm trying to restore my phone back to the standard settings using a .backup file that someone on the xda forums was kind enough to upload. The problem though, is that clockworkmod doesn't appear to find the file. I think I found the problem though.
CWM appears to have a different way of saving backups. Instead of just having a .backup file, it has a folder with the date I made a backup to test, and in that are the boot & system (etc...) files.
How would I go about solving this?
