Infuse stock notes *solved see page 2*

When rooting and going with a custom rom I lost my notes app that came on the phone. Is there a addon that i can put on that will restore my notes that i backed up on before the switch?

If you made a nandroid you can just take it from there manually.
Though its best you just use something like evernote that syncs to the cloud so you don't have to deal with that in ze futur.

i did back up the nandroid. is there a how to on that i just want to get all my data?

probably somewhere but it'd be easier to restore it then backup your apps with titanium backup so you have it for any rom you flash.
if you don't have it already its free

ok i went to the back up and its at the samsung screen and fell few vibrates and seems like its reboots to samsung screen and does it over and over doing same thing.

I replaced all stock apps with custom apps:
Gallery - QuickPic
Video Player - mVideo Player
Audio Player - Folder Player
Calendar - Calendroid
Notes - Color Note
Calculator - Realcalc
Browser - Dolphin Mini
I deleted all the stock apps, and set up two tasks in TiBu to backup all new apps, and all apps with changed data every night. I backup these to dropbox every day or two. This keeps data intact, and also helps eliminate customize each of these apps between ROMs.

Thanks for the useful apps. I still need to get my old notes. I thought the new rom would have the notes app.

I found the .db file for memo just need the app. Is there a file for the memo app?

done some digging found it here.
Case closed. Thanks for the help guys!

Change your title to solved. Good job.
Edit: Now go use Epistle or wait for Google drive, put all your notes to the cloud and never look back.

[Q] Will I lose my text message history if I install a custom ROM?

Good Morning.
Does Titanium Backup save your text history? Will I loose it if I install a custom ROM?
Thanks.....

I believe there is an app on the market that you can download that will pack up all your sms history...

You have to wipe data before you install a custom rom. So yes you will loose the texts. I don't use titanium for that. I use My Backup Root to backup my sms mms and call log. It works great for me. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rerware.android.MyBackupRoot

Titanium can backup text/mms messages. I forget what it is stored under when you look at it to restore, but I have restored mine several times.

I *think* it's "[SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage 2.3.6". I'm not 100% positive, but it's definitely one of the green ones.
I have MyBackup Root, but I've never been able to make it work right. Even restoring only apps always causes a crapton of FC's for me. I personally think the interface blows as well...not nearly as granular as Titanium.

Stop sexting.

I use SMS backup and restore from the market. Has worked perfectly for me every time. It backs up every night and keeps the file on my SD card. Never know if my phone is going to screw up so I always have it running.

That's the right one. Restore data for it and then reboot.

Does that save/restore MMS as well and is there one for the call log? Thanks in advance!

App installing adverts

At some point, I think I installed an app which creates shortcuts on my homescreen and sends notifications to my, well, notification bar, from time to time (maybe once a week or so). I don't think it's opening any security backdoors or anything because it got through Lookout.
Any idea how I can identify the app? It also seems to happen while I'm asleep! So I can't see it happen.

Just do a full wipe and reinstall the "needed" apps. Then start to add and keep track.

Yea I don't get how people keep wiping their phones, I like to keep my stuff. Reinstating is a pain, I've done my fair share of it.
Anything I can do by using stuff like logcat?

This is the best option. The phone will probably run faster and all that extra will be wiped. If you flash full wipe is second nature. I even wipe my SD every once and a while just to speed things up. App may of may not work but in the end your just adding more to your phone. Fresh start.

That's why you need an app like Titanium backup or app2zip to automate the re-install process and backup your data.

This is what I don't understand. I used to use titanium backup as you suggested, maybe I was back in the old days, but I remember I still had to restore each app manually. Also, if I do somehow automate it, doesn't the 'bad stuff' come back as well?

3 'New' cool apps

Hey guys,
I just wanted to inform you about two apps I found recently that appear to boost performance and battery life a bit.
The one that boosts performance is a better and more efficient version of Seeder. It's called SeFix and (as opposed to Seeder) really does seem to work!
The second (the battery booster) is actually way more versatile:
It's called Greenify and it lets you disable apps to run in the background.
Eg. I set it to decline the Google Maps request to run in the background all the time; because as we all know, Maps often sucks somewhere near 7% of the battery.
(However, it needed me to root uninstall it and then install it from the play store, so it wasn't a system app anymore)
Anyway: I hope this helped and that it makes your device nicer to use (like it did for me)
Last but not least: as you are probably aware: Orange Backup is a backup app that lets you do complete (CWM or TWRP style backups) without having to go into the recovery!
Really awesome.

I guess you could use it for Facebook too, to keep it from running in the background all the time.
Or... You could also *not* use Facebook and switch to cooler social media, such as Google+

Greenify looks the app I have been looking for. Maps constantly runs in the background (not on my tf700 but on HTC One S). I am trying this app to see if it works. Thanks for sharing!

You might have to root uninstall it and then reinstall it from the Play Store (to get rid of the 'system app' issue).
It worked for me
Definitely some better battery life after stopping those battery hungry apps

:good: thank you, i will try them... :victory:

Never happened to me.
Are you using data2sd?
Maybe it's confused because of the switch?
I can only say that it works like a treat for me and that it makes these backups quite fast considering that it doesn't need to boot into recovery.
Have you tried contacting the developer? He's called snoopy333 and is to be found in the original thread. Maybe he can tell you what's going on?

Thank you for sharing the existence of greenify.
EXCELLENT
How do I block the playstore?
Titanium Backup does not turn me or makes user application and remains in system application.
thanks

I have never tried doing that with the PlayStore.
maybe you could try SystemTuner or another app?

No data2sd, I installed it, went well, config backup desitnation folder which is on my sdcard or microsdcard (tried both). Did you use cloud instead of internal storage? I uninstalled/reinstalled still same issue, WTF! This app seems very well done.

I tried TWRP (compression disabled, maybe the key lies there) and let it back-up locally.
But I have indeed also backed everything up to the cloud.
Both worked fine...
Have you contacted the dev yet? I am kind of curious what causes this issue

Thanks, but I already tried with and without compression, also with md5 settings also (tried them all), even reboot my device before launch the app. I may have to contact the dev see what's going on.

I contacted the developer and he resolved my issue. This issue was busybox. I re installed busybox and bam everything is working as expected. BTW, his service is excellent, send him an email and 10min later I got his reply. Can't beat that for a free app!! Thanks.

Sounds interesting... but I didn't find (Google) Maps in the app list ... any hint?

Yeah like I said: go into Titanium Back-up, select Google Maps and convert it to user app (or root uninstall Maps and reinstall it through the Play Store)
Afterwards, you should be able to select it for Greenify!

10.3.3 Broke Notes App

Anyone else having this problem? Since I updated to 10.3.3, my notes app no longer works. It crashes every time I try opening it. Tried clearing cache and data and nothing. Also noticed it is no longer called notes when you click app info, it is called "Unpin from top" for whatever reason. I doubt it's a problem with the install of the update as this is literally the only app that seems to be broken, everything else is fine. If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know. I use the notes app very frequently.

I used titanium backup and restored the app only. Got it working again but lost all my saved notes. Pretty dumb if you ask me.
