Hello!
How do I backup each and every note of my LG G5 QuickMemo+?
If your phone is rooted, you can do that by using automatic backup tools such as Titanium Backup, or by manually copying /data/data/com.lge.qmemoplus/ folder to your backup location and then restoring it by copying it back to the same folder, setting the right permission with Root Explorer or similar.
If you're planning to copy them to a txt file, it's quite easy for text notes, as the text is inside /data/data/com.lge.qmemoplus/databases/qmemoplus.db, a SQLite database, in a format similar to HTML.

My phone is not rooted and I do not plan to root it. Most of the notes I wish to backup are images, is that still possible?
accessing in the /data/data folder is possible only with root. I don't know where images are, if they are in /sdcard/android/data/com.lge.quickmemoplus you can backup them, otherwise not.
EDIT: media files are in /sdcard/android/data/com.lge.quickmemoplus, so you can just copy that folder even without root.

Oh. So should all my phone data get deleted, if I paste the pre-copied folder, all the dozens of saved images in QuickMemo+ would be there?
/sdcard/ is (opposite to what would be logical) the internal memory. So if your phone data is erased, also QuickMemo+ photos are deleted But you can always backup them whenever you want.

I just went in that folder and I seem to have thousands of 'qmemo_' folders in there, each has 'audios', 'drawings', 'images' and 'videos' sub-folders. The problem is there seem to be a lot of memos I have deleted from my phone long ago (which apparently also is the reason why it took some time to load all the folders as there are thousands), how come the deleted memos appear in those sub-folders? How can I backup only the relevant ones?
If there is a mismatch between the database of notes seen by QuickMemo and the files in the folder, well, you just have to be patient and check them one by one.
You can start by opening QuickMemo and looking at the earliest memo: any folder that has been edited before that date, is something you deleted.
You can use LG Backup too

Hi, Everyone
I was attempting to make a new backup of my HTC one using TWRP. For some odd reason, I can't find the file when I browse my phone SD. The TRWP folder has the old backup, but when I attempt to do a restore I can see the new files. I tried using the ES explorer app to find the missing backup files but nothing. I know for a fact that these files are stored somewhere and they are taking space on my HTC. Can I restored to an early restore and it will delete these files?
I'm new to the Android scene and still learning. Any suggestions will be gladly appreciated.
Thanks.

Nevermind, I found the solution. The problem is that the ES file explorer does not have root access to /data folder. I enable root access in ES file and there was the following folder: /data/media/twrp.
I was able to make a new folder in the /SD and copy the files to that location. Then I deleted the folder.
So I got this game from Humble Bundle and installed in on my DNA, I've been playing it for 13 hours and was forced to reinstall it. I copied my save file on to my computer to put back in the game once I reinstalled it, but I won't load the save file now. Anyone have any issues with this or any ideas as to how I can get it to work??
Thanks.
Many games store info in /data/data folder... Is that what you backed up? (ie com.gameloft.android.etc.etc) I use Titanium Backup because it will also backup the additional files like the example above.

I just grabbed the save file off the phone and copied it to my desktop computer, and then copied it back.

He is asking what "file" did you think you grabbed? Did the file explorer need root permissions to grab this save? Last I checked permissions for save games need root access and are stored in the /data partition, not your SD card or internal SD

Before my old device died on me (Motorola), I did a TWRP and TB backup but I forgot to backup the devices internal calendar (using Business Calendar 2). When I restored everything to the new device (Sony) using TB, it didn't restore the calendar entries.
Is there anything I can do to get them back?
*I can't use the TWRP backup in Titanium as it is 8GB and I don't have the space on the internal memory and I can't find a way to point it to an external source.
*I have tried renaming the data.f2fs.win000 file to a ZIP in Windows, going to 'data\data\com.android.providers.calendar\databases\' and copying the calendar.db and calendar.db-journal file to the same place of the new device (backing up then deleting what was there first) but that just caused all calendar apps to FC after restarting.
*I have compared the calendar.db file from the TWRP backup to the original one on the Sony in Notepad and it shows the entries I am missing, so I know I am close, I just can't restore them to the new device.
Is it possible to convert DB to a ICS file or am I looking in completely the wrong place on the backup?
I can't extract the whole 'data\data\com.android.providers.calendar\databases\' folder in Windows, because it moans about the filename length as I thought maybe copying the whole folder instead of the two above files to the new device would solve it.
Any help would be appreciated.
If you copy the db files in then using a file manager change the ownership and group to match the parent directory and also set permissions rw,r,r do you still get a fc?

All the folders in the com.android.providers.calendar on the new device are set to 0771, both files in the database folder that I copied across were already 0644. The owner and the group are both set to root, not sure if that is correct or it needs to be set to app_28 which is Calendar Storage.
You will need to change the owner and group to app_28 or the calendar can't write to them. Edit: of course that is if app_28 is your calendar id, check the parent folders to see. Edit 2: As far as I remember folders should also be 775 within data/data.

Thanks, all sorted!
I had been using Fouad whatsapp v8.12 for quite some time and it was working flawlessly until 20th February when they released a new update with V8.26.
The problem is it starts absolutely fine but I can't seem to restore my recently backed up msgs, when I try to restore on the main screen, it says
No backup found in sdcard/whatsapp/
And when I try to restore the backup from fuoad settings after verification it still gives me the same msg.
It automatically restores some very old msgs from last year although I made a new backup.
Any help would be appreciated, I've already tried several suggestions that were helpful before but none seem to be working now.
Did you find the answer to your problem?
If anyone has any solution please do share
The only solution I found out was to clean install fouad and the skipping the first step where it asks me to restore and it automatically picked the backup file from the folder.
Don't know if it'll work for you but it worked for me.

You need to put the backup file in the backup folder that fuoad whatsapp creates

I think it's the folder with numbers, what you can do it clear all the storage of fuoad whatsapp by renaming the backup file, open the fuoad whatsapp application and then see which folders it creates and put your backups in that folder.
I stopped using fuoad whatsapp sometime ago due to the same issues of backup on google drive, so this is what I remember the last time I faced this issue.
i just formated my phone and the app cant read the backup file any help ?
I have renamed DCIM folder and its vanished, But it contained 30 GB of photos. But in microseconds.
Anyone could advice whether can restore. thanks.
Do you mean that folder and all photos in it have disappeared after you renamed the folder?
In general, this is impossible. Open the 'Files' app to find the renamed folder and your photos.
Hi Mr James,
Yes, totally gone missing. It was about 30gb.

Did you have them backed up on the PC?
Renaming that folder as is now obvious to you is not a good idea, here's why.
Why Does Every Camera Put Photos in a DCIM Folder?
Every camera — whether it’s a dedicated digital camera or the Camera app on Android or iPhone — places the photos you take in a DCIM folder. DCIM stands for “Digital Camera Images.”
www.google.com
The camera will also not recognize the renamed folder when you take a picture unless you edit the cam app's coding.
I copy the DCIM folder subfolders to a renamed folder on my SD card then back that folder up. I then delete the images in the DCIM subfolders and start over about once a month.
If you really deleted the DCIM folder (I don't think this is possible on a stock Android but never tried it!) things will get dicey.
Search by file type, image or jpeg and check the SD card. If MiX file explorer is already installed try using that. If they have been deleted the files are still there until they are overwritten. Using the device can cause this to happen.
Use only known good recovery software; some offer free recovery but encrypt the results and require a payment to unencrypted the actual images all the while potentially overwriting the originals if it hasn't already deleted them.
Be warned.
If you do manage to recover them it will only be the image files. The folder structure is already lost and the image exit information is disassociated from its image, lost is a sea of files. So there be no timespamp, pic number or any other information for the images and no way to recreate it. 30gb be a complete jigsaw puzzle of images in mostly random order. You can sort by file type but that's all.
You better hope it was renamed and not deleted!!!
