Ended up getting blocked out of my Action Memos by Samsung on my Note 4. I have all the notes, just can't get them to show up on my Note 4. Here's where the help part begins.
1. Need someone who uses AM and doesn't export to S Note or through Evernote to look and tell me where the Action Memos normally live on the Note 4 - where on the internal SD. You can even just do a test note, then open the memo app, not S Note. Then confirm location on internal SD. Need the path/name.
2. If this can't be resolved any other way, my thinking is that if I do a factory reset I'd have to setup my Sammy account again and the Memos will show that way. Thoughts? It's buggered because of an Evernote prompt.
Any ideas or help always appreciated. Still working on it here. If I find a fix other than FR I'll post it.

I didnt choose export to Snote when saving and when i set up the account, i didnt choose evernote, i chose samsung, not evernote(the only two options) and it still saves them to MainStorage/SNoteData/ActionMemo
And to get them to show up i still had to long press the home screen for widgets, scroll down to SNote and choose the second one with the previous saved notes. Id just move the notes from their location to Internal/SNoteData/ActionMemo and theyll be accessible via the SNote widget.
_____
I tried using the MyFiles instead of my File Explorer, and If youre on Internal, theyll show up the Documents section and its the same one thats in the ActionMemo folder and i was able to view it without needing the SNote widget.
You might have to go that route to manually put them in the ActionMemo folder and use the MyFiles default explorer, open up documents and the memos will open on your home screen. Hope that helps.

Thanks. Here's what I know and what I've done.
1. I put them in the S Note folder for Actionmemo but they still won't show.
2. I put them in the Actionmemo folder on the main and same as above **Are you saying it should be ActionMemo and not Actionmemo?
3. What I'm trying to accomplish is have them open through the Action Memo app so that technically they are still editable, but they aren't showing either place.
4. Tried to setup the widget and can't. I'm using Apex Launcher. **What launcher do you use?
5. I can see the jpgs on dropbox, internal SD and anywhere else I have them, just can't "use" them with S pen.
6. The fix for the update worked great until I hooked up to Smart Switch to get the Action Memos onto my Note 4. It saw I was without the update and tried to slam me. Won't be doing that again. Nag is still gone on phone. I think it tried to slam me with 5.1.1 because the 5.0 nag was gone. Learning experience.
Off topic - downloaded the modem file tonight. Thanks.

When you look at the files in MyFiles, are the extensions .spd?

Always have and always will use Holo Launcher. It works the best for me and my preferred 387 dpi settings with 0.5 animation scale.
It allows all permissions when using any widget and works well with shortcuts too(which i never use)
If you saw a 0/100 at the end of the download progress on the far right, that was just samsung app updating, not the android system. lol
Ive never used action memo, and when i clicked save(didnt click export to Snote at the bottom right), it still saves them to InternalStorage/SnoteData/ActionMemo(Done with a 3rd party File Explorer, which you need if you dont already have one). Youll see the files there but you cant open them within the FileExplorer you donwloaded to see path locations and later use root priveleges when you decide to root.
After moving your old notes to InternalStorage/SnoteData/ActionMemo... Then go to the default File Explorer(MyFiles) Go to Documents, and youll see all your notes/memos and be able to open them up and have them appear on the home screen as if you just got done making them and were about to save them for the first time.

Because of what Sammy did to me with the Evernote thing, when I go to File Explorer(MyFiles), Go to Documents, I see everything spd, but it's only the files I manually sent to SNote from Action Memo. I have over 130 memos and no way I want to manually export those puppies. But the extension is spd. That was a big help. Thanks.
I wonder if it's possible to take a backup of the files - already done - and then change the jpg to spd (via a batch file or something like that)? Then they would all show properly. They're in the right place, but Sammy locked me out of them in favor of Evernote. I don't use Evernote because they're not editable.

So using the info you gave me about MyFiles on Note 4, I did a search for spd and found all of the files, not jpgs but qspd, on my Note 3. I'm going to try exporting those tomorrow and see if I can lick this situation short term.
Thanks once again, my friend. :good: Off to let my brain mull this one over.

Holy #%$& it worked! I did a batch rename on my laptop from cmd promt. Uploaded the files to my N4 and they still didn't show (could be too impatient). Renamed file title to format of early test notes only on N4 and refreshed. It showed up in Action memo! I'm going to give it a wait to see if the rest show up, or in fact have to be renamed to "Action memo" instead of "_QuickMemo".
:victory::victory::victory::victory:
Once again persistence and determination pays off.

You do need to change name from "Action memo" instead of "_QuickMemo", that along with the extension rename from "qspd" to "spd" are key. They will load without the first change, but still won't show. And don't forget to include the jpg for each file when you put them in Primary/SnoteData/Action memo.
This will make it possible to copy my notes from my Note 10.1 now. :good:

If you like apps to be in alphabetical order in touchwiz, download 'appzorter' from the market. Really good app! Now all my icons are sorted nicely
Free.
Oh thank you ^^
Indeed a nice utility.
But does anyone know how to rename a folder in the Applications section of TouchWiz ?
I like that the sorter can place folders first, but when I create folders they are named Folder 1, Folder 2 ,etc. Cannot seem to find how to rename them.

BTW, is there such a thing as a TouchWiz 4 for Sii user manual ?
Thanks! Can I check whether the apps that came with the phone remain unsorted while those which we download get sorted?

Good question! It seems to sort every app in one batch. So downloaded and phone apps will be jumbled up. Unless you make a folder with all your downloaded apps and sort them that way. The app will also sort apps in folders.
Thanks! Oddly, it doesn't behave that way for me. The Samsung/Galaxy apps are sorted as one batch and the downloaded ones as another. I did clear the TWLauncher data before sorting. Maybe I'm missing something?

I'm currently trying to fix that behavior. Samsung has added "default_sort" for preinstalled apps in 2.3.4, that causes wrong sorting in some cases (gaps on each page, wrong order, etc). I'll try to fix that issue in the upcoming update.
Do you know how to sort alphabetical order only apps which are in folders?
Start AppZorter and press the menu button
I did. I choose only "Folder contents-Sort folder contests" but it also re-order other apps too (which aren't in folders). Here are screnshots of page 1&2. I only want to sort page 2 (folders page).
Coming from the HTC world I am loving my SII. Soooo much smoother and more responsive, not to mention the hardware improvements. One of the small things I am missing is the mail client on the HTCs. I loved how you could multi-select any or all emails on the screen and choose delete, mark read, etc. Is there a mod, theme, or anything that will allow the mail clients on the SII to do this? Or tell me I am just missing an option or something and its already there.
Thanks,
The Gmail app should do it automatically.
You can replace the Samsung app with AOSP Email or K9 (build on AOSP email), which will both allow multi-select.
K9 is no good on exchange 2010. Will AOSP work with exchange 2010? I will look for the app, if you have a link post it up please.
Thanks,
Found the AOSP email.apk. Tried to push it to system/apps but I got an error when trying to install. I had the folder mounted r/w and permissions set correctly. Is there a tutorial on how to push an AOSP mail.apk ?

So you were asking Calk's thread about "installing" something. That shouldn't have been an option at all during the process. At what point were you seeing that option?
You don't need to do anything outside of what I have listed here:
Download or extract the desired app apk and place it somewhere on your SD where you can find it (I highly recommend Dropbox for this)
Open Root Explorer (or ROM Toolbox Root Browser or ES or Other) and navigate to /system/app
Mount R/W (top right in Root Explorer, R/W is on by default in ROM Toolbox)
If this is a system app, long press existing apk and either move (if you want to keep it) or delete (if you don't care)
If moving, navigate to the place you want to store the original apk using the Parent Folder line at the top
Paste to the desired location then go to the place with the new/replacement system apk
Longpress the replacement apk and choose copy or move
Navigate back to /system/app (should still be mounted) and paste the replacement apk
Longpress the replaced apk and select permissions
On the permissions pop-up leave all three in the first column (Read) checked, only the top item in the middle column (Write) checked and none in the third column, (Execute) and nothing else checked.
Hit OK and enjoy! Your permissions should now read (rw-r--r--)

Here is the apk. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I don't have to use Exchange any more so I can't test it, but i know I have seen many posts on this over the past year or so. A Google search will probably net you the best way to get AOSP mail and Exchange working together.
Also for future reference it is much easier to just extract any apk you want from a ROM zip than to wait for someone to post it. If you are unsure how to do that, hit the HowTo's link in my signature. that knowledge will give you much more control over your experience going forward and can help you fix all sorts of issues.

Good find. My previous tutorial had the screen shots as well. Makes life much easier. Not sure if this apk is different from the one I posted, but I'd go with his just in case. I am pushing it now to test. If it works the same, I'll replace the one I posted with the one from that thread.
EDIT: Looks like this is the same as the one I posted. At least the version is the same. I didn't go through each item in the apk, but xml's are the same and all of the file sizes are the same, so not sure about the "wakelock fix" mentioned. Anyway, gald you are taken care of.

yeah, that wake lock is annoying... i got it working, i tested both, and they are the same... 1 problem... i cant get the notifications to be right... after installing. I had a notification showing, that i couldnt get rid of, i cleared data, and fixed permissions, rebooted several times, and couldnt get it to go away... I just wish I could get the samsung version without wake lock... Hmmm
anyways, restored nandroid, and i guess i will deal with wake lock, unless you know how to fix the notification i had in email and social hub. it wouldnt go away/.
and YES Exchange works on Both!!!
I have tried all the suggestions and all that happens are FC's. Sucks cause I really wanted the multi select back.

The real bummer is that it was free app of the day on Amazon a couple of weeks back. But yes it is a good app.
As far as the notifications, I've seen the fix somewhere, but I can't find it. The first time I saw it was in a Google search. If I find the source, I'll post it here.

Hi,
Does anyone know how I can exclude folders from display when I use the Gallery app?
I have lots of books in Aldiko that have covers and the Gallery app loads each of them when I use it. This can really slow down the use of the Gallery app.
I have tried manually deleting them whilst in Gallery but if I switch the device off it just reloads them the next time I use Gallery.
Hope someone can advise.
best regards

I know this works for music but i think it should also work for pictures. You can create or copy a .nomedia file in the folder and it won't scan the folder

The real solution for this is to use quickpic and then it will let you exclude folders.
Are you sure you're not trying to hid your porn pics or videos?
OK, here's the pro tip from yours truly. Make a folder and when you name it, place a period in the beginning of the name. So for example if you name your folder "Pictures" put ".Pictures" for the folder name. This will hide the folder. Have fun.

Windows can see the hidden folder... Just have the "show hidden folders" option enabled on your machine.
Also if you have a file browser on your tablet like ES File Explorer, they can all see hidden folders.
Are you just pulling my leg?
You can also see hidden "dot" folders on the tablet in Root Explorer (you don't have to be rooted). Astro and few other explorers don't show them.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You must know how:
open the gallery
Long press any folder
select the folders you want to hide
open menu (with menu key)
select 'hide selection' (or something like)
done
PS. This only works with internal files and not with files on a sd-card ?!
That did it.

The real solution for this is to use quickpic and then it will let you exclude folders.

The Quickpics app did what I wanted ...eventually
Many thanks
After days of research I still have not found the answer that I am looking for. My old note 10.1 tablet was used extensively for school. I keep my textbooks and notes on it. The digitizer died so I upgraded to a 2014 edition. I am very upset over the loss of functionality with this tablet. When I lasso something I get the option to copy it to scrapbook and a whole bunch of other programs but not the clip board or gallery. I can copy it to lecture notes but it is done in a very clunky way. With my old note tablet I would simply lasso something like an equation in a text book and I would then wait about 5 seconds and the picture would disappear and automatically be save to clipboard. I then switched back to lecture notes and I would click the menu and select Import image and then choose gallery and my lassoed image would be right there. I simply selected it, change the size how I needed it and clicked the little check mark. Done.
With the new note there is no way to save to clipboard. My only other option is to upload it to a program like photos, Picasa, drive, and so on. I should not need an internet connection to upload something to what is basically being used as a clipboard. How do I get this feature back? Do I need to root? Can I reinstall the old note program or settings? Of course samsung says that it can't be done but I find that hard to believe since the older tablet did it just fine. Any help is appreciated.
Does lecture notes not appear in the list of programs you can send the selection to? Maybe you can ask the developer to help, as ever note, one note, snote etc are all there. Much easier than copying to clipboard and then importing.
By the way, once you send it to a program, it does get copied to the clipboard automatically. You can paste it if you are using the Samsung keyboard.

Yes it does, but the issue is that when I select it, it wants to open it in a new notebook or open a existing notebook and then insert it at the beginning of the notebook. If I am in a class where I have taken lots of notes then I have to drag the inserted image to the bottom of the page, use the volume buttons to move the page down, then drag again, move page, again and again for however many pages of notes I have. The way it used to work was I lassoed something, copied to clipboard, went back to lecture notes where I had just left it, insert image and confirm. It has changed from about a 10 second process to 30 seconds or more for a single image. At this point I would be happy with removing the new snote and spen settings from both my note 4 and note 10.1 2014 and putting the old snote/spen settings back in to get this functionality back. It's just stupid that clipboard is not an option. And the ONLY reason that it seems it isn't is because Samsung wants us to use it's apps, which it has already shown that it won't support from version to version. I used to use snote for all of this but when I upgraded my phone my old tablet and the new phone would no longer sync. So I upgraded the tablet too and now wish I hadn't. The moment another company comes out with a comparable product with native stylus support, I am done with Samsung.
Yeah, It's annoying that there is no copy to clipboard option. I also use it for notes and I multiwindow a PDF reader with Lecture notes. The lecture notes option in the lasso kills the multiwindow and, as you said, it works weirdly.
The solution I found: Select whatever you want to copy with the lasso. In the apps selection bar, select the Bluetooth option (with Bluetooth off). If you see at the bottom. Of the screen, a little white rectangle will say 'Copied to clipboard'. Then a popup will appear saying: 'You need to enable bluetooth' Click Cancel and wohala!!
Paste it as you know.
I actually posted this in a conversation with acadroid, Lecturenotes creator, somewhere.
Edit: Here, better explained with images:

Tell me if it works..
It does seem to copy to a "non standard" clip board. Thanks for the tip. I also noticed that after trying this that if I select lecture note from the menu it is not trying to open a new note book now. It seems to try to insert the picture where I last was in lecture notes. Not sure why the change. I think I can make it work. I think the failure here is mostly not being able to copy straight to a clip board or the gallery but that is more on samsung than lecture notes. And lector notes is one hell of a step up from snote. Thanks for the tips everyone.
@sendeth: I am not sure whether this helps, but LectureNotes has an open `import image in open notebook´ in the app's import settings. If you enable this option, any image which is opened with LectureNotes or shared to LectureNotes gets directly imported (or, more precisely, placed for import) into the currently open notebook.
You might want to wait for the lollipop upgrade, or do it if you already have it available. It has the smart clip feature from Note 4, which let's you grab screen clips and keep them in a floating tray onscreen, then paste into whichever application you want. I use it all the time on the edge, and it works pretty well. Haven't tried with LN though.
Hi
I have been using s note in note5. I used back up the "snotedata" folder that contains all the memos and notes to my pc. I don't like sync and all that stuff. I prefer doing manually.
I would like to do the same with the Samsung notes app. But I don't know where the data folder is. Can you please help.. Thanks
me too

Same here, it's driving me insane.
I need to browser on my PC thru all of my notes and I just can't seem to be able to.
- No PC app for Samsung Notes (although there is one for S Notes...)
- No GUI for Samsung Cloud, meaning it's impossible to merely view what's on there.
- No connection to Evernote.
- No mass-share back from Samsung Notes to S Note (you can do it but only one by one, and worse, it's imported as a picture)
Haven't been able to find the folder or, in better words... I have found "a" folder in Phone\SamsungNotes\SNote3... But all of that is empty, so there must be another place.
If anybody has a clue... I would very grateful

I just found 2 interesting folders under :
Code:
Phone\Android\data\com.samsung.android.app.notes\
One is "cache" and it's empty. The other is "files" and it has (??) a JPG copy of all of my notes.
It's a start. But I still cannot find where is the editable file.

samsung messed up notes app.. the only real advantage over snote is its lag free 90% of time.
Yeah I want to use S Note full-on, it is the best notes app no question and I have tried damn near every notes app in the Play Store, have had an Evernote premium account for years, etc. But to make it a proper notes solution they need to have a PC app and web app. I installed S Note on my Win7 PC, and I synced but nothing showed up. I tried live chat support and emailed Samsung, the response I got was this:
Thank you for contacting Samsung Customer Care.
From what you've written, we understand that you have installed S-Note software on your Windows PC and looking to view notes created on your Galaxy Note 7 phone.
We certainly understand your requirement by reviewing your email, however would like to inform you that there is no possible option available to accomplish that.
We can create notes and sync them on the software and restore them back, however there is no option of viewing them on the software on the device.

Which makes me want to stick with Evernote even with their 2-device limit (I stopped premium a while back) I can at least add stuff while on my laptop then see it on the phone, of course, and vice versa. That's a basic necessity if they want the notes deal to be taken seriously.
You need to be rooted
The folder is that same name but under /data/data/.......
Smart switch

Smart switch for samsung phones will let you put the notes from Samsung notes onto your sd card or pc etc.. the note in Samsung Notes are kept on the cloud not eithin the phones storage.
I think the "Samsung notes" are stored on the s8 internal storage and not elsewhere because when you run out of room on the internal storage the samsung note app won't save unless you delete sometging off the inturnal storage.
Where are they stored??
I also prefer to back up manually!
Does anyone know how to delete the cloud back ups of Samsung Notes? I've used smart switch to back them up and restore them, but, I cleaned up the 175 notes I've taken/made over the years down to 28. If you import from cloud you get all the ones that are there, including all 175! Samsung don't know how to either.
Thanks!
EASY!
all smsmsung note files are stored in 2 folders.:
data\data\com.samsung.android.app.notes\SDocData\
data\data\com.samsung.android.app.notes\app-attach\
just backup these 2 folders if you want to restore it (on a different phone with the same app)
sdoc data contain .sdoc files (container files, so if you rename to .zp you can extract mps3s(voice msgs) and text in raw data)
in app-attach are the drawings as .png
remember, when erasing a note in the app it is still in the 2 folders , just not visible any more in the app. very bad from a security and data savings perspective...
also with this regard i dont recommend (any) cloud backups - the (few) smasmsung apps i use dont have wifi/internet access anyway (AFWall+)
