I am having the same problem here. Have you figured this out?

Have the same f**** problem!!!

Same problem here. I tried several options: cleared cache, restored old data with TiBu, started Snote, saw my old folders behind the shaded "refresh" screen, then the old data were replaced with stock folders. The stock data come from somewhere and overwrite the restored data. How do we overcome this? Is there any way to merge stock and restored data? Is there anybody who can shed light on to this and help us out? And please let's not bring in an option of syncing to the Google drive as that was obviously not done and is not a part of the struggle at hand. Thank you.

Notes are stored in internal sdcard. So they shouldn't be deleted

"Should or not" is not really a question. After a full wipe, all data are gone. That's why we do restores of either apps or apps+data. After a full wipe, Snote shows stock folders and sample pages. I would like to be able to restore my old data (notes and folders before the full wipe). They do appear briefly but the Snote refreshes the content and my old/restored data are replaced by stock samples.

Did you backup external card data ?
And after a full wipe, I entered in Samsung and Google account info and all my notes were restored from cloud.

Well, I did mention in my previous message that Google (cloud) is not part of the solution. Not in this case. The question is how to restore notes after a full wipe using TiBu (or similar) and prevent them being overwritten by default samples. Thanks anyway.

Hmm.
Just delete original s note folder and then restore.
You gotta enable external data.
Tick that in settings

Perhaps GT-N7100 has different settings than T889. I don't find "external" data in the S note settings. If I just delete and restore, I can see my restored folders and notes behind the shaded "Refreshing" background. Then they are gone and the stock folders are back in place.

Cool! It always amazes me how people give an advise to an unrelated issue. Neither Google drive nor Samsung account can be part of the solution because there was NO external backup of any kind. TiBu was used for local backups and could be used for local restores. But let me describe it one more time.
The phone was wiped out. Before doing TiBu restore, I deleted data for Snote, cleared cache, stopped Snote, and then did a restore of data only for Snote. When I start the Snote, it says "refreshing" and greys out the folders behind the "refreshing" screen. At this point I can see my old/restored notes and folders. However, when the "refreshing" is finished, my restored notes and folders are replaced by stock folders. Something runs and overwrites restored content. So the question is how to prevent Snote from overwriting the restored content WITHOUT involving external data from Google drive or Samsung account?

Bumping this. I have same issue and no clue as to where our previous data was stored.
I say this only because I have nandroid backups as well and perhaps can extract from there if someone knows where the data would be and whre to put it.

Would be nice to have a non-cloud backup/restore option. I have the same circumstance as others. Everything got wiped during a ROM upgrade and the TiBu restore won't stick no matter what I try.

Why don't you save yourself the trouble and using a simple file explorer go to Internal Storage/SNote folder and backup all your notes into the external storage that way you can do whatever you want to do and not lose your notes. Once wipe is completed manually restore those files in the snote folder.

Properly implemented automation boosts efficiency.

I know this is a few months old now, but I just wanted to say I solved this problem by copying the folder manually with a file manager, opening S Note, let it erase everything, then copy the new files back in.

[Q] [REQ] wipe/titanium backup tutorial? (couldnt find)

Ok when I flash a new ROM and want to do so with a clean slate/wipe, I have titanium backup to back up all my apps, but I'm still kinda unsure of the full procedure as obvious as it may seem... When I did my first wipe, I had to go back and redo all of my information for everything on the phone. Is this typical? What I mean by that is I had to input all my google account info, set up my home screens, set up my facebook app...and turn off all of my sync's...
if you don't wipe, do you have to do all of that? Does a titanium backup on apps/system data allow you to not have to do this?
is this the proper step by step:
1.Titanium backup - apps/system data
2. Rom manager -download rom w/ wipe and back up
3. load rom
4. titanium restore - apps/system data?
Just apps or apps+user data. System data varies from ROM to ROM. Plus, you have no need of multiple copies of system data.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
when i flashed to virtuous and did a wipe, i did a backup before of just apps and when i restored apps+user data, it really didn't do anything. I still had to change all the configurations for everything to not sync and to put in username/password...

was shaky on this as well....what is the difference between user and system data? Just would be a pain to lose all layouts and wifi passwords.
I've been doing apps+system data each time and havn't really had any major problems to speak of
my titanium backup doesnt have an option to back up apps+user data... just apps and apps+system data
My bad on an unclear response.. When restoring from TB, it's apps+ user data. You do not want to restore system apps from a different rom. In the scheduling section of TB, There are different configurations you can choose.

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I have a quesition about TB Pro. Today I flashed the CM6 ROM onto my DINC. When I reinstalled the TB Pro app onto the phone from my appmonster folder on the SD Card and opened it up to restore my apps in batch mode, TB Pro would FC whether I was trying to restore apps only, apps+data or even individual apps (not batch mode). Am I doing something wrong, am I misunderstanding how TB Pro is supposed to function, is there an incompatibility?
Try the problems button in titanium and clear its data in the application menu.

Titanium Backup not backing up

Titanium Backuo isn't restoring my apps after in have backed them up. I am a paid user. I have gone as far as uninstall/reinstall....delete the folder containing the backup files...deleting only backup files. Still whenever I flash a new ROM or simply want to restore my apps...the progress bar shows activity yet nothing is restored. Anyone else have a similar problem

Is you "sdcard" partition mounted? If you are doing this with your USB cord plugged in, try taking it out while doing a backup/restore.
Otherwise, I don't know what else could be causing a problem like that. I haven't had that happen to me. Are you updated to the latest version of Superuser?

Deleting your backup files? Thats not a good idea. Titanium doesn't store on the cloud so you are out of luck mate..
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Titanium can store to dropbox.
Do you have "unknown sources" ticked under security settings before you started restoring? I know its basic answer but let's do this step by step.
If this isn't doing it try backing up one app with a different backup prog and see if that restores.
Go to the market and uninstall titanium backup and reinstall again...now when youll open titanium backup it will create the directory again on your sd card and the backup will work..

Titanium Backup Pro Questions.....

I have been flashing roms & kernels for the past few years so I don't think I am a "noob". I am in no means a "know it all" either. I have been using Titanium Backup Pro to backup everything before flashing roms. It's great, but I still end up taking 20 minutes to restore everything back to normal. I have seen other posts about the correct way to backup/restore, but I never get a straight answer on the easiest/correct way. Do I let the market redownload my apps or do I let Titanium? Restore user data, system data? I hear about others restoring everything back to normal like email, texts, passwords etc. Please help.... Thanks

Restoring user downloaded apps is fine, but restoring system data always monkeys everything up.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
I've always restored user apps through titanium, but as the guy above me stated hold off on the data. If need be, the apps where you really need the data do them one by one so you know which one fudges up your system, if any do.
Once I know I'm going to switch roms, I always back all user apps up, then after I load the rom I want, I go ahead and run titanium before the market loads anything. It just takes to long for the market to redownload everything, in most instances.

If you want.. you can look into Mybackup root/pro. I always use that to backup my data and apps. It's very straight forward. You can choose DATA and backup sms, mms, android home, settings, playlists etc... then use APP to backup APPS, or APPS +DATA. check it out.. but remember after each backup or restore, restart for best results.

How do you get ti backup on your phone after a new rom is installed, but without accessing the market? most roms dont come with it preinstalled.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
Most the time I go to the market and dl it... There were a few devs that did have it in the rom when I had my g2.
Just read that you posted without going to the market. When you buy the pro, its always for dl in the market, just the serial though. So you have to redownload the free version through the market. Don't think there is another way, that I know of.

I will add, that mybackup is pretty cool. I'm not even rooted with a mytouch4gslide and you can still backup everything. With titanium, you have to be rooted.

There is an option in Titanium Backup to create a Flashable Zip that you can install within Recovery. In Titanium Backup, Press MENU, then press MORE and it'll be on that list.

Sweet. from now on i can be stingier with my data usage.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
This is the best way I restore after a wipe:
1. TI Pro for batch USER apps and data only -- do not use batch on system files
2. TI Pro for these system files: bookmarks, user dictionary, and wi-fi access points, only. I only use the "DATA Only" option in Ti Pro for these files.
3. I use from market, Call logs Backup & Restore to get my call logs back.
4. I always do a nandroid before flashing a new rom, and then use AppExtractor (free from market) to go to my nandroid to restore my SMS and MMSs. This works better than using TI Pro for sms and mms restore.
It sounds more complicated than it is. It actually is quite simple. I would simply stay away from using Ti Pro for restoring any system files if you can.

Restoring Contacts with Titanium Backup

Just got done rooting my ATT GS3, and flashed Cyanogenmod10 onto it. Before I did a full Titanium Backup, and did a backup of my previous ROM on CWM. When I got everything sorted in Cyanogenmod I noticed that my contacts weren't syncing, so I tried to restore them with Titanium Backup. All this did was give me an annoying error where something kept crashing, so I had to clear the data from my contacts app.
Then I found somebodies advice on the forum that said the restore the data from the recovery image I had on CWM. This was terrible advice and left Cyanogenmod frozen on the splash screen. So I reinstalled CM10 and got everything working fine again. Now my question is, is there any way to get my contacts back from my previous stock image, or the backup I made in Titanium before I flashed CM10? I've looked around and haven't found anything that works yet

Ok. Another way when moving between ROMs.
Install GoContacts free app. This app allows to export contacts and import after a new ROM flash. The safest method i can think of.

I never told to use it. Install it, export, freeze/uninstall. And when needed, install/defreeze, import, uninstall/freeze. Simple. Plus I use GoContacts from over an year ago, not the GoContactsEx version.

A general query.
I switched from samsung Y pro DUOS to samsung grand quattro. I had my old device rooted and had a titanium backup. That folder is also available in my laptop. Is there any way to have my contacts etc back again on my new quattro??
Btw, previous device got washed thoroughly! So all i have is a "titanium backup" folder.
PS: In no mood to root my new device.

Did you backup with contacts to your google account? If so, that's a way to get them back.
Otherwise, you'll have to root your device.

Another sort of general question on doing app+system data full backup on the SG3 using Titanium
Assuming I own the 16GB version, I've rooted and installed custom recovery on the device. I've done a custom recovery backup (TWRP or whatever)
Now I'm ready to install my custom rom zip and gapps, but say I have like 100+ downloaded apps with app data & whatnot, so I have Ti Backup installed and do a complete 'apps+system data' backup file...
but my internal 16GB memory doesn't have enough spare room to store the complete Ti backup file in addition to my existing system files, existing custom recovery backup file and existing apps and data/junk. And my options for cloud storage, lets say Google Drive or Dropbox, don't have enough room either.
Is my external SD card (say a 32 GB card in the slot) and option for backup of the Ti backup app+system data file? Will that Ti backup file be readable by the phone once I flash the custom rom on the phone? Or does stock ROM touchwiz format the external microSD card a certain way that once I flash a different custom ROM like CM, that external SD card and all its data is now unreadable?

No the external will work fine as that was always my default storage location. But a word of advice. Backing up your system data is a bad idea.

Never follow videos, they are seldom done by anyone that really knows what they are doing. The issue is with restoring the data. Like you say you are doing it on your HTC one. If you were to restore that system data on a non HTC device or a non Sense rom (if you are using a sense rom) you will corrupt the system data forcing you to reflash from scratch.

Yes your better off saving just user apps. This normally backs up game save data as well but doesnt always work across devices due to different layouts of the partitions.

Your contacts should be synced with your Google account.
Text messages are stored in a different part of the memory that you have to back up specifically (titanium backup or SMS backup) apps also need to be backed up with titanium backup or let Google install them for you in the setup wizard.
