Transfer/Backup Notes

How to Backup Notes on Flip Phones

Tested on LG Exalt, Kyocera Cadence, Kyocera DuraXV E4610, and E4810

Note: This guide assumes you are familiar with using ADB.


Steps to Backup Notes

  1. Run the following ADB command with the appropriate package name for your device:
   adb backup <name-of-package>
  • LG Exalt: com.lge.notepad
  • Kyocera Devices: jp.kyocera.providers.memo
  1. When prompted, enter a password if desired, or click “Backup Data”.

    • You may need to use a mouse or a tool like scrcpy to tap on the device’s screen.
  2. The backup file will be saved in your platform-tools folder as backup.ab.


Steps to Restore Notes

  1. Run the following ADB command:

    adb restore backup.ab
    
  2. Enter the password if required, then tap “Restore” on the device.

  3. After restoring, you may need to create a new note on the phone for the restored notes to appear.


Alternative Method for LG Exalt

  • On the LG Exalt, you can easily back up notes by sharing all messages via Bluetooth or Email.
    • The exported format will be different and may not display within the Notes tool.
      Instead, the notes will only appear in the file explorer.

Additional Notes

(Untested)

  • This method may also work to back up your saved T9 words by specifying the T9 package name:
    • Kyocera Devices: com.nuance.android.vsuite.kyocera
    • LG Devices: com.lge.ime.solution.text

Important tip:
For me, when I tried to click backup notes, both with the mouse and when clicking on it with scrcpy, it wouldn’t click. The only way I got it to work was scrcpy, using the right keyboard arrow to navigate to the button. YMMV.
Let us know what worked for you…

I just tried to backup T9 words, on the Kyocera. When I restored it the T9 list is still empty.

Also tried com.android.providers.userdictionary still didnt work

Any ideas?

Which mouse and or which Scrpy program did you use for the E4610?

KCO mouse. Scrcpy
On another phone it worked fine, so probably a glitch…
