Is there an easy way to backup/export notes from the stock notes app in Froyo? Alternatively, I'd like to know where said data gets stored, so I can manually copy them over to my PC.
Edit: I'm pretty sure the app came pre-installed on my device. The name of the app, as it looks from the app drawer is "Note pad."
I did some research and found out that this was pre-installed either by Huawei, or my telecom, as it resided in /cust/tata/in/app.
The notepad app is too bad as it doesn't allow anything else other than adding and deleting notes.
I solved my problem by manually opening each and every one of the notes, selecting all of them, tapping "copy" and then going to a file manager to open a text file. I then pasted it there, and saved them one by one.
My notepad (aka com.example.android.notepad), resident of Motorola xt317 (android 2.3), has a sqlite database living in the phone. Download it with
adb pull /data/data/com.example.android.notepad/databases/note_pad.db ./Documents

Convert .ab into .tar:
adb backup -f com.example.android.notepad.2018-11-05.ab -noapk com.example.android.notepad
dd if=com.example.android.notepad.2018-11-05.ab bs=1 skip=24 > data.gzX
printf "\x1f\x8b\x08\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00" | cat - data.gzX | gunzip -c > data.tar
Extract .tar file:
tar xf data.tar
Optionally, create a .tar.gz file:
gzip -c data.tar > com.example.android.notepad.2018-11-05.tar.gz
