1) For accessing the /data/data/.../databases folder -- did you root your device to access this? b/c when I hit it from a Droidvim terminal, I do not have read or any permissions
2) For the those who are modifying the files offline, then rezipping, I've been having trouble restoring from zips where I've 1) unzipped 2) made a slight mode to the shapes db (e.g. delete an entry for a deleted folder) and 3) rezipped. Do y'all have any tips here? I've used OSX's native compression from the UI as well as the zip from bash.

Thanks!
1) yes
2) Deleting probably wouldnt work, because when it restores the backup I am guessing it is only additive. Meaning, if i have 2 notes and then create a backup and then create a third note in the app and then restore the 2 previous notes, its not gonna delete my 3rd new note when restoring the 2 others, which is essentially what it seems like your trying to have happen. Sorry for being misleading in my previous post
