Restore sticky note data following update to 4.1.2 / 98.72.16.XT912?

Following the March 16 2013 (ish) update to Android 4.1.2 / 98.72.16.XT912 / Build date Fri Feb 1 20:37 2013, the Sticky Note widget was removed from the default installation for Droid RAZR. This deleted important information I had stored in there. Can anyone offer a way to restore that information?

Thanks.

This from Motorola live assistance:

Yes, sticky notes have been remove after the Jellybean software update.

There is no way for us to get the information back. This application now is optional. While we do not endorse the use of these applications, there are some users who find these apps useful. For further support, please contact the developer of the your selected application. You may get a third party application from Play Store that is Sticky Notes.

And, confirmed on the motorola support forums

THIS IS TOTAL GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There was A LOT of IMPORTANT information on my sticky notes and for Motorola not give an AMPLE warning is inexcusable!

DO NOT DARE WRITE ABOUT THE BLAND WAIVER THAT MOTOROLA PROVIDED AS AN AMPLE WARNING!

The apps were safe, why not sticky notes? HOURS of work were LOST because of Motorola's negligence!

I keep needing to remind myself that if Motorola's designers and employees had talent, they would work for APPLE.

Echoing the disappointment of daveisivts, I had a lot of information on my sticky pad. This is poor customer service to simply remove the feature without a reasonable effort to notify folks. Hiding behind a waiver (that I never saw - maybe I looked past it when accepting the update) is cowardly. When you install a "system update," you assume only your operating system is being updated, not your apps and widgets. If an app or widget is going to be affected, then there should be a quick step that says, "these apps or widgets will be removed, do you wish to proceed?" Seems like a simple matter of customer service.

I agree with Sc0ttyG, <Vulgar comment deleted< I had some very important information in my notes app and now it is just gone? That is totally unacceptable (lack of) customer service. I can't believe this. I am so angry!

You should ALWAYS backup any important information or pictures or email, text, etc. Any phone is subject to fail at any time. Verizon nor Motorola guarantee this information in any way. Anyone should know phones and computers and any other electronic device is subject to fail or be lost or stolen at any time.
