You have to change your code with two new lines with comments below:

public class enteredText extends Activity{

    private Button savenotebutton1;
    private SharedPreferences savednotes;
    private EditText editText1;

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.x1);

        savenotebutton1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.savenotebutton1);
        editText1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.noteEditText1);
        savednotes = getSharedPreferences("notes",MODE_PRIVATE);

        editText1.setText(savednotes.getString("tag", "Default Value")); //add this line

        savenotebutton1.setOnClickListener(saveButtonListener);
    }

    private void makeTag(String tag){
       String or = savednotes.getString(tag, null);
        SharedPreferences.Editor preferencesEditor = savednotes.edit();
        preferencesEditor.putString("tag",tag); //change this line to this
        preferencesEditor.commit();
    }

    public OnClickListener saveButtonListener = new OnClickListener(){

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            if(editText1.getText().length()>0){
            makeTag(editText1.getText().toString());    

            ((InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE)).hideSoftInputFromWindow(editText1.getWindowToken(),0);

            }
        }
    };
}

Answer 2

Change your function:

private void makeTag(String tag){
        String or = savednotes.getString("KEY_NAME", "0");// here, '0' is default value
        Editor preferencesEditor = savednotes.edit();
        preferencesEditor.putString("KEY_NAME",tag);
        preferencesEditor.commit();

    }

EDIT

onCreate()
{
savednotes=PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getBaseContext());
 }
