[Q] Backup and restore data\apps for non-responsive OS - HTC One Max

Hey everyone,
I have a very annoying issue. It seems like I messed up with lockscreen settings and now the phone is crashing at the very beginning of OS boot, a FC message constantly pops up every 3 secs or so and the status bar is missing. A process called "com.android.systemui" keeps closing and won't let me do anything with the phone.

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The home page of Nova launcher is shown but the devices behaves as if it is on lockscreen, but I can't unlock it open. Nothing on homescreen can be pressed\launched as the phone is "locked" and only volume up\down, short\long press home\back (lockscreen actions if predefined) and reset would work. I can't just wipe\factory reset yet as I have some important stuff should be backed up before.
Obviously if I Nandroid then restore - this will restore back this conflict as well. I have a very early working backup stage of Viper ROM but it does not include all my customization and all apps installed later on.
I need a way to backup all apps+data and settings, SMS, etc. without the need to "touch" the OS - Titanium backup would absolutely have no use here for me nor others like.
Perhaps I can modify the Nandroid backup file and tell it which apps to (de)install?
Any advice before I reset this device?

[Q] Screen hangs anytime. No boot logo after reboot

Hi,
I have motorola atrix 4g. I have already installed gingerbread update. My phone's screen starts hanging anytime. Screen looks like this when it hangs

I thought its a hardware issue as there is no change on display after phone restart. Even there is no boot screen logo. So I connected my phone with my PC as I have already configured "Droid Explorer" software to control the phone from the PC. Using this software I can see the phone is working good in the background but the display remains noisy. So I tried to restore the app+system data using titanium backup app. To my surprise the display is back again after restore. but after 15-20 mins, again the same issue starts - display become noisy but in the background everything works good. So it looks like software issue as I restore my app+system data again it works properly for 15-20 mins.
So I installed launcher pro application. Using this phone runs good for 1-2 hours.
But after that the same issue is back.
I am not able to figure out what can I do to resolve this issue.

[Q] Lock Screen Settings Crash

Hi guys, a beginner here. I have a pressing question here. I run a GT-I9300 on Android 4.1.1 (just rooted). Not running any custom ROM at the moment. Kernel is 3.0.31 - 288630. Build number is XXDLJ1. Baseband is XDLI5.
The problem I have is that when I want to customise my Lock Screen setting (please see screen shot),
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
, it crashes and tells me "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped working." .
I have done Factory Reset TWICE haha and for a while, it works. Then, it reverts to type again. I only had this phone for 5 days now. I love the screen with Gorilla Glass and I can customise the Home & Lock Screen a lot (I used to have an iPhone 4) but the OS seems very unstable at this point of time.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Try clearing the data of settings under settings->applications->all there is two things to do with settings clear the data of them both and then restart your phone. That's helped for me before.

Shortly after CWM Recovery starts.
You navigate op and down with the sound volume buttons on the side of the X10MP, select an itim with the start-buttom (the middle button), and goes back in the menu-system with the back button.
Select backup and restore > backup, wait for the backup to finish.

This is a tool to revive your phone from an expensive piece of plastic to a working phone. With this app, you can easily get your phone out from permanent safe mode in a single click. Permanent mode occurs on deleting your EFS. Once you get into Permanent safe mode, it's bit difficult to fix the problem and get your phone in working condition. Usually this problem is fixed by providing command in terminal and flashing fixes via recovery. So this is when this app comes handy to ease the process,
Along with fixing the safe mode, this app also gives you ability to easily backup and restore your EFS(IMEI). You can easily backup and restore your EFS in a single click. Please note that tinkering with EFS is risky.
App has user friendly UI, meaning there are some safety measures implemented to prevent accident clicks. On clicking 'Restore', it asks for confirmation without directly restoring it since touching EFS anyway is dangerous.
Note that backups are stored in "sdcard/manny_efs_backup" folder. App will backup EFS in two different formats, one is ".img" and second is ".tar.gz". This is to be double sure that EFS backup taken is safe.

Apps with usage access bug

I have Y5 prime has EMUI 8.0 based on Oreo 8.1
Got September security patch, installed it, ran into some problems, factory reseted it, then it was fine.
Afterwards, had this weird bug that prevent me from allowing apps to access data usage. I don't recall having that. I go to the menu through Settings>Apps and notifications>Special app access>usage access I can see apps which are allowed and those not. But i click and nothing happens. Any suggestions? I wanted to use some data montioring apps so it required this permission. Where other permissions can be toggled on/off normally (ex. Draw over other apps or Modify system settings)
I tried safe mode but with no luck.
