[Q] Backup and restore data\apps for irresponsive OS - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

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 the same 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?

Anybody?
Please, it's really urgent!

Manila Spaz Out! (Pictures and Videos) Does this happen to anyone else?

I experience this from time to time since my recent software reset. Didn't happen much in the beginning, but I'm sure it must of been something I installed and uninstalled of a program I tried out. Could be Batti causing the problems, as it seems to have come about when I started using Batti.
There would be junk at the top, as well as almost all hardware buttons don't work. Some soft buttons may work, but don't do much. Blank Menus occur. Start button doesn't work, so I can't get to settings to manually deactivate Manila. Manila may restart on it's own, but no resolution and bugs still occur. Power button doesn't work, so I gotta open the battery case and soft reset.
Does this happen to anyone else (particularly Sprint users)? Are you also using Batti?
Here are pictures and Video

I have, for a very short while, used Batti with no problems at all. Maybe another piece of software you've installed??
If this problem persists, the only way out is to do a hard reset.

Regarding SMS/MMS

I'm rooted, stock odex jellybean lj7, no mods. I noticed that whenever I delete one of my sms/mms threads, a blank 'place holder' thread will show back up afterwards even though there are zero messages. If I delete them all then they will all disappear.
I did a clean install so idk if it's that. I assumed it was sms backup and restore or my backup root because it happened before with one of those two programs. So I tried to duplicate it again with those programs removed and got the same results. I also use ChompSMS and I thought it was because of that so, just like the others, I tried to duplicate it with the app removed and it still happened.
I've tried wiping the data of the MMS.apk, restarting, powering off and powering back on, wiping cache and dalvik cache but to no avail.
I don't understand what's going on. It's annoying and I don't want to clean install everything again. I'll try to include the screen shots. I can delete the place holder messages if the only messages in the box are place holders and not real text.

Thanks for all the help
Update
I fixed it by going to a nandroid I had made before factory resetting the setup. Idk how a factory reset could bork the stock MMS.apk like that but evidently it did as I didn't change anything.

Complete wipe system , data , cache & factory reset after that install either another ROM or install a fresh new firmware .
But please, make a backup in TWRP bevor you wipe anything.
Maybe a factory reset will be helpfull. Try it first.
There is no point on making complete backup of ROM that's having problem.
Anyways u may use HTC sync manager to backup phone messages and contacts & Use titanium Apps backup tool for apps backup . Make sure you backup apps+data only from titanium not "system+data" coz you may will be going to different version of ROM or firmware

OnePlus 5T font rendering issue after root

After rooting successfully I have found a weird glitch with the fonts.
This happens only in google apps, like Google Play Movies, Google Assistant and so on, it also happens in the permission warnings, ( like permission to access storage) but not on the whole warning, just the grant or refuse buttons. I have tried messing around to fix it but I cannot find any info about this problem. I have no idea what caused it or how to fix it, but it is very annoying.

Couldn't figure out what was causing it so I just took it as corrupted files and reset the phone. I used Titanium Backup to back up the whole thing and noticed the name of the apps on the list also had the weird characters, so I didn't back those up. After a reset it has been working fine with root, even after multiple Magisk updates.
i had the same problem, check if you have set the language English (XA) or something similar and add instead English US / UK.

Apps like Playstore or MS Outlook keep stopping

I'm using LineageOS on my OnePlus 3T for about a month now and everything was fine until some days ago. I installed LineageOS alongside GApps pico back then.
If I try to view apps in the Playstore, the Playstore crashes. It crashes even if I remove its data and cache. The only way I can use it is to disable and enable it. Then I can view apps without any problem until I install one. After installing an app I can view apps until I hit the install button. Then it's back to its old behaviour and I have to disable and enable it again.
Outlook just crashes when I'm opening it and only uninstalling and reinstalling solves the problem. But after some time it keeps crashing.
I installed yesterday's update to see whether it fixes my problem but it doesn't.
I'm not sure what Finsky is but I think it has something to do with the Playstore and I found those errors in Catlog. I don't know its meaning though. Could somebody help me troubleshoot this issue?

Google Calendar and TianiumBackup now also crash when opening. I will have to restore a backup of OxygenOS but I don't really want to go back to it
