Please Help: Backing up N5X - Broken Screen

So my screen is unresponsive but I've gotten the OTG to work with my mouse.

I've enabled debugging with my mouse, and when unplug the OTG and I plug into my computer it prompts me to verify it and I have to check another box.

Is there a work around this? Or another way I can pull my files to my computer.

Also, now my phone is starting to flickr and simulate input and its making the mouse really hard to use.

Changing ROMs - Backing Up Google Music Files?

If I am switching ROMs, is there any way to backup and then restore my Google Play Music files?

I have nearly 40GB of playlists etc and would really prefer not to have to redownload them each time. Is there a way to backup a specific folder and then restore it after flashing the new ROM?

I understand they are DRM protected. I don't want to add them to my computer or anything, I just want to avoid the headahce of trying to DL 40gb of data on a very slow connection.

Backing up/ restoring /Data partition manually

Hello everyone!
I would like to know if it was possible to backup and restore /data without a custom recovery, like, manually
1-Copy pasting /data to an SD card or PC
2-Reset my phone
3-Copy pasting /data
I know these three steps only didn't work for a friend of mine who tried it, so.. could these help?
4-Using terminal emulator to mount data?
4-Giving higher permission to the folder with root browser?
I'm just wondering, as I personnally would use TWRP for it but the friend that tried was rooted but did not have custom recovery at that time.
I would have done it with Titanium backup but well... he tried another method :D
This is all just out of curiosity, as this friend is now back running with his phone normally, as this happened a few months ago, but this question never got out of my brain so I decided to ask here.
Sorry for the long life story, It was just to set up why I got to this question :D
Have a good day.

Running Andy OS in bridged network mode and backing it up

I needed some of my apps running on AndyOS to search/recognize/talk with the the machines on my physical network. I checked in the VMWare player that installs with AndyOS. It turned out that the AndyOS guest was having two virtual network adapters one configured in NAT and another Host Only. As far as my understanding goes, to let guest to communicate with machines on physical network we need guest to have virtual network adapter connected in bridged mode. So I configured one and booted Andy OS. Power off those other two virtual NICs and ran the OS from VMWare. But it seems that AndyOS is not meant to run directly through VMWare. Is it so? It did not started. So I started it from the Start Andy system tray icon. It loaded only the bottommost black button bar of the Andy but nothing else. Now I have reset whatever I have done and trying it to start. But same behavior, only the bottommost black button bar loads. Seems that I have screwed my Andy OS. Is it? (1)Is there are any way to recover. I am surprised to find this since I did not do much changes and still the stuff is not working well. Now I think I should have copy pasted old stable vmdks somewhere so that I could have ran Andy from them once it gets screwed. But (2) is it possible to copy paste vmdks as say system image? Anyone tried?

Factory reset / backing up options for a complete restore

Hi Guys,
Without root, what is the best way to back up my Note5 to do a complete restore?

I don't find android very clever at resets and restores (its weakest point) as half the apps don't get reinstalled automatically and the settings all need re-entering manually. I've tried helium but it doesn't do a complete job of it. I also back up Nova (using its own back up). Battery isn't great at the moment so want to start with a reset.
Any other good suggestions for checking whats sucking apps? I use GSAM at the moment...

thanks
