Everything just freaks out - Phone unusable!

It all begun with me playing an android game (not for the first time), then rebooting the phone. After the reboot I tried to open the android game again which caused garbage on the screen followed by a reboot (triggered by watchdog?).

So I tried to start the android game again and this time it (the android app, not the phone) wasn't even starting. Tried other android apps but none wanted to start anymore. Restarted android support multiple times: No change. Then I monitored the phone a bit (with top) after bootup (or restarting android support) the system-server needs a few minutes to, well, don't know, waste CPU cycles? Then finally it crashes (out of memory it seems).

Then I thought maybe completely uninstalling might help, so I started the Jolla Store, which showed something about a serious problem in the registry. So I resetted the registry which rebooted the phone but did not remove the error message at store startup. Also now the store shows zero installed app, so how to uninstall a "not installed" android support? How to fix the registry? How to see if even more things are broken?

dmesg also looks bad (I guess/hope all the erros are from trying to restart android support) - http://pastebin.com/yHFSiDAe

Turned the phone off now to prevent more corruption but need it back online ASAP so... Help please!
