How to turn off overlays if I can't touch the screen?

My cell phone is a Samsung Galaxy Pocket 2 (SM-G110B/DS) running Android 4.4 KitKat. I found the developer options, and "by mistake", I selected one of the overlays. The problem is that the overlay has a bigger resolution than what my screen supports, and it doesn't let me touch the screen (Overlay #1 1280x720). I have turned the phone off and on again and it didn't work, I took off the battery, pinched it, and tapped on it several times... nothing changed, but that overlay is still there and doesn't let me touch the screen. How can I turn this overlay off?

Hard-bricked with dead bootloader Samsung Galaxy Pocket (GT-S5300)

You can see the original files that I used for the partioning from this website, as well as the other links : https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=F968213B88AADBF5!127&authkey=!AH0DTuPbDvUS7s4 I live in Sri Lanka, and apparently it is not official in my country. The Samsung Service Center does not support my phone, as I bought it from another shop. I followed all the instructions in the guide. Everything went fine, and it said that it had finished partitioning 512 MB from my 2GB Internal USB Storage (My 16GB SD card was inside the phone as well during the time of partitioning, but it was not partitioned and works fine when inserted it to my SD card reader/writer). it came back to the screen that said Re-boot into recovery mode. I pressed the reboot into recovery mode, and the screen went blank. After that, I could not boot it normally, and also into recovery or download mode. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Pocket (GT-S5300). My phone was rooted with a file (I do not have that file, and the Dropbox download link was lost), but my phone worked perfectly after that with no bugs. It ran on Android Gingerbread (2.3.6) and out of the 960mb of internal space, about 880mb was full. Note : The old links are no longer there and are dead. The only place to get the files is from the link mentioned above. I would appreciate if anyone could help me. Thanks and best regards, Sanoo

Possible Virus; Eratic Behavior on Galaxy Pocket Neo
Some time ago(a few months) I've bought a [Galaxy Pocket Neo](http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_pocket_neo_s5310-5391.php) from a local internet store, which isn't really famous (actually everyone I asked knew nothing about it). It turned out to be a branch of [mobileshop.eu](http://www.mobiles...
Some time ago(a few months) I've bought a [Galaxy Pocket Neo](http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_pocket_neo_s5310-5391.php) from a local internet store, which isn't really famous (actually everyone I asked knew nothing about it). It turned out to be a branch of [mobileshop.eu](http://www.mobileshop.eu) , which was also unheard of by me or anyone I know. I'm saying this because I cannot be sure whether the OS itself was bought infected or with a backdoor or something like that. After several weeks of using, I've noticed rapid battery drain overnight, from 70% to emptying(the phone was turned off when I woke up). Not sure whether it's important, but sometimes, when I turned it on again, I got report that battery is on 252% or similar numbers - I assumed wrong calibration. The weird part is, when my phone 'survived' the night (happened a few times), and I tried to use it in the morning, it felt like I was fighting with someone to control the phone, like someone was tapping on my screen - except no one was near me. I solved that problem once by turning it off (took me a couple of minutes, the other *one* was fast), and when I figured out I could just remove the battery I used that 'technique' (duh, mornings). Then I'd just turn it back on and it'd be normal, for the rest of the day. After a few days I've started turning off wi-fi&sync (mobile data was always off), and my battery only have lost a couple of percent. When I turn them back on in the morning, it's normal. The thing that persisted is the silencing of the phone and/or putting it on vibration. I'm sure that didn't press the button accidentally or something, that can happen even when the phone is just sitting on the desk. From what I've noticed, the screen doesn't turn on, but I hear the vibration. Cannot tell whether that happens overnight, since my phone is usually on vibration/silenced during that period of the day. I've checked the app permissions, didn't notice anything weird (if you could instruct me for what to look, I'd be grateful). Only non-play app I've installed is the Youtube Downloader from github. So, does anyone have any idea what I'm dealing with? I'm quite new smartphone and Android user, but I know my way around desktop PCs/Linux/Java/some C and experimenting with them, so any help is welcome. If it is a virus, what is the best way to remove it? From what I've read, the Android antiviruses aren't really effective (and if there are any that could help me, please list them), and custom ROMs should erase everything (I'm ready to take that step if needed), but are there any more options? Rooting the phone and uninstalling everything? If it's a bug or something I'm missing in settings, please notice me, preferably with instructions how to fix it. Thanks.
