I have a rooted galaxy nexus. Earlier today I downloaded an app to change the boot animations. Everything was working fine. I started to explore other boot animations. I was letting the program (from the market) download and install them. I installed one and went to preview and the screen turned black and stayed black. I pulled the battery out the back and restarted the phone. The splash screen was black and the home screen was black also.
I'm not sure what has happened. I'm not in debugger mode. I tried getting clever and taking screen shots of the phone to see where I should touch the screen but the screen shots came out black!
How do i get rid of this black screen symptom? Thanks

Hi there,
After installing the XXDLH6 ROM of Jelly Bean on my GT-I9300 it works fine when it starts up. After a while however when my facebook app is opened and the screen is turned of by the time out, when I return I can't see the pictures anymore after clicking on them. You see the picture for a few miliseconds and the screen turns black. When you rotate the phone you see the image transition from portrait to landscape and then the screen turns black again. If you then press back the timeline shows again.
Some apps have the same problem (backgammon free). It starts up and the screen turns black. The application runs fine in the background it's just that the screen is turned off.
Tried clearing cache, closing app and restarting but once the problem starts it takes a reboot to solve and then it starts over again after a while.
solution anyone?
Wrong forum, theres a forum for your model

After I install almost any rom, the screen no longer turns off normally. Theres always a little flash before the display shuts off. At first I thought it was linked to the crt animation, however even when I disable crt and disable the animations from the developers settings, the flash always stays. I believe there was a rom that i installed that didnt have this problem, and im pretty sure that one didnt have a crt animation setting. But I can't really find that rom or any rom without crt animation anymore to test with.
Theres a link to a video where I try to show this. Its hard to actually capture since its all very fast, and Im not too good with cameras. But you could still see it.
The first time is turning it on and off with the default rom that came with the phone -- Display turns off normally, no flash before turning off.
The second is with CM10.2 right after installation -- There is a flash before the screen shuts off, but its hard to see with the crt animation.
The third is also with CM10.2 with crt and animations off -- There is still a flash before the screen turns off (seen best in the 2nd to last instance)
The flash mostly comes from the upper right corner area if that helps.
Its hard to see on video because of the changing in lighting from turning the phone on and off, but its very noticable in person.
How can i fix this, or is this a condition on all phones?
Edit: You can see it a lot better in this video after i turned it off and on with a black background
I flashed the google play edition rom to my AT&T m8 and noticed on boot up the whole screen wasn't being used. There were artifacts on the bottom eight of an inch on the screen. This wasn't a big deal until I went back to stock and now it seems android can't decide on my screen size. The screen will continually jump screen sizes where the notification bar will wrap vertically to the bottom of the screen. I've tried wiping everything but the problem persists, it even jumps on the bootup att screen and the htc one logo. Any help would be great!
Added a picture of the artifacts on boot
For some reason a short time of using this tablet the screen will turn green, purple, and yellow and have screen scrolling. Factory reset did not fix the issue, so today the screen was replaced, and the issue still occours. What could be wrong? Defective hardware?
The catch is if you lock the screen it goes back to normal for a while, until the screen messes up again and graphics/colors are all wrong. Locking the screen fixes it over and over. How can this be? Recovery screen has no messed up colors, Boot screen has no wrong colors, could this just be a rom issue?
