Please make it stop

I rooted my phone yesterday and since then my phone had been doing these weird transitions, like shutting the screen off like an old TV with the white line in the middle and from the recent apps, the apps slide open by being pulled to the top left corner (imagine resizing a picture). If I open recent apps from an app, the open app also has a little fly in for the app logo/icon. This didn't happen before so I know it doesn't have to. But I can't find where to change it in settings. I have 4.2.1 and also using Apex Launcher. I haven't knowingly installed any ROMs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you root then get Apex? Or the other way around? Have you tried rebooting? Clearing Cache in recovery?

I had Apex before. My settings seem to have transferred back fine but that was my first thought. However I can't find anything in the settings that might be doing this.

I have rebooted. That was to fix another problem, but it didn't help with this.

I don't know what "clearing cache in recovery" means. I saw the person do it in the root video but that's it.

The transitions you are describing are stock for android 4.2.1. I don't see what the problem is if you don't want them get rid of apex launcher and possibly use a different rom

The problem is I don't like it. I updated to 4.2.1 about a month ago and it wasn't doing this. I guess the reset cleared the 4.1.1 "memory". Not sure why I need to get rid of Apex. Can you not have a launcher and a ROM? Will any ROM allow me to change the stock behavior or do I need to look for something in particular?

Sorry for what are probably basic questions. New to the whole rooting thing. Thanks for the help.

You can have a launcher and a ROM. The only reason I was pointing to Apex was, not that I dislike the launcher, but thinking it was the launcher and your device weren't getting along well.

What did you use to root the phone? If you used commands to unlock it then nothing should have changed. If you used a program to root then there could have been other changes, such as a new kernel and ROM. The changes you are describing would have been at the ROM level, which could also have included a version of Apex with the settings you are describing set to default.

I would suggest uninstalling Apex and re-installing it. See if that clears any issues.

I used a toolkit. I think it just installed a recovery, not a ROM. How would I know?

I'll go back to stock launcher and see if that helps too.

I'll bet it's been going that since you upgraded Android, you just didn't notice.

Well, one thing's for sure, I'm not going to unroot to find out. LOL Will definitely be looking for something to change it.

I found it. Thank god. The fading in and out, pulling up from the corner, fly ins, and that TV transition were driving me bonkers. Pick one transition and stick with it. There was no need to throw every transition in the book (or rather, system) at me. It was in developers options so it wasn't on before. I didn't have access to the developers options until I did the tap 100x process while rooting. Glad that horrible incident is behind me. Thanks to all who responded. It also made me realize I have a lot to learn about being rooted.
