I can get phone calls in fact I was just on the phone with someone, but the screen stays black, so i have to guess where the answer slider is.
The speaker and microphone worked, but is there a way to transfer text messages to my computer?
or to my new phone?

What if I peeled off all the little pieces of glass, would that make the screen work?

I dont know about the texts, if you get them through google voice, you can get them on your computer. As for the screen you can try, but I doubt it will work.

I wouldn't peel off the glass. Assuming you had your phone in USB debugging mode, It might be possible to use a program to intercept the screen and display it on your computer at 6fps (limitation of the debug bridge).

I use this for tech demos at work when demonstrating capabilities with Android/AIR/Flash.

Then you could download one of the backup solutions and run it to get your text messages saved to the SD card in some fashion.

1. Reroot with DMupdater?
2. swap SD cards?
