I really wanted the front camera, but wasn't willing to spend upwards of $400 for it, comparing a non-contracted TyTN II and a contracted Tilt, or even a$200 difference for a non-contracted Tilt.
So, I'm thinking... Is there any way to get the front half of the unit with the screen and the front camera, just so I can get the full TyTN II?
I'm already CID unlocked and SIM unlocked, just thought I'd try to see if I can take it to the next level...
Yes it can be done, I believe. I did this very same thing with my 8525 after getting my hands on a broken JasJam from someone I know and then performing the necessary surgery (funny, because I really am a surgeon!). Now, there ARE a few caveats here: one, I knew for a fact that the AT&T 8525 and the i-mate JasJam were fundamentally the same hardware, and that the 8525 actually had the socket for the camera, so I just took the JasJam's camera, plugged it in, and replaced my 8525's faceplate with the JasJam's.
Because this device is new, however, you're going to have to wait for some time before spare parts become available. And because most mobile device people are highly neurotic, I don't expect that they're going to part with even a broken device, but you never know.
PDADoc, that's a cool story about the camera surgery. I love it!
Glad you enjoyed it, lol! I just got bored and since I already had my Kaiser device I figured why not? It worked out well enough, so it's in the desk drawer for use as a backup device. I'm vascillating on whether to sell it or not in the meantime.
love the surgery story too..wish you filmed it. "Vascillating"? LOL Yeah you're definitely a Doctor!

interesting. I'd personally much rather transplant a speaker there though. It'd be especially useful for playing videos. Having the speaker on the back for that job is just silly.
does anyone knows if a hermes cam is the same of a tilt cam? i wanna do same as the "surgeon" but on ebay i can only find hermes cams... thank you
I think a couple guys over at hofo have done this with the Kaiser.. Ofcourse the hard part is finding the camera.
Once you do find the camera, cnn.cn has the front faceplate with the camera hole so if you do get a damaged kaiser with a marked up front cover, you can pick that one up for 12.99 plus shipping.

The best way would be to buy it and find out if it works?
I don't know if anyone could give you the answer 100% as most people who have Kaisers with cameras own HTC TyTN IIs and not Tilts. Unless if someone has access to the part numbers for both the Hermies and the Kaiser I don't know if you'd get the information you are looking for.

Yeah - ebay delivers many sources, but none are original LCD. I have bought a used S710 with such a 3.rd party LCD and while it does work, it is by far not as bright as the original one and the color of white is more yellowish. I can tell the difference as I have another (original one).
Replacing the LCD is also a delicate task, some threads over at modaco.com regarding that.
okay just wanted to know a few things
1st can i change the housing to my att fuze for a a non branded htc touch pro housing, where can i get it, and how hard will it be to make the switch ?
2nd i know i will also have to replace the digitizer for a non branded one
ive seen on the non branded htc raphaels thats theres a front facing camera does the att version have the camera or was it scraped ?
3rd and if the front facing camera wasnt scraped how do you enable it?

ok guys i found the htc keyboard and guts for 25 bucks off ebay with everything intact already ordered and i also found the digitizer htc branded not att which is only 20 bucks also gonna order today
i already looked at the service guide which showed me how to take apart
but i havent done it last question was the front facing camera scraped ?
dont wanna order it if it was will be pretty much pointless to order the digitizer
Hi all,
I just broke my screen the question I have is this, I have an att fuze branded Raph, and since the screen is broken and I am going to replace it I was wondering if anyone knows weather or not I could put a Touch Pro screen on with the front facing cam and the hardware would work. I don't know if there is a missing socket or missing support for the cam in the roms but I thought it might simply be an issue like the radio player was at release where a simple cab would fix. My phone is still usable for now but I plan to fix within a couple days so any knowledge would help me make the decision on which screen to buy.
Thanks for any help
Help I Need a camera lens i cracked mine anyone know of a place to get a new one
