Yes, you can use whatever colour.
It's just a real pain in the arse to heat it up and carefully pry the glass off - but it's worth it if you're cheap and patient.

cracked my screen....

So year i dropped my phone in the bathroom and cracked the screen and now i can only see a tiny portion of the screen. Considering i also have the newton ring on my phone i think its time for a new lcd and digitizer. Would someone with experience in this area take a look at the following link and let me know if this is all i need for a replacement.

You didnt say what phone you have!
If you have a Touch Pro then it looks right - i believe the fuze screen is slightly different (no front camera) so if you use this screen on the fuze you may see something through the camera lens.
I replaced mi display , it took me 2 hours to do it, but finally it worked fine. The only issue was the new display has a different color, the digitizer just worked perfect, even better than new, but the color is different, now the colors are less vivid and less brighter, I will try to adjust the display color settings, I will do it tonight.
oh wow good eye didnt even notice that. i guess ill go with this one i just found.

hey GussMiami, do you DIY your screen replacement?
I would like to replace my LCD by myself, but I do not know how to do it,,, tried to youtube it with 'replace touch pro lcd screen' or some thing like that but came up nothing.
tq before,,,
ps: if I have blue spots on my screen, is it some kind of dead pixels?
Xue v.2 there are a couple of guides around on replacing the screen http://www.att-phones.org/att-htc-fuze-user-manual.html
I ordered a new Digitizer and LCD for my Fuze yesterday as mine is somewhat scratched up, the job does not look particularly easy, at the moment I am debating finding someone else to do it for me vs possibly wrecking my phone doing it myself, from what I have read the hardest part is making sure not to break any cables/wires (commonly I see people breaking the speaker wires).
oh thank you naiku,
well, I think I will buy the lcd+digitizer for 30usd from ebay and have htc care to replace it for me,,,
plus I need to fix the keyboard as well. Let the pro doing the fix LoL

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE SGH-I727R Broken top screen

Hi Folks,
So I broke the top screen on my SGS2 LTE SGH-I727R (ROGERS)! the Touch screen works and so the display!
First, I'm looking for screen replacement but all I get is replacements for SkyRocket with AT&T logo on them! Please anyone has a reference?
Second, I'm not sure of what I should repair! available screen naming varies with titles that include Digitizer, touch screen, top glass screen, full LCD screen. I'm confused whether to replace whole screen!
Thanks for help in advance!
Anyone please!?
I did the same thing to my phone this past weekend. The screen underneath looks fine, only the top glass is cracked but the phone is still fully functional. I have this exact thread in the Q&A section. After reading/searching, we need the touch panel aka digitizer - see this link for an explanation (we don't need the LCD, which is the expensive part!):
http://www.parts4repair.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket-i727-complete-screen-assembly-with-bezel/
In my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680623 someone said they sell these everyday on ebay for 50 bucks or less, but I sure as h3ll haven't been able to find one. If anyone has gotten one of these in the past or can help us out please let us know!
Ebay has just the glass lens for $20
any luck?
Hey,
I've only had my LTE for about a week..but i was wondering if you had luck changing just the glass, or if it's impossible (as a lot of videos out there lead me to believe?).
I also have the skyrocket..no gorilla glass....
anyone? !
Did anyone ever find a resolution to this? I'm only able to find i727 replacement parts and it is my understanding that the i727r is a different size device..

[Q] LG G2 - Screen Cracked

Hi Devs, Members and Guests, how you doing? To be honest I was doing well until my LG G2 cracked on the top just a bit and now I can't pull my notification bar or do any operations on the top of the phone...
I re-created with Paint what happened to the top of my phone:
((check the attachment of "How My Phone Is.jpeg"))
The red and orange is exactly where the crack of the phone is, not that thick, however it's noticeable. The black marked area is where you the phone does not operate (you touch it and it doesn't do anything). The green line is safe area. Also, I'm running CM11 (recommended for any LG G2 users) with TWRP and runs very good.
Now the problem is that I really need my phone fully working again.. It works but I have to do some weird stuff so I can at least text someone. So here I got some questions that you guys can help me out:
1) How much you guys think it is to fix the screen?
2) Is it possible to change the resolution or the display in the phone so it will be displaying the ROM in the working area of the phone? Here is what I mean by that:
((check the attachment of "Question.jpg"))
3) Any other solutions you guys got?
Thanks for all of you who read and those who can reply and help. Have a good day
First off, fixing the phone will cost you, if you do it yourself, around $60-$70 bucks. That is for the LCD+Digitizer+mid body assembly. And that is by far the easiest way to repair the phone. You just switch all your internal parts from your old assembly over to the new assembly and pop your back cover on. Easy breazy. I just did this myself and my phone is now working great. As for your second question about changing the resolution, no. You can change your resolution but it will not "shrink" your screen to the usable portion. Your only option is to replace the LCD and Digitizer.

[Q] Screen Issue / Burn In / Dead Pixels??? 32GB Galaxy S6 920W (Canadian Version)...

Hi All... Been a while since I posted here on XDA and hoping for some assistance.
My S6 recently seems to have an issue with the screen (mainly on whites) where there is a dark streak that runs vertically on the left side of the screen from top to bottom and slightly to the right on the bottom (makes an L shape) that seems to ONLY be noticable in NATURAL light.
What I mean is under any lamps or fluorescent lighting it is not noticible or very minimally but as soon as it's in the sun it's as plain as day.
I've taken screen shots of the issue and even in the screenies, it's only noticable in natural sunlight and not in "fake light" so I don't know if posting a screen shot will help but I have none the less.
Has anyone e else had this issue and if so has there been a way to fix it?
I'm wondering if anyone else has this same issue and if so has anyone been able to fix it?
Please let me know...
Thanks,
Hey, I am currently using my galazy s6, I watched your screenshot but actually, even when I am in sunlight I cant see a problem, so the problem is in your screen itself and when you take a screenshot and send it, no one can see it ( like when your screen is cracked.) So your screen might be faulty, I think you need to go to where you purchased it and hope for replacement.
Thanks for the reply. Ya... I've gone back and they have seen the issue but if course since I've had the phone for more than 2 weeks they won't do a replacement on the phone and want me to send it for manufacturers warranty. I even have the extended warranty that I pay 10 bucks a month for but NOW they told me that if I want to use that I would have to pay a 250 dollar deductible for a replacement...
I just don't understand why it's only noticible under sunlight?...

Note Edge N915S Screen Replacement Question

So I recently broke the screen to my phone and it was working fine but yesterday I started to get lines across the screen and cannot use anymore.
Figured its time to finally buy a replacement screen and I want the one already on the frame. I just can't seem to find one specific to the Korean models the 915 S/K/L.
Instead there are only ones for 915 P/T which is the American models. After looking between the 2 frames many many times I can only spot one difference between the two which is the positioning of the thermal tape right under the one for the CPU. All in all I think it should fit but still hesitant. Does anyone have experience replacing screens on the Edge who has any experience you could share with me.
The first picture is of the frame from my N915S and the second frame is for a listing I have been looking to buy which is for the N915P
Welp, I just tried my luck and ordered the part in and it fit everything without a problem.
For anyone in a similar situation for me it seems like the frames for this phone will fit with all models.

My screen is broken. It's not annoying but i hate it. How in lord's name did you manage to replace your glass and how much did it cost and how much did it cost to replace and where did you replace it at?

Replaced it myself, it's easier to buy the entire frame assembly + screen rather than just the screen as taking off the screen off the frame is a pain.
Also if you buy frame + screen you have a better chance at finding OEM parts rather than chinese knockoff.
Gotta warn you though the replacement for a screen costs more than some whole phones.
Something like this would be optimal: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Excellent-Bl...241748?hash=item4af43d5b94:g:VxkAAOSwT4lWThZa
Tutorial on how to swap over all the parts here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYEwEHRki_8
Mine is the Korean model the 915S and the frame I bought was for 915T and 915P but everything still fit so it shouldn't matter which model frame you buy.

Thanks I'll check it out. And yeah while the pricing is huge, this phone is a one of a kind phone. It still doesn't justify the pricing but I'll let it slide because of how much this phone has helped me out with the multi screen and its note taking features

That's the exact same reason why I wanted to get this fixed. I usually sell off phones before buying a new one but want to keep this around as the first curved phone I ever owned.
Also found out that the headphone jack needs to be replaced with the one that matches your motherboard. Was trying to get audio to work in my car for hours before finding out that the issue was on the phone haha
I have ordered this one
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Fast...90.html?spm=2114.13010208.99999999.274.5R2YVv
for a common dreaded problem of having vertical green lines appearing on LCD from nowhere (although my fault, it got it dropped on flat floor from my shoulder height a couple of times). In my case the green lines are appearing on the edge panel itself only, so the old LCD maybe useful for me to keep just for an emergency replacement as well.
Does this one looks ok, I mean any of the replacement LCD+Frame+Digitizer combo ordered from either ebay or china would rather be coming from only a handful or sources (resellers), and maybe only one or two manufacturers (who might be manufacturing it as OEM as well).
How was your experience with the replacement LCD, does it looks and feels just like original in screen clarity, colours and touch responsiveness.
Thanks for sharing your experience.

I bought mine with a cracked screen and replaced it myself. It was my first time repairing a smartphone and I followed the same instructions as the Youtube video linked above.
I found the process quite easy, luckily most of the components have screws and the video is easy to follow so I was done after 20 minutes. I can't compare with the previous screen by if I do a comparison with other phones we have at home (Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro, Nexus 6) the screen looks fantastic!
