Unless you are a professional and/or have experience with separating glass that is fused to an LCD panel, it is likely you will break the entire thing trying to replace only the glass.
This is how you separate the glass from the LCD and put it back:

Unless you have the means and the skill to do that, you will have to replace the entire front panel of the device.
Has anyone already buy a screen replacement foe your moto x play? I broke my screen a few days ago.. i've ordered the replacement on ebay and the seller says the design it's like the original.
Yeah I did and replaced it. What I noticed is that the glue on the very thin black frame that attaches to the screen does not go back on after you have taken it off with a heat gun. Also, be very careful while performing the step of separating the frame from the screen the frame breaks all too easy. Most repair guides don't show you that step as they show the part that has the frame attached to it. Another tip is make sure that you take your time removing the components while using the heat gun... Patience really does pay off. Good luck.

Yup thats what I did. It does feel the same and looks the same.

I also ordered the full kit including the frame.
The display is on par with the original one. Only problem with mine is that the screen glass isn't glued perfectly to the frame/display on both sides on top. You can see the lcd backlight shining through a bit if you view the device from the side.
Fixed it with a back cover ^^
The replacement process isn't that easy, you should have time and good light. A heat gun (or hair dryer) will help as you need to get the battery and the logic board unglued.
Another essential tool will be a high quality Torx T3 screwdriver. The little screws are quite sensible and the cheap china tools will do nothing but destroy them.
With a steady hand and a bit of luck it can be done. :good:
Edit: This video was quite helpful. It's in german but most of the video content speaks for itself.
can anyone suggest me which adhesive should i use for screen replacement[ouer glass only]. beter if anyone can provide me indian site links but any name suggestion will also work.

Bro let me tell u one thing, before buying this glass contact a repair shop and make sure that he will be able to replace it,
Replacing the glass is very tough job to do, it requires a lot of experience, you can even check videos on YouTube about changing the glass.
If the mechanic agrees and is sure he will be able to change glass then only try to buy it.
And don't try to change it by yourself at home cuzz it needs special equipment to replace it.
Good luck
Hit thanks if I helped you

and did u made it?
the linked vid above is for a moto x, no play, but guess its the same. anyone knows what kind of glue he is putting between the screen and digitizer?
yes bro the xplay will be same like that and don't do that yourself because the process should be done by a professional mechanic... i asked some mobile repairing shop and he said it will charge 1500 to change the glass so i decided to change it what about you?
I've replaced mine successfully.
Although it's "OEM", I have noticed quality issues.
The screen is very sensitive to pressure (Distorts when touching screen) and white spots towards the top of the display are noticeable under white pixels.
I believe something is pressing into thee back of my screen but I ain't touching it until I recieve my replacement earpiece.
Pretty modular phone, 3.5 jack, battery, NFC, earpiece and buttons are easily replaceable.
Just be very cautious when putting your phone back together, don't do what I did and just squeeze it all back together in a rush.
After 3 wonderful years of enjoying this device, I finally dropped it in a way that cracked just the front glass that protects the screen unit itself, in the corner near the Camera. Although *everything works 100%* and this damage is merely cosmetic, I want to replace the glass since it is what protects the screen itself.
Does anyone know where I can buy just the glass that protects the screen?
Many thanks!

If I were you I'd buy the screen/glass together as it's nearly impossible to remove the front glass from the screen itself. I just replaced one in a Mate 9, ordering the assembly is way easier.

Hi AJ, thanks again for your quick reply and good advice. I did some research about what you are saying in that it is definitely a difficult endeavor to successfully separate the glass from the LCD without damaging it and indeed it seems you are correct based on how easy it is to destroy the LCD as the following YouTube video so perfectly demonstrates - it is definitely worth checking it out.
Quick question, is the glass and the LCD on the X2 glued in the ENTIRE screen area just like the Samsung's are as in the YouTube video, OR, is it just the double-sided tape that is used AROUND the LCD and no glue in the middle of the screen? If the X2 uses just the double-sided tape *AROUND* the LCD then maybe getting just the glass would work, but if it is glued uniformly like the YouTube then definitely better to get the whole assembly in your link with LCD and glass together.
I'm just worried about the replacement LCD being not as good as the one I have now in terms of quality!
Thanks.

I think I may take the plunge and buy one of these:

It's cheaper on eBay, around $440.

Hi AJ the device looks OK but I prefer a battery higher capacity and at least 5000mAh vs this device at 3900mAh.
Also, the screen is slightly smaller at 6.43in vs X2 at 7in but this is not a deal breaker.

Hi,
Can someone please comment on the quality of these LCD screens for the X2 on AliExpress and whether certain ones should be avoided in terms of originality/quality and overall result?
Looking at the following (see below) items for sale on AliExpress I notice that:
1. They look to be aftermarket and not OEM original part. Will the image look as good?
2. The resolution stated in the item description is 1920x1080 but when I go to my phone menu in Settings->About Phone, it says my resolution is 1920x1200 which is better than 1080. Is this relevant?

Yeah, don't even bother trying to remove the glass - I did and it totally screwed the panel. I've still got the replacement glass if you really want to try! Just buy a complete screen, they're cheap as chips.
I bought this one and it's perfect -

My X2 died in a motorbike crash, seems I landed on the poor thing. Screen glass was totally shattered but the damn thing was still 100% working till I tried to replace the glass .

I've ordered Mate 9 screens from Aliexpress and they are hit and miss. The first one I ordered was perfect. The second one wasn't glued well and wasn't as bright and clear and I ended exchanging it for another one which was fine.
The seller has the resolution listed incorrectly.
Over the weekend I dropped my mix 2s and have cracked the bottom of my screen glass.
I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and fixed this. I have purchased a new glass on eBay: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/263620735738?ViewItem=&item=263620735738
I am planning to take it to a professional repair shop.
Is it likely that they will be able to separate the glass from the LCD and glue on this replacement? Is there any risk of this going wrong and my screen from acting weird afterwards?
No, it is in fact very unlikely they'll be able to separate them.
It will be more expensive but you'll have to get an lcd display and glass assembly all together.

According to this: Ali Express
LCD Only: If the image under the glass is broken and the touch panel is NOT then you only need an LCD.
Touch Panel aka Digitizer: If the top touch panel or aka glass top is cracked or broken but the image under it is fine then you only need the Touch Panel.
Complete Screen with Touch Panel and LCD: If the top touch panel is broken and the LCD image is either black liquid or cracked you need a complete screen.

According to that; If the glass is cracked, I only need the Digitizer replaced.
I am happy to get the whole thing, its just I have already ordered a Digitizer and thought this was all I needed. I could be wrong.
Any recommendation on the type of screen I should purchase for best results?

Hi i managed to change my whole lce by myself. Its quite hard only for heating the glue and opening everything. There is no guide on internet so i just follow mi mix 2 guide. I bought from aliexpress, 60 euro, claimed to be original, checked its JDI from cti app, and very good quality, color also very good, nothing weird, glass also oleophobic.
Any update on this? I'm in the same situation, front glass is cracked but phone otherwise fine. Replacement is only $10, but can just the glass even be replaced?
I just bought the whole LCD/Digitizer for $60, not even going to attempt to separate just the glass

Hey emanuel.caesar,
thanks for your helpful post. A few further questions from my side:
which lcd did you choose exactly? Are you still satisfied with the quality? And the last question Does the video guide for the Mi Mix 2 work for the Mi Mix 2s as well or are many things different? Thank you in advance for a short reply.
Hello,
Is not a good idea to try to just replace de LCD screen. I did this operation many times in the past and I can confirm that's a long operation (~1h30), there's a lot of risks that you break the digitizer and for a good result, you need LCD glue and a UV machine.
So, I think it's a better idea to replace all the screen: LCD + Digitizer.
Any suggested YouTube videos to replace the glass + LCD + digitizer?
Looking at a used phone with broken glass. It's like $10 for glass or $32 for the whole set and if I recall last time I had glass swapped it was like $60 labor and no guarantee the LCD wouldn't break. I'm pretty technical have repaired plenty of phones Android and iPhone. Anyone have a good link for removing the LCD / digitizer / glass unit? Is this like the Samsung where you need to use a blow dryer to heat the adhesive to get it off? Or like an iPhone where you just take screws out and pry the panel out? Much appreciated
Hi Guys,
Is there anybody who has replaced his back glass panel?
I don't want to make any mistake by replacing it.
Any tips ? Heatgun required? Are there any cables around?
That's not the place to ask a questiom.
Yes you'll need a heatgun or a hairdryer, and you can find tutorials on YouTube or Google on how to remove it and replace it
Watch jerryrigeverything on YouTube and maybe ifixit. As far as I remember, the camera flash is glued to the glass so you better don't cut that cable. But you will see in the videos.
I think one plus charges like 28 bucks, I'm going thru them
