Glass Replacement - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hello
Was wondering if anyone had replaced their glass before on their Note 2 and if they had any suggestions of the process. I have watched several videos regarding the procedure and feel fairly confident in performing the task but figured I would reach out and see if there were any other suggestions or things to keep in mind during the process.
Wife dropped hers in the driveway, 3 car wide, and I could hear the glass breaking all the away across it. Everything works good, just shattered the glass.

You have to get a heat pad to heat up the glue to be able to take the screen off then you have to get little plastic like guitar picks and go around the outer rim to take it out you should be able to figure it out from there

Keep in mind unless you do it absolutely perfectly you're going to break the digitizer or LCD and need a full replacement. Also keep in mind unless you have a 100% dust free environment and UV adhesive, you're not going to be completely happy with the results even if you're successful.

It can be done but you have to be oh SOOOOOOO careful and pretty much perfect. The digitizer and glass beneath are so very delicate.
I removed the glass from my broken screen/digitizer and trust me it would be hard to do this without breaking the screen/digitizer.
If I had to do it with a good screen I would use a very thin blade instead of a spudger. So instead of prying through the glue, I'd cut through so there is no pressure being placed on the screen/digitizer.
Also the glue has to be heat up pretty good and who knows what's too hot for the screen. Anyway it's worth a shot imo

This is true..
Also this is the adhesive you would need

That's for the outer edge, I'm talking about between the glass and the digitizer.

I believe that the glass, screen, and digitizer are all one piece. You have to replace it all at once.

That's obviously not true
It's clearly easier and maybe more practical to get it preassembled but not a must.
As far as the changing the glass as the OP is asking, it can be done. Doing it can save you ~$130

I had mine done by Samsung for 179. Looks brand new and it was faster than expected

Its not that hard. Use a one of the snapable razors so you can control depth. Buy glass off of amazon eparts as they have the adhesive on the glass. Heat it up over and over. Also do this in a room after having the shower on. Only takes like 15 min

Deckoz2302's suggestion to do the work in your bathroom, after running the shower, is a good one. The steam helps get rid of floating dust in the air.
Also, get a can of compressed air to shoot in the phone before you finally reassemble it just to be sure no stragglers got in there.
This is also helpful when applying screen protectors etc.
Please post your results when you're done!

Welp took out some courage drink last night and did it. Took me about two hours taking my time. Would have been better if it wasn't so shattered, but nevertheless it turned out great.
Attached a in progress and completed picture.
Thanks for the advise. Glad to only spend 5 bucks on this repair instead of 200~!
