Warning: This might be a silly question.
Dear Reader,
My Galaxy s2 Screen got broken, its the international model GT-I9100.
And I was wondering if it would be possible to replace the screen with :
http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Sprint-...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item3cd3213884
I know it's from a different variant of the phone, but I really love buttons on that variant, and don't want to buy a new phone just because of that.
I would like to know what are the differences that it wouldn't be able to work, or maybe it would work, or might need some custom modifications. I would like to know your opinions and thoughts.
Thank you,
Shardex
Dear Reader,
Any people willing to respond ? I would be very grateful

What about Samsung Galaxy S II I777 screen ? I just checked and the connections to the motherboard seemed to be in the same places. And the size seems to be about the same. But housing size is 1mm and 0.1mm different.

Hye everyone,
1-Samsung Galaxy SIII
2-HTC One X
3-PSP Vita
If i buy 1 or 2 I'm going to sell my SII..
HTC One X looks and feels is really good, I don't mind touching it for the whole day even if I have no friends to call me, but overall specs isn't that impressive if compared to SIII, but SIII body and buttons and everything looks like mammy purse or ultra portable makeup case, or face with acne scar and it hurts me.. samsung.. you hurt me..
Anyway what's your opinion guys?
Who cares ? There are hundreds of these threads already. We don't need another one :-/

I don't want to upgrade my phone, but development gets interesting when there's a better device.. from my experience of being non-experience in world of technology, when there's a better device... A line has been drawn for older device, except for someone is a hardcore programmer....
Now.. talking about PS Vita... mmm.. now that's a device... now guys, let's buy vita, keeping our S2 and stop moving to other devices.

Why? Why don't you just buy a galaxy s3 mini or iPhone to use? Why need to use a shrink screen in a big phone???

Because it's not like this feature would be used always anyway. I'm sure you yourself can think of many situations where this would come handy. I love the huge screen.. don't get me wrong, but it'll be nice if this would be made to work for those situations where you just can't use both hands.
The benefit is obvious here over using a galaxy s3 mini or iphone.. you can have the large screen as well as a smaller one hand usable screen as well.

Why don't you PM him?
I have already checked with the developer.
As of now, he has NO plans to make it for Galaxy Note 2 !!
Below is his reply:
Hi,Note2 uses different kernels drivers, so it is not really possible to do it easily. Also Note2 already has quite a few settings helping with one handed usage. So for now I have no plans for porting this app to Note2.

Dont know but it is awsome for N7000. Wish someone takes initative & make it for N7100 aswell.
What's the point? paid 4 big screen but use part of it..... if it's too big, then buy a smaller screen phone.

The point is that sometimes you just need to do something one handed. The one handed program isn't something you turn on 24x7. It's sort of an emergency option when you need it.

Guys,
Instead of commenting here, everyone please Request the developer to make it for Samsung Note 2.
May be seeing more requests he will consider to work on it !!!
N please dont argue here, if its NOT useful for you, just stay from this thread, very simple
I requested him. But negative reply.

well i don't know what the difference between the two are but if the screen is different between the two versions, it could possibly be the kernel doesn't have the "driver" for your screen?

Best joke I've seen on XDA in a long time!
CyanogenModded Very China-like, from my Samsung Galaxy S III
LG Familyguy59/Beatsleigher
Hello Everyone,
I bricked my galaxy sIII i9300 bought in Europe. Now I am looking for a motherboard replacement and found a i747 motherboard in ebay. My question is can I replace the i9300 motherboard with i747 motherboard? If they are not compatible, can you suggest me a way to replace my motherboard?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Madan Raj
Although to save you having the thread moved or reposting.... the answer is no. You do not want a US model motherboard

Thanks for the answer, but can you please tell me why is not a good idea? I would be glad to know the reason as well.
And about reposting: where should I repost this question?

...because you wont be able to use the phone!
Its a completely different phone with different CPU and graphics card and connects to completely different network frequencies to the rest of the world.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Just outta curiosity, regard hardware and frequency, if their screen are same, is it possible to switch motherboard?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
No idea. Don't even know if the screen is the same or has the same fittings. How many essential components that aren't part of the motherboard need to connect to the replacement and work? What voltage do those components need?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
I think you can switch the screen setup of both models, but not sure. I read somewhere that its possible to switch screens. Let me lookit up and share it with you guys.
I was worried about the motherboard and now it seems I have no other choice than dumping my s3 or wait untill I get a i9300 motherboard
Anyways, thanks guys for sharing the information. Just let me know if have to keep something in mind before buying a motherboard. Any help or suggestions are appreciated!
Cheers!
