Have a cracked camera lens cover on my HTC One M9. Does not affect functionality, however I did purchase an OEM replacement glass and kit. Kit did not come with instructions. Anyone out there know if I will have to remove back cover on phone to replace? If so, does new lens cover glass get glued in place or does it just fit in to the receptacle?

the lens on my back cover cracked when dropped a while back, and to get a good photo i now have to remove the back cover to get the obstruction off... is there anything i can buy short of a whole new back cover? all i need is a sticky piece of glass like the one that comes on the original cover...
thanks!
Why don't you just take a piece of plastic and work on it with sandpaper? You could even use some cd jewel case. The material is usually fragile but if you make a cut on its surface with a sharp knife it will tend to brake along this line. So it's fairly easy to break it down to a rectangular shape roughly the size of the camera cover and work with sandpaper or a file until you have a proper shape. Putting some sticky paper cut to shape of the cover on the plastic (preferably on both sides) will help in achieving the proper shape and will protect the surface from scratching.
Just look around the hose and be creative - i'm sure you'll be able to find a piece of clear, non-scratched plastic somewhere If you feel that the cd-case plastic will be too soft and will scratch too easily you could apply a piece of screen protector to it. It sure isn't worth buying a new screen protector just for that but if you already have one on your phone you could use a piece of it to protect camera cover and get a new one for the screen
As for attaching the cover to g1 back cover, there are many ways ranging from glues to double-sided sticky tapes. Use whatever you have at your disposal (just stay away from cyanoacrylate adhesive aka super glue - its vapor will ruin the transparent plastic).
a new back cover is cheap, like $6.

what is your phone model? Different phones have different camera lens with varied shape. A camera lens can not be just replaced by a plastic stuff as the guy said above and it is a prttey tough thing to shape the plastic. an original camera lens does not much. It may be no more than $1。
Good afternoon,
I did the search, I found many threads about disassembly, but not what I seek.
My front cover is all scratched.
I bought a front cover, but did not bring the digitizer, and I am wonder if it is possible to use the digitizer that comes with the mobile phone and use it with the new front cover. And if it is possible how?
Hmm. What do you mean by a "digitiser"?

You have the front cover, and on the front cover you have the digitizer. But this front cover that i have, dont have the digitizer, so i have to take it from the original front cover and put it on the new, and im asking if is that possible.

Or in other words, i want to remove this system from this front cover and try to put it in another without it.
I'm in the same situation with my X10 Mini Pro. The new front cover I bought has next-to nothing attached to it, unlike the existing front cover.
I downloaded the service manuals, and although they do describe how to replace the front cover assembly, it seems to be assumed that you have the whole multi-component unit (except the ear speaker). So I think I've bought a pup. Next time I'll read the manuals first.
I'll be putting on a gel case and learning to live with the scratches.
I've noticed that my camera is already a little scratched up and I think a year down the line it may be pretty scratched, can the lens be replaced?
Don't think so. U probably need to replace the whole cam.
Anyone have any tips or suggestions on how to prevent camera lens scratch? I hate having a case on the phone, but if the phone is put on a table the lens is in contact with the surface... would a screen protector work?
I would buy any clear screen protector and make the cutout. It shouldn't mess with the clarity.
I put a clear tape over the camera when its not in use,

I've replaced it before on my HTC HD2. It's not so hard, once the bevel is removed the outer glass falls right out. Got my replacement from Ebay.

Camera protection is actually one of the main reasons I love the flip cover by Samsung. The replacement back is just a tad thicker than the stock cover around the camera lens and cause it to recess a bit protecting it from surface scratches from just being placed down.
Hi Guys,
I found a seller on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Back-rear-c...i-2-3-4-Mi2-Mi3-Mi4-Redmi-Note-/272046963773?
Who is selling the replacement glass for my phone, I have a slight crack along the lens that is causing focus issues when I take photo's,
It's cheap and I want to go ahead and purchase it, however before I Go ahead I need to know if I will be able to easily remove the piece and replace it? Is it just held in there by glue? does anyone know or have any experience in doing a replacement?
I changed camera glass on my Xiaomi Note 1 easily. You just need to open a phone and push glass from other side of holder. Replacement glass has adhesive tape on it. The quality of photos was increased very well. Replacement glass can be found on Aliexpress.
I cracked my rear glass and purchased the replacement 'JerryRigEverything' recommended on his how-to replacement video on youtube. Not only did it arrive with a crack, but it has adhesive covering the entire back side and not just the edges. I bought another one on ebay which I just received today and same thing, adhesive covering the entire back (minus the lens and sensors of course), even though the seller assured me the adhesive was only on the edges.
So does anyone have a good source for replacement rear glass that has adhesive only around the edges like the original one?

You can try this one. I think it might have what your looking for. I would just get some double sided tape. I found it works better for me.
