well im looking for a template so that i can trace and cut for a screen protector.. i know you can purchase screen protectors that fit the hero but i have yet to find one that fits the entire screen ( to the very top of it ) most only cover to the logo at the top fo the screen.
and my wife wants a mirror one. so she bought one ( without my knowlage ) but it needs to be cut to fit ...
Oh ok. Once I get home from work I'll see if I can dig something up (if some hasn't beat me to it).
I can just whip up a black square that's 320x480 for ya... stay tuned.
Here you go. Just print this out and it'll be 320x480 pixels (size of every droid phone from g1 to hero, excluding the newer ones)
I would believe that he's looking for a template covering all the glass...not just the section that is over the screen.

Good work but he is looking for something to cover every inch of the glass. More precisely, there is a little curve at the top that I am pretty sure he wants to cut out exactly so that you can't tell there is a screen protector on.
Not sure if you ever found what you were looking for or if you even still have a hero but i am about to make one. I have a new phone coming moday so i am going to apply tape to old one and cut it out and draw it up in autocad. stay tuned
Edit: Ok here it is. i have also created a new thread to hopefullly have stickied. please search Screen Protector Template (PDF) and vote the thread, thanks.

how about one for the Droid 2?? ive searched high and low cant find one for the life of me
Hello im quite new to this site, and have been looking around for the root to come. but in the mean time i have ordered a new cover and it came today. i have now disassembly'ed my phone and changed the cover, this turned up to be a little difficult. 8 scrues at start and then its just clicking off with some gentle force the rest of the way.
but then i bumped into a little problem.
The touch module itself is actually glued to the front cover and is very difficult to take of.
I did manage to get it of, by using a hairdryer and blowing hot air into the frontcover with the glass touch module. by varming it up the glue got soft and i used a hobby knife to like cut under the glass where the glue is.
u have to be very VERY carefull coz i manage to get a little crack in the glass, coz i didnt heat it enough, i would recommend being 2 person for this, 1 to hold and cut the screen off and 1 to heat the glass at same time. i did it one person and got a little crack innit.
but got it off and mountet it into my new white cover, but the screen still being the black color around, wich actually looks really sleek so its not entirely white in front.
I was really scared that i might had broken the Touch module coz of blowing such heat onto it. and was nervous when turning my phone back up. but it seems that it works perfectly wich was a relief :'D
but i just wanted to post this to people if they were interrested and maybe have thought about changeing cover them selfs..
i my self am not used to disassembly phones this was a first and i think i did pretty good aside from a little crack in the screen glass. ^^
just be carefull and gentle and you can suceed without a screen crack like me its not a big one just a little one u barely notice but still
thanks for reading this and sorry for my english i have pictures that is in the link below just copy and paste in adress

Couldn't get into the photobucket album !
Do you feel that the white case is an original one ?
should have fixed the album since it was set to private but now its public.
i havent really seen the original white cover but the back cover on original black cover you know its kinda rough black. while the white one i got is smooth and blank, it does have the xperia text and sony ericsson logo. but try checkout the pictures they should work.

I mean does the back cover fits perfectly like an original one?
hey bro can ya tell if the white body is original???????
also can the guys at se service centers can get it done for me???
but hey i can still see the black body part in the white one.....was that intentional???
does the phone feel the same as before....i mean b4 changing the the body.......n plz get sum info on the cover??????
which one do you feel is better white or black???
Hi ****nap,
thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Do you allow me to add your pictures to first post in my "Upskirts" & "Disassembly" Thread?
(You find a post in my Signature from where you can jump into)
I'd be happy if you read my guide and add some suggestions.
still dont really know if its original, havent seen the original white and dont know how the original feels. dont think the service center will do it for you, but you check into it. yea the front still has the black part, it was not intentional, but thats how it came out coz of the touch module being black. if u want complete white u will have to buy a touch module that is already white. and it aint cheap

The white back cover doesnt feel the same as the black back cover. the black cover got that rough soft feeling. and the white that i got is smooth. doesnt feel the same, but thats only the back cover.

Really cool to see the things inside my phone! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, I've been looking for a teardown like this. Would have been nice to see the screen and capacitive buttons removed but I've heard it's quite difficult (according to a Sprint tech that worked on mine and ultimately sent for a replacement).
WOW! He makes it looks so easy! haha Still not for the faint of heart...
Nice find! Think it was me who found the site but didn't see this which is great as it will guide me into replacing the part I need. Thanx! Think this should be stickied as well as the site in case anyone need parts and video guide.
Pretty cool, thanks for sharing that.
Like I said to asj, this is also a great find. If I keep this phone nearly as long as I had my Vogue, I will definitely need this, as I pretty much rebuilt my vogue from the ground up because it was cheaper than getting a new one at the time (it's a long story how a family member stole my upgrade - another classic Sprint fu** up).
Taking apart phones and small electronics is frightening, but it can be a ton of fun. If you have an old phone lying around that you don't use I highly recommend taking a shot at dis- and reassembling it just for the experience. Make sure you have all the right tools before you get started and have an easy way to catalogue all of the pieces and keep them in order while you are doing the tear down.
Just don't do it on a phone that doesn't need it or that you do need!
I took mine apart last night. Not too bad. It took me about 20 mins to take apart and put back together. Still trying to find a way to tighten the slider? I will take the screen apart tonight to get the slider out of the rails. hopefully that will help.
Can they make a video on how to put it back together

Just do everything in reverse or start with the video guide at the end and work your way to the front

Shouldn't be to hard to take apart, as with working in a car is all about having the right tools and not taking short cuts. Since I was younger I always took stuff apart so it comes naturaly to me disassembing and assembing stuff.
Glad all of you found this helpful! If I find any more useful information I'll definitely post it up!
-D3luSi0n4L
It's one of the reasons why I keep coming back here is to learn things about the Epic phone.
I think once 2.2 is finally released I may try out the custom ROMs.
I took mine apart hoping to find a way to fix the screen wobble but could not figure it out. When I lie down and have the phone facing me, keyboard closed, you can hear the tapping everytime I hit the screen. Really annoying.
If anyone finds a way please post it. Thnx.

I'm assuming this is for warranty purposes? I have done this three times and they haven't noticed a thing:
1. Download http://shipped-roms.com/download.php?category=android&model=Ace&file=RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed.exe
2. Double click the downloaded file and press next.
3. Press win + r. type %temp% and press enter. Search for rom.zip.
4. Copy rom.zip to the root of your sdcard and rename to PD98IMG.zip (note, do not rename to zip.zip)
5. Reboot to bootloader by helding volume down and pressing power.
6. Press volume up when it asks you if you want to continue.
7. When it's done, check "unknown sources" and enable usb debug. Then download This, install it and select "temproot now". After it is done, select "attempt permroot" and grant any superuser permissions. The phone will reboot.
8. Relock your bootloader with this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9525635&postcount=2 First select radio S-On and grant superuser permissions. Then select stock CID (find your cid from this list: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10007960&postcount=206)
9. Go to settings and find the option "factory reset" click this.
10. Check for any ota updates and install them.
11. Now you're done. Remember to remove the PD98IMG file from your sdcard.

I may be wrong but I don't think a broken LCD will be covered by your warranty unless you have an accidental warranty also.

Also fairly sure its not water,its not been near any,

It looks like the sun shining through clouds lol. My inspire has something almost similar, its like if you dabbed your finger in a thing of oil and ran it across a piece of paper, that's what it looks like. Imo I guess whoever supplies the lcds may have some bad batches or something.

If I leave me phone lying about, my son gets hold of it and puts it straight in his mouth, and when I get it off him, it's like it's been dropped in water lol
I bought him a display phone and leave it lying about, it's the same phone, same weight, same material, just not a real working phone, it fooled him and he's happy with that, and it stops my phone getting damaged when he gets hold of it.
On a side note, download an app called "Toddler Lock", it makes noises, shapes, and draws upon the screen being touched, so I sometimes open the app and let my son play with my phone, stops him from putting it in his mouth as he's too interested in the screen, touch, and sound. Great app, and it's free. It also cannot be exited unless you touch each corner of the screen clockwise.

Hey guys, so my Nexus 4 arrived this afternoon, I love it except for some little things like the not top-notch camera and the display (gotta correct the gammas, no big deal). I don't wanna break it so couple days ago I ordered the Ringke Fusion case because I like the "bumper+clear back" fusion, just love it.
I figured out you can actually customize the background of the case, by cutting out like in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJSDTJR0qnM.
Till here it's ok; i'll just get a back protector and cut something out. Problem is, I don't have a back protector nor I wanna get one; i need something else. I wanna download a background, import it in photoshop/gimp/whatever and on another level I wanna put the N4's back cover (just the borders tho, for cutting) with the "Nexus" and the "LG" logo so that when I print the whole thing and cut it I have those logos printed and I don't have to write or cut those.
Problem is, where am I going to get one of those back cover picture,just the borders and the LG and the Nexus logo with needed REAL LIFE proportions? Any ideas on how should I get it?
Thanks

Nevermind, I figured a way out.

Sure, no biggie.
You just gotta resize an image you want in GIMP (you don't have to be a professional photo editor, I looked up quickly for a tut on the inet) to match the size of the actual phone (I put it on the laptop's screen to measure things out). I then found a Nexus logo image, an LG logo image, and just sticked those three imgs together (no big deal here as well, look for a quick tutorial on the internet) with GIMP. Printed and bam it works.
