Along with ordering the FFC v2, I am looking to replace the rear housing and camera lens on my phone. I've scuffed it up and it interferes with taking clear shots.
The part is available at Global Direct Parts:
globaldirectparts.com/Samsung-T959-Back-Housing-p/smsng6085950.htm
I am newb so I cant post links. You have to cut and paste.
The minimum purchase quantity is two, so i was hoping someone else would go in with me.
PM me please.

My lens cracked today (don't know how) and I want to get it fixed. Can I take it to a camera shop and have them outfit it with another type of lens (example: leica lens)? Any photographers here or people who work in a camera shop?
I have some cameras that I can pull a lens from. Just wanting to know if this were possible.

I would suggest taking it back to Sprint and see if they can fix it for you. Not to sure about camera shops but you can see what they say. Give it a try and let us know what happens.

You didn't crack the lens

You cracked the cover. The lens is under the front cover. I've thought about removing mine since I think the cover is causing some of the photo issues that are out there.
Remove the cover and see if the pics improve!
It would cost hundreds of dollars to custom build a lens and mount it to the evo, if any camera shop will even attempt to do that.
I wanted to swap the lens. I don't use a cover with my phone since I did the scraped paint mod. I'm surprised it broke since I don't put anything in left pocket but my phone.
I saw a post on here about people adding a camera lens attachment to the Evo. I'm pretty sure the lens can be replaced and I have a spare leica camera that's not working.
I would imagine the process to be similar to getting the lens for glasses cut to size but maybe more tedious.

As someone already pointed out it's the cover which cracks, not the lense.

So the camera lens for my G3 broke. I didn't drop it or anything, it just broke. I bought a replacement part just for the lens cover. When I was trying to take apart the lens, I noticed that it has a seal on the top that keeps the lens cover connected. Can i take off the cover or will there be problems because of the seal? I've attached a link so you guys know which part I'm talking about.

Are you trying to take the glass out of that piece you linked to, and attach it to the one on your phone? It seems it would be easier to replace the entire piece rather than just the glass.
If not, I suspect the seal is designed to hold the glass in place and prevent dust from getting inside the assembly. As long as you make sure the new glass piece is sealed somehow (glue?), it will probably be OK. But I've never done this, so to some extent I'm guessing.
Update?

Hi - what was the outcome for this? The same thing has happened to my phone and I see that part you linked. Could you explain whether you installed the part and whether your problem was because you were trying to separate just the glass from the part or whether you had trouble with just removing and then installing that new part. Some pics to help us out?
Thanks.
Hello, i am one of the lucky ones who's camera cracked. Unfortunately i have been smart enough to throw away lens and bracket assuming they are sold together. Now i have spent a few days looking for it without any luck.
There are plenty places offering the glass lens but noone the bracket. Has anyone purchased it somewhere lately and has a link for me? Ideally in Australia but i guess i can't be to picky.
Just buy a spares device. Smashed screen or dented body. So long as the rear cam is intact you should be golden.
I wish I stole my HTC M9.
I bought a used Nexus 5X from Swappa that recently had the screen/digitizer replaced by the owner. Well, I got the phone last week and everything seemed to be working smoothly and properly, but, while looking closely at some of the pictures I took with the phone's camera, I noticed some blurry marks/spots visible on the images. At first, I figured that they were probably just on the outer lens, but it turns out that the blurry marks/spots are actually showing up on the photos taken with the phone after I've copied them over to my computer.
For the record, I did take the back cover off the phone and tried cleaning/wiping off the actual camera lens with a Q-Tip and a pointed Q-Tip, but it did not seem to help at all with removing the marks/spots. So, it looks like I may need to try to replace the main/rear-facing camera on my phone, if that is going to be realistic for me to do.
After doing somr searching, I found some links for buying the actual rear-facing camera module replacement part.
For $13.88 from DIY Mobile Repair https://www.diymobilerepair.com/lg-nexus-5x-rear-camera-replacement
And for $17.99 from Repairs Universe http://www.repairsuniverse.com/lg-n...JL6woQtVLGseJUQDWFHAWwAODwICsmVdbxhoC5Ffw_wcB
And here are some DIY instructions from ifixit.com for Nexus 5X Rear-Facing Camera Replacement https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Nexus+5X+Rear-Facing+Camera+Replacement/60276
Does anyone think this should realistically be as simple as it seems to be to replace the rear-facing camera? And is there any reason to think that either of these replacement cameras would result in photos with image quality that is not as good as the original camera's pictures? Or should these replacement parts be just as good as the OEM camera in the phone? I actually chatted with someone on the DIYMobileRepair.com site and was told that the camera module is exactly the same as the OEM camera module that comes in the phone, so I would think that the resulting photos would/should be just as good after replacing the camera module. However, I can't help but be concerned about this when buying the camera model from a third party seller. So, I'm hoping that someone on here has actually replaced the rear-facing camera module and can comment about this.
With that stated, has anyone on here actually replaced the rear-facing camera module for a Nexus 5X? And if so, where did you buy the replacement part? And how much did it cost you? If anyone has actually purchased a replacement camera, if you would post a link to the specific part you got, and describe how difficult it was to install on your Nexus 5X and your results, that would be very much appreciated.
Also, here are some pics taken with my Nexus 5X:
http://imgur.com/kJUmLsN If you look just above the above the LG logo, you can see the mark that looks like a partial "C" or the left half of a circle, and would seem to have possibly been left by a fingerprint, or, now that I think about, it looks like it is likely actually an imprint mark from the the camera's lens assembly. There's also a little round spot/mark to the right of that one, close to the edge of the right side of the back cover.
Here's another picture http://imgur.com/QgXikAy where the half-circle mark is just below and between the openings for the fingerprint reader and the camera lens.
And here's another one http://imgur.com/GxGYo0U where the half-circle mark is just below and to the right of the "n" in the nexus imprint, and there's also a small dot/spot up higher and to the right of the fingerprint reader opening, close to the right edge of the back cover.
And one last photo for this post http://imgur.com/q8jnvHO where the half-circle spot/mark is in the middle towards the bottom of the image, and where there's also a small dot/mark on very the bottom of the right side, just to the left of the blue border line.
And here are some photos where I highlighted the marks/spots/dots:

Also, if anyone has any suggestions about what else I might be able to do to try to clear/clean off the marks that appear to be on the inside of the camera lens, please do let me know.
Sorry for the lengthy post. And as always, much thanks in advance for any helpful replies that I may get!
I bought a replacement OLED screen for my S20 5g (SM-G981U) and the seller on eBay made it a point to advertise that their S20 screens already have the selfie camera installed - it didn't! No big deal I say and tried to transplant old bracket (its more like hot glue, plastic & foam) and it can't be done; it fell apart literally looking at it... I guess this is why this seller made it a point to say his screens have them pre-installed. Now my selfie cam is blurry, keeps trying to focus. if I put pressure on the camera its better; I tried double sided thin adhesive foam on the back but cant fix it. Anyone have a solution or a link for a bracket?
see 5:18 of this video and you'll see the issue:
