I dropped the phone and broke the back camera glass cover. I ordered the part online.. but after a few days, a black spot appeared on my lens (if you open the camera app). Initially, I thought it was a dust or something but after the replacement glass came in, I tried to clean it but it won't come off.. so, now I'm thinking it's a scratch. So... it looks like I need to replace the camera. Has anyone else done it? I want to... but, I don't to bother if a replacement won't be the original quality.

It's not that I don't know how... I've watched tutorials. Quality is the issue.
If you need a new camera it looks like you don't have a choice in this so you should do it

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.
how is it going everyone,
i got a problem, it's my first time. Some local shops asked my girlfriend 60€ to replace her camera glass, since we are not living with our parents and we are studying i just googled the problem and saw that glasses&co didn't cost that much so i'm still trying to be able to repair it. The problem seem to be only with the glass, i just ordered online this Toolkit:#291553644760 on ebay.it
hoping it will work, then i ordered this: #331623081947 on ebay.it
i was like: "too easy, something gonna go wrong" AND HERE IT GOES.
today i recived the camera without the lens, here is the problem, should i order a lens? is it easy to put in it? can i do it with my Toolkit or do i need no Toolkit at all? i hope you will answer soon because i have 7 days to send back the camera and try to order one with lens.
Anyway i found this lens, is it what i'm looking for? #351475263688 on ebay.it
BIG THANKS EVERYONE!
i hope someone gonna solve my problem, stay awesome!

If your rear camera is working without issue and you just need the lens assembly, I found this on eBay. It says it's OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer)
It's the gray colored one @$13.99. You would choose the color you need:

I also found this for $8.99.
It doesn't say it's OEM:
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=191680250481&alt=web
As I mentioned, if your existing rear camera is operating without issue, you just need to replace the lens assembly. You can return the camera you purchased and just replace the lens assembly in the correct color needed.
Search for an OEM lens assembly. If searching on eBay, find a seller with excellent feedback, etc. Choose your color and follow the video in the link from the previous post. Installation looks to be straight forward, although I'd do additional research to be certain.
It's really weird that it comes with no glass. Here is what i found http://www.witrigs.com/oem-camera-lens-for-lg-g4-black and need $14.99.
I just tried taking a picture and the screen was all cloudy. Then looked and saw that the lens was cracked.
Any ideas?
Thanks
I have my doubts about buying things off of eBay, BUT that said replacement glass (if the sensor is all fine and good) is only $2.50 so it's worth a shot.
All you should really need is a heat gun to remove the existing glass, but I've never done anything like this before.
