Different Lens on Evo

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.

My camera lens is damaged. I want to repair it

Hey guys, the HOX device have a little problem that the camera is too easy to damage and vonrable.
Anyway I want to repair mine.
I found on ebay that I can order the camera lens.
The question is when I get it, how can i change it with the original camera lens glass.
Is it easy to install it? And how do I do it?
Thanks.

If you are refering to the glass on the back cover, i'm afraid you have to replace the back cover completely. If it's the camera module which is broken, you have to disassemble the back cover of the One X and replace the damaged part. Probably you will need a special tool to remove it.
Good luck if try it yourself!
Sorry for bad english

nvm... I cant post a like because I dont have 10 massage here yet.
just search on ebay: "one x camera lens"
you will find it first thing

He is right, the whole back cover has to be replaced mate, the actual lense is built into the polycarbinate cover.
You may be able to replace the lens by itself, but this myfriend is what you call a "Bodge job".

Wow... Thats pretty sucks.
Than how do I replace the whole cover?
Is it hard? Can I do it by myself? And can I order from ebay this back cover part?

use this Video to see the opening Process

Thanks, looks pretty hard I hope i will not break anything...

You can also just use Crystalusion Liquid Glass to try and fill the scratches.

I had a spare One X housing and I wanted to paint it High gloss black. The lens just popped out when I pushed it out. You will have to remove the back housing.

There are special compounds to polish scratches out from clear plastics.

I think that work. I'm gonna buy too maybe. My photos now are blurry and no focus.

I suspect this is a screen out job to fit. Anyone tried?

Mine is still fine, so I won't have to change it by now.
But I assume that you might just use the little plastic lens instead of the whole ring so screen out wouldn't be needed

I just ordered the eBay lens and round frame only. My lens actually has a crack in it (if yours is just scratched, it can generally be buffed out). Before I ordered it, I tried prying along the LED flash to see if I could get the current one to lift up. Going slowly and carefully around the perimeter, I popped off the current lens cover. It can be done, and is sure a heckuva lot easier than removing the entire back housing.

How you do?

Hey Clitoridys,
Can you please explain what kind of glass you used for this and what scissors? Did you have to paste the new glass lens into place?
My hox+ lens is slowly getting fkd more so everyday and I'd like to replace with glass rather than plastic.

Is the camera lens cover part of the back housing?

Is the camera lens cover part of the back housing?
Replacement back housing includes the back lens cover, however in two disasembely videos the camera lens cover was still on the motherboard when removing the back housing.
I don't get it!
I want to replace my back cover because my lens is all scratched.

Pretty sure the lens covers are part of the housing. I'm looking to replace my housing as well do to a drop.

It will come with the housing. It looks like the the lens just gets pulled off because it sticks to the camera. You can see in the pic below where the lens surround was stuck to the housing.

Will it be hard to pull off the lens from the camera module?
Is it glued?

Any ideas guys

This makes no sense. On some YouTube videos the camera lens plastic is not attached to the back housing, and on some videos it is! I don't want to have to take a part my motherboard to remove the camera module to replace the glass over it.
Can anyone clarify?

I think the camera lens is not attached to the back housing since you can find out that the camera lens are sold separately in many phone parts shop like DBX. That means it can be replace. But it is not easy to tear down the camera lens unless you are professional person. So you can also see there are parts like back housing with camera lens.
