Good morning everyone, I have searched high and low for a possible sign that someone has made a Galaxy S2 Housing (not just the back cover) made of metal (aluminium or whichever) and have not found much, although I'm certain SOMEONE must have done it. My phone is out of warranty so I'm not scared to fiddle around with it and have some spare money to tinker with my phone so I don't mind buying some stuff.
One other thing, I have seen some rear cameras available on Ebay for the S2 but the delivery costs have always been +50$ on top of the price of the camera and that's just too much for me to justify. Is there a good website offers these cameras that can ship to Canada?

I just recently bought a used Blue Angel for my Cingular provider.
Let me just say, with this site I am in love with this device. It's the best phone I've ever owned.
One downfall though, this version does not include the camera.
I know other models include the camera, and I expect it's probably just a add-on peripheral and that my phone probably has the port for the camera addon already(Or I can solder one
What I'm asking is, has anybody tried this?
Also I would like to know where I could buy the replacement case/body for it if I can add a camera(my used case is pretty banged up)
I think that your best chance is to swap the case and camera with someone who doesn't use it. Personally I would trow away my camera if I could have that black case of XDA IIs in exchange for it.
Ah crap, it's hard enough finding sellers for cases.
Sellers for cameras? >.<
I'm willing to pay up to 30$ USD for the camera addon for the blue angel though, if all else I'd dremel a hole in my phone >.> <.<
I've done this several times...it is FAR, FAR easier than one might think! A 13/64" hole in the right location, the software off the ftp, and bingo! I actually used the dremel tool on the PPC-6600 case to remove the high edges of the casing so it would fit nicely over the SX66 board. Then I drilled a hole where I thought the camera would be. Now I can see the camera through the back of the casing. After that I just measured from the edge of the little rubber stopper to the center of the camera, and from the edge where the battery fits to the center of the camera. I marked those dimensions onto the SX66 casing and carefully drilled the hole. Ended up with a nice round hole, in the approximately right place (maybe a 0.5mm off center), that didn't interfere with the camera. And oh yes, the camera came out of the PPC-6600! Only problem is the SX66 does NOT have the leads for the flash...but the SX66 comes with the necessary bracket for the camera! Or you could just buy the MDA casing that has the nice camera hole...if you can find one!
I don't care about the flash.
I just need a place to get the camera addon dude.
That's the real kicker.
What in the bloody hell, can a mod get rid of these advertisers please?
Hi, I'm looking for a camera to fit my Blue Angel as well.
I have 2 units, a Cingular's Siemens and a Tmobile MDA I bought in ebay. The MDA had the LCD broke, so I recovered the camera and used in the Siemens that I actually use.
So, did you find anyone who sells the camera?
Thank you
I need a camera too....
Camera, Camera, whos got the Camera?
I have several for sale. Each comes with the necessary driver and template for making the hole, detailed instructions, and I throw in a torx driver. This 1.2 MP is a no flash version, and as BioChaz stated it wouldn't work on the SX66 any how. Contact me if you are interested. $58 per camera set shipped to anywhere in the US I can walk without getting my feet wet. They are listed on eBay along with my moded SX-66 camera phones.

Hi guys,
I've managed to accidentaly scratch the back cover of my Desire right at the area of camera lens which causes my photographs to be very blurry and lacking of detail.
Since this is problem only on my back cover, I though I'd buy the new cover, but unfortunately I can't find any on the internet.
Do any of you happen to know where to buy these parts or would be someone willing to send me their back cover from for example broken Desires? If someone is doing a return, I could also swap mine back cover for theirs, I'd pay every postage of course and all.
Thank you very much and sorry for my English...
if you find no one to swap/sell them theirs then go to the official htc accessory shop to get one, quite expensive though
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com
Go to official HTC webpage, there is an accessory store and they sell backcovers for £15.99.
Thanks for the reply, I just found that link a minute ago (was searching for "back cover" instead of "battery cover" all the time), 20 € for product plus 10€for shipping seems a bit too much...
I'll just wait a day or two to see if I actually find someone to sell me theirs, then I'll buy the new one...
there is one on ebay:

Has anyone seen an original HTC Desire battery cover for sale at the moment!?
Through the wide world of Craigslist I came across a fairly beat up AT&T Optimus G Pro which I promptly bought for a cut rate price. I'm praying to the cellular gods the IMEI holds strong.
It's had a glass swap done on it judging from the missing speaker grill and perfect glass surrounded by a beat up front glass surround. The back battery door needs a replacement and the silver mid plate has seen better days.
I've found many places selling full front glass + LCD + front trim. I have found zero places selling the silver trim mid plate. I also am having a surprisingly hard time finding a black AT&T door. Can any of you direct me towards these parts? I don't care if they're shipping from China as long as I can order them. The usual suspects for parts and eBay aren't turning up much. I'd like to get this puppy back in tip top shape.
This is my first LG since maybe an LG flip back around 1999/2000. As a long time Samsung user I'm impressed after just a few hours with the G Pro. My plan was to bridge a few months till AT&T will sell me a Note 3 off contract from a company store. Since Straight Talk is now shipping LTE AT&T SIM's I wanted to sell my 3G GT-N7100 Note 2 and finally get LTE for cheap. So far I like the phone so much I might keep it for longer!
Thanks in advance for the help.

Well I feel like quite the pioneer since no one seems to know the answer. I bought a silver mid plate for an international E986 and a black E986 door. From the looks of it they appeared very similar. They're shipping from an eBay seller in Spain so I fully expect them to take a month to get here. I'll let you know what I find when they arrive.

I have yet to fine the silver mid plate and need a new one as well the glass above my camera is cracked. Some one help us.
Hello, everyone! I've been gone from here for a long time, but I keep upgrading my devices. My newest one is a Samsung Galaxy Note 3, by T Mobile. Its the best phone I've ever owned! & I love it! But I also smashed the little square glass that covers the rear facing camera and can't seem to find a replacement on fleabay.
Does anyone know of a compatible replacement glass? Or where to get a proper replacement glass? Thanks in advance!

What color is it? White or black?
Can find here: http://www.etradesupply.com/samsung-galaxy-note-3-n9005-rear-housing-white.html

but it's not cheap... if it's not bothering you too much, I suggest you wait a month or 2... the parts will be on eBay for much cheaper. Probably $10-15.
Thank you. White, btw. I had found that same part on fleabay for $32 as well. Little pricey, I ended up purchasing a replacement lens for a note 2. I know its not the same size, but I want to protect the camera and keep the phone sealed up, plus I can't take any pictures right now because they're all fuzzy. For $3, it's worth a shot.
Thank you!
Hi, I just registered to this XDA site, and I'm loving it.
Anyway, I'm thinking of replacing my phone's frame cause the old one got scratched a lot and I don't like it.
Q1. Do you think I would be able to swap out the mid-frame without breaking the LCD and needing to buy a new one? And is a Glass for the LCD and digitizer a must have for frame replacements?
Btw, I have quite a bit of experiences on desktop PCs and laptops along with most other bigger electronics, and I am pretty well informed about what I'm doing cause I really spend a lot of time searching the web and watching other people do these stuff.
Q2. What do you think of buying phone parts from ebay? I use ebay often but not phone parts and when I use ebay, I mostly end up with products that really don't seem to be high quality. Like would the frame that I can find on ebay as low as 3~4$ really be OEM products and if it's not, would the speakers or audio jacks included in the frame be high quality??(I can't use Amazon since I live nowhere near the US or Canada)
Q3. My S5 is a LTE-A model with QHD display 3GB of ram instead of 2 and different CPUs and generally, a little different in terms of specs. Would the frame be compatable with my version?? And are there any ways to check whether other components are compatable too??
