Custom made by me, I absolutely love it!

What do you shakabra's think? :)

First of all, I am really happy and surprised at how well this came out. It took some dedication to get everything to fit right and troubleshoot, but it was so worth it!

Story:

I purchased this broken on eBay for $40. It's the white version. It had bad water damage and the screen backlight fuse was blown. After repairing the water damage I had to trace the backlight circuit under the ihs shield and confirm the issue, I fixed it by bypassing the fuse, then I got it to boot, but the shell was shot. So I went all out....

New Parts -

• Screen

• Aux jack

• Blue shell

• Screen protector

• Clear case

I had to rebuild and realign the sliding mechanism to get it to feel normal and smooth again. I also did a micro SD card mod, so I have 32 gb of storage which is the optimal amount if you don't want to effect boot time. I have custom software on it. A few games as of now, huge fan of Motorstorm Arctic Edge. And a Life is Strange theme because why not, we vibe'in. I kept the original white buttons because they seemed better quality and I like the 2 color esthetic.

All in I probably have $100 or less into it, but a ton of time and frustration.

Curious what you guys think, and if there's anything else you would add to it? :)
