[Q] Will any digitizer replacement do? - HTC Sensation XL

Hi guys
So I saw this long thread on replacing the digitizer for the HTC Sensation. It says you need to get the (model?) numbers off the digitizer and match it to a replacement digitizer. If they don't match, it says the phone may lag considerably. I heard about the calibration tool and flashing a new ruu to fix issues, but I wasn't sure if that meant any digitizer will do.
Here is my digitizer model number on the ribbon.
I had two questions: Is this the case for the HTC Sensation XL and what numbers should I be quoting eBay sellers in order to find a match?
I intend to buy the LCD and digitizer together as both were cracked.
There are quite a few digitizer + LCD combos with a wide price disparity between them. Here's an eBay Australia listing.
I suppose I would buy this one if it were suitable.
Thanks and apologies if my searching failed to find the answer on another thread.

Is this all i need to replace cracked screen?

I have a kaiser with a cracked LCD screen... and i was looking on ebay for replacement parts...
this seems to be one of the cheapest ones i can find that is also in the United States and not in hong kong...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150273701038&fromMakeTrack=true
but im confused about... one thing.... whats the digitizer?.... do i need one?... does that auction contain the digitizer.... and is the digitizer and the "touchscreen" the same part?...
i had to do this myself i bought a screen with digitizer included.
The digitizer is the touchscreen layer over the top of the normal screen, not sure how easy it would be replace the touchscreen without the digitizer as its flex appears to be glued to the back of the touchscreen, and the screens don't cost much more with it pre-atatched.
I replaced my ugly mda vario 3 case with a black htc case at the same time, since i already had to have every single component out of my phone to get to the touchscreen. its beatufull now.
I see... well... does the item in the auction include the digitizer?... it looks like a single peice.... and i dont know if the digitizer is already glued on it like you mentioned.....
for me it seems like there is everything included.... replaced my cracked screen 3 weeks ago and had all the same parts as mentioned here...
if your not sure ask the seller not me, the pic may not be the actual item.

regrading digitizer replacement

Hey all,
I checked with a PDA technician, that is willing to replace the digitizer for me, at a reasonable price. The thing is, he told me that there are 2 types of Diamonds. One that the digitizer is glued to the LCD, and thus can only be replaced as a whole unit together with the LCD, and another one that can be replaced easily.
Does someone here know what he's talking about? How can I tell which Diamond I have?
Thanks a lot

Digitizer for Vogue

OK, so I found the housing I was looking for and ordered a replacement digitizer from Ebay(on mine the screen started to chip), but the one I ordered came and when I put it on, it was so blurry I almost couldn't read a text or email. So I figured I would check here and see if anyone had an extra digitizer to sell me. Send me a PM if you do. Thanks
dont know if u have one yet, but u got a generic or chinese HTC digitizer
if u order one from the US it will be better.
I got housing+digitizer from hong kong, it looks perfect. Price was $26 shipped. I have my old digitizer, slightly scratched 1 year+ of use in pocket. If you interested.
I also got a housing and digitizer from hong kong but the digitizer was fuzzy, they sent a replacement and it is good, but the last digitizer i bought was from - http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370351357459&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

If you are in USA, then I highly recommend this link (below). Tried several others, not as good and cost more. This one shows digitizer separate from front housing bezel in picture. But they come put together. You get both for less cost than dubious quality digitizer alone elsewhere.

i dont want to go for a new touch screen digitizer
Housing link from where i am buying : http://cgi.ebay.ca/FULL-BLACK-HOUSING-HTC-SPRINT-TOUCH-XV6900-MP6900-/170525852132?pt=PDA_Accessories
I am in INDIA & here HOUSING is only available for HTC ELF & not for vogue

I really dont know about the VOGUE thing
So please guys help me out!!
If the housing can be replaced without changing the touch screen digitizer then can any one please give me a tutorial?
Thanks in advance!
Two good instruction write ups

and
http://mikechannon.net/PDF%20Manuals/OSeven%27s%20Disassembly%20Guide%20to%20the%20HTC%20Touch%20-%20Elf%20.pdf
if your still looking for one, ebay is good.
depends on what color
there is white and black
check for which ones fit with yours as the cdma and gsm ones are slightly different
and check if it comes with a digitizer or not
preferably a new one
key words: htc vogue
and then 'housing' if you can't find any

Htc Sensation XL touch digitizer screen hoax

On HTC XL it is imposible to change digitizer only .I just try to repair myself and ruined semi usable phone with cracked but fully working glass. Touch digitizer screen and lcd are (unlike some other models) GLUED together.!.
So sellers who sell digitizer only for 30$ are essentialy fakers, not telling you that it is imposible to change Digitizer only. But for 30$ many try and both throw that money and render phone totaly unusable. So they must buy whole LCD +TOUCH assembly that is much expensive. now about 150$ .
TIP: If you have cracked SXL - use it that way if you can (like me 30day with almost no problems) or buy whole assembly. No middle here
I can also confirm this, I had a semi cracked screen, phone still 100% usable and changed the digitizer screen not realizing the LCD was actually attached to the digitizer. Phone is now completely useless. This leaves sites selling the digitizer replacements selling items that are useless. My only option now is to buy a new LCD and digitizer replacement for around £90 in the UK or buy a non HTC one for £55 from Hong Kong.

You can separate the digitiser from the LCD by heating the face of the phone with a hairdryer which softens the glue. You then run a non-marring pry tool around the phone to separate the two.
Messy with a very good chance of cracking the LCD, but it can be done. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585909
I guess the shopkeeper wasn't scamming me when he said the digitizer can't be remove on this set
