My White iPhone 4 parts came in today and also the white button w/ flex (which means I bought 2 white buttons). It's hilarious because I ordered the tools first but ended up the parts came in first.
With the parts, the urge to replace my front broken screen is so strong. Therefore, after having lunch outside and checking something I went home and started to prepare in replacing the parts.
Because there are really lots of different types of screws, I took a blank paper and labelled the different individuals so that I won't mix them up together.
I will just upload pictures in which it will tell the steps I did.

The whole procedure is really fun. But the reverse is absurd! I really encountered lots of problem putting back the screws because my screwdriver ain't magnetic and they are all so small! However, I magnetized it with a magnet and my job is a whole lot simpler afterwards.
I am glad that my proximity sensor works now. The few headaches are that the back cover which comes with it isn't really fitting and the camera glass cover have scratches all over. So with that scratches, the camera couldn't capture a good photo anymore plus my dad left a small crack after forcing it close (because I told him it wasn't fitting).
Because I changed the home button to white also, the flaw is that it's not aligned center. Looks really really weird and obvious. I would probably align it back when my proper tools comes. Sigh, I thought it was all good.

Now, my front is white while my back cover is black. Makes it a pretty unique unit. :P
