Replace digitizer from another Note 4 (not replacement kit)?

Is it possible to swap out the digitizer from another Note 4 in to my own device, without doing damage to the S pen functionality?

When you pry open the screen you apparently damage the copper film -- what is the purpose of this film, and does it damage S pen functionality?

The replacement screen kit everywhere I look is the same price as a used Note 4, or Chinese phone, so the only cost effective option is to buy a broken (for parts) device on eBay that has a working screen.

I've done it before without any problems. Also, I think you're talking about the contact point for the digitizer on the glass.

As long as you're careful you should be fine. I frequently swap parts of devices. The only times I've had problems were my fault i.e. rushing, being careless, ect.

Good luck.
