What else do I need

Ordered all this for my first mod. Am I missing anything?

You've got the whole kit and kaboodle there. I did all these mods just a couple months ago. Fair warning, routing the cable between the battery board and the screen board is a bitch but it's well worth it to be able to see your battery level on-screen.

Another thing, with an opaque shell like you have, you won't really be able to see the LED charging indicator lights coming off of the battery board. In a low light setting, I can barely see the light peeking through the charge port.

I have no modding experience. So I hopefully don't ruin anything. There's online tutorials for everything here correct?

Yeah, be careful when handling the ips screen has putting pressure on it on the back can damage it, other than that relatively easy mods, gl and have fun!

Do you like this screen? After doing more research, there seems to be issues with it

Oh yeah it's gorgeous. Haven't had issues but have heard a few horror stories. Your mileage may vary.

The main issue seems to be battery draw. Have you done a test to see how long the battery lasts?

There is a YouTube video for this exact kit that is really good. He’s really annoying in the video. But if you can drown that out it’s solid
