I replaced my S3's screen by myself and I assume the S4 is no different.
Here is a little insight if you're gonna do it yourself.
It's not going to be the same as the original because in between the glass and the actual LCD screen, there's this rubbery film that connects the glass to the LCD for better touch response I assume. Without it, the response is super shitty. If you watch some of the youtube videos, you'll see what looks like shattered glass. It's actually the rubber film.
I don't think it's possible to even get this rubber film and apply it by yourself. It's about 2mm thick, and it appears to be applied on by a chemical fluid and letting it dry over time. It's super clear.
I spent about $20 to replace mine twice (fucked it up the first time). Now the touch is not very responsive. The glass you order might come with a double sided cut out adhesive thing. Just use the border part of it, because the screen part will leave gluey adhesive look on the actual glass.

Is it as good as it originally was? How responsive is the touch and swipe and stuff?
