I've replaced these a few times on (friend's) iPhones, and HTC widgets.
Some places (e.g Morocco, some places in India) seem to have invented
a system for unbonding and swapping individual pieces -- I didn't get
to see the whole process, but it seemed to involve placing the display
bundle into some sort of solvent, slowly heating it, picking the
broken shards out, and then using a jig to align the new bits and
rebond them. The result seemed to work OK, and look mostly OK, but
there often seemed to be a haze or similar between the components.

I don't think the execution is relevant when it was obviously a bad
idea in the first place.
This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing
regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair
of pants.
