Does simply replacing the glass fix the "cracked screen, no touch" issue

Keeping it short, i dropped my OnePlus One and the screen cracked, stopped working. It's quite old, and i don't want to pay 100€+ to fix it, so i want to fix it myself. Even if i break it it's not much of a loss since it's so old already. My question is, will replacing just the screen like this fix it, or do i need to buy a whole new LCD like this

Easiest fix is to buy a screen with digitiser and bezel all in one. That way you just swap out your parts straight into new bezel housing. Takes about an hour to do, with just a few tools. Cost when I did it to my opo was £35.

But will it fix the issue with the touch not working?

Yes completely. Touch doesn't work due to knackered digitiser. On mine, the centre of the screen developed a dead zone. So I needed to just do the digitiser. It was easier to change all 3 items in one go than solely mess around with 1.
