Changing model of touchscreen (Android)

Hello, (almost) first time posting here, and I'll try to keep it short.

I have an Android device:

• mt6589t


• kernel 3.4.5


• FT5316DME touch screen.

The problem is in the TS - it broke in half. There are no analogs for it (I've searched google, aliexpress, taobao and literally anything, I could think of) and the original comes only with display, making it on par with price of used phone.

The question is:
Is it possible to use TouchScreen from another device, if it has same touch chip? (disregarding dimensions)
Tried connecting one, but android didn't seem to register touches - no info from "Pointer Location" bar (the one from development options).
Are there, may be, other methods of determining, whether android gets any info from TS? Is there any point in trying to import touchscreen *.ko-modules from the TS donor?
