Yes I agree, start by building it per the specs. Only if something isnt quite right then find a workaround. Mine was one such case where the display ended up not having the exact same specs as the stock display. I found out my pin 15 is basically just there for looks, it does not connect to anything internally. I found that it takes a different circuit to dim my backlight, I have to break the display ground. So I was using the stock transistor to control my own transistor to control the backlight, which may have led to my problems. Going to just my own transistor and changing some code seems to have solved the issue.
