So you're wanting to reuse the existing AMOLED (for the love of all that is good. Stop calling it an LCD!) but change the midframe, you've really got quite a task ahead of you to do without breaking it.
If you use acetone, isopropanol, goo gone, any concoction of anything else that comes in liquid form you WILL ruin your display. You can use some heat as long as you stay under about 70 degrees centigrade, if you get it hotter than that you WILL burn your display and ruin it. While its warm, slide a playing card, feeler gauge, dental floss, all number of things are used by different people and generally work but that amoled is very brittle and can snap. If you crack it, you have ruined your display. On the end with the connector there is a big flex cable that goes behind the display, that also must be removed carefully. If you tear that ribbon flex you will ruin your display.
Generally when you take an amoled out of the frame you do it still attached to the glass, its tricky work, especially on a gs3 or gs4 where the whole thing is glued down (don't "glue" it back down, you guessed it, you'll ruin your display) I'd say you're probably far ahead to try your hand at choosing the right color paint pen to paint your existing midframe instead of trying to replace it.
If the display is already damaged, pick among the things I said will damage it, do that, and peel that thing off in the most expedited manner you can, just know you'll make a mess.

You can't remove the lcd from the frame without damaging it as it's held on with very strong adesive I would just leave the frame as it is

This is not true. You can remove the LCD successfully without liquid just by using heat and a bicycle playing card. Takes time and practice but it can be removed without issue.

Do you mean take the whole screen out, or just the glass, and then take the LCD out?

I don't even know if that is safe or even possible. To clarify, you've taken the glass off, and now you want the LCD out of the screen frame, right?
