[Q] Mercury "Glory" M886 - General Questions and Answers

up to 32GB

I quit reading at "Cricket"...

Why did you even bother commenting on my post???????????

.
Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.

A few quick corrections:
The FFC is 0.3MP (VGA)
It is NOT GSM!! (Cricket is a CDMA network) Phone supports CDMA2000 1xEV-DO.
It is called 'Mercury' in the USA and called 'Honor' in European/Asian markets, which may have different specs. Being that you posted this in November I'm guessing the full specifications where not available.
I am sure once the phone catches on there will be devs working on it. There is already a way to root the phone! Pretty good for something just released this month

Yes i see, sorry was not arround till now i wasent notify about ur responce ill see if i can acctualy get my hands on one of those devices and start rooting it lol

Would be cool to get some dev support. Hopefully we can when its released by AT&T.

I would like to have mods ported. The Chinese have Ice Cream Sandwich on their NON-CDMA. So this hardware is not lacking, and I keep researching ways to port. Apparently AT&T is making it's own non-Cricket edition. Godspeed.

What's the best way to root the m886? Links or tutorials would be greatly appreciated. I've searched and searched and cannot find any decent method. Thanks

Go to "cricket users forum " there are links to everything you need plus a custom recovery
Sent from my Zio using XDA App

The rooting and custom recovery are useful. What I want is an ICS port that is custom before it is released. I saw there is a ROM for the M886, but it is not really working with Cricket or with the networks. I hope this will be updated then I will be glad to switch over completely.

Are you currently using a custom recovery program if do which one, our which method did you follow?

Forum newbie rules!

I have in the last few months purchased a htc desire to replace my motorola dext (cliq).
With my previous phone I have plenty of modding experience (if anyone knows anything about the cliq they'll understand)
But due to the rules here I am unable to offer my advice and knowledge wih rom issues, of which there have been a few with desire roms.
If any mods read this, can you please remove the restrictions in place on my account, so I can participate actively in the htc desire development section, and be able to help out fellow modders.
Regards
Ryan

Running in to the same issue with Xoom.
I've been working on this for over a year but I can't post cuzz of the newb rulls.
As far as I'm concerned we're all here to learn from others and let others learn from ourselves.
This is the only android forum I've come across with this ridiculous rule in place, restricting the sharing of knowledge because I'm deemed too " inexperienced".
Just because I'm new too XDA obviously means I'm new too android as well. Its a joke.

Guys, it is so easy just post 10 postings (you can do that in an hour) and all restrictions are removed. It is easy as saying in a posting "i agree" or " wow, interesting" do 10 pointless postings and you are good to go
Thanks for the advice, but its not really the point.

Don't make pointless and meaningless posts outside of Off-Topic.
Also, try to contribute
I am in the same boat wanted to post but I guess Ill need 9 more
interesting
interesting ;-)
the only posting limit before 10 posts is development areas. (about 1/6 of the forums)
if you are a developer, use you vast knowledge to help 10 people
if you have a question about something in development ask your question in Q&A
but search first. it is better to reply to a pre-existing thread than to start a new one!
(this thread case in point)
there is no reason to complain or spam post " i agree "
Interesting! (sorry, needed 1 more)

That rather highlights the foolishness of having a 10-post restriction. Just about anyone will look at this and go, okay, let's just post 10 worthless messages and get around the restriction. In the end it does nothing to promote a better quality of user while at the same time clogging up the general forums with messages that are a complete waste of time and disk space. Like this one.
10 post restriction
I agree totally!
9 more to go!
And now theres people wanting to change off-topic to also having the 10 post restriction? I dont get it

SSG2 help with Sprint?

I'm here with my Tmpbile GS 2 and know my way around somewhat. My brother called and he just upgraded to the Sprint equivelant of our beloved GS2. Can someone point me in the right direction over there? Who are the Devs, anyone?
Why don't you just go there?

I'm confused. Are you asking for someone to tell you who are the devs for the Epic Touch 4g (Sprint version of our phone)?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Yeah, wondering it you all knew the way to go over there. If I ask it in there thread I'm not gonna get anything but everything

You don't have to ask them. You can just go to the Epic Touch 4g section and then go to the development section and see the list of roms posted by a list of different developers. No one in our forum shouldn't really know the answer to your question since most of us don't have a reason to be in the Epic Touch 4g forum.

Guys thanks a bunch!
The other two guys, take a long walk down a short pier. This happens to be a Q&A forum...so technically I'm in the right. Had I posted this in say...the DEV forum I could see a little animosity. However being in the q&a forum all I see are a couple of trolls. This isn't my first rodeo, it just happens to be my first HTC.
You guys are the reason people don't want to root, god forbid they be looking for a little support from a community that does nothing but hack android software and their specific phones no less.
Let the mod take this thread out. I've gotten the information I was looking for no thanks to the trolls.

While you're absolutely correct in posting this thread in the correct forum, literally everything you have asked for has been covered in numerous threads before. I'll apologize for everyone for why we get a little up front with threads like these since we see at least 2 every week. I'm glad this isn't new to you, but before you get angry please look at the rules you agreed to when you signed up for XDA. This is a dev. site first and foremost and some leg work is expected on your part. Searching is something you agreed to do before posting a new thread and if you did so you would have found every answer you needed.
Bacon, you can become the official XDA librarian. Users can request features and you will sift through the books (roms) and send them what they want!

...I hate you.
New Mods...please consider closing. We really don't need any more which roms are better type threads.
To everyone else, please just read each Rom description and try them out for yourself. Everyone will like different things.

Well hello there, new user who rushed into not only using the xda forums, but also downloading the XDA app and posting without reading the rules!
I believe you are going to be extremely happy with what I have to offer. You see, I am about to give you the answer to the question of life, the universe and everything. It's 42!
But that's not all. I'm also giving you something (almost) just as important, the link to the rules of these forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=530
However, since you apparently suffer from a certain lack of vision and/or understanding (considering that you've already read and agreed to these rules), I'm going to take one extra step and actually quote the part that interests us:
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.

So much win all over this thread.
No, the Skyrocket is a variant of the GS2 platform for AT&T. If you use Skyrocket files on a base GS2, you will turn your phone into a paperweight. Google "Galaxy S2 XDA" and you'll see the right forums. Ask in the Q&A over there (not development) and people will be able to help you. Over here, you'll just get flamed for all this win.
And posting in q&a takes so long because nobody has the answer or want you to SEARCH mostly the latter. This thread in every way is not allowed in any of our sections

Ok, if you don't even know what kind of phone you have, you really shouldn't be trying to flash things lol
Sorry dude, not trying to be mean, just trying to save you from bricking yourself because you have no idea what you're doing.
Wow... I thought I'd use the skyrocket to reply to this one dude, I've been flashing phones since 2007, forgive me for calling it a gs2, but the skyrocket is a gs2 also, and if you look at the bottom of this msg it will now read the device that I'm using... but thanks for your input, no offence taking

Lol say the skyrocket is a gs2 to 777 owners. The differences are staggering but as far as radios there is no best radio it's something you have to test for yourself and your specific area
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
I agree on both your points here, and I've tried several radios even on the fly as I drove between Atlanta and Florida to see what gives the best signal in various locations.... just figured I'd post that question among the developers for a quick response, didn't expect so much wind... but just so you know I'm not exactly a noob, and I've been trying.... and secondly, the gs2 comes in a few different configurations that I'm aware of, but the radios for the most part flash over various ROMS, and can vary significantly from area to area..... also I've actually notices a difference using a different APN setting using a particular radio (selecting tmobile, straight talk or simple mobile) giving different signal strength and reception. I'm crazy, I know
