Thank XDA User sparkyman216 for the theme fix.
My Blog!
Theme Fix: HERE, Thanks to sparkyman216, for allowing me to use this fix. Flash after the rom.
GSM Users:
You need to edit the build.prop located in the system folder. Recommend using winrar
/system/build.prop
Once there, you will open the file and edit it using a word processing program of you choice. Notepad is fine.
Use search/find button till you locate something that says this Default network type. # 4 => CDMA
From there change the 4 to a 3.
Then next to it you will see this ro.telephony.default_network=4, change it to 3.
Also change "ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=1" to "ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=0"
This should work, if it doesn't please tell me so I can try and help!
Thanks to:
Hashcode, it was created off his ICS Build here.
iNsAnEmOd, ported his Bionic MIUI rom to Droid 3 before changing to Droid 2 port.
Bfitz26, gave me information which helped me build it.
sparkyman216, for being very helpful with my problems.
beanstown106, ported his Droid 2 rom located here.

That is correct, when hashcode gets it working, I will update, right now I think the biggest issue is the rotation problem which I am currently working on.

techno, you could try working with him and combining your builds or whatever, seems like he's pretty far along too and i think he might have the rotation issue fixed, not sure though, haven't tried it yet personally
it says rotation issue when auto-rotate is turned off, if that's any key to if thats closer than you are on the rotation bit

Haha, seems he has themes working if you flash a zip file which is interesting. I believe he could put those files in the rom file and get it working with one flash, but I will see if I can get it to work in one flash. Having Themes working would be great.
Sparky's port is pretty nice actually; I tested a couple of builds, but keep coming back to AOSP, because I'm familiar with it. Sparky is also experimenting with different bases (AOKP and CM9) for the ROM, to maximize battery life. He could definitely lend some assistance. Nice to see yet another option become available for the D3! Keep up the great work!

I'll make a backup of Gummy, and give this a test run tomorrow so I can give you some more accurate feedback. I'm pretty naive when it comes to MIUI, so maybe you could drop some knowledge on me...is there a way to alter/trick the Market, to show it as Verizon? I use apps like Bank of America throughout the day, and I know the MIUI market doesn't display certain apps. If there's a way to get that done, then I'm all in on MIUI!

Changing the build.prop should fix this for some apps, I would look on there site.
http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/apps-not-appearing-on-market.12650/
I will do some more research to find a fix for you later today and try a few things that I think will work.
I may be able to use Market Enabler to switch to VZW. I'll give it a shot tomorrow, and report back on how it works, just in case anyone else is in the same position I am. It wouldn't be a big deal if I didn't work in the financial field, but I end up needing access to US and foreign market info throughout the day, so I need a solid solution in order to use MIUI, and take advantage of the excellent features the ROM offers.

It seems that changing the build.prop will make the android market think it is a different phone, but I would rather not change that, I would give Market Enabler a try first.
I would look into sparky's port over at droid hive. You two should team up as opposed to have competing MIUI ports (IMO). Based on the bug list alone and my running of his work, he has a few things functioning that you do not.
The rotation issue I brought to his attention is that when auto rotation is OFF, it should only display in landscape if the phys keyboard is opened, but it does not. It stays locked in portrait.

also meant to say, i already have fix/solution for the theme folder, but he has not incorporated, I'm not sure why...

What is your fix? I already sent him a message on xda, but he didn't reply yet. I didn't know someone else made an MIUI rom for Droid 3 otherwise I would not have made this one, but since I did, I will continue to work on it. Maybe me and him can team up.

Not sure how I stumbled onto this page, but I am currently using IsaneMod's MIUI port for the Bionic right now, and I had this same problem. A few apps would not appear on the Market, acting as if they were not compatible for the Bionic. I got so frustrated, I flashed another ROM to get all my apps back. Well after missing MIUI on my phone, I flashed it again, thinking I could live without those few apps for a while. Well, I ended up accidentally fixing the market issue. For some reason, I thought you had to flash a Google Apps .zip after flashing the MIUI Rom, so I did. But I was actually incorrect as the Google Apps are a part of the ROM, but when flashed G-apps, I flashed what was supposed to be for an ICS ROM instead, but when I booted up my phone, my market had the apps I was once missing. However, I also lost a few icons for certain apps on my phone. Like the MIUI browser app was gone, and I had the ICS browser app instead; and a few other apps did this as well. They all still worked, but flashing the G-apps from that ICS ROM accidentally fixed my market issues. Yes, it was an unnatural way to fix the problem, but if you can find such a file to flash for MIUI on your phone, it may just fix the problem like mine did - as long as you can live without a few MIUI themed app icons. That is, until this problem is solved a more natural way. Anyways, just thought you might want to try this if you want MIUI on your phone but also need your important apps. I hope I was helpful. Good luck!
fyi, for the themes zip that you have to flash for Sparky's ROM, I did that and applying themes works for the most part...the text is sometimes messed up if the theme has a black text and when applying a theme to the Message app, it only changes the theme when you go into a conversation with somebody, not the inbox AND the conversation like it should
and somtimes the placement of things is a little off, like for the lockscreen i use the slider should be in the middle, but it is off to the left a little bit, probably a screen res issue or something from the port

Thanks, I already tried it and noticed the same thing, you should not have to flash a .zip for it to work though so I was looking for other solutions. I have just got to be missing something.

Very happy to see this. Thanks for all your hard work! I hope this one reaches a level of stability the previous CM versions didn't, so that I can use it as a daily driver.
Sweet! Thank you hashcode once again! Looking forward to trying this and i am happy that screen rotation bug is cleared up, awesome. Also, i will be awaiting updated builds with great anticipation.
Damn you, hashcode! This ROM is so incredible I don't know if I'll be able to stand going back to ICS.
The improvements are stunning, I am very impressed to see the screen rotation/screenshot bug fixed. Smooth as butter, but I wont be able to use it as a daily driver until the camera is fixed (at least in 3rd party apps).
Thank you for all your hard work!

Loving the updated recent apps screen and animations.
Hmm, while typing this, I'm getting some weird flickering and white vertical lines on my keyboard.

Back in eclipse ICS for now.
I've installed it twice and it ran fine both times. That is until I rebooted. At that point it continually says com.android.phone has stopped repeatedly. Can't do anything but pull battery and switch to a different ROM.
Same issues with receiving calls.
Funny when it went ape sht on me in Kohls, my case was a PITA to pull off to remove the battery. Oh the disapproving eyes of the old ladies,when SYL "You suck" kept going and going. Lmao

confirmed that phone locks for incoming calls - other than that everything seems great! camerazoom worked for both pictures and video on latest build!! Didn't run rom long enough to test stability, battery life, and other things but all seems good. hopefully the phone issue will be fixed soon and this rom will ROCK!!
Has anyone had success with the 12-17-2012 build? I installed it fresh into a new slot1, but it looped infinitely at the CM boot animation for me.
new load
When will the next release be that is a little more stable for the phone process....
OP Updated with new build.
CHANGES:
[01/16]Bluetooth device starts/stops correctly (audio issues still)
Keep phone on vibrate to avoid the incoming call bug (for now)
New Builds - December 30 - I don't know if anything changed, I just sync'd repos and compiled it. But it's newer, eh!
MAKE SURE YOU WIPE DATA/CACHE AND SYSTEM AND INSTALL THIS ROM TO A FRESH ROM SLOT. Don't complain about non-working or strangely behaving apps if you flash over an old install without trying this first.
Based on the work of the All-Powerful Hashcode (source), here are fresh builds of AOKP JB and CM10.
Still no working camera. However, includes the sensor fix from Jarveson (Thanks!). HW codecs re-activated (thanks Hashcode!)
Updated repos, minor tweaks to get it to build correctly (Solana github repo doesn't build successfully as-is). See the posts ~ pg 153 of Hashcode's official thread.
Use gapps 20121011 available at your nearest filehost.
Download:
/mediafire/solana
For our friends on the other side of the Great Firewall:
CM10 Dec 15
These are ALPHA test builds (as noted by Hash) and a constant work in progress. I recommend flashing into a secondary ROM slot until you feel comfortable.
Thanks to Hashcode, dhacker, jonpry, jarveson, Google, AOKP, CM and everyone else who made this possible.
Kernel Included? version?
Gapps included?
Thanks for your work on the D3
Oh yeah, FIRST
Always wanted to do that
Thanks for this! I will finally test it today (didn't have time).
Maybe you're interested in including the fix I use for making the D3 wake with keyboard keys also.
For me at least, it was one of the first things I missed on kexec ICS/JB.

CM build
I'll start a CM10 build tonight or tomorrow, depending on how I'm feeling. Been a busy weekend working and lots of late nights getting just AOKP to work cuz it's my primary.
In theory it shouldn't be too difficult, because AOKP is CM based. But I'm no professional, I just do this for the enjoyment.

I've been talking to another user about this. Turns out that the stock messaging app is still affected by the MMS bug. I've always used a third party app so I didn't notice when I did testing. Sorry everyone.
But it works with a third party messaging app definitely. GoSMS is my present choice. Used to be Handcent but it's gone down the drain IMO the past year.
Yes mms no workie in stock. Go sms seems to work though.

Hmm MMS works on the 883 radio from T-Mobile. Maybe it's something in build.prop? Maybe it's APN settings? I think CDMA carriers still use APNs.
Already went down the road of apn. Everything was correct in mine. Went ahead and deleted and re entered, no change in built in sms/mms app. Wouldn't know what to check in build.prop.

I did the same and it seems to be working well. I've only had one phone call and the phone app did crash when the call ended. I *think* the called party hung up first. The sensor fix is very nice - I was somehow regularly getting into the settings menu with my ear and changing stuff before it
I think the only thing I miss at this point is the audio out via the car dock special usb cable. I've thought about trying to help figure that one out, but the last programming I did was in the late 80's in C, so the learning curve is gonna be kinda steep. I have installed the sdk on my Fedora machine. We'll see if I can get motivated to figure out how to actually do anything with it.

If you understand C well, you might actually not have too hard a time, especially if Android is C++. I have no idea though.
set up
if anyone would like to get their machine going for development, i made a blog post (my first serious one ever) about setting up Ubuntu 12.10 properly to compile Android from source.
https://soupdawg.wordpress.com/2012...-for-building-android-jellybean-all-variants/
all the other guides i've seen are up to 12.04, and setting up the correct JDK is unique on 12.10
good luck everyone!
NOTE: my process.phone always crashes after calls. it doesnt seem to impact anything, i still run it day to day just fine. i'll try to track it down and see whats up. i think it's because of the hack i had to do to get the ROM to compile correctly. frameworks/base in its natural state from the repo causes build errors.
Unofficial, no warranty, express or implied. Not final, nothing to do with the CM people, not backed by them, not made by them, may cause corruption of innocent kittens if used irresponsibly. I am posting this only because the main CM sources are not perfect right now for building for Qualcomm devices just yet, and need some tweaks in new branches.
CM 10.2 Android 4.3 built for, and working on Pollux_Windy, once again thanks to Sony using such nice, open-source-friendly devices.
Working:
WiFi
Compass + sensors
Sound
Bluetooth
Front + Rear Camera
External SD (including ExFAT)
Not Working:
GPS
This is for the Pollux_Windy (SGP311) Wifi ONLY tablet. It should work on the SGP312 (32 GB wifi only) as well, but will NOT work on the Pollux (with LTE).
http://goo.im/devs/pulser/TabletZSGP311/CM10.2/cm-10.2-20130810-UNOFFICIAL-pollux_windy.zip
Tried to flash this but i'm getting an error about device build prop not matching requirements. I had a 312 rom on first, and flashed a 311 stock rom, but still get the error. My device is 311 by default.
Do i need to edit my build.prop? Even though my device shows as SGP311?
EDIT: Ah nevermind, i had the stock bootloader still installed. Doh!
If anyone needs Gapps I found them here:

Updated to 30 July build - includes the new Focal camera app. Yes, it has a few bugs with tablets and orientation. It's known.
Is root possible yet? I tried the supersu zip that was attached in op, but still needs the binary according to the supersu app. Do we need to adb push the binary?
Edit: Nevermind, just tried the latest supersu and works fine.
I can't get a restricted user to work for the life of me. All kinds of processes are force stopping and I couldn't pick trebuchet from the list on setup either, though I did manage to work around that with Apex eventually, though Apex kept crashing too.
I assume apps might have to support this (or at least launchers?) But core processes?
I did dirty flash so it's possible that has something to do with it.
Still digging around. I'll clean flash later to retry restricted users too.

I can't get a restricted user to work for the life of me. All kinds of processes are force stopping and I couldn't pick trebuchet from the list on setup either, though I did manage to work around that with Apex eventually, though Apex kept crashing too.
I assume apps might have to support this (or at least launchers?) But core processes?
I did dirty flash so it's possible that has something to do with it.
Still digging around. I'll clean flash later to retry restricted users too.

Restricted profiles are not tested or a priority right now in CM I believe.
Got this working on my xtz SGP311 seems really quick so far recovery plays nice, only real issues I've encountered is that the screen flickers black every now and then using the aosp browser and MX player pro doesn't work as android 4.3 isn't supported yet which has nothing to do with the rom.
WiFi and GPS seem to working used google maps to find a location and navigate there had no issues with those yet.
Definitely something different over the Sony ui and less cluttered just need the sony remote
Gonna have a play with it and see how I get on with it lots of options to play with hehe

Check out the project by @Apache14 that brings infrared remote control support to non Sony ROMs!
Are you sure gps is working? I don't think it should be in this ROM...
I had a go at the open source IR by apache but had no luck getting it to work, but I'm not sure if I installed it right.
I'll have another play with GPS today as I've got more time and let you know I could have jumped the gun on this one lol. I quickly downloaded an app called GPS test and although it says the GPS is on it doesn't show anything else like coordinates or location I'll keep playing for now though.

Thanks a lot for throwing this together... everything seems to be working great, I'm impressed by focal.
I'm still struggling with is the absence of tablet UI (trying to hit the home softkey in landscape is impossible, so I've been forced to full!screen, which is working well), but it's a small price to pay for the jump from Sony's 4.1.2 to a functional 4.3 Rom.

Interesting. Out of interest, how do you use your tablet ? I'm just trying to work out if there is any link or difference - personally I thought the same, that tablet was good, until I used my Nexus 10... Then I was "sold" - tablet UI was sub-optimal. I tend to use the tablet with 2 hands - one holding it, another free across the top for use. I find keeping navigation to the centre more logical personally, and more ergonomic. It also keeps the notification tray at the top, consistent with the phone. At other times, I use the tablet as a "monitor" and type with a Bluetooth keyboard, where I do not interact with the touchscreen much (except at arm's length), and find phablet UI quite convenient. Moreso than I felt with tablet UI.
It's intriguing though. I am sure I can look at readding it some time, but I'm fairly busy so it will take a while. I noticed Sony seem to be moving to phablet UI for 4.2 as well though...
I hold mine on the sides and mostly interact with my thumbs, thus central on screen controls are hard to reach. But, to each his own. I also use Thumb Keyboard exclusively on my tablets, much more natural than trying to type with one hand holding with the other.
so yeah i finally got around to testing the GPS navigation and it just says "Searching for GPS" the whole time so confirmed its not working.
i also found a issue with the swipe to type on the AOSP keyboard as soon as i tried to use swiping it force closed the keyboard, not a big issue just thought id mention it.
i noticed you've done a couple of updates as well whats the best way to update the rom just flash as usual using the file in op?

Just like with CM nightlies, just flash the latest update right over whatever you have.
In rare cases other changes will be needed, maintainers will usually let you know in these cases.
I'm investigating GPS on 10.1 on the windy - it's proving to be a bit of a headscratcher, although it has many of the hallmarks of the same problem we had with the modem on mint (Xperia T) months ago. Unfortunately, we can't use the same fix/workaround we used on mint.
pulser, may want to check the CM10.1 thread for my SMD debugging patch, might give some useful info - although what I need to do is get a build environment together for stock kernels so I can apply that patch to .370 for comparison.
i hate to sound like a noob but i am still learning lol is it safe to just flash the updates with cwm or is it best to do it with the flash tool?
it seems like gps has got a lot of people scratching their heads at the moment but im sure with so many looking into it there is sure to be a solution soon
Edit: its OK I went ahead and flashed the update using cwm and it worked, I'm to impatient to wait lol but at least I've learned something
Updated to 10th August build
Will you continue to tweak now that official nightlies are out?

Great work man!
Works beautifully, and it seems much faster than CM11.
I may have done something wrong though; I seem to have lost root access somehow.
Edit: Never mind, somehow a reboot fixed that.
Running great so far. Still searching how to disable the volume key flip on rotate though. Haven't found any bugs yet!

Had it running. Root was all messed up and it kept erroring when I went to Superuser menu to fix it like OP. Now when I reinstall the ROM from my SD card I get Status 7 failure. Some symlinks failed.
*disregard* gotta wipe data/factory reset to make it work. Not just manually format sys data cache. Oh well... Maybe root will work this time....

To get root access working you must go to developer options and under "Root access" select "Apps and ADB" That will make superuser functional.
Bug/Issue: 1. Settings crashes when going into Superuser and selecting settings. 2. GPS does not work. I couldn't get mapmyrun to get a gps signal.
EDIT* 3. Stock browser does not work well. When browsing a site such as google search there are black squares covering the screen. It happens as well with the google search app from playstore.
Overall, it works well
I can confirm. GPS does not work.

Looks like I jacked up superuser and GPS merging performance settings. I'll try fixing them next time.

I was about to confirm, but saw this so will look forward to the next version.
One thing I noticed when I tried enabling the swap file with Ram Manager Free (I found that giving this phone 256MB of swap file on kernels that support it makes it work MUCH better with heavy multitasking). It seemed to enable in the app, but when I checked the memory it showed only 64MB instead of 256MB. I checked and ZRAM was not enabled. Any idea where that 64MB came from?
I'm going to like this ROM once these few issues get fixed. It's a lot like the AOIP ROM I have been using for a while.
Which reminds me, one thing that is missing that I really liked was the ability to adjust the hard buttons back light. I like to have it set so it is on whenever the screen is on. Really disliked the auto turn-off after a few seconds even while the screen is still on. Would it be possible to add the settings options like AOIP and CM ROMs have?

Sweet. Because minus those two things. I'm loving the slim Roms on the exhibit. Its so fast!

4.6 has working superuser and GPS should work. Try performance control with 4.6 if 4.8 is inconveniencing.
I too am thrilled to note the appearance of yet another choice in the Exhibit ROM stable.
Very reassuring to me that this ROM presents no issues FC-ing out-of-the-box. Factory reset works, too. First time in quite a while that installation on my phone needed no extra steps.
I am trying the 4.6 version to see if that helps with GPS and the other issue.

Will you let me know if gps works for you with 4.6? I've fixed superuser fc, but uncertain if performance settings caused gps conflict.
Yes, I'll let you know ASAP.
Someone else may beat me to the punch, though; I won't get back to my wifi until Tuesday.
Currently back on Dark CM. I did however make a Nandroid of Slim.
I was so impatient to fully test Slim, I manually installed most of my apps from the Play store.
You can't restore Ti backups without having root access. I thought maybe you could restore even if you couldn't create backups, but nope.
Weird as it might sound I was interested in using my non-rooted phone for a while. It's been so long since I used a non-rooted device, I wanted to see the limitations imposed.

Tested GPS on GMaps and Map Quest and I can confirm that GPS is working in 4.6.
EDIT: My mistake, @danny8 is correct. GPS is not working in 4.6. nor is it working in 4.9. When I switched to "device only", GPS did not work at all.
One bug I did want to mention is that I am receiving fc's when trying to access SlimCenter.

I am also receiving these big black squares when using stock browser or Google Search in 4.6.
Well, I installed 4.6 test bed by dirty flashing on top of my setup of the original SlimKat release.
I cannot confirm GPS is working for me. (Deleted.) Update: Rebooted restored my voice service. Still messing with GPS which is not working
I confirm SU is working. Ti Backup allows me to restore apps.
I may play with this some more. Will update here if anything noteworthy pops. Otherwise rolling back to DarkCM.
