KNOWN ISSUES (as of 2012-01-12 build):

GSM users have reported phone still FCs quite a bit. I have a solution for this but it's a work in progress and takes a long time to do (porting Motorola World Phone code to ICS from Gingerbread). I am sorry for the hassle, but usually a wipe cache/dalvik cache will reset your connection.
Mute button on calls doesn't work
Camera doesn't work
Codecs which reference the /dev/ion driver don't work (including audio only for Netflix)
Backlighting for keyboard and capacitive keys only works with "Auto Brightness" set: see here for custom settings http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22637417&postcount=957
[NEEDS TESTING]Leaving Bluetooth on but not paired causes all audio to stop working on the phone. If you turn off Bluetooth then audio comes back.
[NEEDS TESTING]Bluetooth in general needs an overhaul. It does work to make phone calls, but that's about it.

HANDY WORK AROUNDS:

For users experiencing high battery drain: goto "Settings" -> "Sounds" and uncheck "Touch sounds" and "Screen lock sound".
For GSM/WCDMA users who have lost 3G: enter *#*#4636#*#* into the dialer. Then goto "Phone Information". Near the bottom of that screen there's a drop down of network preference. For GSM-ONLY use GSM (PRL). Exit that screen and reboot the phone. Wipe cache/dalvik cache if you still don't get 3G back or have many phone FCs.
For GSM/WCDMA users who seem to boot up into an phone FC loop. Try removing "GlobalNWSwitch.apk" from /system/app folder. Is probably only useful for DualRadio models.
For a Gallery replacement use "QuickPic" from the market

QUICK REFERENCE "/system/build.prop" ITEMS OF NOTE FOR NON-VZW USERS

CHANGE THIS TO 3 for GSM(PRI), 4 for CDMA and 7 for GLOBAL PHONE
# Default network type.
# 7 => Global Phone (4 => CDMA).
ro.telephony.default_network=7

CHANGE THIS TO FALSE TO DISABLE THE DUAL MODE RADIO
# BEGIN Moto,IKDROIDPRO-430, a17673
# Feature33857 on DroidWE, support DualMode switch, UMTS/CDMA
ro.mot.FTR.33857=true
# END IKDROIDPRO-430

CHANGE THIS TO FALSE TO FORCE A SIM SETUP ON THE LOCKSCREEN
# BEGIN Moto, IKSTABLETWO-1284, nfjb73
# without this property, the lock screen would take global phone as UMTS
# block user to operate before setup
keyguard.no_require_sim = true
# End Moto

** AS A RULE, IF YOU'RE EXPERIENCING "ODDNESS" WHICH ISN'T MENTIONED ABOVE PLEASE WIPE DATA/CACHE/DALVIK CACHE AND TRY AGAIN

Hows the camera progress going?

P.S

Great job on the rom, loving it.

Few days ago, I completely stripped out the dev/ion references from the camera code and was starting to work through a rewrite using our version of the memory tiler built into the kernel (read as TI memmgr1.0) Basically, that caused a little instability in the system which you can see in Alpha #4. Also, it hung the media_audio service out on the boot up which is why it's taking so long to boot currently.

Today, I reverted all of those changes, and instead built a ion_driver kernel module. The /dev/ion device is the new ICS interface for Android to work with the memory tiler at the kernel level. The module included an update to the tiler / dmm driver source as well (i named them tiler2 and tiler2_dmm) and all of the ion driver calls are directed to tiler2 instead of the original.

If loaded on system boot, tiler2_dmm.ko, and tiler2.ko modules load fine.

But, I'm working through some missing references on the ion_driver.ko module.

I'll know more in a day or so as I debug it, as to whether this technique will work.

Worst case is, I'll have to re-write the tiler2 portion as a wrapper of our existing tiler instead of a whole new device as it is now.

TL;DR: Camera needs the /dev/ion device (as does a few codecs) I'm working on a kernel module solution at the moment which has some bugs.

I am in Canada using Bell and I can't seem to add APNs as they won't save. I am currently using a verizon Droid 3 and I have tried switched the network to both WCDMA mode only as well as auto GSM. Any tips on what might be causing the problem?

ICS/CM9 users
i posted a video in my thread [first post] that shows Alpha3 running smoothly. I made the video because lots of users were saying many things didnt work in the ROM that did. It shows that paid&free apps, google music, gallery, quickpic, wifi,usb charging and everything but camera works. It seemed like some users needed a little proof to how it should be running. Well anyone is free to check it out =] Follow hashcodes instructions exactly and this is what youll get. Happy ROMing

KNOWN ISSUES (as of 2012-01-01 build):

Keyboard slide out will unlock phone

You mean even when you set it to NOT unlock from slide in settings?
Because else I find this not an issue at all. In fact I bought widgetlocker just to have my phone unlock when I slide

tliebeck · Jan 3, 2012

Noticed storage is still a bit wonky.../mnt/sdcard-ext is now being returned as default external storage per Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(). (The "External" storage in that API call means default user storage, not removable storage.) I believe isExternalStorageRemovable() is returning false, which it should be (provided the default storage is corrected to be /mnt/sdcard).

Thanks again for all your hard work, hope to switch to this as my daily-use phone soon. I like my Galaxy Nexus well enough but there's just no replacement for a physical keyboard.

(Reposted here...didn't see old thread was dropped as I had it bookmarked)

jiangkarl · Jan 3, 2012

good job Hashcode!
everything works fine except a few things like the camera, the video didn't play, the flash, hope those thing could be solved very soon!
thanks again for all people who work on a flawless droid3 cm9 ics rom!

Ya when I saw this I was a little disappointed that this was a issue. But I can see why some people may not want this to happen. Would be awesome if we could maybe get a option to tick if we wanted slide keyboard to unlock, but more important stuff to fix first

But there IS an option right? at least I think I saw it in options. On GB now so can't check

Not that I can find..I don't like the slide unlock and I looked in all the settings for that option lol

I'm in favor of a "slide to unlock" option if he's able to track down the culprit. I sometimes have my phone slide open a crack in my pocket, but it's enough to light up the screen and thus unlock it.

DoubleYouPee · Jan 3, 2012

It almost needs to open 1cm before it unlocks!!
