Dirty Unicorns is a custom ROM built with stability in mind and optional customization. The idea to start this ROM began out of pure boredom around 4.1.2 on the EVO 3D and later turned into a form of an addiction (a good one) to see where we could go from there. We have since expanded to more devices to include the HTC One, Nexus 5, SGS4 and many more. We quickly realize that users loved what we were doing as well as other developers because it was done the right way. We've always had fun doing it and take pride in knowing that we've done it without having to bug the end user for donations to pay for server costs and/or any of those sob stories you hear. This ROM is 100 percent free and will remain that way.​

Those wanting to use our ROM as a base are more the welcomed to do so but please maintained the credits/thanks below, do not ask for donations as it wouldn't be fair to do so considering and let us know as we often like to contribute to other projects.

Working really good..lots of features! I'm still getting the random force close while using the voice text option though.. it will just immediately reboot when I hit the microphone. But not every time just kind of sporadic so far. I've been noticing this on every 4.4.4 ROM I have tried lately. is there any kind of fix for this or is this just affecting me? Lol. I love kit kat, just need voice texting stable as I use it frequently. Will give it a bit and see if it settles down.

I'm still rocking C-Rom 7.1...I may start playing around today and flash some new things to see what has changed...

If so, I'll do some voice testing on the phone and see if I can get random reboots. My phone already randomly reboots on multi-touch.....

This actually looks like an amazing ROM. Gonna try this baby out.
EDIT - Seems like the blacked out GAPPS link is broken.

Well..still fc on pressing mic button to voice text. Also..same wonky GPS action..seems to "lock" but after you watch it it starts to loose lock and act sporadic. I use waze every day and know when its acting right. This must be a 4.4.4 problem because I'm noticing it on all Roms I try lately.

This is cool to hear. Is this based on the previous S3 ROM? If so, I don't see my issue listed in the fixes, and I don't know if anyone brought them up. Basically, it didn't handle going from WiFi to mobile network easily, and WiFi would shut itself off, only way to get it to come on and stay on was a reboot. Gmail would also keep turning off sync, but I think they may have been related.

Anyway, just curious. Thanks!

Does gamma control work with this ROM? I'm using it with BMS kernel,which supports gamma control, but I can't find anywhere where I can adjust the colors. I also tried the setcolor script, but that showed some kind of error.
