[Discussion] Dirty Unicorns DU 12 Hammerhead (8.1) [Development Hult]

jineshpatel30 · Aug 27, 2018

DU just released first batch of official Oreo builds and Nexus 5 is lucky to be on 1st line as DU is first one from major custom ROMs league to release official Oreo for hammerhead after testing beta builds for months.

Since DU guys don't officially host/discuss on XDA I'm creating this thread as discussion thread for XDA DU enthusiasts to keep it organised and help each other, be inform this is no way official support thread.

All bug reports (with proper logs) and feature request should go to DU's JIRA
Create Account and Select Project as Android-8.x DU12

You are Not allowed to share any Direct Links regarding DU builds in this thread. (DU maintainers has asked for same in past so we should respect their decision and go to Official G+ for links)

Please follow above rules as Nexus 5 now has only handful of official Maintainers and we don't want to lose them due to mischief of few members.

A simple Google search will also give you,

Boot looping from clean install. Not getting to the little vibrate point

Have you tried formatting to ext4? It was needed for RC builds. Not sure if its required for official build. Also what twrp version are you using?

rnadomuc · Feb 3, 2018 92 30 18

I'm using it and it's really good. I switched over to ext4 on all my partitions a while ago so maybe that's the cause of the bootloop the above poster is experiencing.

I also wrote a guide for using it with NanoDroid: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75835165&postcount=2692

I have the same issue. I haven't tried any other camera apps though.

It flashed and booted fine for me, didn't have to do anything special. Used nano opengapps.

Battery life is great, best of the 8.1 ROMs I've tried. So far everything is smooth and works fine, except camera fc's. Easy enough to flash a working camera, which I did.

Very happy with this, and appreciate the maintainer for his work on hammerhead.

My Report :

Default Camera FCs (You can use Google camera with Magisk Mod to get HDR+ working ) (Already reported to DU team on Jira, You can add your logcat)
Video still feels shaky and unclear on Google camera
Overall Smooth and silk ROM with Handful of nice features. :good:
On comparison with Nougat..well it's still not as stable but hey it's just 1st release.

Just flashed this and my lord its fast and I lobe the boot animation 1st time I've used DU.

Well... just flashed this ROM. Oreo? Yeah!
But... There are some problems. The biggest one: bluetooth. I explore every angle of they posts on G+, official site, and download sections: nobody mention about bluetooth problems. I have a little headset, and now audio during calls is simply TERRIBLE. I know the issue is famous out there, but I hoped that a "stable" release of DU will not have this kind of bug... I can survive for some time, but if nothing will be fixed, I prefer go back to a "stable" Nougat...

Other problem? I had to change/override the camera app. I just found this and install it. Just delete any data of the app and cache, reboot if it doesn't work:

I actually really dislike that animation: too complex and not fully "fluid". Outro is REALLY long. I switched to a pixel boot animation

Really? I quite like it yet I'm new to DU so the novelty of it might ware off lol and about the camera I just installed one from play store which will suffice for now.and I'm not going to flash a custom kernel either seems pretty OK how it is

Which camera did you flash, if you don't mind me asking? Can I get a link?

apkmirror has one that another thread recommended as the last Google camera that works well for N5, it's 3.2.045. No link, I just went to apkmirror and found it. That worked for me.

However, I just checked another camera I have now that's working, and it's 4.2.035, and I'm not sure where I got it from, maybe from another Oreo rom. apkmirror probably has that one, too.

jineshpatel30 · Mar 12, 2018 at 8:31 AM

New RC is up..Unfortunately clean flash is required as it's RC and not official release so Signature change:good:

Currently using Unlegacy 8.1 but it lacks quick charging. Does DU supports it?
Should I switch to DU or RR or DarkROM for best battery/performance?
