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.



As stated above, we love to maintain authorship but we also like to publicly praise those that have helped us along the way with our wonderful project. With that said, this wouldn't be possible without the work and help of those listed below :) THANK YOU ALL!!

Build running perfectly on my mobile. Quick Question: Can't find the Performance Control App. Do I need to use app like Trickster for Kernel changes?

Absolutely LOVE this ROM! Fast, smooth and perfect for daily use. Only option i really miss (unless i missed it somewhere) is to allow custom widgets on lockscreen. I prefer using LockClock over regular clock on lockscreen. Having the weather/clock on lockscreen would be a definite plus. Other than that, this ROM ROCKS!!! Keep up the AWESOME job!!!:D

Yes I know it has deathly I'm building it as well, I'm asking if you added the needed patches to enable WiFi if you flash a different kernel. My build has custom kernel support and Seans open commit changes from this morning, I'm also working on adding the galaxy s3 settings to the build. Just working out some bugs still. Everything is working except s3 settings in my build. So are you just building this from source or did you add the commit changes as well? Cause if you did then i can quit working on this and move on to another project. What's your guys hangouts info we can chat about it if y'all want.
