About Us:
Dirty Unicorns is a project that started out with no name. It was a project that was first based off AOKP back in the early days of Jelly Bean. In the early days it was just a one man show on one device, the EVO 3D. Since then, many others have joined the project and it has grown exponentially.

We have seen a lot of talent contribute to this project of ours. Big or small, the focus was always on contributing to the community. That is ultimately why we do what we do. After Jelly Bean, we decided to move to a new base, OmniROM. While AOKP was fun, OmniROM proved to be even more exciting base because it challenged us to see what we could do with a project that had different goals in mind. We learned a lot and again, gain contributors. With Lollipop, we moved to an AOSP base with a lot of patches from CAF to make our older devices function as they should. We grew even more and learned a whole lot more.

It has been an awesome learning experience and is still not over! We are still learning every day and continue to move forward. Lastly, we DO NOT accept, nor ask, for donations. We don't believe in that. Everything that is necessary to keep this project going is out of our own pocket. Gerrit, Jenkins, Websites, Devices, etc. We will never ask for a dime. All we do ask, is that you have patience, search, read and try to enjoy the process with us!!​

I'm getting a FC from the theme chooser, what gives?
This is due to restoring data/apps from Google. Go ahead and clear data and cache for theme chooser and theme provider then reboot you should be good moving forward.

I changed my LCD density and now the navbar looks weird, what gives?
This is currenly an issue that we are aware of and addressing. For now after you changed density reset navbar layout or stay on the stock density.

Switching from Fulmics 5.3

I have been a fan of AOSP and CM-based ROM since I started fiddling Android devices. But for the first time, I used stock rom in LG G3 due to the fact that the camera performs better (according to my readings) than AOSP-based rom, mainly shooting 4K videos, time-lapse and slow-mo. But I hate the fact that the battery drains fast, overheating issues, and it lags a lot, as in a lot. I have to restart a couple of times to get my phone to work on some time.

I used Dirty Unicorn on my previous Android device (HTC One M7), and I was happy with its performance. So I'm considering this ROM, but I use my phone as a daily driver, so reinstalling apps is a bit hassle, especially coming from stock ROM. And I use camera a lot, so is there any alternative to this?

Thank you for those who will answer :)

Are you rooted? If yes, then you can get the Titanium Backup and backup all the apps that you want, flash DU and restore the apps :good:
@ishanbhatnagr96 can you help him about camera?

Well the camera which comes with this ROM is snapdragon camera which is by far the best I've used on any AOSP/CM rom. I'd also suggest Google camera.

does it support 4k shooting? what is the average screen on time, if you mind? mine last only for about 2 hrs, with just browsing and music (with v4a).

Yes 4K is there. As for battery, I average off anywhere between 3.5 to 4.5 hours.
TBH you just have to try it for yourself. If it suits your preference then good, otherwise look for something else. Usage and battery life depends on user to user. This is the only CM based rom which gives me good battery life along with temasek. So you should try everything as it'll give you a better insight

yes i am rooted . uhmm, wouldn't that leave any traces of "stock" setting? I've read somewhere that one of the reason wiping cache is important is to remove all traces of previous rom, including the apps affected by it..or is it wrong?

and how about the SOT? does it last for 3h or more?and what kernel os recommended with this ROM?

I don't use xposed on CM/AOSP roms. Causes system to misbehave sometimes. But feel free to use it. And no, I don't use greenify. As per kernel, leave it to default and see how it performs
