[ROM] Dirty Unicorns 4.4.2 [v7.1] V500

[Drgravy]

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!!

Only issue for me so far is the NavBar disappearing if I'm in a menu in the landscape mode..

Yeah Theme Engine got pulled cause it was broken on some devices but we are working to get it added back in
Thanks for pointing out the nav bar seems to do it intermittent I'll look into it

yes basically they are qcom media/display from cm with modified makefiles

with these flags in the BoardConfig.mk
TARGET_QCOM_DISPLAY_VARIANT := v500
TARGET_QCOM_MEDIA_VARIANT := v500

also look at the du.dependencies file in the device tree

Nice rom, thx.

I found one major bug so far: Nav bar is missing when screen is rotated with 270°. I hope you can fix that.

 

[knightsh]

Smooth, fast and stable. My games are running better than ever. Rotation sticks after using in landscape mode sometimes, but really liking this. A few too many options, but mainly because I don't use all of that. I can learn to. Thanks for this.

also glad your liking this, one great thing about too many options is you don't have to use them all if you don't want to

also just wanted to let you guys know I'll be putting up test builds in our G+ community in between releases

[sedardna]

I have again the same problems... A EXPLAIN:

When i try to flash another rom not stock i can do that but have no wifi signall. Looks like it was degrade. Cant go into google Play or Sail the internet.

I try to restore some apps or change some parameters in the network setting but cant go to internet.

when i go back to a sotck (rooted of course) all goes well again.

The fix is not only whith this rom. i try others and have the same problem.

I cant find nothing like this in the forum.

Did somenone know how to fix the wifi. Did some change in the CM based rom that cant connect?


Thanks
