Dirty Unicorns (DU) is a custom ROM originally based off AOKP, but now based from OmniROM. DU brings you a great mix of stability and customization. The idea to start a ROM like this was purely out of boredom, but later turned into a form of an addiction, a good one. We began to have fun while still doing things the right way. By doing so, we received high praise from not only our users but by fellow developers of other ROMs that also enjoy seeing things done the right way. This ROM will always be free of charge without any strings attached or any of it's developers luring you into donating, or any form of "pay to flash".​

Wow great a new ROM! thank you so much for all the hard work that goes into bringing this to our device. :) well done sir :)
The feature list looks impressive, I must say. Definitely wanna check this out. Got some questions though, if you don't mind :)
1. You write it's AOSP based, so did you use the v3 posted here or did you compile it from aosx repo? There have been some changes since v3 I guess.
2. Are all of these features listed working? Like the active display for example? And what kind of init.d and build.prop edits are those?

Thanks again for all your work :)
