[ROM] Dirty Unicorns 4.4.4 v8.1

[dastin1015]

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!!

SO WHY A NEW THREAD?

The old maintainer ktempleton has been hit with this thing we like to call LIFE and can no longer maintain the other threads.

For this reason, I've taken the steps necessary to make d710 updated to newest DU source as their new maintainer.

 

[Spark91]

Very nice, and thank you dastin, very much for picking up, maintaining and updating DU.

Good lucks to ktempleton and I hope that he lives his life to the fullest.

 

[ps3hacker3]

Agreed, this is very awesome to see and this was a phenomenal rom back in the day... Thanks greatly dastin

WOO HOO!!! Glad to see this on here!!!

Thanks for bringing this to us, Dastin Your work is appreciated

 

[bigmike6200]

Flashed this last night (along with TBO gapps from the OP) with the blaspheme 6.6 kernel/cwm and had no data... Clean flash on FL24 modem. Booted successfully but was unable to make it past the first screen (language select), although it may be because I was away from WiFi and the aforementioned lack of 3g data. Wish I could report more but that's as far as I could get.

Thanks for bringing this to us though, Dastin Your work is appreciated

I had problems also. The buttons on the first screen were to close. It was hard to press the arrow without making an emergency call. I finally got through the setup, but because I dirty flashed, I had launcher problems. I will try this again on my spare phone and see what happens. I will admit I saw a bunch of tweaks. Can't wait to try them out. The only bad thing was the battery was draining as I was setting this up. I was hooked to my laptop.

Your laptop isn't going to be outputting enough amperage to charge your phone while it's in use. USB vs AC charging amperage and all that

On this one bro, you are wrong. Sorry. The Extreme Kernel is like Blasphemy Kernel. Those are the only 2 kernels I knowthat will charge the Phone on USB. This kernel is not like that. THat is one of the things I asked about for the Villuminati ROM. It's one of the main reasons I stayed on PAC 4.2 for so long. Check out the Blasphemy Kernel page.

Isn't this the old version of the kernel that you released... Just checking because I am wanting a kernel on this for some undervolting myself.. Also guys I'm thinking some of the above guys are doing something wrong, as I am on the sch-r760 and this is running flawless right now

What kernel is running on this rom? I thought that Blasphemy hadn't been updated in months? Finally, is there any way to get extremekernelV2 to work on this rom? I love how it works on Commotio.

Yea. I did something wrong. I dirty flashed. I know it was wrong, but I live on the edge. (Sometimes). There is. Nothing wrong with the ROM. IRT Blasphemy, the kernel on works on the 4.2 Roms and some 4.3 Roms.

I believe this is a stock kernel with some tweaks. Nothing like Extreme.

Has there been any word on how to get extreme to work with dastins Roms?

I asked @dastin1015 that question and this was the reply:

CM will not accept that commit due to it not adhering to stock values and a possible liability source in the life of your device.

If somebody wants to fork my kernel and add it in and do any other changes then they can freely do so: https://github.com/Team-Hydra/androi...msung_smdk4412

Is that all that is different about the extreme kernel that makes it different from stock? Because the stock kernel doesn't really like my phone for some reason...it's one of the main reasons that I use vanir because of extremekernelV2. There has to be more differences than just quick charging. Do we know who has done the work of the second version of extreme? Somehow get a flashable zip? I dunno...

•Network Speed Tweak
•Sound Amplification Settings

We need to stay on topic of Dirty Unicorns. Sorry Dastin.

Talking about @dastin, you should change the DPI to 220 for our phone because you can barely click the button on activation.

It was mentioned earlier but the thread kinda went elsewhere.

Also thanks for DU love it. Now to get oc...

Also thanks for DU love it. Now to get oc...

-The Boot animation has the "D" cut off as well as part of the "N".
-On the welcome screen, The arrow is partly covered by the emergency call.
-If you don't touch the phone, after a few seconds, the "About" page shows up with SuperSU asking for permission to be granted to settings.
-Under Dirty Tweaks/Init. Tweaks, if you select super tweaks, the phone lags.
-86MB free in System
-Change the lock handle is cool. I have not seen tha mod befoe on AOSP.
-A cool feature is the addition of the weather in the status bar. It has a TW look as does the phone. As I try out things, this ROM seems to merge bot AOSP and TW. It only shows up on the pulldown.
-Unable to disable the hardware buttons and lights.
All in all still a slim (101 apps including mine) and Decent ROM. After adjusting the dpi, the bootanimation is still the same.
-It would be nice to know a little more about the Init.d tweaks.
