About Us:
Dirty Unicorns is a project that started out with no name. It was a project that was first created based off AOKP back in the early days of Jelly Bean because of curiosity. In the early days, it was just a one man show on one device (EVO 3D). However, many others have joined the project since and it has grown a lot. We have seen a wide variety of talent contribute to this project of ours and many of our contributors have gone on to help other projects, and that is ultimately why we do what we do.

Once Jelly Bean was over, we decided in Kitkat to move to a new base, which was OmniROM. While AOKP was fun, OmniROM proved to be even more exciting because it challenged us to see what we could with something different.

With Lollipop, we have moved to an AOSP base with a lot of patches from CAF to make our older devices function as they should. With that said, it has been an awesome learning experience and it's still not over! We are still learning every day and continue to move forward.

Few more things we will say is that we don't 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.....

All we do ask is that you search, read and try to enjoy the process with us!!​

Bugs:
  • First boot will take 10minutes. Please force reboot after 10minutes
  • Illumination Bar and Lights are not working as expected
  • No recovery. Please remember to flash a recovery after flashing the rom
  • Brightness Slider does not work
  • Backlight problems

We're back in business boys!

First off, THANK YOU to those who have supported me on the Xperia SP Forums throughout the past 2 years. I would never have came to this stage without you. Secondly, I would like to thank everyone from the Xperia SP Telegram Group which comprises of people such as Boylush, AdrianDC, Anonymous and Pranav. You've been absolutely amazing throughout the years. Not to mention the other members who I have extremely had fun talking to.

As you all know, TeamRevolution has kinda disbanded due to the exam craze and I don't think we'll be coming back anytime soon. On the flip side, me and boylush are still working together with the other devs and we'll try out best to provide you all roms to enjoy.

As for Dirty Unicorns, this build is EXTREMELY alpha although it is 5.1. Its been quite sometime since the last DirtyUnicorns build and damn were there many changes through the months. I will be bug fixing Dirty Unicorns and the device source code to prevent any bugs but as of now, please do realize that you will not have the features given by AdrianDC as he builds CM while DU is AOSP. They're totally different things and I hope you understand.


Other than that, get hyped because we've still got a long way to go!

Cheers :)




PSSSSTTT DID I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THERE IS THE XPERIA SP SOUND MOD? :p

Backlight issues are still fairly difficult to fix. Mainly due to liblights interfering with the backlight. Expect notification lights to not work in the next build.


This thread will be closed as I take over rr.
