{ROM} Dirty Unicorns_4.4.4_GEE {v-8.2}_11/4/14

[k5t4j5]

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!!

First? Lol. I'm dling right now. Can't wait to test a new ROM. Thank you.

Edit: great job on the ROM. It's super smooth and snappy. I had a few FC's with the baked in kernel and decided to switch to matr1x. All smooth so far. The only thing I'm seeing is as I type this it seems that the keyboard is not all the way at the bottom of the screen, it doesn't want to put a space every time I touch the spacebar, default keyboard. I see you suggest using an alternate, what's the reason?

Thanks again. Great so far.

Downloaded. Will test this later

Reason I suggest alternate keyboard, when I first booted up I started typing a message, hit the voice to text button, and phone rebooted. Tested this 3 times and all three resulted in reboot so there's some properties missing in this area. I use SwiftKey anyway. The prediction texting on stock is horrible compared to other keyboards you can get in the market. Example: I wrote this reply in seconds. I see what you mean with it not all the way at the bottom. That's odd, will look into it.

oh that's weird because I'm using it right now to say this into my reply. but maybe it's a kernel issue. Do you remember if that was the baked in or matr1x? Also, how can I enable trace with this keyboard? I live by that lol.

There's a few other things I've noticed. When you go to about phone and click about du or du statistics I get unfortunately settings has stopped every time.

And under "dirty tweaks/lock screen/misc tweaks/lockscreen notifications/privacy" the word being is spelled incorrectly as beeing. I don't know if that's intentional or upstream, or if nobody cares but I thought I'd bring it up.

Any idea why it would never provision? It told me 3 times that it's unable to complete.

What where your steps/actions leading up to provision problem ? Many of the little bugs will be fixed in the coming build. Building this one with the B kernel and also some different variables I used resulted in the issues. I wanted to get it posted up for all to test out and give me a checklist to fix. Thanks for the info.

What where your steps/actions leading up to provision problem ?

As soon as the phone boots for the first time and you start to enter information it wanted to activate the device. It dialed a *phone number I think it was *28something. But either way it was a recording that states the process could not be completed. I retried it a couple times and got the same message. The funny thing is that I have data and can make calls and get texts.

 

[k5t4j5]

Oh yeah, some roms do that, you can let it call and press 1,it'll say it couldn't activate, then you can just hit the skip button. You can also hit skip when it first pops up on and move on to adding Google account or boot up. Either way your activated.

If all goes well I'll be pushing a big update this afternoon/evening for everyone, few additional features, and hopefully lots of fixes.

Installed and setting up now. I did get a flash failed message. I had to install super su and reboot to recovery and flash that way.

Also I flashed mirage. Any drawbacks to that since this is built with matrix?

One more question. Remapping of the capacitive keys? Its not under buttons and I can't find it. I like changing my menu to a recents button.

Thanks for your work on this!!

It's built with b55 kernel, I suggest the matr1x kernel but you can try Mirage I haven't tried it with that one. Let me know how it goes though! A couple options didn't take in initial build but I think I have the problem solved and new update is building right now.

Pleasures all mine man, I'd been wanting to build this for a while since we didn't have an updated version, and the new stuff is awesome, just gotta get some kinks smoothed out.

Has anyone else noticed problems with messages? Data works fine but I can't send/receive any MMS.

You might look in mobile network's on make sure data is checked on. I was showing full data service but somehow it wasn't checked, maybe a reboot will fix also. New update halfway finished
