Downloads in second post!

Keep in mind that you flash this on your own risk. You have been warned!

NOTE
This is an UNOFFICIAL build of Dirty Unicorns ROM for Honami and by NO means this is my ROM. I am just compiling from source and 100% credits goes to Dirty Unicorns team.
Also note, this post is a direct copy/paste from giveme13s original, here, as it all applies here too.

Do NOT expect daily builds. I'll build when I'm free.
Do NOT expect full support. I'm just a noob and still learning
Do NOT use this unofficial build and ask for support at the official threads.
Do NOT be rude.
Respect all users
If you see a NOOB question and you don't feel like replying, DON'T, just ignore that post. If you do reply, good for you.....and be nice in your reply.


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!!

| OmniROM | AOKP | CM | ChaOS | Paranoid Android | Slim ROMs | Preludedrew | Team Black Out | Official Testers / Translators |

Please check our gerrit/github for full credits/thanks of individual contributors
Believe it or not, we are human and we do forget things. If we have left someone out of the credit/thanks list, and we'll gladly add on to the list.

New feature: Dynamic Colour Changer! Ported from OmniROM

Hard to figure out who ported it, but it might have been this guy.
Other news is also in the Google+ community for DU.

Download link:
LATEST VERSION IS v8.2 WHICH IS AVAILABLE IN THE THREAD DOWNLOAD SECTION.
Please note, for the latest version, you will still need the Camera20MP_DU.zip and TorchDU.zip flashables attached to this post.

New governors;
Badass,
Lagfree,
Nightmare;
Intelliactive,
Intellidemand.

Disabled governors; Performance, Powersave, and also Conservative. These 3 are pretty much pointless with the new ones built in, and I suspect Conservative may have caused some issues with touch going haywire. A little hard to prove it though.

Old Versions
Version - 8.0 - 10-11-2014 - Latest -- MD5 Checksum
Version - 8.0 - 10-10-2014 -- MD5 Checksum

ver. 7.9 Sept-22, build with JustArchi's ArchiDroid Optimization, Linaro 4.7.4, and SaberMod 4.8.4 (md5sum: 063af4b3973a39c455944a4f48a280d3)

GAPPS

Also attached is an APK and a flashable zip, for replacing the camera in the rom, with the proper 20m Camera. (Cam in rom is 8m only).
You will notice that the torch doesn't work, as the apk isn't included. Please flash it with the attached TorchDU.zip

Cool, congrats man,
Umm are you planing on sharing your sources?
(your changes on device tree and stuff that you made to compile and the dependencies)

That would be great :)

Regards,
Omar.
Sure, I've got limited time due to work and study at the moment, so its slow going.

I plan to fork a few sources and commit the changes, or just create a patch file, as there really isn't that many changes.
I'll try get one or the other up on github soon.

Fortunately I've kept a log of the changes in a text file, so it won't be a difficult thing to do. And will probably help a few more newbies.

kernel pimped?
No, but I'm working on adding some things from that kernel to my own. And also perhaps recompiling Pimped kernel to latest.

Rom now updated with recompiled kernel containing extra governors;
--Intelliactive
--Intellidemand
--SmartassV2
--Badass

Have also removed "powersave", it runs at lowest freq, which makes the phone almost unusable.

Re try a fresh install and don't touch the partitions from the mount section, wipe everything and then reboot into recovery again and then install the rom and gapps, then reboot and it'll be fine
