Dirty Unicorns for Xperia SP (Huashan)




Dirty Unicorns is a Custom ROM based on AOSP with CyanogenMod Theme Engine for Theming your XSP at its BEST

About DU:-

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!!

I'm on build 4. And I feel the problem with unlock the device. I set unlock with "finger swipe" no gesture and it takes 2-3 seconds when I press the power buton and the screen goes on.
I don't have this lag on another 5.1.x ROM.

Clean Installed DU?
(Wiping Cache, Data, System and Dalvik is recommended for flashing any ROM on another..)
Well, its running okay as expected by other testers for this ROM, including me
