IT IS POSSIBLE TO HAVE EVERYTHING

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). Since then many others have joined the project and it has grown a whole lot. We have seen a lot of talent contribute to this project of ours and many of our contributors have gone 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. That said it has been an awesome learning experience and is 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.....

We will never ask for a dime. All we do ask is that you search, read and try to enjoy the process with us!!​

Yesterday my sp randomly started to give out and got me in a bootloop. I checked xda for any new ROMs, so I came back to M2. Now this comes out. Brah.

@TheAvengingTITAN Man, really appreciate your work. While the developers are tirelessly churning out ROM after ROM, you are tirelessly testing them and giving all of us a clear idea about the ROM's performance and battery life. Thank you. :angel:

Also, looks like #TeamRevolution has finally got me convinced to unlock my BootLoader. Time for my phone to lose its virginity and get dirty in Lollipop awesomeness. ;)

I just EXPECT SP users don't start complaining if the Devs delay their updates or something. Nobody could believe 2 months ago we would have Android 5.1.1 99% working (blame autobrightness for that 1%). Even to thinking in having more than 2 Lollipop based ROMs was crazy. Now the SP community is very excited about it. And everyone is praising the Devs whom brought this. I EXPECT (not hope this time @Furrydaus xD) that users be mature about it, and instead of complaining in the future... Be very thankful about all this. Sorry for the long post. Keep up the good work. I'll try this ROM as soon as I come back from work. :).

P.D: I'd hope to see Carbon ROM if the decide some day to update their source code. That would (at leaste for me) complete the ROM menu :). Thanks again.

This Myth Buster is on his way ;)
