About DU:

Dirty Unicorns is a project that started out with no name. It was a project that was first based off AOKP back in the early days of Jelly Bean. In the early days it was just a one man show on one device, the EVO 3D. Since then, many others have joined the project and it has grown exponentially.

We have seen a lot of talent contribute to this project of ours. Big or small, the focus was always on contributing to the community. That is ultimately why we do what we do. After Jelly Bean, we decided to move to a new base, OmniROM. While AOKP was fun, OmniROM proved to be even more exciting base because it challenged us to see what we could do with a project that had different goals in mind. We learned a lot and again, gain contributors. With Lollipop, we moved to an AOSP base with a lot of patches from CAF to make our older devices function as they should. We grew even more and learned a whole lot more.

It has been an awesome learning experience and is still not over! We are still learning every day and continue to move forward. Lastly, we DO NOT 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 have patience, search, read and try to enjoy the process with us!!​

Known bugs:

You need to use real recovery. Built-in boot to recovery does not work, so to access recovery, do in the following order:

- Shut down your phone

- Press and hold volume down button

- Power on

- Keep holding the volume button until the sony logo is visible on your screen

If you experience a black screen while watching videos (e.g. in Youtube or video mode of the camera app), please go to Developer options and enable "Disable HW overlays"

FM radio is not working

Encryption is not tested, make a backup!

You might need to manually add your APN to get mobile data working

Frequently asked questions:

How can I get Viper4Android working?

Check this thread out https://plus.google.com/+JasonPasch5/posts/6JDRjdL2mKM

Are you coming from a ROM with Layers?

Make sure you remove your 'overlay' folders and perform a FULL WIPE

My battery stats are all messed and reporting the wrong percentage, what can I do?

Stop using another kernel. Do a FULL WIPE and flash the ROM again

Is this ROM CM based or AOSP based?

This ROM is based off AOSP

Does this ROM have layers or the CMTE?

This ROM uses the CM theme engine

I'm getting a FC from the theme chooser, what gives?

This is due to restoring data/apps from Google. Go ahead and clear data and cache for theme chooser and theme provider then reboot you should be good moving forward.

I changed my LCD density and now the navbar looks weird, what gives?

This is currenly an issue that we are aware of and addressing. For now after you changed density reset navbar layout or stay on the stock density.
