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!!

Hi Saatvik,
I saw the post and couldn't control myself and so downloaded the ROM and installed it by performing all swipes. BTW, I didn't flash the Kernel included in this ROM as I'm in office and I don't have option to install flash tool in my ofyc PC.
So i was on DARK Kernel. I saw few screen lags while locking and unlocking, broken screen while scrolling.
After reaching home, I flashed Kernel in the ROM.
everything is super smooth, lots of features.. Full happies....
But Wi-Fi is not working eventhough I was able to connect to Wifi while on DARK KERNEL.

Everything's fine except battery..
Review
One of the best roms for neo v..
Played some games with decent graphics and they went well..
Butter smooth performance and speed is good..
The only drawback is battery stamina which lasts only for a day under moderate use too..
I didnt do any browsing and games...
Wifi worked well all the time without any signal loss..
Hope the next update is as good as this..
Thanks @ Saatvik Shukla
