Dirty Unicorns ROM for Galaxy S4! [Android 5.1.1]

*Note 2 – The video overview is for Galaxy S3 but 99% of the features are the same as the one for S4.

Since this ROM is identical to the Galaxy S3 version, here’s an except of its features:

If so, check out the latest Dirty Unicorns ROM, which is an excellent custom ROM based on the latest Android 5.1.1 and brings you a high level of great customizations.  Camera works great out of the box (I recommend the Google Camera on Play Store so you get Panorama, Lens Blur, and PhotoSphere modes) along with excellent navigation customization where you can customize all of your buttons (including Home, Back, and Menu buttons with short, long, and double-press) or even disable them altogether and go with soft navigation buttons, which you can also customize with your favorite shortcuts.

Of course, that’s not all and you will be able to fully customize your status bar, add weather widgets on lockscreen/status bar, change LCD density, and much more.  All of these tweaks can be found under Dirty Tweaks in Settings.

For performance, you won’t get any better than this as Dirty Unicorns brings you all the performance improvements of Android 5.1.1 (30% faster than KitKat) and much much more.  Overall, this is an excellent custom ROM to get you up to speed with Android’s latest improvements along with custom options provided by open source ROM developers so definitely give this ROM a go this week(end) and do let me know what you think!

*Note – For AT&T SGH-i337 or Verizon SCH-i545, you CANNOT USE SAFESTRAP, you must have CWM or TWRP recovery installed already!

Make sure you are using CWM v.6.0.4.3 or higher to install Android 5.0+ Lollipop ROMs! Also you can use TWRP v2.6.3.3 or higher.  You can update your CWM recovery using ROM Manager app on Play Store or TWRP Recovery using Goo Manager on Play Store.  If having trouble, you can update manually, see our CWM/TWRP Recovery for Galaxy S4.  For AT&T or Verizon with Loki, see How to Update with TWRP v2.8.4.0!

To install, reboot into recovery, make backup ROM, wipe data/factory reset, install ROM, and reboot.  (If for some reason you end up in a bootloop or get force-closed keyboard error on boot, reboot into CWM recovery, go to Mounts & Storage->format /system.  For TWRP, go to Wipe->Advanced Wipe->Wipe /system.)
