Dirty Unicorns Shut Down

Dirty Unicorns Custom ROM Officially DiscontinuedIf youโ€™re into Android custom ROM specs for a long time, you may have heard about Dirty Unicorns somehow. The open-source project launched a decade ago has a growing number of volunteers contributing to the project.

Theyโ€™ve made custom ROM for a handful of devices like Pixel XL (Marlin), Pixel 2XL (Taimen), Pixel 3/3XL (Blueline/Crosshatch), Pixel 3a XL (Bonito), Pixel 4XL (Coral), OnePlus 3/3T (Fruitcake) and Moto G5 Plus (Potter).

All can be downloaded from their website. Alongside the official builds, theyโ€™re also releasing Weeklies, which โ€œare incremental builds that are posted between official builds. These builds are meant to be as solid as the official but can contain work in progress mods/tweaks from time to time.โ€ They have also tuned the device-specific features like Active Edge in Pixel handsets.

Yet, the makers have decided to shut down the service for good. They cited it as a โ€œshift in the responsibilitiesโ€œ, where most of its core members have new things to take up. Also, theyโ€™ve mentioned last yearโ€™s pandemic too as one of their reasons to cease operations, as theyโ€™ve taken a significant hit and even now dealing with it.

Finally, they thanked all those who we contributed to the project development, and said: โ€œOur team just does not have the time and effort that it did once.โ€ Also, theyโ€™ve decided to keep their GitHub repository open for future reference and waved goodbye.
