Is this a homosexual lockscreen? Not even funny boys wtf!!! Lol



Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App

You guys had me saying WTF @ the lock screen. After the flash i wait 10 mins before i rebooted so i took a lil nap... I woke up, turn on my screen and there is a damn UNICORN DUDE on my lock screen!!!:eek: I thought my phone was really possessed by UNICORNS!! Nice one Team Kang!!

Well, we all know that AOKP and TeamKang is pretty well known for its love of unicorns. How many of you actually know the history of it? I for one do and remember it quite well. So I will give everyone a little info of how it came to be and why we would want to change it.Well first off the whole thing started before AOKP was even really born. I could go into my windows partition and probably find the exact date....but it was approximately around late October- early November of 2011. Roman and Whitehawkx where working on a update to their ROM for the T-Mobile SGS2 named Juggernaut. And decided they wanted a logo for the team. We where joking around on twitter throwing ideas around. Whitehawkx wanted something pink, and someone we got on the idea of a unicorn.Well I started looking around at images just trying to brainstorm ideas. I came across this site, that was nothing more then an image and a description of this image and what it represented. (I can't for the life of me find this site again, I have tried and tried.) But, basically it was the image of the unicorn we all know today. The description from this site was saying that the unicorn represented a coder looking for that perfect code, that he will never find. In other words he was chasing a unicorn. And he was angry because he would never find it.So just for laughs, I threw together a quick icon using this image. It was all meant to be a joke and sort of a way for trolling users. 90% of users HATED it! However it stuck...We had no idea AOKP would take off the way it did. In Juggernaut they even got me to theme icons and pulldowns for Christmas.This is the original icon I had made using it.and a few others.Here are some quotes, from users after they first seen it and after they changed the default lockscreen wallpaper to this:Theres tons more you can find in the threads for that ROM on XDA and here on Rootz. But basically you get the point.Long story short, the unicorn was just a joke and a random image we found. We had no intention of using it as long as we have or that people would grow to love it or affiliate us with it as they do now. So now you can see some of our reasoning behind wanting to switch things up with something more original, something creative, something that is ours.
