Welcome to CMB Roms- CM done Better... Dark Themed for his/her Pleasure

Why CMB?
We are just better , in a nutshell we set out to give you the best of CM, with none of the annoying features (see list below), all this wrapped in a custom black theme. We used the KISS principal when deciding what to offer, we based our frameworks on CM alone (not FrankenFrameworks like some others out there), enabling us to provide updates and bug fixes as soon as CM does. This doesn't mean we are only relying on them for development, it just eases merging.

Features

• Based on Android 4.4.2_r1, CM11.0
• All current features CM11.0
• Customized Dark Holo Theme With Gray ActionBars
• Dark Mms
• Dark Calendar
• Dark Contacts
• Ramdisk security tweaks, you can adb as root now!
• Bash "tab to complete"
• Remount helper, in adb shell
  
  Old
  

  mount -o rw,remount /system

  New
  

  remount /system

  Better Right??

We plan to add more features, suggestions are welcome (but sometimes ignored )

Developer Comments/Know Issues/Changelog

Developer Comments
I am very pleased to be the first to offer a custom rom for the LG GPad 8.3 (V500)! This should be considered and early preview as there are some device hardware bugs (see issue list below), and rom tweaks (like theme) maybe forthcoming.

Drgravy and I have been working together (we both own this tablet) to get a device tree together. The tree is an amalgam of my own own work, drgravy's, and some from CM's forthcoming release

Special Thanks to @djrbliss for his bootloader patch LOKI this wouldn't be possible without it!

Instructions

• You must have a rooted device with one of the custom recoveries flashed (TWRP Recommended)
• Copy rom and gapps to your sdcard
• Reboot into recovery using adb
  

  [color=#333333]adb reboot recovery[/COLOR]

• Wipe data/Factory Reset
• Flash Rom and Gapps
• Reboot and Enjoy

Tips/Tricks

• If you get an error about incorrect device, update your TWRP recovery to the latest version released in drgravy's thread.
• Root is turned off by default in CM derived roms, you must enable developer settings first (tap the build number 8 times under about device), then enable root under Developer Settings

you need the updated twrp
the one called: twrp2.6.3.1.lok

 

[fattymcdirty]

hey, thanks a lot for your effort and the FIRST custom-rom for this great tablet
one question tho - could you provide a fully unthemed version?

 

[katsika]

Can i ask a question? If there is no combo key to enter recovery, how can i enter into recovery in case of a semi brick? Can you boot into recovery with adb and the tablet turned off?

 

[mallman]

Got Root?

things are working very well ad running good. However, is this ROM not rooted? From what i can tell it isn't.

 

[naruto.ninjakid]

Thanks Everyone !

KUDOS to everyone who contributed to this. Was hesitant before but now I will Purchase an LG G PAD because there will at least be some respectable ROMS and development for it. Again Thank you. :laugh::good::fingers-crossed::laugh:

Simultaneously press and hold the power and volume down buttons.
When the LG logo shows up, release the power button only.
Now press and hold the power and volume up button while keeping your hold on the volume down button.
When the factory reset screen appears, release your hold on all buttons.
Press the power button to continue.
Press the power button again to confirm if you’re sure you wish to continue with the reset.(NOTE if you are the newest TWRP recovery it should not wipe but if you are on the old version everything will be erased!)

please be sure you are on the latest twrp 2.6.3.1 for this to work correctly (even tho it says factory reset it wont reset it will just go into recovery)

see post #3 it is rooted

Thank You!

Thanks a ton for bringing a much awaited custom rom for LG G Pad:good:

Have two queries:
1) Will we be able to downgrade to stock rom for warrenty purposes after flashing this rom?
2) Does it include features of stock rom like Slide Aside, Knock on, QSlide etc.,?

 

[katsika]

Thank you so much for your replies. When i have some spare time i ll install twrp and this custom rom. Thnx again for all of your efforts

 

[nycbjr]

New build coming. I merged contacts a bit too fast yesterday (big update from 4.4 to 4.4.1) missed a black text reference. Hard to read black text on a black background lol
