Welcome to CMB Roms- CM done Better *or different... 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 with Gray AB
  • Dark Calendar
  • Dark Contacts
  • Dark Dialer with Gray AB's and custom call log
  • Ramdisk security tweaks, you can adb as root now!
  • Bash "tab to complete"
  • Remount helper, in adb shell

    Old
    Code: 
    mount -o rw,remount /system
    New
    Code: 
    remount /system
    Better Right?? :)
We plan to add more features, suggestions are welcome (but sometimes ignored :p)

Developer Comments
Back after an all to long hiatus! Sorry for the long delay in updates (life has been very busy). You might remember me from such devices as the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (rooter), TF700T (first released AOSP rom), Pollux_windy (provided fix for gps on aosp roms), LG Gpad 8.3 (first device tree/custom aosp rom). I am pleased to bring you CMB Roms for the Nexus 5! Ihope you enjoy this "craft brewed" rom, I sure love creating it :D

I have been running this for the last 4 days and simply amazing. I have only one issue and that was the Swype feature on the Asop keyboard but not a major issue because I use touch pal. This is a great Rom with amazing battery life. Thank you for sharing this with us.

I can confirm the battery reports. Absolutely amazing!

Think I've tried every ROM available but I've never ever had 48% battery left after a days use, without charging!

Great job! The ROM is amazing also :)
