Android News: Cyanogenmod 12 nightly builds now including the CM Theme Engine

One of the coolest features that Cyanogenmod offers is a fully fleshed out theme engine built directly into the OS for your Android device. There are tons of available themes on the Play Store and the internet that can completely change the look of your phone on the fly, and it’s one of the biggest things that’s been missing from Cyanogenmod 12.

Fortunately, looks like most of the hard work is over, as CM 12 nightly builds now have the theme engine baked in. The drawback here is that many, but not all, older themes have issues running on the newer theme engine, and some of them don’t actually work at all. As it stands, a theme won’t be able to have cross-compatibility between CM 11 and CM 12, so it’s going to be one or the other. T-Mobile’s older theme engine support is completely gone as well.

The theme engine should make its way into the next stable build of Cyanogenmod, but if you flash nightlies, you can go ahead and get a taste of applying some themes to your Lollipop device.
