This is basically a tutorial for how to use Winterboard app. I am not a developer, but I thought it would be gr8 to share this app with you.

XDA Portal article: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/cydia-substrate-released-by-saurik-for-android/

With this you can install and use themes made for CyanogenMod OS on any rooted Android phone with ease.
Works perfectly without any hassles

Requirements

Rooted phone. (Google if you haven't)

WinterBoard: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.saurik.winterboard

Cydia Substrate: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.saurik.substrate

Installation

1. Install both the apps.

2. Run Substrate app.

3. Tap on "Link Substrate Files"

4. Grant Superuser permissions.

5. After linking tap on "Restart System (Soft)

6. You phone will reboot.

7. After it again open Substrate and tap "Restart System (Soft)

8. Install desired themes for Play Store.

9. Open WinterBoard.

10. Tap on the theme icons which you want to enable.

11. You can prioritize them by moving them up using check box.

12. After that tap on "Restart Zygote"

Features

No need to install CyanogenMod custom ROM.

Can use multiple themes at a time.

After the setup is done the applying theme process is quick.


Note
I only tested this thing on Jelly Bean device and like 2 years back, haven't tested afterwards. Dev stopped development while back. Also only CM10 theme.

Alternatively I would suggest HK Theme Manager.

I was looking for a replacement themer app for certain roms that do not use the CM themer cause I cant seem to get it ported or aligned right and their is no forums that teach you how. I just wish I did not have to restart the phone to install the theme if I could just somehow figure it to just do the systemUI that would be much more tasteful....Thanks :good:
