 * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
 * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
 * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
 * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
 * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. Hard. A lot.

>> Omnirom combined with full Layers 3.1 support

What is Layers?
It's a theming mechanism developed by sykopompos late last year, similar in its end result to the CM theme engine, but in principle less buggy since it modifies values directly in the Android files on startup.

"Pure AOSP" ROMs favour layers vs bolting the CM theme engine on top.

You need to restart to apply changes, unlike the CM theme engine.

Personally, I like the AOSP + CM theme engine combo since I have bought a load of themes over time, but that's just me.

Search Google Play for Layers or RRO, you'll see a lot of options, it's worth trying out.
