CynogenMod seems to be one of the best things to happen with the evolution of Android OS for smartphones. To be frank, there was a time I didn’t know that third party custom ROMs do exist. However, CyanogenMod was the one which made third party custom ROMs compelling than what came pre-installed with the device (OEM-specific). Even further, CyanogenMod themes turned in many users to try CyanogenMod.
So, CyanogenMod is known for its rich features and customization ability. Well, what is better than trying out different themes to customize the look? Especially, when a theme works system-wide (menu, notification bar, lock screen etc.) and not just the home screen or the app drawer like a typical launcher theme does.
In this article, we will take a look at 8 of the top CyanogenMod themes for your Android device.

Hi Ankush,
These are some cool CyanogenMod themes. I tried almost all the themes you mentioned here. There is one fantastic theme for CyanogenMod. The “My Style” theme from “RTosta” is an excellent theme to add to this list.
I love material theme, it is clean and simple.
More complexity and over designed themes are crap.
That’s a unique and good choice Subhnish.
