Micromax’s subsidiary Yu has developed a close partnership with Cyanogen whose software is now found running on many of its devices. The recently unveiled Yu Yutopia is now exception to this rule and runs on Cyanogen OS 12.1 out of the box.
Beside the plethora of customisation options, Cyanogen OS also offers a theme engine allowing you to customise the look and feel of the OS. These themes can be applied either to the whole system or on a per-app basis.
To make it easier for users to look for themes, the CM team offers their own theme store where developers can host their themes. While the store lists both free and paid themes, trying to purchase any paid theme will take you to the Play Store. This way you will be able to use the theme in the future on other Cyanogen OS running devices as well.
If you own a Yu Yutopia, Yureka, Yureka Plus or any other device from Yu or any other device running Cyanogen OS and are looking for some themes for it, check out our roundup below.
Sense 7
As its name suggests, the Sense 7 theme for Cyanogen OS brings HTC’s famous Sense UI theme to your Cyanogen OS running Yu device. The developer has gone to considerable lengths to make the theme as complete as possible, which can be seen from the fact that he has even included a boot animation, font and sound pack in it to get the complete Sense 7 look and feel.
Fresh UI
Compared to other themes in this list, Fresh UI is a relatively light theme and weighs in at only 10MB. However, thanks to its pastel color look and flatter design, the theme does a great job of refreshing the UI of Cyanogen OS.
