If you own an Android device, you will want to
personalize it to suit your tastes and requirements. Luckily, the
operating system’s open source nature ensures that you can customize
just about every aspect of the functionality and design you can think
of. If you are not happy with your default theme icons and fonts or if
you want more transition effects and widgets, installing a theme
launcher will be the best way to go about it.
A launcher is basically an app that is responsible for the appearance and behavior of the interface such as the home screen and the app drawer. All Android devices do come with a stock launcher, but there are plenty of third-party apps in the Play Store and other websites that you can download to tweak the interface to your liking. In this tutorial, we show you how to install an Android theme using an Android launcher.
That’s it! As I mentioned earlier, there are plenty of good theme
launchers in the Play Store. Try out different ones so you can pick one
that works best for you.
