The information below should apply no matter who made your Android phone (Samsung, Google, Huawei, Xiaomi, etc.).

Installing Themes for Android in the Google Play Store

To install the themes you find on the Google Play Store, you'll first need to install what's called an Android launcher. Once you download a theme, open it, and you're prompted to download and install the appropriate launcher. When that's done, you can apply the theme. The themes below all require CMM Launcher. You can download CMM Launcher and search for themes to install on your device within the app, or you can download the themes directly from Google Play. Installing the launcher may not automatically apply the theme. Go to Play Store > My apps & games > Installed to find the theme you downloaded, then tap Open to apply the theme. 01 of 05
