Do you recently purchase an android phone that the default theme is not looking gorgeously? And would like to change this default theme to a beautiful elegant theme? Don’t worry; today I will work you through towards changing your android default theme to better theme.

First, you have to understand that your android phone needs to be rooted, for this to be possible otherwise it would not be possible.

What is Rooting of Android Phone

Root according to androidcentral,  is the adding of a standard Linux function that was removed. A small file called su is placed in the system and given permissions so that another user can run it. If you run the file without any other parameters it switches your credentials and permissions from a normal user to that of the superuser. You are then in complete control, and can add anything, remove anything and access functions on your phone or tablet that you couldn’t reach before. This is pretty important, and something you should think about before you begin.

There different types or classes of android phones include;
Google Nexus 5, HTC One, Samsung Galaxy Note 3, Samsung Galaxy S4 (Sprint) ,LG Electronics Optimus G Pro, Samsung Galaxy Note II (AT&T), Motorola Moto X, Sony Xperia Z, Motorola Droid Maxx, LG Electronics G2.

It is only the Rooted Android phones that have access to custom themes that can replace your home screen, notification and your other phone system graphics. Themes that are compatible with the specific Android-rooted Read-Only-Memory (ROM) can replace the default theme of your phone.

When you install an incompatible theme on your phone, you will likely run into issues with your phone operating system or phone functions but when compatible these themes will give your phone a new look. You can switch from one theme to another at any time you like.

You can manually Root your android phone BUT you need to take precaution because you can damage the operating system of the phone. Again, it may be against the manufacturer’s terms and conditions. If you want to know how to root an android phone then you can Google out that.
