LineageOS Starts Removing Theme Engine Related Code, Basically Confirming CMTE's Demise
As a part of the LineageOS 15 bringup, the old CyanogenMod Theme Engine (CMTE) was finally axed for good after most mentions were removed from the code.
Before the rise of Substratum, there was the CyanogenMod Theme Engine (CMTE). Introduced all the way back with CyanogenMod 9 (based on Android Ice Cream Sandwich), it added system-wide theme capabilities to CyanogenMod builds. With the release of CyanogenMod 14 (which later became LineageOS), CMTE was nowhere to be found. Meanwhile many other popular custom ROMs started to favor the OMS-based Substratum Theme Engine in their builds. And with Android 8.0 Oreo now including native OMS support, it appears that the LineageOS team has now pulled the plug on CMTE for good.
