Install Android 2.3 Gingerbread Themed CyanogenMod ROM On HTC Aria

To take a break from all the AOSP based Gingerbread ROMs that we’ve been recently featuring for Android devices, we are now bringing you a CyanogenMod 6.1.1 ROM for the HTC Aria that’s been themed with Gingerbread looks while being based on Android 2.2.1 FroYo. If you are an HTC Aria owner who wants all the features CyanogenMod is famous for, along with the latest Gingerbread looks that everyone wants, continue reading after the break.

This ROM is brought to you by brswattt at XDA-Developers forums who took CyanogenMod and integrated a Gingerbread theme into it. With this ROM, you get all the features and modifications of CyanogenMod along with the Gingerbread launcher, keyboard, lock screen, home screen, menus, widgets etc.
