Especially when we know that Xiaomi will not be giving the device with Android 7.0 Nougat update officially. So the offer of CyanogenMod team with the official build of CM14.1 must be a great news for you all.
However the ROM is simply a nightly one and it doesn't come up with all the the CyanogenMod specific utilities, one of which is CM Theme Manager. In case the feature is so essential for you then you probably want to wait for the next version.

Again I must remind you that the CM14.1 is neither developed nor released by Xiami, instead it's a modified ROM developed by the third-party developers in the CyanogenMod team. Therefore to install it you are going to need a Custom Recovery such as CWM or TWRP or the kind in order to flash zip file of the ROM on your device.
And the ROM is the first official release from CyanogenMod for the Xiaomi Redmi 1S device. Flashing it will void your warranty. And you are required to already have unlocked your device's bootloader.
- The ROM is only for the Xiaomi Redmi 1S device.
- Backup all the data you regard precious before starting to follow the tutorials.
- Your device should already be powered with either CWM or TWRP recovery. Haven't done it? Then please head to the install TWRP on any Android device post.
- Don't forget to also enable USB debugging mode on Android device.
- You are going to need a computer and a USB cable.
- Remember that you need to follow each step written on the tutorial section without skipping any step if you want to be successful in flashing the CM14.1 Nightly ROM on your Xiaomi Redmi 1S device.
