How to set default theme for LatinIME in AOSP

I need some guidance with setting default theme for LatinIME on AOSP. I am not quite sure where this value is stored.

First I tried setting the theme in ThemeSettingsFragment.java located in LatinIME. So now everytime a theme was set or changed it would always pick mine. Later on I found out this class is only called when we open Keyboard themes in Settings (Language & Input -> Android Keyboard (AOSP) -> Appearance & layouts -> Theme). Resulting in theme being changed only IF we opened these view. My goal is to have my theme set when I build AOSP.

Next I suspected the value could be stored in some global configuration and that led me to class InputMethodManagerService.java where I found constant Settings.Secure.DEFAULT_INPUT_METHOD. But that didn't lead me anywhere worth while.

Anyone ever worked on something similar or knows the solution to my problem?
