Hey guys, another guide added, just thought you wanted to know about this :) Some time ago Cydia Substrate was released, it's kinda like Xposed. After that, Winterboard was released, an extension used to theme iOS, and now both of them work on our Razr i. This works on odexed and deodexed, stock or custom. Let's go:

Requisites

1-Root
2-Bootloader unlocked
3-Recovery

Download and install Cydia Substrate and WinterBoard.

Open Cydia, it will ask you to install some files to begin, just click yes. Then it'll do a soft reboot. After that, open WinterBoard, choose the theme you downloaded previously (lots, if not all CM themes work) and then click on "Restart Zygote" on top of the screen.

Notes:
Code:
For ICS, use CM9 themes. For JB, use CM10/10.1 themes
Icon packs do not work, use the ones according to launcher
No CM7 themes
If you get bricked, long press Vol+ keyboard until it boots (disables Cydia). Then reboot to bootloader and wipe cache & dalvik. If you did this, try another theme, but you'll have to install Cydia files again. 
Theming is not 100%
Lockscreens and icons are NOT themed
Enjoy!

Thanks grupoandroid for the pics

Enjoy!
Hello such, only to suggest, you put your own screenshots, to know how you have been to you the phone, since I have posted these screenshots in grupoandroid and I have not heard of any request you, that you wanted to use.

Here is a thread on issues which start Marco Lomas, who first made ​​aware that Cydia was still compatible with our Razr I, so I followed the rules and did not post here (I did in HTCmania and Grupoandroid)

just as it should be for the ways ..... if you make a thread you should do so with your own material, so unless it is the intention and EFFORT to help.

Thanks
Greetings and Luck ;)

For me, only some of the themes change the menu UI. Also, only some of the icons in the menu get changed, some don't. I thought that the version of CM that some themes were made for might be an issue, so I've tried some made for CM 10.1 and still, some icons and pieces are unchanged.

I added screenshots below. You see flight mode and tethering never get changed.

I completely uninstalled the apps and reinstalled them. I then only tried 10.1 themes. It still happens! Grrr

Also do some themes downloaded not 'appear' for people in Winterboard? Sometimes if I restart the phone, they appear, some never appear even though they are in the installed app list.

Thanks for any help. :angel:
