[DEV] Lock Screen - Source/Info Req - Nexus One Android Development

So,
Here's the deal:
I am a very capable java programmer, who wants to change some things about his N1. I don't care if the program I create can only be used for people who have root, (and for free).
Currently I have the N1 rooted, and am running Cyanogen's 5.0.5.2
My goal is to change the default lockscreen to include the following:
- SMS/Email display
- Upcoming Appointment
- Music control
All I need is the following:
- Where is the source code for the original located.
- Where is the apk installed that handles the current default lockscreen.
- How do I compile the source into apk so it can replace the default lockscreen.
Btw, you'll probably hear a lot more from me the coming months as I'm bringing a whole team of 'bout 20 programmers to the Android. ;-)
(We're from a university study, specialized in Artificial Intelligence. And our goal is to make (good) games.)
Any help, tips or requests would be really appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Thanks quick replies!
I'm gonna get right on it.

Love the idea. Will definitely be keeping on eye on this thread.
Always assumed someone could improve upon the lock screen.

---

Love to see the idea become true... Keep it up!

---

Good luck
I would like to see these features on my lockscreen...

Now that's nice (minus that AT&T logo of course lol) that would be a sweet lockscreen with the option to place what you want on there of course
great mockup

This is a great idea. The thing I'd like to see added to the lock screen most would be the info on the current song playing in the Android music player (Artist, Album, Track title). No more swiping the screen to get into the player - just hit the trackball or power button to activate the screen to see what you are listening to.
Anyway, I wish you success.

You could use the WidgetLocker application like I do, for now or a free application called MyLock, I believe.

Thanks, but since this is an Android forum, I figured it was clear I was looking for an Android solution...
When I had my HTC Touch Pro, I used S2U2 as well as A_C's great S2P and S2V apps and donated several times. I finally got tired of waiting for WM to play catchup with the rest of the mobile community, switched to Android and haven't looked back!

Thanks, I will take a look at those. Tried FlyScreen, but got tired of having to unlock my device twice in order to use it...

I guess I'm bad at explaining...
I mentioned s2u2 as an example to get ideas from as its the best unlock screen I know.
