I read about potentially using a transparent png image to be able to see your screen before unlocking but after trying several .png files I came up with no luck. The phone either uses black background before your image or it just doesnt recognize the transparent. Any ideas?

If you want to do it yourself, here's how:
I use notepad++ for editing, but any editor will work. Use apkmanager to decompile / compile framework-res.apk.
Edit res/layout/keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml.
In line 2 replace android:background="@color/background_dark" with android:background="@drawable/default_wallpaper".
In line 5 replace android:background="#30000000" with android:background="@color/transparent".
In line 12 replace android:layout_marginBottom="80.0dip" to android:layout_marginBottom="0.0dip".
Edit res/layout/zzz_keyguard_screen_lockscreenwallpaper.xml.
In line 2 replace android:background="#ff000000" with android:background="@color/transparent".
In res/drawable-hdpi:
Replace default_wallpaper.jpg with default_wallpaper.png. Replace zzzzzzzz_default_lockscreenw.jpg with transparent zzzzzzzz_default_lockscreenw.png (can be any png size 480x800).
Thats it.

Thank you!
And this will allow for transport and non transparent (opaque?) backgrounds right?
No idea honestly, just came across that thread a few days ago and haven't gotten around to trying it.
Anybody actually try this yet??? sounds like a cool idea
I have transparent zzzzzzzz_default_lockscreenw.png
can I replace it over the original without decomp/recomp? I haven't done that yet, iffy about doing something wrong. (I've heard of people not recompiling right and unhappy results)

Is Jkay mod available allready as a separate apk, so I can run on any rom. I've been looking hard, even asking Jkay himself, and haven't got any answer yet.

I can't do all the work for you. Best way to learn this stuff is to do a little foot work. If you can't find one for your ROM, there are plenty of great ROMs with jkay preinstalled.

As far as I am aware, they are not avaliable for UCKK6. Additionally, Jkay himself states in his post not to ask about porting to anything other than what is listed. I’m not trying to be rude, just saying that is probably why you aren’t getting a reply. #3 on the third post

I have used v12 on Villian ROM and v13 on Check ROM (both hellraised) and they both worked great. I recently moved back to Unnamed and the Jkay stuff is the one thing I miss most.
I found this. It isn't jkay, but it might have what you want. I will try it out myself and get back to you.
*edit* Not exactly what your looking for. It has a transparent pull down and you can change the order and appearance of quick toggle items but no transparent lock screen. Still pretty neat mod though.
There is a mod out I'm going to try, the maker of it made one for 2.2.1 for me but before I was able to install it I ended up going back to 1.3.2 and now I'm going to try it myself.

any chance you would be willing to do one for the Blue Monkey for UnNamed 1.3.1 ROM?
Sorry I just dont have a lot of extra time to do it myself. We have a ton of other clocks that are on the screens (lock screens, widgets, ect) and I just find it un-necessary clutter to having the same info in more than one place on your screen (for example running Beautiful widgets on the main screen as well as having the Notification bar clock). I would be forever in your debt!!!

Download the rom, pull out framework-res apk from /system/framework. From there, follow the instructions from one of the links in my signature (image replacement).
I happen to already have the icons extracted. Post your framework-res apk and I'll implement it (or try it on your own).

I'm pretty sure there is a lot more to it! If not we'd have roms with 10 locksreens like in Captivate Roms, etc. I'm sure its tougher than it seems otherwise devs would have done it already.

Hey themers:
I'm just getting acquainted with making small modifications to the system and am currently working from a stock 4.0.4 LPL based ROM. I would like to implement a 50% translucent effect on the TW status bar.
I've decompiled SystemUI.apk many different ways - as a non-system app, an app w/ dependencies (both framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk), I've recompiled without any issues at all and immediately de-compiled to make sure my changes "stick", and they do. I then throw them into a flashable zip, wipe cache/dalvik, flash the zip and fix permissions, no go.
I'm following a guide that was originally posted in the GS2 forum that instructs us to do the following:
1) SystemUI StatusBar.smali - locate the "...Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;-><init>(IIIII)V" statement and change the const/v16 above it from "const/16 v16, 0x4" to "const/16 v16, -0x3".
2) Go to res > values > drawables.xml and edit "status_bar_background" hex to #7f000000 for 50% transparency.
This didn't work on its own, so on top of that I also tried implementing the same sort of change mentioned in #1 above on both the PhoneStatusBar and TabletStatusBar.smali files. Still no go. The system boots no problem, but just no change in the visual appearance of the status bar.
Does anyone have any ideas outside of this on what smali file or statement in the above files might control this feature? I'm still digging but didn't know if others had attempted this. Thanks to any and all who are willing to help. I don't need anyone to look at code for me, just a gentle shove in the right direction would be fantastic!
+1 for this.
I'd love to see this work.

Does tw use a standard grey block to extend the background for the status bar? It sounds like it would and if that is do you could try adding that grey colour to an alpha channel on the image.

You need to modify the "tw_" variants of the status bar definitions to see anything happen, TouchWiz UI does not use the regular assets/definitions.

No problem, I spent most of last night working out how to move the system bar from the bottom of the screen to the top using a decompiled SystemUI from the TouchWiz rom for the Galaxy Tab. You might find that even though you make the bar transparent that the area behind it is black anyway (it is for me at least using the official 4.0.4 rom) due to it assuming that the system bar is being rendered there. I'm yet to figure out how to manipulate the rest of the WindowManager environment to fix the issue.

I did some basic search and couldn't find it.
I'm actually okay with the app drawer's icon, I just don't want it on the bottom right corner. I want it in the middle. I've used Nova so that is my last resort but I actually want to use TW and try out couple of things on it.
Thank you
I prefer my app drawer in the middle as well. I use GoLauncher with a GS4 Touchwiz theme.
I haven't used TW in months and never used the stock launcher so pardon any ignorance, but can't you just long press and drag to rearrange things in the dock like the stock AOSP launcher? If not, and you really don't want to use a different launcher, you'll have to decompile the apk and poke around.
Just curious, why do you prefer the stock TW launcher over something like Nova, which can be set up to look exactly like it if you want?

I for one do theming and now that the dev has gone out of his way to try and prevent themers from doing things... his app and he can do anythign he wants.. But I now switched to using stock launcher.. an no it can be dragged. the other 4 can but not app icon.. its weird...
I have been trying to do this for weeks, almost months! Previously on a Galaxy S II and now on my I9505 S4. I have decompiled and search throughout xml files and smali files and I can't find it anywhere. I suspect that it has something to do with the animation. Because when you delete all of the other apps out of the dock (Hotseat) the all apps icon is in the middle. Which is great, if you don't want any other apps in the dock. But then as soon as you go to add another icon in there, it creates almost like a little buffer in between the apps icon and the icon you have just put in the drawer.
So I think it has something to do with animation which needs to be disabled and I don't think there is any way to do it in any of the res folders (layout, values, etc) so I'm fairly certain it needs to be done in smali files, but smali to me is like trying to read Swahili so I can't really work out how to do it.
If I find out how to center the apps icon then I will post it here, but for now it's proving to be fruitless.

Same. If you could dig through the smali files while the launcher was active (IE if you could dig through the smali files while the launcher was running on your device) you might be able to find it by comparing an active launcher with just the app menu button as opposed to one with all 5 spots filled ... however, I'm not sure that's possible. Could it be emulated/VM'd on a PC?

The csc folder is in /system I thought that after modifying SecLauncher3.apk (smali, xml, etc..) that you had to change some text in /system/csc/feature.xml and /system/csc/default_workspace.xml in order for the changes to occur
