I'm trying to figure out where the lockscreen is located inside of a Rom. I would like to port over some lockscreens from other phones? Do I just need the lockscreen xml file and the .png images? Or is there a lot more to it?
Thanks in advance.

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.

I'm wanting to do the galaxy note lockscreen, it's already built into one of the roms in the dev section so i figured it might be a little easier to just pull it out and put it any other roms? Not too sure though, still reading a little on it. Just hoping someone here with experience with that sort of thing could help me out.

First step is decompile res... And start looking around and switching out lockscreen pic xml and anything else applicable to lockscreen.
Another thing that might help is taking a look at jkay mod as it switches around lockscreen..
I have done lockscreen on other phone buy not on this one yet. my cimputer fried so when my laptop comes in the mail i will see if i can find time to help you.

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)

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.

that is different. let me see what i can do, if anything
ok so the reason why it looks small, is because its meant for hdpi devices and we have xhdpi. so all the png's will need to be converted. but let me see if i can decompile it without any errors to make sure there are no xmls that needs to be edited too.
Edit:
Looks like we need 4 edits in an xml. and the png's need to be resized from 80 x 80 to 120 x 120
i am no good with photoshop so we need to find someone willing to do that. it should all work after that.

Ok so you're right, it pulls resources from the .m10 and the pngs are just placements for the app. I've never used the .m10 editor but I have it all set up on my laptop. Going to try and see what I can do with it.

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

I was on 7 HTC phone before coming to the SG3/SG4 so I haven't ever themed Samsung besides SG3 which was cake, but it was also using Bean's work as a base 99% his. I can do it I just don't enjoy it as much, as I am not as good.
I'll help anyway as well.
Hope can get the contacts bro. I really want to get the AOSP theme rocking. Maaybee you want to team up with me on it? who knows? that would be so sick.
Either way glad this thread will hopefully get some good use for people.

I may be remembering incorrectly, but I think it is in the framework. It's something like tw-background light/dark. I'll double check when I get home to confirm.

I think this is right but I learn as I go.
Frameworks drawable-sw360dp-xxhdpi /tw_background_holo_light.png
I'm gonna theme to darken dialer so if I can confirm I'll report.
Edit: that did change contacts/recents backround but not dialer.

Dialer background is in a different spot for what ever reason. Its in sec contacts apk under one of the layout files with "dialpad_fragment" in the name.

if you change the contacts_list_content.xml in SecContacts and add android:background(line 12) that will change that. The problem with changing the image in frameworks file, is if any other apps calls a system resource it will make it darkbackground with most likely black text... This screwing that up.
So then you gotta redo that app. so I prefer to make the app inverted all by iteself and not reply up backgrounds and such from framework if I can help it....
Just a different way of doing it.....

Sorry. long weekend. Wrong person you are correct..
FWIW both methods did the exact same changes..
im trying to change the background of secsettings.apk from black/white text to white/black text
i know the changes need to be made in secsettings.apk. Nothing in there references a framework file.
i changed devicedefault to devicedefault.light in /res/vaules/styles.xml with no luck
any advice?

So just use the compare plugin in notepad++. It will highlight where text is moved.
