If you have custom rom, you should ask developer of this rom.

this might be in lockscreen apk. decompile it using apktool.

There is no such thing as lockscreen apk..
“It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.” - Mark Twain.
It is in framework-res.apk.. decompile it, in res/values/strings.xml, on the last two lines you will see a lines with
Code:
[B]<string name="text_lock_left">Sony Ericsson</string>[/B]
Code:
[B]<string name="text_lock_right">XperiaMiniPro</string>[/B]
that is where we define what text to show.
In res/layout,
in keyguard_screen_tab_unlock_land.xml <-- line 24 and 25,
the code
Code:
[B]<TextView android:textAppearance="?textAppearanceSmall" android:textStyle="bold" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="5.0dip" android:layout_marginBottom="4.0dip" android:text="@string/text_lock_left" ...[/B]
and
Code:
[B]<TextView android:textAppearance="?textAppearanceSmall" android:textStyle="bold" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginRight="5.0dip" android:layout_marginBottom="4.0dip" android:text="@string/text_lock_right" ...[/B]
and keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml, line 20 and 21, the code just the same,
that is where the strings is being called.
If you want to edit the text, just change in strings.xml.
if you want to remove it, 1 way is to remove from those 3 xml files OR just make the text blank
Code:
<string name="text_lock_left"> </string>
in strings.xml..
either way, you need to:
decompile the apk,
make the changes,
recompile back,
use TheGrammarFreak method if you wish, that 2 xml files in res/layout and also the resources.arsc is the one you need to drag and drop into your existing framework-res.apk
good luck..

you need to see forum rules. dont disrespect me or any other member of forum, its clear that i didn't know much about how to remove it but I tried helping him. by lockscreen apk, i meant that apk in whick lockscreen is contained, that might be home.apk too. and there is no cons in trying, i'm not telling him to brick his phone.
and yeah, i'm currently not active in forum but i replied to his thread because i know him personally.

@feed3 , Thank you very much . It worked . This was the kind of reply i was looking for so that i can change the text my self. I did not need to drag drop any resource.arsc . APK tool took care of it
Yaaaayyyy......
