This is tested on FreeX10 Beta 4. Make a backup if you want to test on another ROM. Please post if it works and what ROM you are on.
I stumbled upon this way to have a custom lockscreen background in the N1 forums and wanted to port it over to the X10... So I PMed rori~ (the original developer from the N1 thread) and asked him to help me port this to the X10... but he ended up doing the porting completely.
THIS .ZIP IS FOR METAMORPH - NOT RECOVERY
This morph allows for a separate wallpaper to be used on the lockscreen (like miui).
This morph replaces the original default_wallpaper.jpg in the framework-res.apk and mods the keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml in the framework-res.apk to use the default_wallpaper.jpg.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Make a nandroid backup because this alters the framework-res.apk.
1b. Make sure you have a backup of your wallpaper because this will most likely change it, so you will have to reapply your original wallpaper.
2. Install metamorph if you haven't already.
3. Create a folder on the root of the sd card called AndroidThemes.
4. Place CustomLockscreenX10_Morph.zip in this folder.
5. In metamorph click "Unzip/Extract New Theme" pick this .zip.
Now in the AndroidThemes folder is a folder called CustomLockscreenX10_Morph. In there use a file explorer to navigate to framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi and drawable-hdpi-v4. Replace the image in those folders with any .jpg with a resolution of 480x854 of your choice. (Some themes use the hdpi-v4 layout so I included that too)
6. Go back to metamorph and click "Apply All".
The phone may reboot, this is fine.
If the lockscreen wallpaper is not the file you chose reboot into recovery and clear cache and dalvik cache (first reboot after this will take a long time while the cache is rebuilt).
IF YOU WISH TO THANK ANYBODY PLEASE THANK rori~ IN THIS THREAD!
rori~ made this possible, I just made the metamorph .zip work with our phone.
*screenshot of lockscreen is the current default_wallpaper.jpg in this .zip*
*second screenshot is just to show the home screen wallpaper is different*
Why would someone want to do that sorry not meaning to be rude :/ and is it possible to customize the lockscreen this way?

Some people would like to have this option.
It is an option available in Miui and some HTC phones, but I personally don't like Miui much, and some others don't but may like this MOD.
It's just to give people an extra option in customization.
Is it possible to customize the lockscreen in which way?
Widget locker app allows you to fully customize your lock screen changing wallpaper, sliders and adding widgets its paid app
Nice find of you don't want the app though

Yeah, I know about widget locker, I wanted this option without using an app, I wanted it integrated into the OS.
Thanks for the info though.
hmm, I've already been doing this for a couple weeks now through Theme manager, but it may be a custom option because I am running MiUI 2.3? Cool, though, this works for all other ROMs?

As far as I know Miui has this option, but most Android ROM's don't.
It should work with any 2.2 ROM based off of z's Beta 4 (as long as the framework isn't too different).
It would probably work with most 2.2 X10 ROMs.
cool, thanks been testing/running Miui for alittle while now so I kinda forgot if it was an option for other Roms. Well Im glad this is now possible, as I do like changing my lockscreen image! Thanks
Not working with MetaMorph, unfortunately .
However I just decomplied the framework-res.apk and did it manually . Kudos to you for the xml file .

facepalm bro. Dude, TripNMiui has a custom thing that does not require you to use metamorph if you want a custom lockscreen... look under your wallpaper .
Menu > Wallpaper > Lockscreen Wallpaper .
Good luck .
@bleached45
nice find!
but wht abt the size of the text / location of text on lock screen? can that be changed too? that would be useful...
Hey guys,
would somebody be kind enough to tell me how to change the 5 buttons in the pulldown bar please?
I changed them in my UOT theme, but still the original ones keep showing.
Thnx a lot.
Cheers

The only thing I know is yo modify your SystemUI.apk with apk manager . I don't know the exact steps .
Sent from my Ultima Weapon using XDA App
Yup, you'll have to find and replace the image files. Contact Seilent or search for the tutorial in section "Android Themes"
OK thnx you guys. Gonna do some more searching.
You have to do this manually. Open your systemui.apk with winrar. Open drawable-mdpi and you will find your current pulldown menu buttons. Just replace these files with what you like and also make sure that file names match.
Hey SGAce, i perfectly didnt understand your question. Do you just want to change the icons pngs or do you want to change their functions itself? Changing icons png has been expained before by other users but if you want to change functions of these, its a tedious job with editing xmls and resources and etc. It is a lot better to wait for the nightlies of CM7 lol
THNX y'all,
i did it, i managed to change the button png's. Afterall it was a STUPID and unnesessary question, coz i did this with a few other apk's before
Sorry, this thread can be closed.
Cheers.
just use 7-zip

sorry if this was discussed before, don't find something...
I made a transparent notification bar with UOT.
so, when I turn my phone on lockscreen, its transparent, unlocked its not transparent. when I open a app, its transparent too.
so I think, launcher pro have on the homescreen a "own" notification bar. on lockscreen and on apps it takes the sense bar.
I tried go launcher, same there.
any ideas?
running high rom 3D, 2.3.4, HTC evo 3D.

Its not the launcher that supports transparency. Its your rom. U gotta decompile, recompile your systemui after you've edited the smali inside.
U can find a lot of threads regarding this in the themes section.

No, he means he has a transparent themed rom already but Launcher Pro makes the status bar solid.(Transparency works fine in other launchers)
I have the same problem, it's a known issue in LP. I was looking for some info on it when I came across this thread.
So far, the live wallpaper fix mentioned above is all I can find as far as a workaround, but there's got to be some kind of fix other than that,right?

if you want to get original xperia icons
you may use the xperia arc theme from market...
and about editing the theme
first get root explorer
now with the help of root explorer open the theme apk (dont click on install)
now you will see some folders
different icons and backgrounds may be found in the "res" folder..
do not forget to press thanks if i helped
yes and the system and A-theme may be found in system/apps
you may edit them from there....

Nice Nice. Waiting for a download link. Nguyenxuanhoa is one of the best MOD ever, occasionally he is a lazy man.
was wallpaper scrolling enabled here? anyways, thanks for your great work sir, keep it up
Good luck with the ROM mate. 2 things. You have said 2.4 Camera when I think it is 4.2 camera. And secondly
ATTENTION TO ALL USING MULTI SCREEN WINDOW
Do you love multi screen windows but hate that stupid tab on the left hand side of your homescreen? Well, I just worked out a very fast and simple way to disable and enable this multi screen tab without having to disable the mod at all and without having to go in to any menus or settings to do it.
How? Make sure you already have the multi window box ticked in Settings>Display! Now "While on your homescreen" hold the capacitive back button down and then tap the capacitive menu button without releasing the back button. This will make the tab disappear (Not disable the feature). Repeat these steps to bring back the main multi screen bar, click on the home screen to minimise the multi screen bar back to a "tab"
EDIT* Looks like this works by simply hold the back button rather than tapping menu button too.
Developers might want to add this to their OP or FAQ!
I hope this helps somebody as picky as me
*If this fails to work for you, my setup below*
Nova Launcher
Omega 16.1
Green Circle Battery which can be found here

Hi,
You can do a little thing...using root explorer copy SystemUI from preload/symlink to yur PC.
Then with winrar or 7zip (i use winrar) extract drawable-hdpi from SystemUI, and search for the 2 icons that you see on statusbar.
Then using Gimp or photoshop, just erase the icon, (not the transparency) and set his size to 1 pixel.
You'll have a transparent icon with 1 pixel size. Copy it back to drawable-hdpi and rebuild using winrar or 7zip, and copy to your phone.
With root-explorer copy again to preload/symlink, and give appropriate permissions.
Reboot, and your icons will be gone...
Don't remove them from SystemUI...you'll lose systemUI...
