[MOD][JB] Xperia Go transparent lockscreen - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

I've tried to mod the lockscreen to be transparent. However i noticed that it is only possible if i mod both the lockscreen and the theme files as each theme had its own lockscreen wallpaper. Attached here are the lockscreen and the purple theme which i've modded. do it at your own risk
1. backup
2. download both the UxpNxtLockScreen.apk and PurpleTheme.apk
3. place them in system/app folder overwriting the existing one by using root browser
4. change the permission of both files to rw-r-r
5. reboot

I forgot from where did i get the transparent default_wallpaper.png, thx to the person who provide it. If u wanna use it on another theme, then replace the lockscreen wallpaper in that particular theme with the transparent default_wallpaper.png by yourself. I'm making this for my own use and for those who need it. If anyone found my thread similar to any other thread, then report it. Good luck.

Getting rid of the annoying 'dark screen' overlay
If you get annoyed by the screen suddenly darkening upon touch, you can disable it by decompiling classes.dex, opening smali/com/sonymobile/lockscreen/widget/blindslayout/StaticBlindsSettings.smali and going to the following block:
Code:
# virtual methods
.method public getBackgroundLayerColor()I
.locals 1
.prologue
.line 95
[B][COLOR="#ff8040"]const/high16 v0, -0x6100[/COLOR][/B]
return v0
.end method
Change it to become (change colored in green):
Code:
# virtual methods
.method public getBackgroundLayerColor()I
.locals 1
.prologue
.line 95
[B][COLOR="SeaGreen"]const v0, 0x0[/COLOR][/B]
return v0
.end method
Then recompile classes.dex, copy it back inside the same zip (and obviously install it back into /system/app/) and restart your phone. I learnt that the hard way and wasted a couple of hours wondering why nothing was happening.
I've attached two screenshots to show the difference (please excuse the differing blind pane sizes and the red fps counter in the right image, I had made some additional tweaks and enabled the lockscreen's debugging mode at the time). The one on the left is before, the one on the right is after.
Although it still has a darker tint than the actual wallpaper behind the lockscreen, I feel the tint is necessary to emphasize the fact that there is a lock screen in place (not to mention the strange visual anomalies that appear with 100% transparent panes, you can already see some if you look carefully).
