You can't do that without porting the entire SystemUI.

Do you mean Stericson's lockscreen? If it's in a theme then really you'd have to ask the theme developer because Stericon's lock screen is tied in to services.jar, framework-res ect. So if you overwrite with the original files you'll loose all the graphical mods in those files.

Hi there!
I created for myself an custom animation pack and I though I could share it, maybe there is someone interested in some aesthetically tweaks.
This update is also changing the battery icon with gingerbread % version.
Animations are selected by me from more than one standard pack, so here is the list:
ICS animations for open/close_exit_activity;
Blur animation for open menu;
Bounce animation for dialog_exit
Flip animation for toast_exit
Flying animations for toast_enter and open/close_enter_activity
Rudolf animation for lock_screen
Be aware that some launchers are using its own animations so, if you want to see all of this modifications, you should try it on stock launcher.
Make a backup first!
Copy the update.zip on the root of sdcard and apply it through cwm with "apply update from sdcard" option.
Some notices:
I'm not a dev, I just like to modify things and I'm self learning from different sources.
I have GT-S6500D device with Gingerbred 2.3.6 and mk-14's root method - cwm 5.0.2.8.
This update is only changing \system\framework\framework-res.apk file.
Use this at your own risk!

I am 90% sure they will, why don't you install them and test, and let us know the results

Just did, they work. But there are bugs, such as when adding a new contact, the header is still white, and within the contacts app some boxes are black when they shouldn't be.
It would be great if this were to be ported to the T. We would have another dark styled rom for locked/unlocked bootloader.
EDIT: Good news everyone! Niaboc, the creator of the ROM is porting it over to the T

[Q] Anyway to remove lockscreen's "Swipe to unlock"

Hi, on 4.1 the swipe to unlock text only was shown a few times after turning on the device, now in 4.3 is permanent, there is anyway to remove it?
Without root on Xperia V, if only can be removed with root tell me anyway, thanks :good:

I think i saw this in some Xperia-related Xposed module. I can't find it new coz i'm on Omni. I think... I'm not sure again!
Settings/security/screen lock, choose none and then install some locker from Play Store (ie Holo Locker).
It's not possible to get rid of that text I think.. You would have to decompile the lockscreen apk and either change the color of the text to transparent or replace the related string..
But without root, you won't be able to install your modified app.
Thus, it's not possible. :/

Thanks, I going to root it soon, but I'll wait to get a 4.3 "definitive" firmware or an easy rooting method that don't need to reflash the firmware, just bored of formating so many times and if I have to do it I would prefer it to be the last one
(Sorry if my English is confusing ^^")

I can understand you.. Lost root and recovery on 4.3 recently and ended up in a bootloop. Lost all data, had to restore via Flashtool.. :/
Hopefully we will soon be able to root our devices more easily. ^^

decompile the lockscreen.apk
there is a definition for the unlock hint in inte....xml
i did this long time ago so i cant remember its exact name
Okay, XV rooted, i'm gonna try to decompile and remove it.
Im not a dev so I dont really know how, just gonna try and see what happens
Well, just not as easy as i think, decompiled, modified the swype to unlock text (in english and spanish) and recompiled, installed in System/app and the lockscreen seems to be between the AOSP and Xperia Lockscreen, with the unlock circle of AOSP and clock/widgets of xperia, but im not able to apply a lockscreen wallpaper from gallery or screen settings so i will keep the original lockscreen till i find a way to make it work

Did you sign your recompiled apk?

if the XT lockscreen apk will work on the XV, then you can grab that from some custom rom. for example my nonami rom has hidden "swipe to unlock" text and also i changed the blinds affected by touch.
cheers

No since I read that System Apps should not be signed... I'm wrong?

Gonna try that or the Xposed module, thanks
System apps so have to be signed. I guess that's the reason it didn't work for you.
The only problem with this signing stuff is that you might need super user mod to make the apk install.
