Is there a 4 lock screens with a stock theme

I cant seem to find a way to get the 4 lock screens on just a standard theme, its kinda bothering me why nobody made one for the stock theme..

I guess this is impossible to have with the stock SGS theme.

Im starting to understand why there is no 4 lock screen for the stock theme, its not that is hard to make or anything infact the theme template for the 4 lock screen starts with a stock template then is modified.
Reason I think why nobody ever made a stock theme with 4 lock screens is that a lot of people what to use 4 lock screens and just stay with the standard theme this will make a lot of users abandon their current theme infavor of a stock theme with 4 lock screens, smart way of having people use a theme though.

Do it yourself
Take
android.policy.jar
framework.jar
framework-res.apk
Settings.apk
twframework-res.apk
from a theme with 4 lockscreens.
You can take the files out of this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844514
it's not that heavily modified and works quite well with stock images.
Open framework-res.apk and replace the files inside res/drawable-hdpi(-v4) with files from the stock theme. Do the same for twframework-res.apk.
Build an update.zip and install.
There might be a few xml changes to do, but it will be very, very stock already...

Thanks but Im afraid I dont have time to mess around and learn with it, you might be able to do for us here at XDA?

It's just copy&paste.
No hard things to do...
You need
7-zip
framework-res.apk (modded and stock)
twframework-res.apk (modded and stock)
1.
Open stock framework-res.apk with 7-zip and go to res/drawable-hdpi.
Open modded framework-res.apk with 7-zip and go to res/drawable-hdpi(-v4).
Mark all files in stock framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi and copy over to modded framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi(-v4). Drag&drop.
2.
Open stock twframework-res.apk with 7-zip and go to res/drawable-hdpi.
Open modded twframework-res.apk with 7-zip and go to res/drawable-hdpi(-v4).
Mark all files in stock twframework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi and copy over to modded twframework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi(-v4). Drag&drop.
That's all.
The other files (android.policy.jar, framework.jar, Settings.apk) don't have to be modified.

If I copy over the contents of the modded framework HDPI to the original frame work wont it look like the modded frame work instead?
So the andriod.policy / framework.jar / settings.apk are the core files to have the 4 screens working and not really the framework-res.apk ?

Apart from the other changes, we will need to modify the settings APK...
this is because we want to see the option of selecting one of teh four lockscreens in the settings...
apart from this, the drawable-hdpi folder just has the icons, to add the functionality, we need to modify the classes.dex file which is within the jar file...
not such an easy task for someone new to modding...

I have zero experience with theme modding, Im only a kernel/rom flasher and Im pretty good at it ( who isnt ? )
Im currently using a theme, the only one I like that gives the Ginger look w/o the extra bells and whistles of changed icons ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=873825 )
Maybe someone can be so kind enough to add the 4 lock screen there ?

Edit:
@EarlZ
You can try this tool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737526

Lets see if I got this
the 4 lock screen is dependent on the following files
android.policy.jar
framework.jar
Settings.apk
and the UI looks depends on these:
twframework-res.apk
framework-res.apk
So basically I can use any 4 lock screen theme and just overwrite it with the stock twframework and framework on it ?
EDIT:
By just replacing the twframework-res and framework-res the phone is not usable, it does boot and when the home screen loads it vibrates and goes into a endless reloading loop if ever you get a chance to go to the settings to choose the lock screen when you lock then unlock the device theres no lock screen visible.

When you want the clean gingerbread look you should take a 4 lockscreen theme that has these black menu background (when you hit menu-softkey) as your base.
Here are some

Just a few examples, there are more...
I mentioned it before:
There might be some xml edits that have to be done (colors for texts etc.), but the icons will be stock...

Change Status Bar png

I'm looking to change the png of the status bar(which hold the clock/running apps, running service), however I can't seem to locate the files for it.
I've done it before but forgot, it's located somewhere in systemui or framework-res, but can't recall the name.

I am also interested in changing the transparency in the notification bar in CM9. As far as i read you have to pull SystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk from your phone, decompile it, change code then push it back in phone. I don't really know how to work with ApkTool so if anyone has an easier method for the uneducated, i will be very grateful.

[Q] SystemUI apk problem

Hi everyone,
I'm using the deodexed 4.2.1 rom on My Galaxy Nexus with a custom SystemUI.apk that works (it doesn't make notification and navigation bar disappear) taken from this thread.
I successful replaced unwanted image files in the apk with 7zip and now I'm trying to change the clock color in the taskbar.
I do the following things, in order:
1. Decompile apk with apktools
2. Change values of color in the proper xmls
3. Recompile apk
4. Replace SystemUI with the new one
5. Clean Cache/Dalvik and reboot
After that notification and navigation bar disappear. Am i missing something?
Help please! D':

Hey mate!!!!!
You must sign apk with signapk everytime you make changes into an apk.
http://code.google.com/p/dex2jar/ in dex2jar you will find d2j-apk-sign.sh/bat script
Seems that i told you bull**** coz systemUI never have to be signed...

So, restoring old "stock" SystemUI.apk you get phone working well again?

[Q] Replace icons?

Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to replace the system icons (phone, contacts, Play Store) in Deviant Wicked v10 with the system icons from Deviant Domination v1 and if it is possible, how would it be done.
Thanks in Advance.

Its very possible.. You can do it by extracting the icon.png from the res folder within the apks you want the icon from, and then use a launcher like nova to replace the icons in the drawer or desktop using the PNG you extracted.. That is the easy way.
If you wanna use the touchwiz launcher, you have to extract the icon.png from the apk you want the icon from, decompile the apk you want to use, replace the icon.png to the one you want (the one you extracted), compile the apk, and then push it to system/app.. I think there's special things you gotta do to get the phone, contacts and play store to compile and launch correctly though, I never messed with them much

Thank you for your help. I Found the play store icon. it's in the Phonesky.apk. extracted it from Domination, replaced it in Wicked but when I tried to copy the apk back to the phone, it gives an error and wont allow the copy.

Did you decompile, replace icons and recompile it?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk

I used WinRAR to unzip it, replaced the icon, zipped back then renamed it.

[Q] Decompiling and building SystemUI.apk

Okay, so I am trying to get the navbar working on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Pretty much, I have a feeling that SystemUI is missing the icons for the navbar, which causes it to crash when the build.prop has the line "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0". The SystemUI has all the other files that were required for the S4 sysui mod, except for the icons. Being a noob at this, I went ahead and tried to add the icons, but my apk resulted in "System UI has stopped.".
So I decided maybe I am doing something wrong. So with Android Multitool for windows, I installed framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk, and twframework-res.apk. Next I select the SystemUI.apk for decompiling, and decompile it. Then I simply select the decompiled directory (didn't modify anything!), and recompile it. I then open the new SystemUI.apk in 7z and add the META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml from the old SystemUI.apk. I then select the newly compiled SystemUI.apk for signing, then I sign it.
This is just decompiling, then building the same thing without modifications. SystemUI.apk before decompiling is 2.7 MB, the newly compiled one is only 2 MB! Something is missing out of the new one, but when I compare them in 7z, the only thing I can see that is different is the packed size; whereas the old one has files and folders that take up more space packed than the new one.
When I try doing this with just apktool and cmd, I get java errors like crazy, and the whole SystemUI.apk ends up only half decompiling.
Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Your best bet would be to copy the log to pastebin, and post it in the apktool support thread. Get more views there for sure. Which version of apktool are you using? Can you decompile and recompile anything? Also, if you want post your systemui up and i could see if I can get it to work, narrow it down to a problem on your end that way.

This is my first time doing this, so of course I make a noob mistake! I thought I had to sign ALL apks, but this is a SYSTEM app, and I don't sign it. All is well! Thanks for the reply. I also updated my apktool to 1.5.2, so that may have helped too.

all you have to do is add a + before the @ sign in the line that is giving you errors....umm depending if it is xml errors....
post the errors.....

You don't need to sign it? I have also this problem. It gives me error that SystemUI has stopped.
