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 ?

@EarlZ
You can try this tool

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...

Thanks, but i must find help on the Signing and Installing of the other .apks
Don't sign. After compiling I delete both the Meta folder and the Google XML and replace with ones from original apk. The Google XML is probably unnecessary but I do it anyway.

As an UN-experienced dev, I am attempting to theme a stock rom that has already been rooted, de-odexed and zipaligned.
other that theming non-stock launchers, is there a way to install a theme chooser compatible with cm10 and aosp themes?
Thanks

As long as the assets are compatible (have to check drawable-hdpi in each apk) then you should be able to simply push a new SystemUI.apk to /system/app/ I made my own theme for the first ICS release by DMan, and pushed it through ADB and it works fine.
If there are assets missing, or not set up right (EX: missing .9 patches) it could bootloop or cause your SystemUI to crash. So backup before testing, obviously.

So I might get lucky by just pushing systemui.apk from cm9 or cm10?
My goal is to be able to use a theme like cobalt blue for cm10 on a stock rooted rom!

No sir. CM themes use different assets, you'd have to manually mix and match the proper assets to the drawable-hdpi folder of the stock ROM.

Its likely not booting due to missing assets. Almost every ROM has different SystemUI/Framework assets. Example, the theme elements in Cyan10 are vastly different than any of our stock roms.
If you want to convert a theme from another phone, it can be done. But its not as simple as just pasting the corresponding apk in. It depends on othee things as well... The glide's main theme file is SystemUI.apk, whereas some phones use Framework-res.apk so there is also that to consider.
Converting themes from another device, you'll have to go in to the theme you want to convert, and match the files up to the theme you're replacing. You'll have to change file names and make sure no files are missing, also make sure you're only using HDPI themes.

My problem why I can't past on system/app is that it says theres no room on the disk, while i already delete over 20mb in apps there. So something is wrong and I would like some1 to help me...
Hey guys, so i really hate touchwiz and there's no ROM for A5 so i just wanted to edit some things in SystemUI.apk (i did this editing before and i was successful) but after upgrading to lollipop everytime i change every single thing in the apk after rebooting i get "unfortunately SystemUI has stopped" and the only thing i can do is to delete it from system and replace it with the stock one and reboot.

Resolusltion not solution! And I did it as I messaged you. Changing resolution of the files, put them in the right folder (A5 was xhdpi) And compress them to apk again And put it in the system And finally reboot
