Hope this isn't a double post.... I would like to change the lockscreen image to something other than the background of the phone. Maybe through editing the .xml file on the phone? etc. Anyone know of how to do this?
PS... PLEASSEEEEE don't reply with anything about widgetlocker. I know it exists I know it can do this but and I am not trying to nor do I want to use it for various reasons ...
Thanks in Advance.

Here your are
had a little trouble with this, but here's a full guide that worked for me "tools used apk manager 4.9"
using the apk manager
1. pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk (option 0)
2. Decompile apk (option 9)
3. add your pic to drawable-mdpi (must be a .png) eg. lockscreen_background.png
4. open the file res\layout\keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml with notepad, and find the line
<RelativeLayout android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:id="@id/root" android:background="#70000000" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
change to
<RelativeLayout android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:id="@id/root" android:background="@drawable/lockscreen_background" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
5. compile the apk (option 9)
(when recompile do)
5.1. Hit yes to "system app".
5.2. Hit yes to restoring the files:
6. -Open the "keep" folder and delete resources.arsc and res\layout\keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml
7. when done rename unsignedframework-res.apk to framework-res.apk and put it back to /system/framework/ again (i did this in recovery)
Done
Awesome... Thanks.. Did you try this on the Droid X?
or can you change the lockscreen background to a dedicated image through ninjamorph? anyone have a quick tut on how to do this with a droid x?

Yo Guys,I am here with a guide of adding Owner Pic in About Phone.I saw some guides which weren't noob friendly lots of codes were to be added and even smalis
I have made this guide as easy as possible also you don't have to do any work with smalis and you can easily do it on phone
REQUIREMENTS
-ApkTool(Not in a mood of giving you guide for decompiling/recompiling)
-Any text editor(NotePad++,920TextEditor or any other,ur choice)
STEP 1
Decompile your Settings.apk found in /system/app/*here
STEP 2
Go to Settings_src/res/xml/device_info_settings.xml and add the below line above first <PreferenceScreen and below xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
Code:
<PreferenceCategory android:layout="@layout/dpxd" />
STEP 3
Extract Guide-OwnerPic-SamarthXD.zip in the RESOURCES DOWNLOAD part below and copy-paste dpxd.xml in Settings_src/res/layout/*here and displaypic.png in Settings_src/res/drawable-*dpi/*here
One more thing people ask is what shud be the resolution of the pic for that just take screenshot of your phone and get its dimension for example SGYD screenshot dimension is 320X240 then there pic size should be 160X240 just take half the height of ur device and full breadth
STEP 4
Recompile and sign, don't get your phone messed up
In this guide you can add the Pic but it won't be changeable If you would want to change you'll hav to decompile Settings again (No smalis,remember XD)

there is no difference between stock firmware and deodexed firmware, but if you use stock firmware, you will not be able to install the modifications, the modifications can only be installed if you use deodexed firmware

Deodexed installed on a specific firmware version, cannot be installed on any version of stock firmware,you can choose BTU stock firmware or INS + deodexed BTU or INS
Odex
In Android file system, applications come in packages with the extension .apk.
These application packages, or APK contain certain .odex files whose supposed function is to save space.
These ‘odex’ files are actually collections of parts of an application that are optimized before booting.
Doing so speeds up the boot process, as it preloads part of an application.
On the other hand, it also makes hacking those applications difficult because a part of the coding has already been extracted to another location before execution.
Deodexed
Deodexed is basically repackaging of these APKs in a certain way, such that they are reassembled into classes.dex files.
By doing that, all pieces of an application package are put together back in one place, thus eliminating the worry of a modified APK conflicting with some separate odexed parts.
