4 Lockscreens for SGS tried but failed

Hi,
I kno I've posted this in Q&A but maybe there is one super developer who can help the community getting there 4 lockscreens?!
Currently there only exist two types of lockscreen for the sgs i9000. AOSP or samsung glass.
For the Vibrant on the other hand, some people (untermensch ) have managed to get 4 lockscreen types:
AOSP lockscreen
Glass lockscreen
Puzzle lockscreen
Epic lockscreen
More info in this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838260
It must definitly be possible to port this to a froyo rom on our SGS but it has taken me a lot of time allready and have not progressed one bit.
Frustrating indeed.
I managed to decompile the android.policy.jar using the command: java -jar baksmali.jar -x android.policy.jar -o android.policy
I added the epic classes from the source zip file in the earlier mentioned post.
I recompiled ((java -jar smali.jar android.policy -o classes.dex) it again and at least no errors at this stage.
Next I tried to decompile the framework-res.apk.
Got errors from apktool, saying that it can't decompile a nine patch image. The nine patch image does not contain a nine patch chunk (so not really a nine patch but png with .0.png extension?)
Tried a lot of things, options, google, this forum but failed to find a solution.
The same thing with the Settings.apk, same kind of error, no solution.
I must be doing something wrong here and have come to a point that I cant figure it out anymore.
I believe that a lot of people would be interested in this kind of thing and this is something achievable.
If somebody could take a shot at this modification please, it would be so awesome to have this for Darkys rom or Docrom v9.
ps.i do remember that some id's of resources need to change cause there are some duplicates somewhere but don't remember which one where.

The source codes that untenmensch provided contain all the information. Though haven't tried it, but it is comprehensive enough.
Try using apk manager to decompile the framework-res.apk, and you use baksmali and smali for the settings apk.
Use stock apk, instead of modded ones.

to decompile framework-res use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745189
I use it for my personal rom and works better.
apktool or apkmanager don't work better with samsung framework-res,because Samsung don't respect the standard image and there are a lot of errors that can you correct using draw9patch from SDK,but in this way must edit all pngs...and they are a lot.

Virtuous Ten Studio [Perfect apk,jar editor]

We all at least most of us edit and play with apk's and jar files...so i found the past days a great and i mean GREAT way to edit those files..the app you can used called Virtuous Ten Studio and is developed by Diamondback this app is a great editor for apk's...i just play with it right now to just for curiocity add the navigation bars like the thread by Rittik said...i just open the framework-res.apk to this application it decompiled it i edit what i have with the easy of a explorer...compiled it without any problems by itself and poof...ready to use...great app you who edit apk's should really look at it...the link to the app is here
[IDE] Virtuous Ten Studio - The next level of reverse engineering apps | 2.2.11.8210

Run on Windows only :crying:

Totally perfect i am uaing aince release. Plus if on windows 7 you can reopn kernels and edit some stuffs like boot logo and some scripts without installing the long procedure of Dxdia+cygwin..so its a win win software pretty nice for begginers who are having a problem decompiling and recompiling apk
Just a notice. Please dont try recompiling SystemUI with this..it doesnt recompile the smali correctly which makes the apk corrupt so for that please use apktool

Twlauncher and frameworks from the i9000 and then decompile and recompile them so that the signature is correct for our device @broodplank1337

umh...
- step1: decopiled i9000 TouchWiz30Launcher.apk using apktool and i9000 framework-res.apk
- step2: decopiled i9001 TouchWiz30Launcher.apk using apktool and i9001 framework-res.apk
- step3: compiled i9000 TouchWiz30Launcher.apk using apktool and i9001 framework-res.apk
- step4: copied AndroidManifest.xml,resources.arsc and META-INF folder in modded APK
... but i does not works... what I'm done wrong or what I missing?

I dont know. Ive tried it myself but failed aswell. Perhaps a question for him or another dev

OK...
I've found where I was wrong: the resources.arsc file should not be replaced after the mod...
not easy such things for a near to 40 years old man...
by the way, I just remembered that Samsung has released a 2.3.6 version with fixed touchwiz: the KPC

I think you don't have to port the apps because both phones have the same resolution.
