Extract /system/framework/framework-res.apk from your ROM. Decompile framework-res.apk with apktool. Edit /res/layout/keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml. Edit each TextView line that you want to center. Replace android:layout_marginLeft/Right=?? with android:layout_centerInParent="true". Compile modified framework-res with apktool. Sign and push to phone.

Bump

[Guest KonstaT]

Error message says that you have a duplicate attribute. You can't have something centered and aligned from left/right at the same time. You need to replace android:layout_marginLeft="??dip" or android:layout_marginRight="??dip" with android:layout_centerInParent="true" on every line you want to center.

No problems with SS RLS4b framework-res.apk.

[Guest karololszak]

If you want to change that in

the framework is from "update-cm-7.2.0-RC0-Blade-KANG-20FEB-v1-BurgerZ "

there's no need to edit the apk - you can do it from under CyanogenMod settings! I'm translating from Polish, but it should be something like Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> Lock screen -> Widget settings (the second option in the menu) -> Placement of widgets (second option again, under it it says something about clock, date, network, status) and there you can choose it to be default, hidden or centered.

That's why we love CyanogenMod - there is an option for almost everything ;)
