Thanks that helped.

Just in case anyone else is interested in future;
to change the default "Please enter lock code" message.

Copy /usr/share/locale/*YOURLANGUAGE/LC_MESSAGES/osso-system-lock.mo osso-system-lock.mo to your computer

Make sure you have gettext and poedit installed on your computer.

Convert the .mo to a .po with:
$: msgunfmt osso-system-lock.po > 2osso-system-lock.mo

Edit the file with poedit. Hitting 'save' will automatically compile a new .mo file, copy that back to your phone replacing the original.

i want the entire lock code screen to be replaced. It's awful in both portrait and landscape mode. Not responsive.

Also is there a way to default the lock code screen in portrait or landscape to avoid orientation?
