Apps Root, ROM or Widget?

I have a Samsung Captivate I just upgraded to Froyo 2.2. I really like the Samsung lockscreen with puzzle piece's for email notification etc..., but I also like to pin protect the phone also. I can't use both features together, it's an either/or. I haven't found any utility that works this way with puzzle notification, slide to unlock and then pin to verify, so I'm looking to do something on my own. I dowloaded the source code for my device, but don't know where to look or keywords to use. Lock, screen, lockscreen, unlock list numerous files, but nothing seems to associate to what I'm thinking I need.

What is the best approach to something like this? Easier to root and modify system, do something to ROM (same as root?) or create a lockscreen widget? I thought if I had source code then it might be easier to tie the 2 options for locking the screen together, but could you just do it with a widget by copying and combining the source?

Thanx - Dean
 
OK, I have a copy of the Samsung source code. Surprisingly from their own site, but I can't find any info on the lockscreen. Any help out here?
