Go on Youtube and search how to jailbreak your Touch. Make sure you include your firmware version in the search so you don't get the wrong jailbreak. Once you have it jailbroken, you can customize it all. One of my friends has it tap to unlock and I have seen something like shake to unlock.

It's pretty neat, but I prefer just keeping it how it is.
