I think that most of the skill unlocks are kind of bad. So i wonder witch once you would change and if you know, what would you change them to?

I don't think the unlocks themselves are bad. I think the bigger problem is that you have to wait too long in order to use them.
I've integrated skill unlocks extensively in my homebrew campaign, giving Rogues full access, with Investigators and my homemade Vigilante getting bonus choices among a few specific options (Sense Motive and Disable Device as Investigator examples, Climb and Acrobatics as Vigilante examples). For those classes, instead of giving access at 5/10/15/20 ranks, I do 3/5/7/10 ranks.
For anyone else simply taking a Signature Skill, the progression is 3/7/10/14.
Even the most powerful signature skills compare poorly to a 5th level spell. With that in mind, I see no problem giving people full access by level 10 if you are supposed to be good at it.
I changed it up a bit. I give everyone skill unlocks for all skills at 5, 10, 15 and 20. If you spend a feat, or have Rogues edge, your progression moves forward by 5 levels, 1, 5, 10 and 15.
Doesn't seem broken.

and you have the option to take the premaded version, or just create your own skill unlock (we write every single skill unlock for future characters).
Skill unlocks aren´t a bad idea, just i rather the skill tricks instead. They have a feeling of achievement.

Right now in my games all players get 1 at level one and you can't get more if your not a rogue.
I want them to be strong and compere to spells in power level. A thing that can make a rogue better at skills then a wizard is when he try to solve skill challenges.

But mostly flavor or dip for something else (one for survival was tracking with smell for a human race)
muhc like specialties in world of darkness
- Surgery, hipnotism, authopsies for Heal skill
- diverse metalurgy styles (like in skyrim) with Craft Blaksmith (craft blaksmith is one skill that we create and actualy works :3)
Insight to see the occult things like in Cthulhu with Perception and things like that, not so cheessy not so over powered.
