Default [Q] Uninstalling HTC Sence Lock Screen

How do I go about doing this... my wildfire is already root'd with the puzzle ROM... but I want to get rid of the default lock screen for good...

Any help would be appreciated.

That won't remove the lockscreen, it will remove the Sense launcher.

You could remove HtcLockScreen.apk from /system/app, but you'd be left without a lockscreen as there are no others on the phone. Try lockscreen replacement apps on the market

yea,got that, but what seems to happen is the default lockscreen is shown first before the replacement pops up.

Im borrowing your topic a little;

The Lock 2.0 app on the market does not support our screen, right?

I have widget locker but the problem is if I wake it up quickly after it has gone to sleep (and sometime even if I leave it a while) it shows the home and the default lock screen before the wigetlocker lock screen.
