handcent sms noob

Open the "Messages" app (the included SMS app) and get into it's settings menu. Un-check "Notifications" and then back out. Open Handcent and then it's settings menu also. Make sure that "Notifications" here is checked.

Now, I'd suggest that you delete the "Messages" icon and add the icon for Handcent instead. As for full-screen, it doesn't look like Handcent offers that. I added the Handcent widget but it only adds an icon, not what I'd call a "widget".
