HI!

I got the hero with Android 1.5 and i want to change my default SMS application. m new application have a blacklist feature so I can ignore some messages. but when I receive a sms, both the default sms and my new sms application are giving a notification. is there a way to disable the default one? :thinking:
 
I've been told that removing the default app would stop you receiving any text messages. It's easy to disable notifications for the default app though. Just open it up, press menu, click settings, and untick the 'Notifications' option (3rd from bottom).

Then, apart from the icon in the menu, you won't see the default app again.
