First, go Settings < Apps < Manage < Handcent SMS < Clear defaults

Second, go to a contact, and send them a text, making Handcent the default action.

Finally, go into the stock app, and disable notifications.

go into stock app uncheck notifications, that will get rid of 2x notifications
then go to settings>applications>menu>filter>all then scroll to messaging, tap it, and then clear defalts, then when u click on one of the apps it should ask u if you want to set a defalt.

Heh, you got 2 responses that told you exactly what to do, if you can't follow directions maybe it's you that is useless...

Don't click messaging... click Handcent. By clicking messaging, you are opening the native messaging app. Take it off your home screen completely and put Handcent up there.
