I have a problem and a general question.

First the question: is there anyway to make it so that the stock messaging notification (also missed calls) doesn't show up? I am using Nils and it works great for everything except for messaging and missed calls. Whenever I get a message it lays over top of the Nils widget and covers it. I would like for the notifications to come solely through Nils.

My problem: I cannot for the life of me get my messaging the make notification sounds. It worked fine until I got Nils. Then it sort worked on and of until now it has stopped completely. I assume that it is some sort of issue between the stock messaging notification and Nils. I have checked all of the different settings for messaging notification sounds ([Settings>Sound] [Messaging>Settings]) and both have the correct sounds file selected.
