Hi everyone!

My first thread in this wonderful XDA community! Let me start by thanking everyone for being so great! Not only are the custom ROMs/apps/themes for my Elfin and Diamond are amazing, but the support and kindness of everyone here is AWSOMER! I get warm fuzzies when I visit these forums! :)

Ok I digress! So My first question: does anyone know of a good application that monitors data usage, minute usage (supporting free weekends and evenings, and my10 free calls), txt messaging, etc?

I used Phone Dashboard on the Elfin but with no Today screen since I use manilla, a today screen utility is useless :(! As far as I know SPB wireless monitor is pretty powerful for data monitoring, but as of yet I cannot find an easy (LCMinutes scares me!), powerful and all inclusive program to make sure I stay in the confines of my plans preventing overage charges!

Any help would be appreciated, and though it is no easy undertaking I am sure, I think a lot of people would benefit from a Phone Dashboard type app that works on the HTC devices and they would of course support the developer for their efforts! I'd way rather give me money to the devs here than to the greedy wireless operators!

SPB wireless monitor is amazing for data tracking with good breakdowns of usage, and reminders. and very simple to use

for minute tracking you might want to just try google
i'm sure theirs something out there

Yeah Wireless Monitor is perfect for data! I agree

But I have searched for months now and can't find anything, through google or otherwise for a good app that tracks voice usage.

LCMinutes had hope but it requires Microsoft NET CF 2.0 which causes Manilla to crash since CF 3.5 is already installed. So that's a no go!

Dashboard was amazing for the Elfin but only works as a home screen plugin so it is a no go with TF3D.

Pocketbill didn't work reliably

Smaatocost has dead download links and is nonexistent it seems.

So i was wondering if someone from XDA has a solution or could come up with an easy one. My ideal app would be one that could accomodate free evenings and weekends, and free calls to my10 (certain numbers are always free). I have searched all over the place and come up short so I could really use the community's help. Am I correct that there is nothing that will work with the Diamond? Someone please prove me wrong!

Thanks in advance!
