It looks similar to the O2-Battery-Plugin of XDA mini, but without the remaining load of backup-battery. In consideration of the weak average batteryperformance, this plugin does not poll if you dont want it. The powermanager (on his way) pops in when something regarding the battery has changed and notifies (us) the plugin ... Similar to the batteryload is the implementation of the mobile operator name, which is notified by the notification broker of WM5. Hence the code of this plugin is only touched when there is a need to do this.

With great help of some users of xda-developers.com, there are more functions provided by HomeScreen PlusPlus. It can show you incoming and outgoing calltimes for daily and monthly use as well as incoming and outgoing summed up. Btw. the reading shows D:... for daily calltimes and M:... for monthly calltimes.

Furthermore it can count incoming and outgoing sms for monthly use and show the actual cpuspeed as well as the bluetooth status (on/off). HomeScreen PlusPlus can also log (write into a file) the date, time, duration and callnumber of incoming and outgoing calls and sms to an xml-file.

There are also indicators which needs to poll periodically and can be activated/deactivated by show or hide them. These indicators are actual signal strength of phone modul, free momory for program-storage and sd-card, free memory for data (program-usage) and batterydrain in mA or mW.

You can start CommManager of prophet by tap on the mobile operator name text or terminate CommManager by tap and hold on the mobile operator name. CommManager is the default program to start, but you can provide another app in the options.
