Well guys....after a week with the sktools installed, I noticed one day day that the time was wrong. I unlocked it and it changed from central to mountain time again.
So I guess the problem wasn't with me...its the phone. My phone is flashed to cricket so maybe it is getting a signal from the carrier to change the time. It is not the Rom because it has done this with others too and it is not just my diamond...it does this on my wife's phone too.
oh well...I tried.
