So, I'm new to WiMo and I just got an HD2 this last week. I've been looking around and I couldn't find a way to do this so I thought I'd ask.
I want to add more than 3 alarms to for my phone, and I want the app linked to the button on the Home Page (the little alarm button) So if it can be done with a reg edit and work with the stock alarm that would be the best solution, but if I have to use a custom app, I'd like to access the app by pressing the button on the home screen.
Is there any way to do this?
thanks

I use g-alarm which is a great alarm app alternative. It writes "ghost" alarm entries in the default windows alarm setup so they appear on your home screen. You can have more than 3 (not sure how many though) I also use cookies home tab mod which allows (among other great things) for me to assign the alarm icon to open up g-alarm.

Same here...I found a few super annoying mp3's to add to the mix.
ive been to g-alarm site. does g-alarm allow for diffrent alarm tones for each alarm? is there an alarm app that will let you chose which alarm sound you want for each alarm?
thanks
So there's no way to add more windows alarms without using any 3rd party applications?
I would really like to keep using the default alarm, but with more than 3 alarms..

I imagine it should be possible. Looking at the registry, it should be possible to add more via registry. The only thing that I can see keeping that from working is a mode9 or lua limitation.
Of course... Windows Mobile also could be restricting this from being possible as all the Sense UI really does is overlay the Windows Mobile alarm system.
Yeah, I was searching the registry for anything about the number of alarms, and as of now, nothing....
I actually gave up and downloaded KLAXON off of OpenMarket. It's free and works great. Plus with CHTEditor, i was able to use it as the default alarm AND it even shows me what time the next alarm will go off on the home screen. That was the biggest reason for wanting the stock alarm.
I'd give KLAXON a try, since it's freer, and it has a built in alarm sound that is one of the most annoying alarm sounds I've ever hear. Even annoying enough to get the Mrs. up at 6:00 am
ok, i am really hard at waking up.. when i was on CM the rooster sound actually woke me up... probably because it scared me.. however, im on fresh now and do not have that sound so need something else
anyway.. I am looking for an alarm clock pay or free that works well.. i am thinking that the ability to play my own mp3s would be best..
any suggestions?
thanks
wakevoice is pretty cool!!!
talks to you too lol

If you download Zedge you can choose from a ton of ringtones and use the stock Alarm Clock on Fresh
I'm running Fresh with the Vanilla lockscreen so I had to search for another alarm app. I downloaded Alarm Klock and have been loving it. Found a nice/loud/annoying tone to wake me up each morning. Works better than my real alarm clock. HTH
I use Alarm Master. Got it from some torrent. It works pretty well. You can basically set anything you could ever possibly want. Since I have to wake up at a different time every other day its nice to have options. U can easily select your own MP3s for any day/alarm u set. I think they give u a free trial on the market..
will try Alarm Klock tonight.. see how that goes..
thanks for all the choices.. will try each of them
i use alarm clock plus. works nicely with fresh/vanilla lock screen
ok, i really like alarm klock..
got up after hitting snooze 3 times but it was nice.. i just gotta get my ass out of bed.. lol
thanks again
hi guys. Is there an alarm clock like the one that the iphone has where you have the timer, alarm, and stopwatch alltogether in one application? I tried searching the market but i couldn't find something similar. Thanks!
I think "alarm clock extreme' is the one I use - it's pretty good, I think it does everything you're looking for.

Just downloaded... well it doesn't have a stopwatch, but it does have a timer, so it is an upgrade over what i currently have thanks
cheers, sorry I didn't have my phone near me or I would have confirmed what the app offered. Let me know if you find anything you like better.
I had totally forgot to post this here...
Here's my latest app (after a 2 years pause.. I'm not a fulltime developer, nope), created off my own needs but I guess there's plenty of people out there that could make use of it
AlarMe is, indeed, an alarm, but it's also weather-based
Let me explain: if you, like me, would rather ride your bike to work instead of that boring car, at least when it's sunny, why would you wake up 15 minutes earlier than you should just because you have to account for the traffic jam you'd be stuck in if you were driving a 4 wheels vehicle or, worse, why should your alarm ring at the same time whether you had to take any mean of public tranportation instead of your own?
Another scenario: let's suppose you usually have to wake up at 7:30 to go to work, that's because your commute takes 15 minutes on a clear sky day
Your default alarm would ring, indeed, at 7:30 but today is a rainy day, and now your commute is up to, probably, twice the time.. and you're late for work
Enter AlarMe
You can now create personalized weather rules for each and every alarm
Default time could be the aforementioned 7:30 but then you'll add a rule that makes the alarm go off at 7:10 if it rains, 7:00 in case of storm, perhaps even 7:45 if it's sunny cause you'll just ride your awesome bike that zips through traffic!
Features:
- the alarm, of course
- up to 6 different weather rules: clear, foggy, cloudy, stormy, rainy, snowy
- full holo UI with a flippable cards layout for the alarm list (everything works on 2.2 devices as well)
- 24 hours / AM-PM and Fahrenheit / Celsius visualization options
- 2 different weather providers (so far)
- Notifications to view/dismiss snoozed alarms
- More stuff such as automatic / manual location and customizable alarm / snooze durations
- MP3 ringtones
Coming soon:
- Bugfixes (can never have enough of those)
- Skip the alarm if a certain weather condition is met (rather than just setting a different time.. you don't want to go jogging if it rains, right?)
Coming sometime in the future
- NFC support to dismiss the alarm by touching a tag
- Maybe traffic info / estimated commute time, someone already asked for it so I'll give it a try
Download
The app is already up on the Play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mdk.smartalarm
Expect frequents updates, usually once a week

Be Patience. There are millions of alarm apps out there. XDA is one of the best place to get great feedback. Patience is key to success
BTW, I've downloaded the app. I'll test it and share my feedback here tomorrow.

Or, perhaps, nobody woke up due to my app failing.. though I surely hope not!

Please, do let me know about any bug you encounter and, of course, I'd love some feedback about the general look & feel of the app, that's what betas are for
Version 0.99 is up, featuring notifications for snoozed alarms and the ability to cancel them with a tap, plus more bugfixes
Please let me have some feedback about this update
I got two alarm with one normal notifications and one with the weather on it.. but ill try the new version now
Sent from my GT-I8160 using XDA Premium HD app
I just published a quick fix for a notification bug, disregard notifications appearing when you're dismissing the alarm until you upgrade to the latest version (up in a few hours)
Did anyone have any problems with alarms not working? Any missed alarms at all?
Perhaps it's ready to leave te beta stage?
I haven't had any issues. Though I don't use this to the fullest. X3 I just use it for a simple alarm clock as it is the nicest looking one I've found so far. <3

You've made a great app, but I think the target audience is smaller than you'd think.
Do you think you could make an option to delay the alarm if it is a snow day? It won't be for a long time and this will only be for people in school, but it would be a really nice feature.
Also is there any possibility of creating dismiss options like solving math problems etc.?

The delay in case of snow is actually what the app does... you can set any weather rule to either delay or anticipate the alarm, just choose a default time then set the alarm for a couple of hours later in case of snow
The math solving could be added in, yes, as well as NFC reading, once all the basic functions are working properly, thus leaving the beta stage
Installed it and uninstalled it when I noticed it will quit working after three days. I'd hate to be late to work because it expired.
I've been using xtreme alarm clock pro for two years and it would be hard to replace it. Its so stable and rock solid.

I'm always releasing an update before the trial period is over, I just added that to prevent the beta version from leaking around once the full version is released, and also to make sure people are running the latest version instead of an old bugged one (and then leaving comments about my app not working)
Xtreme alarm clock doesn't look so nice, UI-wise, and it missed the main feature of my app of course, but hey, I know not everyone is going to use mine as main alarm
Also, being in beta stage, I recommend not using my app as your main and only alarm app just yet, I'd appreciate it if you tried it alongside XAC just to see if it works fine
This day, i dont think the app ring.. maybe my father turned it off first or is this the app fault?
Turn out to be my dad turning it off already
I would like to have a swipe to dismiss alarm.. like when you want a one time alarm you could just swipe to dismiss it

★ Simulate the sunrise in your bedroom with your favorite color.
★ Decremental snooze interval.
★ Widget with list of active alarms.

★ Customizable background image.
You can contact me by email if you want to ask for new features or anything.
I am looking forward to hearing from your comments,
Fran.
No one is interested?
i tried it
first, fantastic work on this app. it's clean, it's RICH in features and options. it really can cater to all kinds of sleepy heads !
if I could formulate one criticism: the font used for the clock itself, showing the time and the countdown is very different from the app's alarm font itself, and doesn't look very "alarm clock"-ish. I think it would probably benefit from being a little different, more in the clock styles. (Or given the many options you have, maybe allow for selection of the fonts for the clock!)

Thanks for your opinion, I am working on the fonts right now because some users think like you [emoji6]
Fantastic so far. Well done. My favorite is the mini game and the material design.
Looks nice.
I looked through the options menu, and I cannot seem to find a way to disable the alarm clock icon in the status bar. Did I miss something? All of the other alarm apps I have tried have this. I always have alarms set, so I don't need it taking up room on my status bar telling me that I have it on 24/7.

Hi,
This preference is at the bottom of the settings. It is called "active notification". There is three options and you can select none to remove completely. The one hour before notification is very useful to skip the alarm if you are already awake [emoji6]
Thanks,
Fran.
I set it to none last night, have an alarm set for 8:00, and the notification just reappeared at 7:00.

In my S5 works well. Could you try with the "Always when an alarm is active" option? Then check if a active notification is shown always.
Then set to "None" again and add an alarm for one hour and a minute from now and check again if the notification appears after a minute. If it does, it doesn't work in your phone.
Please, let me know what's your phone if you don't mind.
Thanks a lot!!
Fran.
Thank your for this great alarm app!
I really like your app because of its rich customization.
I especially like your "simulated sunrise" feature, because I am that type of person that gets up with light or brightness rather than sounds.
Would it be possible to add a pre-alarm "simulated sunrise", e.g. 30 mins before the alarm rings the display brightness slowly increases?
I charge my phone during the night, so battery consumption is not an issue for me.
I would really appreciate such a feature as it's pretty unique in the alarm app market.

Thanks @DeVisible. The pre-alarm is something I have had in mind since almost the beginning, but it is something I have to do it as well as possible and because of this I've never seen the moment to start implementing this feature. However I will try to do it for the next version

I will try that later today.
I had a hard time shutting my alarm off this morning. I had it set to draw a triangle, and I had to draw a triangle 3 times to get it to go off. My wife was watching me do it too, and confirmed that I was drawing triangles. I will let you know if I have the same issue tomorrow.

It is true, I need to make it easy to solved. Thanks for your comments.
Is there any way to make it so that I can name the alarms so that when they go off I know why they are going off?
I have been using Alarmdroid for years, but their newest update broke some things for me and I would love to switch to a new one. To get this app to be my daily alarm app, I need a way to name alarms, as I usually have 5-10 alarms always set for different things.

I tried to do this, I set an alarm for 2:42pm at 1:41pm, and I had it set to always show active. I then set it to none, and it stays there.

Perhaps Android back compatibility could be lower. Do you plan this in the future?
