Hello,
I search a soft to replace "alarm's soft" included by default in WM6.
I want to configure more than only 1 alarm.
Have you a solution for that ?
Thanks.
And sorry for my poor english.
There's loads of different utilities available, but here's a couple you might want to look into....
1. PhoneAlarmSP from PocketMax software - see here
2. John Cody's Alerts from Omnisoft - see here
You can search the forums for other options, and I'm sure other forum members will chip in with their recommendations
Cheers, Mark.
1.Chronos for Smartphones - here
2.Oxios Alarms - here
3.CityTime Alarms - here
Ouah, 5 softs !
Who is the better ?
Do you use all of thems ???
Sorry for my porr english.
I am using Chronos
If you want a freeware then you can try Schedy Mobile - here
I use and love CitiTime Alarms. The alarm settings are very flexible and works flawlessly. It also has stopwatch and timer, which is quite handy.
The only other alarm soft i've used is GenTimer, and am very disappointed with it. With all the bells and whistles in that app, it was extremely resource intensive, and buggy.
I love Gentimer from Rivia, you can set a "gentle" alarm, which rings a couple minutes before the actual alarm, just choose something nice and you will wake up without the usual shock It also has a clock, world time, stopwatch and timers!
does shcedy mobile have to be running in order for it to play the alarm?
I will try Schedy Mobile, it's freeware.
Thanks a lot.
Hello.
Some time ago I have developed alarm clock application. It's been on market for a couple of months. Just thought I share info with You .
I know that there are lots of alarm clocks on market - made another one but this one is like small reminder app. Alarms are grouped in categories. I think I has all things You might want from alarm clock. Still under development - updates ~weekly.

Application is available on AndroidMarket - Caynax Alarm Clock.
There might be problem with Nexus One - hopefully fixed in next version.
Version 2.3 was released:
NEW: new application icon
NEW: added application support for Android: 3.0, 3.1, 3.2
IMPROVEMENT: added option to backup/restore application settings (alarms default settings)
OTHER: new settings in hourly chime, small improvements and fixes
If You have any ideas for new functions or improvements let me know.
Small update was released:
NEW: Android default light skin
IMPROVEMENT: added option to choose between old/new alarm window dialog layout
IMPROVEMENT: added option to vibrate in hourly chime
Hi,
Nice looking GUI... downloaded all 3 apps from you.
Although Hourly chime force closes for me on MIUI US I try the alarm. I like the look.
And anyway... the app works blazingly fast... settings pages open like thunder.
Widget is also a good simple look, I use it without background
We will see how alarm works
Thank you for your contribution.
Widget and hourly chime came from alarm clock - just when You don't need one.
Check hourly chime in alarm clock - I have changed one thing that might caused problems on some phones when reading ringtones data.
I will implement that also on standalone hourly chime in next release.
It might take some time but maybe later I will put app skins as plugins - less apk size and probably RAM used.
It might take more RAM than other apps but it does not mean it consumes more CPU (battery). Unfortunately some people might think like that so that I will have to work to decrease RAM usage - ie. introducing skins as plugins.

Thanks for fast reply... I uninstall the widget then.
No sense about resource demand.. i just installed in 30 mins... we will see.
Thank you
EDIT:
There is no clock widget in alarm so installed clock widget again.
Could not set clock widget in alarm widget... and I do not need alarm widget on home.
Hello. Another version:
NEW: added Deutsch (de) translation (by Nikolai Grube)
NEW: added option to set hourly chime at :30
NEW: added option to dismiss alarm by long click
IMPROVEMENT: 'Increasing ringtone' can increase up to set alarm length value (1 minute max so far)
IMPROVEMENT: updated italiano (it) translation
@.dredd. - There is widget in alarm clock but You would like to have only digital clock (3x1/4x1) without alarms list (that is 4x2)? If so I'll add them in next release.
I'm also thinking to place language resources as downloadable plugin. That would result in at least 300kB less in apk size. The same could be done with skins. I've got to do some tests will it be efficient.
Chime issues
I really like the alarm app. I was getting very tired of the ridiculous snooze options in some others (HUGE snooze buttons, auto snooze as soon as the phone gets moved, etc...). I am having one problem so far tho (I downloaded version 2.3.2 today to my droid x). When I assigned a sound to the hourly chime I almost always heard a hiccup when previewing the sound clip. By hiccup I mean that the clip started and played for < 1 sec then started again from the beginning and played all the way thru. When the chime goes off every hour it does the same thing. I don't notice it on the default "Droid" tone but maybe there is enough silence at the beginning that the problem isn't noticeable? The option to move to SD card is disabled so I am assuming that you have defaulted it to install on the phone, so that should rule out that as an issue. Also, I am not sure what volume level the clips are associated with (doesn't seem to be tied to media or ), but they play very loud.
P.S. - I can see that the clips are sorting by type (alert/ringtone/notification/etc) but then I am not sure what the sort is. Seems like an alpha sort on name would be nice, either by type then name, or even just by name.
P.P.S. - The time bar seems like overkill and doesn't seem to track with the sound clip well. The play/pause button seems sufficient and you could get more names on the screen at once.
Hello.
As You might have noticed You can choose any sound from Your phone that last up to 15 seconds. Let's say that there can be two types of sounds:
1. not repeated - lasts 4 seconds and ends
2. repeated ogg files that when looped sounds really well - problem with them is I have to define how long they are and manually stop them - or they won't stop and loop all the time . So such sounds sometimes may seem cut and not play till the end. I've got email from one user to add to app some old clock sounds - classic chimes. Ie. one at 1am, five at 5pm. I'll added them later. Got to find (already one provided) some free sources so there won't be problem with copyrights etc.
About moving app to sdCard. You can't (shuldn't) move apps to sdcard whet it uses Android AlarmManager service (it does ) and contains widgets (it does) - that's how Android works. They simply won't work (especially widgets after phone restart) or won't work properly.
Volume associated with chimes (and alarms) is of type ALARM - so that it could play when phone is in silent mode (if set). You can set volume in settings and test that change playing ringtone in ringtone control.
ad ps1-2 Ok. I think that sorting them alphabetically would be nice - would like to do better ringtone control - but there is always something with highest priority :|. I would like to move translations to language packs and do the same with application skins (less apk size and even less ram usage). Also add option to save alarms list to xml file - that's the highest priority. Got more ideas about app . But there is always something that goes before.

I wasn't suggesting that I should be able to, or wanted to move the app to the SD card. I was only trying to say that it appeared that the app was NOT installed on the SD card, so that probably was not the cause of the issue I was seeing with the chimes.

The loud volume I was referring to was the volume at which the sound clips played within the app when selecting one to associate to the chime, not the volume at which the clip played when the chime was triggered. I played with various volume levels (media/alarm) and then tried selecting different sounds in the app to associate to the chime and the volume the sound clip played at did not seem to change.
While we are talking about it, if the chime volume is tied to the system alarm volume, how does the chime volume % work? If I set it to 10% and the system alarm volume is set to 50%, does that mean that the chime volume will come out at 10% of 50% = 5% of max volume?

I wasn't aware that a sound file could be self repeating, or maybe I am not understanding what you are saying. My understanding is that any sound file is of finite length. I would not expect a chime to repeat, although I suppose that could be an option in the app (play sound N number of times). When previewing sound clips in an app I would not expect ANY looping, just one pass thru the file and stop. I would expect an alarm (I have not experimented with the alarms in your app yet so I am just stating expectations here...) to play until I acknowledge it somehow. If I don't acknowledge it before the alarm sound completes playing, I would expect it to play again from the beginning after a certain time period (a few seconds maybe), and continue replaying until the alarm is acknowledged or some other application time out is reached.
Can you please help me better understand how looping/repeating sounds applies with regard to chimes in your app?
Thank you very much for your prompt response by the way, wasn't really expecting that...
Hello.
First about volume. As I've mentioned it uses ALARM type volume. When chime first starts it remembers ALARM volume value that was previously set. Then it sets it to its max value. Now that volume is set to MAX a percentage value from MAX value is calculated. So settings in alarm are independent - does not depend from system settings. When chime ends playing it gets back to previously saved value. But... It checks before whether someone (some other app) haven't changed that setting when sound was playing. If not it gets back to previous value - otherwise it does nothing.
About that looping thing. System Media Player plays sound. It don't know if I remember well (wrote that long time ago) but there might have been bug in Android. Each media played has a setting whether it should loop a sound. Unfortunately when media type is "Ogg file" it simply doesn't work (bug??). Although sound is set not to repeat it still repeats. In alarm clock solution is simple. When user press "Dismiss"/"Snooze" button I simply stop MediaPlayer(Service). With ogg files first I check how long that sound is. Then when that time elapses I close (stop) MediaPlayer(service).
Hope I explained well
Hello.
I have release version 2.4.1:
NEW: application supports external translations as language pack
NEW: Caynax Alarm Clock can be set as default alarm clock
FIX: When screen got unlocked there was widget time value update lag
FIX: 'Any alarm' decreased alarm hour by one when because new winter time
BUG: when logging operations was enabled and user entered alarm settings
As said before application doesn't have built-in plugins == less apk size ;].
You can download plugins from Android Market.
Work with translations as plugins was some kind of test. Now the same will be done with application skins == less apk size and later new skins to download.
In version 2.5 I have added option to save alarms list to xml file so You don't have define them again after app reinstall.

Hi, I have rooted my galaxy s2 plus (the NON NFC one). I am a noob when it comes to android.
How do I remove the tons of unnecessary apps like
chat on, group play , samsung link, samsung apps, Splanner , drop box, G+ messenger, S susggest, (is S voice useful? if not then Svoice) google + , game hub ,
Please also suggest me:
A simple yet powerful file viewer.
A working call screen (where you don't have to slide to pick a call, just two buttons are shown one for picking, other rejecting)
Customized or customizeable lock screen.
But most importantly
A good alarm (which auto snoozes and rings unless either you wake up or shut it off)
A Good calender,-i mean i have to add an alarm for every remainder! and cant google just develop a simple damn remainder, which auto snoozes and buzzes after 5 minutes ? DAMN NOKIA HAS BEEN MAKING ONE LIKE THAT SINCE 2002!
I use Root Explorer on file exploring and my alarm app is Sleep as Android
To remove unnecessary apps, you need to root, install Titanium Backup, and either freeze those apps / uninstall them.
For file viewer, I normally use Astro File Manager or Root Explorer.
Sorry, no suggestion for call screen or alarm.
If you were referring to have alarm feature in calendar, GTasks works well for me.
You set up a task on specific date, set a reminder, then tadaa!
(However, it's not as 'alarm' as normal alarm. It's just a reminder and notification when you turned your screen on. In my opinion, MissedIt! and GTask is a great reminder combo that I've been using for long.)
Kitchen Timer Pro is a reliable kitchen reminder ideal for kitchen cooking timers like boil egg timer, tea timer, food timer, blinds timer etc.
Kitchen Timer with alarm is simple timer app, The fine cooking timer app with multi timer - adjustable stop clock features for your smart kitchen.
It shows the timer controls on the lockscreen notification, so even phone is locked you can snooze - cancel - stop the timer from lockscreen itself.
It lets you set time reminder to all of your kitchen appliances on your smart kitchen.
Kitchen Timer Pro Features:
Simple easy professional UI Interface (Its best among the available Kitchen timer apps on playstore, try it out)
Two touch timer, Just Set duration and start and that's it!
It works in background, which means that you can start the countdown and close the app, it will still ring when the time is up.
It vibrates and it makes a sound when time is up, with notification you can quickly snooze for more time or stop the timer.
How to use it:(You can also find help and tips in app)
1) Set the Timer Duration: Tap on default duration shown and set the timer duration you want. then click on start icon to start the countdown.
Cancel the Timer: Tap on the Stop icon and the ongoing countdown will stop.
Pause for a while: Tap on the pause icon and you can resume it later.
Snooze, i need more time: once time is up, it will show you option to snooze, if you tap on it, you will see predefined snooze minutes to snooze the timer.
Saving my settings: Create new dishes and specify the timer duration, you can use it later to start the timer quickly.
Kitchen timer pro is really simple.
You can set the timers faster on Kitchen timer pro than any of the other apps out there. also you can save timers that you often use.
There are default dishes available for you with timer duration, so you can just quickly choose one instead of having to set the time.
You can create many more such dishes with timer duration you want,
and later you can use it for quick timer. It will continue to ring until you stop or snooze it.
it keeps track of the time that a countdown is exceeded. If you need to keep the steak on for another minute, just snooze it for a minute more. you can configure default snooze times in settings.
No silly mechanical wheel or dial simulations that just slow the interface down.
Favorite timer app. Extremely simple and intuitive.
You can create dishes and give them name and timer durations, so if you always like to make hard-boiled eggs for exactly 6 minutes, that’s no problem for Kitchen Timer Pro. Also, you can set Kitchen Timer for much longer intervals.
it provides multiple alarms before the timer runs out. This means you can set it even for a time-sensitive kitchen task, walk away from the stove, and rest assured it will call you back with time to spare before the moment of truth (also known as the moment you take the noodles off the fire).
If you like the app, Please review and rate app on playstore to encourage us to enhance the app.
Merry Christmas and Best Wishes for a Happy New Year !

It's really slick. One thing missing is a widget so the timers can be quickly set from the home screen, but otherwise I think it might become my goto timer.

If you leave the alarm sound to default you can change the sound of all the timers through the system settings. You can change the default type of sound (e.g. notification, media, etc.) from the navigation drawer which can be opened by swiping in the app from the left.
New update. Now with an improved dark theme.
