[App] [2.2+] AlarMe (formerly known as Smart Alarm) - Holo alarm with a twist

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

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.

Thank you, it's just that I've seen threads about... er... "less useful" apps getting dozens of views and replies so I was wondering what was wrong with my topic

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

Up?

This app looks like a really good idea, I'm gonna try it out.

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

Dark theme would be nice indeed, where is the sensor location on the phone ?

Temperature and humidity sensor is just next to the large physical home button in galaxy s4. I will sure implement dark theme in coming week.

Off to a great start!!!
The idea is superb!
So far the app looks simple enough, haven't had any problems/bugs, so far.
What I really like, is that the app actually shows the ambient humidity, haven't seen that in any other apps so far!!
Are there any settings to be found? Am I just blind or there really isn't none?
Would be nice to choose what to show on graphs and what values to show at all.
Also: I'm seeing three temperatures, one in Celsius, on in Farenheit and another one in Celsius. The bigger (font) Celsius (on the left) seems to correspond to my room temperature, but the other one is ~8-9 degrees lower and doesn't seem to fixed with the room temperature. What is the other Celsius supposed to show? It's too low for battery and I don't have any other ideas.
A dark theme is definitely on the top end of my list, as I'm in love with the gorgeous amoled of our S4's!
What I'd like at some point is a way to send data to tasker, especially if you plan to get all the sensors working, then a plugin with tasker would make the userbase of the app even bigger, as tasker doesn't show anything special from S4 yet (I saw from tasker's homepage that the temperature variable is coming in an update, but that's all for now), no barometer, hygrometer and so on info.
A widget would be nice too, but I would like the tasker plugin more, as I like to create my widgets with UCCW.
Anyways, you're off to a great start! I'm going to be checking in on this thread regularly!
Thanks for your great idea and app,
Taavo

splash screen implemented for my sponsers
changed y-axis font size
few optimizations implemented
changed font sizes for C & F

installed app is perfect for me, i travel a lot and i dont trust weather sites or channels played with it a lot, havent seen any issues. Got a question though, is it possible to get wind reading or need a special tool for it? tnx
P.S. Wind direction, elevation with medium font for easy to see, i used your app to get quick measurements to shoot ))))))))))))

Wind measurement is not possible using build in sensors of s4. i hope it will be available soon.
Implementation is possible, but it needs gps and readings taken from 3rd party site. anyhow i will check it out when i am free.
* working items
settings page to customize most of things
Centigrade value for due point
Freeze button to stop changing readings for few seconds (in future, i plan to use this button add the freeze values into database and you can export it to excel or something...)
you can expect next update on monday.

for due point do you mean dew point?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium

Works great, thanks.
But I didn't find how to change the main temperature to °C (to choose between °F and °C would be better).
And a 3 digit precision in temperature decimals is illusory : even professional thermometers have a 1-digit precision only.

yes, its dew point. sorry for that.

Looking and working nice.
+1 for dark theme
And i think it will be better if you can choose betwen F and C.
Thanks.

Hm, any info about battery drain? I think that app use media services and drain is huge. After uninstall app media services stop working in deep sleep. With battery stats i see sensors-media services. Strange

i used only Sensor.TYPE_AMBIENT_TEMPERATURE in previous versions. so its not related to media services.
so far there is only two problems i think,
1 problem may be related to multiple running of instances. i will implement a previous instance check when launching app and auto kill or popup previous instance instead of starting another instance .
2 problem may related to the scheduled timer. i will try some other battery efficient way.
use exit button to completely close the application instead of android sleep.
if any other users feel battery drain, pls let me know.
inmeanwhile i uploaded next version with AirView support & C & F switching

S4 Thermometer v1.5 AdFree
Airview support removed again due to lack of api and crashes occurs in some phones. however still working on this feature somehow and plan to include in future version with better features on hover.
I finished the adaptive advertisement testing and now i removed the advertisements as promised.
new updates
* advertisements removed
* airview removed temporarily
* minor optimizations
* fixed alignment problems for some phones.
upcoming features.
* calibrate temperature
* temperature log
* export log to excel (With calibrated as well as without calibrated values)

Unique app, extremely simple and it works!! Great job buddy!

the battery drain looks fine to me, havent noticed anything

Does this app have a widget?
Sent from Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk 2

Nice app! I would like to see an option that shows only Celsius or Fahrenheit in the graph. Furthermore, a dark theme would be really appreciated (I guess I'm not the only one who likes to have that). And the last thing: make the exit pop-up dialog (and maybe button too) more holo-ish. You've done a very good job with this app.

nice!

[APP][2.1+] Shake Me Up Alarm Clock

Hi everybody!
I created an app that aims to help people who are "immune" to normal alarm apps, get out of bed more effectively.
(For example, normal alarm apps don't work too well for me, as I just keep spamming the snooze button and find myself waking up an hour later )
The app doesn't let you snooze, and instead of just pressing a button to stop the alarm, you have to keep shaking the phone (to fill a meter) to stop the alarm.
I tried to make the app design as clean as possible, with a google now card layout, so no fancy stuff here :fingers-crossed:
Here's the play store link: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mlhg.shakemeup
The app is free and adfree, if you find the app helpful, it would be great if you could leave a rating! Thanks

Thanks for the support! But what do you mean by "shake vigorously before sleeping again"?

Amazing idea to shake the phone until you fill a meter to turn off the alarm!
I did a quick review about it here:

No. I read some quote the other day from a developer of one of the apps (can't remember which) and he said Sony hasn't given access to this, so ATM they can't make apps that show this. Sony has to grant that "permission" first.

I'll like it too!
That will be so simple, please add this feature!!

Not so simple I suspect.
Since the app code is running on the phone, and only displaying on the watch, it has no idea what the battery voltage on the watch is. It can easily see things on the phone though.

But the watch shows the % for example in low battery warning (15% or 10%). Just show it continuously on the bar

you can try this for flashing dot...( don't expect it will serve the purpose of an actual LED notification not sure why google got rid of it... meh )

paid version - if you think the free version gives you the comfort then... mostly you can add more apps to be included in notification

I don't get this as well! Thx for the hint. Will have a look.

It works alright, but coming out of the notification screen can be a bit glitchy. Also, after a few seconds the screen dims and the notification light can be a little hard to see.

Also I find the payed version quite expensive - but overall it seems to be what I was looking for.

Apps like these keep your phone awake and drain the battery. Just use the Pixel Pulse app in the mods and themes sub forum.

If you use AOD it is awake. This app is using that. If you turned AOD then yes, battery. I am most disappointed by glitches when I try to open the phone.

I'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing. The AOD function is not the same as what most 3rd party apps use to keep the phone awake.

Pixel pulse, is the way to go, and the customized colors makes it even better at 2 AM work email notifications, so i know wtf i need to fix in the morning hahahaha
