I have created a Puzzel Alarm which should help me to get out of bed.
When an alarm goes of the snooze or dismiss button are easily pressed.
So I wanted to make an application that shows a puzzel before the
alarm can be dismissed. I'm still working on it, but some more info
and an installable version can be found in this post on my site
http://goo.gl/5YnIy There are also some screenshots. Can I ask some of
you to test the application and give some problems, remarks,
(performance) tips, ... to make my application better?
Hopefully the concept is already nice and could it be useful for more of you guys
The alarm I use has a 5x5 or 6x6 (forget which) pattern of dots and it randomly picks 3 or more dots and you must do the same within a period of time or you can't disable the alarm..
And the alarm works flawlessly, never a fault, works great, just a few bucks in the market.
Just saying..
Thx for the information. But as a developer it's always useful to learn more and this time I want to learn Android and Java.
So tips, remarks, comments are always welcome! I don't want to earn money with it
Somebody who knows how I can show the snooze and puzzle screen directly without first unlocking the phone? The platform where it is designed for is Android 1.6.
I already read that it's possible when I should make/port it to Android 2.1 or higher but with my X10 I'm still on 1.6 and want to be able to use it
Puzzel alarm 1.0
Finally version 1.0 is ready and can be found at this link.
All remarks, tips, problems/errors, ... are welcome!
Hello,
I'm new here and I see a very smart guys around...I would like you to challange to give me some new, fresh ideas of apps/widgets. Doesn't matter how strage, crazy or funny is!
Can you do this?
Best regards
1) A srollable widget in witch you can place icons or other widgets so it acts like an app drawer
2) An app that can control an other android device like a remote control (already there for pc's). For axample: you can control your tablet that is connected to a tv.
As you said idea may sound crazy so would be great if you develop an app that cover the naked bodies when a porn website is opened on your device.

I don't think that would be possible with an application.
I think thats more of something that would need to be developed by the website owners.

You obviously know nothing of image recognition. That's actually quite a simple task, for a seasoned developer, using existing (and publicly available) libraries.
Maybe not actual clothing, but it could certainly cover nudity.
make a widget 1x1, 2x1, 4x1 size (or any suitable) that shows missed call count, unread sms and emails
should display something like:
(in 1 row) 2 calls, 1 sms, 2 emails
or
(in a column)
2 calls
1 sms
2 emails
or
instead of text, put small icons
then ability to hide if count is zero or change color if number is greater than zero.
don't forget to have ability to choose email inbox (if many are used)
for 2x1 widget, add ability to have battery percentage display and next alarm (this can easily fit if icons for missed, unread "stuff" is used)
The idea is to have a small, yet very informative widget that packs only important information: missed call, unread sms and email, battery level, next alarm. and ability to configure each information (color, position, icon, ability to hide)
I'm sure if this is implemented (or at least 50%), people will like it!
Nothing crazy but just a music control widget (► Play ▌▌ Pause ■ Stop) for google listen and maybe a universal control for whatever is playing at the moment.
Great!!! Keep it up!!!
Thank you guys!!! Very nice.
You are creative minds, more ideas, please, come on!!!
I would like to develop a very good application, original, useful and funny and can offer a prize (like money) for the best idea.
I think I can set up a "Top 20" Ideas and to the first 3 some to offer prizes.
What do you think?
Best regards

Interesting...
1. Do you mean a launcher? There are some very good launchers (LauncherPro).
2. Like an Android Remote Control (something like VNC or Remote Desktop)?

I have one, and that, is to create music controls from the notification bar. Not sure if it involves a widget ;/ but would be great if someone could make it possible.

Please please please please please make a Google Talk widget! Tons of people want this but it seems like no one is up for making a widget.
A good widget would maybe being able to view your messages or quickly reply to messages using the widget without launching gTalk itself.
Going further, maybe a better gTalk client in itself that allows for popup windows and quick replies. There are tons of apps/widgets like this for SMS, just wish gTalk got some love as it is used fairly widely.
I'd say it would be a surefire way to rake in some dough as there is absolutely no competition on the market. There is only client available is the official gTalk client (not counting multi-protocol IM clients) and only 1 gTalk widget on the market (status changer).
How about the ability to take a picture of documents with your camera and be able to use the data in excel. Sort of a text to column app using your camera. $$$
Hello everyone!
SC2M (Stay Close 2 Me) is an alarm app based on proximity using BT.
More info and screenshots can be found here.
Basically, this app fires an alarm when the selected BT device goes out of range.
This has many uses like preventing phone theft and monitoring another (your kid's, maybe)
BT device. The idea of this app came following an incidence in which I forgot my
phone at one of those security posts at the entrance of the mall. lucky for me the
lady behind me in line was honest enough to chase me and bring it back.
It's a good thing to have when you're out on a trip or in public places and afraid
to loose your phone.
It works on Android 2.0+ and requires your phone to be rooted. So, if you qualify
the requirements - give it a go! and leave feadback here. This version (attached) is
based on a trial valid for a week. Follow the link above for info on a special price
for XDA members.
Thanks!
Benny.
Added poll.
so how exactly does this work. will my bluetooth headset go off or what?
It works by monitoring the BT device you select. Once it goes out of range, an alarm will go off, notifying you that something's wrong. There's more info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=958827
I need this for windows mobile. Anyone seen it?
Can you write an inverse version of this? So everybody in a large office building can install it, and a bluetooth based alarm goes off on your phone if you are within 5-10m distance of someone else in the building - allowing easy maintenance of social distancing, even around corners and through walls?
[TUT] Tasker | The Ultimate (over-informative & annoying) Alarm Clock V3|With Snooze!
I had a look at the alarm clock on the Tasker wiki and decided to update it with screen actions for snooze. When I was done, I felt that something was missing... so I added a couple of things, then a few more and then a few more….
First install
Download the .zip file below.
In menu options/profile data 'Import One Task':

In menu options/profile data 'Import One Profile':
AlarmClock
In a file explorer, navigate to /sdcard/Tasker and within this folder, create the following three folders:
APOTD
NPOTD
NGPOTD
In Tasker, click ‘Tasks’ and select AlarmReset. Click on ‘Test’ within the task to set up the initial variables.
Select the task Alarm. Edit action #11 and choose the alarm sound you wish.
Turn your screen lock off and adjust your screen-time-out to 5 minutes (just for testing).
Make sure you have an active wifi (or mobile data, but profile is data intensive) connection.
Click on the time in the profile AlarmClock and press now, add one minute to each time, click done, click apply… and off we go...
Hit 'snooze' when each speech action has finished.

Should this alarm fail, not wake you up, you lose your job, followed by your house and wife, please note that compensation claims will only be payable by cheque and may take up to 400 years to process <- You know what I’m sayin
Theory
Q) Do you honestly think I’m ever going to use this? You seriously need to get out more.
A) Well maybe? I do!
I did give some thought to what I’d like to wake up to every morning, but unfortunately Tasker can’t perform that… So, I decided to go a little OTT and make this alarm useful for plenty of Tasker Tips and Tricks.
I separated out all of the tasks so you can easily see what I’ve done. They are then available for you to use or amalgamate into other profiles you have or wish to create. How nice am I…? Let’s take a look at them:
Alarm
This task is first to kick off and controls the flow of what Tasker is going to do. It starts by performing the task AlarmSnoozeMaths (we’ll look at this below) and then encounters its first IF check on the created variable %ALARMCOUNT. Every time you snooze the alarm clock it increases %ALARMCOUNT by 1. When the count is greater than 10, the alarm will stop activating.
As the task continues, it encounters more IF statements for %ALARMCOUNT and performs the action if the IF is true. This way, I was able to create different alarms for different ‘snooze times’. There are four custom speaking alarms and after that, it just plays your selected alarm ringtone.
AlarmSnoozeMaths
This task calculates what the time will be (to display on the screen) when you snooze for 10 minutes. %TIME + 0.10 would have been just so easy wouldn’t it..? But unfortunately when the time is 07:52, telling you your alarm was going to go off at 07:62 was just too untidy. Following the task through, you’ll see how I’ve split the variable %TIME by the ‘.’ and therefore had two variables ‘07’ and ‘52’. From there I add 10 to ‘52’ getting ‘62’. I say that IF it’s greater than 60, minus 60 from it; leaving ‘2’. I then say IF that number is less than 10, join it to ‘:0’, so we end up with ‘:02’. Simples.
The ‘07’ was easier to deal with. IF the above minutes had gone over 60, we would need to add ‘1’ to this number. IF that number was greater than 23, we’d change it to ‘00’.
All the split variables were then joined together and ended up with a more intelligent %STIME.
AlarmSnooze
This is a simple menu task that will pop up on the screen. Pressing one of the two choices will perform the associated tasks. The text you wish to display is in the label field. One performs the task AlarmSnoozeTime which handles the ‘snooze’ and the other performs AlarmReset, which is run when the alarm is turned off. EDIT - Forgot to mention, that if neither button is pressed after 2 minutes, it defaults to 'snooze'.
AlarmSnoozeTime
This firstly ‘shuts-up’ the speech or stops the music. Cancels the notifications and then patiently waits for 10 minutes (or your chosen snooze length) before kicking off the initial Alarm task again.
AlarmReset
Again, this silences and kills notifications before resetting and clearing variables, the most important of which is %ALARMCOUNT to 1, ready for next time it’s to be used. It turns your keyguard back on and stops. EDIT - VariableClear is added to this task by default in V2
AlarmUPSMaths
There is an inbuilt variable %UPS which is the time in seconds since you booted the device (uptime). In the AlarmInfo task, this information is used (amongst many other things!), but having it quote thousands of seconds was just too ugly and really pretty uninformative unless you are a maths genius and even then, first thing in the morning? So, I wanted to change this into hours and minutes. Following the task, you’ll see it starts by dividing %UPS by 3600 to convert it to hours. The result for example of 3.5 does not of course mean 3 hours and 50 minutes; wouldn’t that be easy..? No, the 0.5 = half = 30 minutes. So, by splitting the variable %UPS (which we transferred the created variable %UPMA originally for good house keeping) at the ‘.’ we can deal with the numbers behind the decimal places and convert them to minutes. If it was so simple to be 0.5, then multiplying that number by 60 would give us 30; wouldn’t that be simple..? In the event that it’s actually 0.521331232132131 we need to do something about the getting rid of the 30.121200234423823 (eg) – we do this by again splitting the variable and keeping only what was before decimal point (the whole minutes). Finally we are left with two created variables %UPHR and %UPMIN which are used in the AlarmInfo task for all but a second and therefore was a complete waste of my life – But hey, someone, somewhere, someday will read this when trying to do the same and hit the thanks meter!
AlarmInfo
The first of the information pulling tasks we will run. It grabs the text from the chosen URL in action #1 using an HTTP GET and then starts to extract what it needs – which in this case, is today’s weather forecast. If you’d like to see what information it initially collects and then follow how it’s split, add a file weather.txt under the ‘output file’ field which will store it on your storage card. The task then goes on to speak the weather to you, along with just about everything else that I could find in the Tasker variables for it to tell you! Annoying? Yeah, but that girl’s voice seriously gives me the horn… You? No? Oh...
AlarmMQoTD
Yes, what better to wake up to than a motivational quote!? I’m starting to realise that this profile is really going to make a difference in some of your lives... Ok, so another HTTP GET, followed by a lot of splitting to leave us just the Author and quote itself. This is spoken to you again shortly after by my girlfriend, erm, I mean the speech engine you use...
AlarmDayHoro
How could you possibly consider starting the day without knowing exactly what is going to happen to you by hearing your horoscope!? I know I couldn’t... Again, an HTTP GET, a lot of splitting and that’s what you’re left with.
AlarmNewsHeadlines
This task reads out the recipe of the day for you! Or alternatively, the news headlines as the title would suggest. HTTP GET, splitting, more splitting and job done.
AlarmAPOTD
Alarms are so visual aren’t they? How about some soothing wallpaper from NASA’s astronomy picture of the day – you can admire it whilst you press snooze... Another HTTP GET, but this time we are searching for the image source only and once we’ve dissected it, another HTTP GET grabs the image and Tasker updates your wallpaper with it.
AlarmNPOTD
Same as above, but just NASA’s picture of the day. WHOOP!
AlarmNGPOTD
Same again, but this time National Geographic. %WHOOP2!
AlarmNakedHotGirlOfTheDay
You wish... but if the thanks meter increases sufficiently, I’ll consider it for the next release
VariableClear
The above tasks import a lot of text from the HTTP GET commands. Splitting them increases the amount yet further. This task is not currently instructed to run within any of the other tasks, so either run it manually (open it and press test) or add a ‘perform task’ action into AlarmReset, so it sweeps up for you.
Note: This task is HUGE. Currently (and unfortunately) you cannot join all of the split data together and clear it in one action. I’ve been reliably informed that it will be in the next Tasker update (although that comes a little too late for the 1.5hrs it took me to enter it all manually!) Have you hit the thanks meter yet? Do it again... EDIT - Added to the AlarmReset task as standard in V2
AlarmHTTPCheck (added in V2)
Should part of a triggering task fail, Tasker is currently set up to cease further actions. Having an alarm based on the reliability of your data connectivity is never a good plan, so I had to resolve how to confirm if the HTTPGET had failed and consequently, so had the alarm. There is a built in variable %HTTPR which is the response code, but unfortunately it's not so simple to 'variable check' this in the next action - if the HTTPGET failed, then it would not go to the next action... This needs to be changed within Tasker, but in the mean time the solution was to trigger a separate task.
AlarmHTTPCheck is triggered before the HTTPGET and runs with a lower priority than the calling task to ensure the HTTPGET action is not delayed. It waits 3 seconds, before checking %HTTPR is either a value of 200 or 400 denoting success. The task will cease if this is the case. If it isn't, it will increase the value of %ALARMCOUNT to 5 (+1 will be added in the task Alarm) so all further HTTPGET alarm calls are skipped and only the alarm music is triggered. The disadvantage of this is having less snoozes, but if you are not woken up to your expected informative speech tasks, I'm sure even your sleepy self will realise something is amiss. Sorted?

Customisation
Time – Changed by clicking the profile
Alarm Sound – Changed in the task Alarm, action #11
Star Sign – Change the text gem-in-eye to whatever you want the speech to try and say in action #9 of AlarmDayHoro. Change your star sign in the HTTP GET action #1 in the URL. You will also need to change the sign=# in the splitter as it turns out that each horoscope has a different number too. I'll put a list up of them all shortly, but in the mean time you'll have to look at the URL in a browser and spot your number please - Credit torsrex
Weather – go to this link and type your location in the search box. Click on it and note the code/extension of your local weather station in the URL. Change this in the HTTP GET serverort field – mine is 03534. If you live in the US, you need to add in different information after auto/ical – the blog post #4 here gives you an example
Female – Feel free to rewrite the speech entries so they are flattering to a girl. Or alternatively, call me... and I’ll talk dirty to you, robot-style.
Snooze interval – Change the wait time in AlarmSnoozeTime to the snooze interval you wish. Change the value in AlarmSnoozeMaths, action #3 to display the correct 'snoozing-to-time'.
Pop-up Notifications - You can add your own background by clicking 'tools' in AlarmSnooze.

Bug/Issue Report
Keyguard/Lockscreen - The keyguard action set off (#3) in the task Alarm has been left in. You’ll need to add Keyguard, set on to action #7 in AlarmReset. Please let me know how your device handles this and what lock you use. I’ll see if I can put something in as standard.
Slow device/internet connection – I’m not sure how your device will handle the multiple HPPT GET actions and if consequently, this will delay other actions such as the %STIME maths.
No/failed data connection – SOLVED in V2
Yahoo News Headlines - Appear to have started adding 'non text' to their headlines since testing... damn.

FAQ
Q) I like parts of this alarm, but not all of it. How do I change it just to suit me?
A) Instructions are written for you here
Q) I'm using your data sync profiles, can I combine these to start and stop the data connection before and after this task?
A) Absolutely, you can activate the data connection and then use any of the variables such as %WIFIOC or %WIFIORS to turn it off again, or leave it as it was. You could even make it that you only use this alarm when you are at home IF %WIFIHOME = 2 (reading %WIFIPREF).
Q) Why do you always transfer the %HTTPD data straight into another created variable?
A) Within the tasks, %HTTPD is populated with various different data. Transferring the data out of it as quick as possible prevents it being overwritten by a following HTTPGET task. We don't have to apply wait actions this way or confirm that one %HTTPD task has completed before another is allowed to start.
Q) I have many other Tasker questions, can I post them here??
A) To avoid clutter, probably best to use this official Google group
Q) Where can I learn more about Tasker?
A) The manual and Profiles and step-throughs on the Tasker wiki and you’ll be up to speed in no time.

It would indeed! In answer to your question - yes! There is a variable randomize option which could be used in AlarmSnoozeMaths and then the same number in AlarmSnoozetime...
Tasker allows you to add variables so you could easily say %TIME + %RANDOMTIMEBETWEEN2AND10 = next alarm!
If it helps you get up in the morning, let us know and I'll put it in as standard!
I wish there was a stripped down version of this. I want the AlarmInfo task (which I can see has weather info and the usual text to say), but don't want horoscope, news or anything else (that wallpaper change thingy etc).
What do I do?

Should be quite easy - I'll post instructions for you later
EDIT - The instructions are here in post #11 for you.
I only want to use parts of this alarm, how do I strip??
The basics of the functions of the alarm are in the task Alarm. Opening it, you'll see that in action #3 it has a 'goto' request IF the %ALARMCOUNT (the amount of times it has already activated) is over 10.
Firsly, whatever changes you make, you'll need to make sure that 'goto' always points to the Variable Set %ALARMCOUNT to 1 (currently action #14), which is the reset function before the alarm switches off.
I set this up so all of the information grabbing tasks are separate. Therefore all you need to do is delete the actions that request them in the form of a 'perform task'.
You'll see in the task Alarm that action numbers 5,6,7,8 call for the following tasks to go off and get their information:
AlarmInfo
AlarmMQoTD
AlarmDayHoro
AlarmNewsHeadlines
You can delete the ones you don't wish to have from Alarm, but don't forget to check the 'goto' is still pointing to Variable Set %ALARMCOUNT to 1!
There are no further 'goto' actions to be concerned with in the above and below information tasks.
The first 3 tasks above, kick off the wallpaper tasks in their actions:
AlarmAPOTD (action #4 in AlarmInfo)
AlarmNGPOTD (action #12 in AlarmMQoTD)
AlarmNPOTD (action number #9 in AlarmDayHoro)
The action number varies due to the differing number of Variable Splits required when extracting the data from the HTTPGET.
You are free to delete the perform task actions should you no require the wallpaper changes.
You are free to edit the perform task actions to a different task (wallpaper) if you only want to use a particular one.
That's it! Easily changed to suit your own taste. Any questions, no matter how silly they feel, please do not hesitate to ask (Tasker makes us all feel a bit dumb at first! ).
Feedback?
There have been a few downloads of this, but no feedback?
Should I assume that everything is working absolutely fine?!?!? Hope so!
I have a question for you:
Are there any pre-made scripts to perform all these tasks you describe, or do we HAVE to manually input them ourselves?

The profile and tasks download is in post #3. Import them into Tasker and they are ready to go, everything is set up for you.
In post #1 you'll see that you need to do the basics such as creating folders on the SD card and choosing your alarm sound.
It's a 3 minute job before you can run this for the first time. The amount of changes after that is up to you!
EDIT - ps. There are hundreds of other ready to go Tasker profiles kicking around the net.
That's great. Thanks a ton! Just what I needed.
WOW, just found out that you had created yet another profile! (Too much tapatalk without signatures) . Gonna try this out tomorrow, will report back here with my experiences.

Haha, love the new "alarm clock" (more like high-tech alarm clock monster).
A few bugs to report:
When it tries to pull the weather I get an Unkonw Host message (although the link open's fine in the browser).
The horoscop won't pull itself (I get no error messages, but the "girl" tells me the variable %HOROD instead of my horoscope).
I have sat the snooze time for 2 minutes, but the popup shows 7:03 (which could not be right because my alarm goes off at 7:00).
The rest of the alarm-clock is working fine(love the picture changing thingy)!
Feature request:

When it tries to pull the weather I get an Unkonw Host message (although the link open's fine in the browser).
The horoscop won't pull itself (I get no error messages, but the "girl" tells me the variable %HOROD instead of my horoscope).
I have sat the snooze time for 2 minutes, but the popup shows 7:03 (which could not be right because my alarm goes off at 7:00).
The rest of the alarm-clock is working fine(love the picture changing thingy)!
Feature request:
Read the first ten topics of the email.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Doh! I thought it was working great...
Hmmm... Are you sure you've set the weather up correctly - under the 'mime type' are you pulling HTML instead? Does it work on the weather for my location? Add an output file of weather.txt and see if you get a file created.
For %HOROD, do the same and set an output file horo.txt. It may be that the splitters I've used don't match your star sign - again, did it work with the standard settings.
If the splitters are wrong and you need help changing them, paste the file contents in #code# tags and I'll take a look..
The alarm time must match the number in alarmsnoozemaths too - otherwise you'll end up with two different numbers... Where they the same?
I'm working on calendar entries and email - but Tasker only currently reads K9 email and the calendar entries are coded... need to decode them... Effort!
Keep an eye on your thanks meter
Message to self: don't create tasker-profiles at 00:30am in the morning!
Just readded the profiles, and now the clock is working great!
Just one bug that still persists, the horoscope thingy.

I hope you can fix this
Reminder App for Daily Work : Prompt
This app helps you create a reminder and alarm for any of your daily tasks with the option to periodically repeat them. There are a number of alarm and reminder apps used for daily tasks on play store but Prompt stands out. The beautiful Material UI of the app makes it the best available alternative among all other daily task reminder and alarm apps. We tend to forget a lot of things due to our busy lives, reminder helps us to complete all our tasks without fail. We need to wake up on time and alarm helps us do that.
In today's era, punctuality is the most important characteristic of all successful people. A punctual person is able to complete all his task on time. Students, Teachers, Politicians, Officials, Traders and the Farmers all have used prompt in order to win glory and success in life. Prompt helps you stay punctual and always on time by reminding you about what to do, when.
Punctuality brings in its trail efficiency. A punctual person commands the confidence and respect of others. If we look at the lives of all great men, we would realize that they had got a time schedule for every day. The Alarm feature of prompt will help you rise early in the morning and kick-start your day!
Those who have problems in waking up early, Prompt is the ultimate solution for you. You will never fail to wake up, ever.
Everyday routine provides a sense of structure and familiarity. Structure is a way of organizing your life so that it makes sense to you. You wake up with a sense of ownership, order, and organization of your life.
One of the more convenient reasons why prompt is important is because it negates the need to regularly remind yourself about what to do. You already know what you have to do each and every day. Once you are finished with a task, you already know what is next on your schedule. This structure provides direction in your life, enabling you to act instead of standing still because of a lack of direction or decision paralysis.
Another major reason for using this app for daily work is that it creates a routine. A routine is something that you do over and over again, eventually making it a habit. Once it is a habit, you do not need to think about it to act. The act of automation increases efficiency in your life, by enabling you to do things without consciously thinking about it. You will automatically get things done, without having to remind yourself to get things done. In this manner, you do not let anything slip and you save time by not having to decide what to do with your day.
Use Prompt daily to never miss out on any task!
