This is your standard Alarm Clock with some new features!
Flip your phone over to snooze the alarm.
Customize your snooze time.
Wake up to songs on your SD card.
Version 1, and this is XDA-Devs so I'm counting you guys to give me constructive criticism and report bugs.

This should work on top of the pattern password. When the alarm goes off it needs to pop up on top of everything on the phone.
It looks exactly like the Alarm that comes on the phone and I kinda dont like that since I want to be able to distinguish the 2.
tnx great start

Klaxon can use your phone's accelerometer:
Flip your phone over to snooze the alarm.
Shake your phone to turn off the alarm.
In addition, you can now pick a song off your SD card to use as your alarm sound!

Incidentally I originally created this application for the HTC Touch Diamond, and it was a huge hit... 60000+ downloads.

I think its a good idea, but I can't get the shake to turn off the alarm to work? The snoozing part works good though. Any suggestions? (I also commented this in the market)

Try "long" shakes as opposed to "short" or "quick" shakes. The accelerometers are right next to the speakers, and are very sensitive... while developing this, I found the alarm sound itself would make the accelerometer think it is being shaken. The only way I could fix this was by responding to only certain types of shakes.
Hahaha, the default alarm is not something to be used in a very quiet office environment. I about pee'd myself.
Hey, first off pretty good app and its useful..
i know it might be taking a chunk of your time..but how bout some options like "join the dots" maze or something like that for us heavy sleepers
something like the g-alarm...if you know what i mean...
It doesn't seem to work all the time. Sometimes I shake and it works other times it doesn't work, cool app though! This should be posted in apps thread.
is there anyway to set a default snooze time and a default alarm sound... or u have to set that up with each new alarm that u create....?
The flipover for snooze is really cool. I shook the phone like a crying baby and it would still not turn the alarm off.
How hard and with what intensity does one have to shake the phone to silence the alarm?
BTW: Default alarm made me think the fire suppression system was going off in the data center next to my office.
Unfortunately I had to remove the shake to turn off feature: it's too hard to distinguish between when someone is shaking the phone and when the phone is just vibrating because music is playing.
In fact, there used to be a bug where the alarm would turn off because the music "shook" the phone. Sometimes it would register readings of up to 2.5Gs... which is a lot.
The Diamond didn't have this problem; I am guessing this is because the accelerometer location is probably closer to the speaker on the G1 than it was on the Diamond.
I added customizable snooze this last version too.
The flipover for snooze is plenty enough for me. Definitely a fun and very functional app. Doesn't always like to snooze if its on a soft surface I noticed. I stuck it between two pillows and reached in and flipped it over... took a couple flips to get it to recognize the flip. Works perfect on any hard surface like a desk or countertop.
what about this for an idea: when you pick up the phone upright, it acknoweldges the alarm- when it's flipped over, it snoozes?

old version
Do you have link to the old version with shake?
Does anyone have the Klaxon apk?
I don't see it on the market anymore and I would love to install it.
Thanks.
Here is free version
Just what I wanted! Thanks a lot.
I got my G1 today and I'm going app-crazy at the moment. I love it!
Edit -- NM
Yeah I tried searching for it in the marketplace last night and it wasn't there. Searched again this morning and it is back though.
Before I got a MyTouch I had seen a app on the market with the G1 that controlled the back light for the trackball on the Hero and the MyTouch. I tried to search every option out there and I cant find the app. Does anyone know what this app is called?
Thanks in advanced
I want to know too, anyone help?
I second this!
The only thing I have been able to find is controlling the blink rate of the trackball in the settings of Handsent sms. I use the app as my default sms client anyways. A dev should definitely make an app for the control of the trackball as well as color changing (if it offers such a thing).
Hey there ppl
Iam searching for some software which can customize the Trackballs LED when i recieve sms or have a missed call to flash faster.
The LED is very usefull when you do not have any sound or vibration on the phone and its laying ont the table. But the idea of it dissappears when it only flashes once every 10 seconds as you will have to look at it in a long time to see if you have recieved anything.
So it could be really nice if some sort of software existed

I came across NotifyLight(Pulselight) app, but it just works when screen is on The app dev doesn't seem to support it anymore...

You could install theVillain Rom 3.3.... When receiving sms, email, voicemail, notification, the trackball will led.. you can also switch off part of these settings.
Notifylight works fine (IF YOU HAVE ROOT!)
Greetings all,
So I just got a new S III mini and I really love it. There is just one tiny thing I just can't grasp at the moment, and that is how to change alarm clock sound/melody. I am unable to see where I can do that. I've gone through all settings I can find, but nothing is related to alarm clock.
I have not rooted my phone, as I am yet uncertain as to if I really want/need to or not - at present time.
I've used the same ringtone, alarm sound and sms sound for the better part of the last 8 years or so, and I have no wish to change that any time soon.
So if anyone want to be so kind as to enlighten me how I should go about to add it to my phone: what format should be used? Where do I store it? And for the love of grumpy cat, how do I find a setting/list where I can chose a default audio file for alarms? Oh, yeah, I'm using stock alarm clock. If someone know of a really good app where this can be achieved with simplicity then feel free to enlighten me (I do NOT want to test all apps that are out there just to find a good one; would rather just keep the default one and never change )
Thanks in advance,
/Martin
Go to the programs and open Clock.
Press the cross on the upper right corner to create a new alarm.
When the new alarm screen opens, you can see a "more" bar at the bottom.
Pressing that will reveal more options including the alarm tone one.
Going there you can find an "add" button at the bottom of the alarm tone list.
Click that and select your favorite sound/music.
:victory:
Wow, I really feel so stupid at the moment! I've pressed that "more" bar so many times before, but since I never could scroll below it (without clicking it, as I now see) I never attempted to scroll down once I've clicked it the first time!!
I'll be right back, just gonna go and smash my head against the wall a couple of times!

thank you
I was wondering if any one knew of an app that would blink the capacitive home screen button when you have a notification. I have looked around on the play store to no avail. I have never developed anything for android. I have got myself setup to begin designing an app that will basically turn the home button into a notification light while the screen is off. If anyone knows of an app that can do this or would like to help please let me know.

I know this is nothing even close to what you are looking for, but I found it useful on another phone that didn't have a notification led.

If you could update with what it was that you found usefull that would be great. Thanks. I am looking for anything close to posibly even take ideas from.
It shows a small icon on the screen for different notifications, which if I remember correctly are all customizable. So it's a persistent icon on the screen letting you know about missed calls, texts, unread emails, or whatever you set it up for. It only uses a tiny amount of screen, and therefore backlight. Back when the Android phones first came out a lot of them didn't have leds for notifications. I don't remember having a big hit on my battery at the time from the program.

Ill have to check it out. I have used a few like that and they didn't act right, made the screen act weird. Thanks for the suggestion.

I just got the Turbo today, and I will try it out too. I know it was a lifesaver when I had my Samsung Captivate.
A nudge or a wave shows moto display, I think it's the natural evolution of a notification led
I know but i wish it didn't. I have the wave turned off but i cant turn the nudge off. I only want it to display if there is a notification. If there is nothing it should just wait patiently. But that's just me.

Now see I'm the opposite I want it to show more like battery %. I don't wear a watch anymore and love active display for checking time.

NiLS in the Play Store will but notifications on the lockscreen... however you will have to disable Active Display and go with the normal lock screen.

That could work, thanks.
