I have an idea for a app that would use G-Sensor... Alarm clock to replace the "not so good to use wm6.1 one"
It could turn off the alarm when shaking the phone... Tilting your phone face down would give you pre configured amount of extra time after alarm...
Also fullscreen buttons for deactivation and snooze would be nice... The stylus tends to be really crappy to use in the mornings.
Mp3 support...
Could easily pay 20EUR for a working software like this...
When people wake up in the morning they are usually very tired. I can easily see people losing grip on the phone while shaking it to silence the alarm. The consequences might be hard.
Nice Idea, sounds logical and doable I hope a serious developers picks up the idea. A nice finger friendly way of setting would be great as well. You should probably put a link to this thread in the G sensor apps sticky.
think it is a great idea !
yeah there was some mention of this in the Schap's 5.00 ROM development page, but yeah if someone could make a stand alone program which uses the G-sensor, or at least big finger friendly buttons to turn it off, that would b gr8

YES to that !!!
Also, it would be nice if the alarm notice on the Today screen, will show not only the time of the next alarm, but also the amount of hours left for the next alarm (like in SPB Mobile Shell).
This is a great idea! The alarm on my phone really pissed me off this morning (you have to dig through the task bar to get to it, menu item to snooze, blah!). I'll have it done sometime later today or early tomorrow!
Doh - Koush was faster...
i also like this idea!
Yep - Very good idea!!

Actually I've already implemented this function in my user interface. It stops alarm, but I could also add an option to delay alarm, that's a good idea!
Schaps, you're just the MASTER of Rom Cooking.....
Yeah - great idea...
Easy alarm setup from somewhere within the touchflo interface would be great.
There should be an option if shaking kills the alarm or just acts like a "snooze" function which delays the alarm by 10 min...
We need that
alarm
Is this out yet? would be awesome! looking forward to this!!
Hi all, I finished the alarm program as promised (I'm calling it Klaxon). I'm working on making the application look pretty now, sadly I'm not very artistic. If anyone wants to donate some bitmaps that I can use as the buttons, that would be awesome!
I'll provide a link to the CAB shortly.
Features:
Unlimited number of alarms.
You can customize the alarm in the following ways:
-Alarm sound file (MP3, WAV, WMV)
-Snooze Time
-Expire Time (so it doesn't go on forever)
-Days of the week to use the alarm
-Time of day to go off (obviously)
-Enable/Disable
-Flip the phone over from any orientation to "snooze" it.
-I'm thinking about putting a shake functionality to turn it off, but sleepy people may destroy their phones!
-Big finger friendly buttons.
Let me know if you guys have any more suggestions!
Sounds great Koush! I look forward to help beta-test the alarm program!
Let me know if you guys have any more suggestions!

Koush,
Once you set the alarm to wake you at a certain hour, is it possible to see on the "Today" screen, not only the time that the alarm suppose to start, but also the amount of hours that are left until the alarm will start ?
For example, if the time now is 11:00pm, and you set the alarm for 7:00am, then on the Today screen it will show: "7:00am (8 hours from now)".
Koush,
Another suggestion: is it possible for you to add an option that once you set an alarm, the device will switch to Silent Profile, and once the alarm goes off and you deactivate it, the sound profile gets back to what it was before ?
Everytime I set the alarm at night, I also need to switch the profile to Silent, so no one will wake me up while I sleep. When I get up in the morning, I need to set the sound profile back to normal. It would be nice if your alarm could save the hassle.
Hi Koush, fast work, how about turn the phone over twice, or over and back, to kill the alarm, once to snooze? Looking forward to your cab. Thanks
Excellent Idea
Wait fro the CAB
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?

Acknowledges the alarm? What do you mean?

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.
using cm 4.15.1 rom,i found that the alarm clock often auto close after a program run or desktop crash.
i opened taskmanager and found there's no process of alarm clock,but the next morning it sound amazing.
by the way,i also tested another state,after set a nearly time to alarm,i killed its process with taskmanager,then never happened at the time.if i didn't kill,it's normal.
so who can tell me the reason?will the process of alarm clock be hidden sometime?or something can wake up its process?
PS:i used apptosd,maybe this affect?
thx for your answer. my english is poor...
Just went back to JM1 stock after playing with JPH so I am now all stocked and official.
However I was dissapointed to discover that in JM1 there is no snooze option for the Smart Alarm mode. JPH had this (on the gentle "sunshine" screen in JPH there was a slide-to-switch off and a slide-to-snooze).
I want to stick with 2.1 for now so can anyone running JM8 tell me if the Smart Alarm has a snooze button/slider?
Thanks
Mark.
I don't think so but can I recommend "gentle alarm" from market? Best alarm app EVER

Thanks. I will try it.
Call me wierd but I do like to use stock features of a phone where possible. I only tried the Smart Alarm first time after flashing JPH and I loved it. I didn't have any problems with reliability or anything. But can't use it now on JM1 without the snooze on Smart Alarm (I'll never get up!).
I will use Gentle Alarm and when official Froyo is released I will decide wheter to switch back to the stock Smart Alarm.
BTW: Any comments on if Gentle Alarm drains much more battery overnight than the stock alarm?
Mark.
Not sure, but could you add maybe multiple smart alarms, say 10 minutes apart? that way, the first time, you switch it off, it will come back as alarm 2, and then 3 etc.
Would work fine if you wake up at the same time every day, but if it changes, then you would have to configure 2-5 alarms every time, which would get annoying.
This should be moved to Q & A, is not related to development at all.

Ahh, yes, good point. My brain was in "I just changed from a beta ROM" mode becasue it was about a feature in Froyo so that's why I put it here. Sorry.
Personally i dont see a point why we need smart alarm, a alarm that alert before another alarm? Just simple make the default alarm properly with slow ramp of the sound volume will do!
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!
