Display alarm on lock screen win6.5 - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi,
Ive searched and cant find an answer.
I use G-Alarm for alarm purposes, but in win6.5 and using the titanium today skin, it doesnt show that the alarm is active and what time the alarm is set to go off at.
On the lock screen its the same case.
I think it would be great to be able to use the space on the lock screen to display the alarm, e.g. the alarm time, how many hours/minutes remaining and thats it.
It shows appointments, but not alarms, I cant undestand why the hell this is.
Anyone have any recommendations?

Looking for the same thing but havn't found a solution :-(

Use S2U2 as lockscreen, it's full configurable.
You can also try "iPhone Today" (instead of Titanium) - it's very usable.

I know S2U2 very well because i used it on my Topaz and its a really good program. But im trying to avoid all the extra apps and instead tweak Windows Mobile and Sense to my needs ;-)

Request for usage app/tab?

Hi everyone. I did a quick search, but wasn't able to find anything. Is there an App out there that will let us see our minute usage? I used to use Nueminutes when I had a Mogul, but it stopped working, and, since TF3D is our homescreen, you wouldn't be able to see it on the Diamond anyways.
So, is there anyone out there who knows of/can make an app that will display our minute usage or make a usage tab?
Sorry if this has already been discussed
Guess not. Oh well.
you could use matsgo manila control and have chi tai dang battery status plug in running in the non tf3d today screen! ive done it before!
just to make myself clear, i dont think there is a tf3d plugin that allows you to count calls/data/sms but there is a 'normal' today plugin (i.e. battey status) which does!
matsogo manila control allows you to switch between tf3d and the normal today screen by a sofkey or gesture!
both apps are available on the forum
hope this helps

Search for lock screens, there are several out there like Dusk's that may have this functionality.
Thanks, that's just what i was looking for ;-)

Looking for screen lock with agenda display

Hi all.
I've just received a new HTC Desire - quite impressed so far but one thing I'm struggling to find is a screen lock app that offers a full or partial agenda display...
I previously owned a WinMo Touch Pro 2 and used S2U2 - an srceen lock replacement that allowed for several extra displays during screen lock including customisable agenda presentation. I found it quite handy when I wanted a quick check on my next meeting and didnt want to unlock my phone.
So can anyone recommend a screen lock with that kind of functionality?
Thanks in advance.
Can anyone recommend a screen lock app...?
Any suggestions....I'd accept a "better" screen lock if nothing else....
Something that will display new texts, or reminders without unlocking the screen...
I'm curious about this kind of software. I would like it..
but if it is possible to disable the locksceen I'd also be satisfied since I use a leather case.

How difficult would it be for s2u2 to be brought over to Android?
S2U2?
I don't know but that is one the the only things I miss from my windows mobile.
Having a randomn background on screen lock and all the other functions that came with it
Flyscreen from the Market can do this for you.
It has an inbuilt Agenda widget for the lock screen or you can add your own.

Thanks djmcnz.
I looked at and tried the Flyscreen app and it wasn't quite right. It was diffiultto get a useful calendar on the screen and in fact it didn't lock the screen for me. When I placed an app on the Flyscreen modified screen it was still active and the slightest touch opened it....
Perhaps I'm doing something wrong but it was more hassle than it was worth.
Thanks for the suggestion though.
Thanks I'll give it a go...

Thanks I'll give this a go - first impressions look ok if a little more than I wanted
Not too bad so far - opted for the adware support version for the time being.
Offers a lot more than I wanted/needed but for free or even for the paid version still seems like a good investment.
Thanks for the suggestion
Finally something: CalWidget & WidgetLocker
Hi all.
after a few months looking I finally found a simple but comprehensive combination for my screen lock and agenda display requirement.
I'm uinsg CalWidget for my calendar replacement and then WidgetLocker. WidgetLocker replaces the standard screen lock app and allows me to add other widgets.
Surprisingly good - still a few rough edges but better than most other options and combinations found so far.
Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions.

Stock Alarm Clock Issues

Just recently got the Shift and so far its a big nice upgrade from the hero.
I don't currently have root access and am pretty much running stock everything, with the exception of Launcher Pro and some custom icons.
The issue I am running into is that occasionally my alarm clock goes off w/o the option to snooze or dismiss.
The only way to remedy this is to yank the battery... (at least thats how I deal with it at 6:am and I want to snooze)
Anyone else have this problem or know of a way to fix it?
Thanks.
I had the problem show up a few times on my Hero before the official 2.1 release, but I don't remember if anything I tried fixed it. Just letting you know it's not just you.
I know the alarm clock snooze/dismiss settings are tied to HTC Sense. Maybe launcher pro is messing with Sense somehow.
I think the controls to dismiss or snooze the alarm are tied to the lock screen. I don't use launcher pro, but I wonder, does launcher pro replace the stock lock screen?
Ive had similar problems...im stock rooted and still using sense and occasionally have this problem...i usually use audio manager widget to lower the volume so its not driving me crazy and then set a new alarm for like a min later...when the snooze/dismiss options appear for the new alarm i hit dismiss and all the alarms stop
Why not install DeskClock.apk?

No, it doesn't.
^ Shift Faced
That's the same way I've been solving it Seems that if I turn off the phone (Kyocera Zio 2.2) whilst having an app on screen (ie turn it off from within an app or fxn) the incidence is quite high. If turned off from home screen, doesn't occur (or at least not very often - can't quite be sure, but 95% certainty) Just wanted to make someone aware of it. Glad to see it wasn't just me who noticed it. Having to take the case off, battery out, et al are annoying, and just seems a goofy fix for what is generally a nice piece of equipment! Someone else (Hero user?) is changing their vol setting and then setting another alarm for a min later to have the shut-off option appear. I may try that in the future. THANK YOU for the site!!

[Q] Analog Clock for Lock Screen Wanted-Help

so, got my sprint tp2 running 6.5. i disabled sense and tf3d bc i want the simplicity of using the Easy Today Launcher (places whatever shortcuts I want on the today screen with no other fancy things going on).
in keeping with the simple theme, also installed Daniel Herieira? (sp) LockDevice (a simple lock slider which creates a clean screen with my wallpaper, the lock slider and a digital clock with the date).
since she boots at about 110 ram..before leaking down thru the day, Id like to NOT install any of the home screen custom ROM's that i believe all require to have the memory hog sense enabled.
all i want is a simple analog clock that i can either enable as a plug in in various skins/locations for my Today screen, or better yet, to replace the digital clock on my lock screen. looked everywhere, cant figure it out. does anyone have any suggestions?? am i posting in the wrong place? thanks in advance
