All ok now then?

I hate that a lot of custom roms include task killers by default as if the Hero keeps apps open. In the 1st place. I can't stand it when I can't be sure that the browser I'm minimizing will stay open while I'll reply to an sms. x¦

When you say new, have you tried all the old ones already?
There are a number of good options out there...

I tried it for a few times and I do quite like it over the PocketWakeup, due to its (travel alarm) nice looking interface. However, I went back to PocketWakeup anyway. Reasons:
(1) Travel alarm does not include a vibrate feature
(2) There is always a thread/process of travel alarm running at the background, which I'm not sure if helps on my slow Charmer processing power and/or the battery life.

I'm using that now and I always press the stop button on accident. So its not working out...
This is a good alarm & its free, never let me down yet. http://www.freewareppc.com/clock/alarmclock.shtml
Don't know of any new ones. I use the alarm from MortPlayer. It is very basic, but does the job. I can use my MP3 as the alarm. I had it fail once because my phone didn't recognize my media folder on the storage card. It wasn't isolated to MortPlayer so I can't blame it on the program.

Yep, I've used that one too and have no complaints about it. It seems to work pretty well and has never let me down either.
I have been using MTUX AlarmX for a couple years. It isn't quite up to date (doesn't support landscape for example). And it's pretty basic (no MP3s, no repeating alarms) but then the interface is also simple. It is easy to set up to two alarms, alarm sounds, End or Snooze an alarm. I periodically try other programs, but always come back to this.

Alarm Doesn't Work!

Using Enom's or Cy's ROM...(with the Nextheme and Goodies)...the alarm doesn't go off at 530am!
Anybody know if it's the ROM itself or the Theme+Goodies? Or do I need to experiment myself? (I've experimented with setting the alarm to go off an hour after I set it....it worked...but not sure if it worked because I was playing with the phone at the time)
All I get when I wake up is the trackball blinking. I've read somewhere that the alarm turns itself off after an hour...but I wake up around 5 minutes after the alarm was supposed to have gone on.
Good thing I used a backup alarm...otherwise I'd be in deep Sh------------it!
My alarm didn't go off today, but did yesterday. I have the clock as ignore in my task killer.
What I have found is that my ringtones somehow get lost on the SD card and not played. I am not sure what is happening!!!
Not cool though.

If you use any sort of task killing application and do not ignore or exclude the clock, it will kill it, and your alarm along with it.
Problem is that I ignore the Clock.
But when I go to check the Alarm Ringtone, and press play, it doesn't play anything, just a VERY LOW beep. Worked yesterday, nothing today.
Very odd!!

I like to push the audio files to the system and into it's corresponding folder. Maybe you can try that.
For me...I totally forgot about task manager! I never thought of it because the Alarm Icon is always displayed on the notification bar next to the time...whether the clock is killed or not. I guess I'll find out tomorrow morning after I exclude the clock app from being killed.
Kind of makes me wish the Android 'stole' some stuff from the Blackberry.
Can you explain that a bit more? How would I do that?
Will Astro work?
I honestly think it is an SD issue and yes, I never had that problem with my blackberry. They keep the ringtones on the system memory and you never have to worry about it.

I'm guessing that it will only work with a rooted phone. (Mine is) This is what I use. Root Explorer. I take the files from the SD card and move it into the system/media/audio/alarms directory.
Not sure if Astro is able to access the root of the phone. Otherwise I guess you can use
adb push alarmfilename.mp3 /system/media/audio/alarms
Either way you do it...reboot the phone.
Got it, and done, thanks.
Will see if this works.

Download Shake to Wake
It's a great alternative which forces you to shake the phone 10 (or as many as you like) times to turn it off. Great at forcing you to wake up!
Also, if your alarm clock isn't working, it's probably specific to the ROM or settings. Have you checked the basics such as volume? (sorry)
it was about time...

Get the same Error, on my Prime and on my Sensation with AR HD 6.2.1 (ICS and Sense 3.6)
Hi!
I'll check this asap
Thanks for your feedback!
Thanks for your app!
The link with gCalendar is a great idea and I think you've made a great start.
The first thing I'm missing is the option to set the default for new alarms. Say I want a certain song to be my standard alarm. Now, every time I add an alarm I have to change the settings to that song and rising volume. If you could add that option that would be great.
Keep it going.

Hi!
Thanks for your feedback.
You may in fact duplicate an alarm from the main list by long clicking on it.
It will copy it fully, and you may then modify anything you want ;-)
Awesome! That should do the trick.
Thanks
Thanks for sharing your work, nice job.
Hey - is it possible to have the alarm play through the headphone jack only with this alarm clock? I have not found a single alarm clock that will easily allow me to do this - I wake up super early and don't want to bother my roommate!
UPDATE:
Oooohhh this is a BIGGIE - BE SURE TO ADD SUPPORT ASAP FOR NON-STANDARD DENSITIES! Cannot download from the market right now.

Do you mean being sure the alarm is correctly triggered?
Cause you should see the next alarm on your lock screen...
Maybe I could add something on the main screen (where the alarm list is displayed) and/or create a widget...?

[Q] Annoying alarm tone keeps coming up

I've had my G2 for almost a week now and for whatever reason, whenever my morning alarm is always the awful Vienna Boy's Choir singing Life's Good. I've tried a couple different alarm programs and have set them all to different alarm tones, but no matter what, that's the one that wakes me up even if it is not set.
If I make a new alarm for a couple minutes from now, the proper tone will ring. I know this isn't a huge deal, but it's annoying and I want to know what I'm overlooking. Anyone have any ideas?
