Alarm clock app like the original?

I just switched over to the new CM7 yesterday and am quite happy with it thus far, except for one thing. I really loved being able to set the alarm clock app by spinning the wheel to the correct number on the original ROM. I'm guessing this was part of the Sense UI setup. Is there any alarm clock app that has something similar? I've downloaded a couple and though obviously the widgets and UI differ, they've all had the same boring + - to change the times. Thanks in advance

yeah, the spinning is part of the sense ui. but now that you bring it up, one thing i miss is being able to use music to wake up to, instead of 'beep beep beep'. i don't want to have to download another alarm to have that :-(

If you use Handcent SMS You can set Music to the Alarm. It allows you to set music to just about all your ringtone & Notifications.

I know it's not ideal to download another alarm app, but there are two small ones in the market (I'm talking kilobytes) that are awesome. "Good Morning" can wake to music with text-to-speech telling you the time, weather, news, etc. AppAlarm can wake you to Pandora or any number of other apps as well. Both work amazingly.

alarm wont turn off?

I was in a phone call when my (stock) alarm went off, ended the phone call and had no way to get into my alarm to turn it off. I could get into the alarm settings etc. but there was no way to turn it off, just the settings for it.

This seems like it happens to me every time I use the alarm (which isn't often). I cant shut the damn thing off - and have to pull the battery. It doesn't matter what I am doing at the time the alarm rings. What is the trick to it?

If you guys are using a aosp Rom with cm7 lock screen sense clock alarms will not shut off when using them so either get the HTC lockscreen apk to use the sense alarms or just use desk clock apk u can find it on a few roms. Or in the forums works for me. Cm7 lockscreen will cause issues with sense alarms not shutting off.

i've only had that issue when using a sense rom with asop lockscreen... but i believe that is an old problem and i dunno about a resolution
i have used alarm droid in the past to by pass the normall alarm does all the same and even backs up ur settings alarms from rom to rom which is kind of nice

Get desk clock apk from cm7 or find it on here use it instead of sense alarms works fine.

[Q] weird glow around borders in Cyanogen-Roms

Hello, thread-reader,
I have a weird glow around the borders from widgets in every Cyanogen-Roms i've tried. Is there a way to get rid of these?
This happens only in Cyanogen-Roms for me, in Sense or Miui roms everything is normal.
Also this doesn't seem to be Launcher- or Widget-related, I've got these glow with with launcher pro plus, go-launcher and also with the adw-launcher, that is shipped with the rom and also with the Poweramp-Widgets, the fancy widget H7C-Clock, the Launcher Pro-Widgets etc.
At the moment I am using the "[22.SEP.11][MAG/cLK] TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly v3.6.5 [2.3.5][A2SD][tytung r12]"-Rom with Launcher Pro Plus and NTSense-Theme.
Also, while scrolling through the Homescreens, the glow goes away but comes back as soon as the homescreen is focused.
In my attachment are two pictures that are showing the glow. In the first look at the clock at the sun and at the borders of the white "flip-numbers" of the clock.
In the second picture I am scrolling and the glow goes away.
I hope to get some answers that may help to get rid of these.

[Q] [req] Alarm clock mod, no dismiss button when repeat is on

Hello,
as you might know the stock alarm clock has a function to repeat the alarm a few times, it will show a red button/slider to dismiss the alarm completely and a green one to have it ring again after some time.
My problem is that i have a hard time waking up and often half-asleep activate the red one when i would want it to ring again.
So here is my questions: Are there any mods out there that disable/obscure the red button, when repeat is on (aka there is a green button too)? Or do you know any other alarm app that would work similarly? (i really like some feature of the stock one though, like intelligent alarm, different alarms per day and SVoice integration, thats why i am asking here first)
I am using I9505 (International LTE), currently EchoeRom v10 (4.3, TW based).
Thanks,
tizare

Clock/Alarm - No landscape mode?

I use my phones as my night clock and alarm clock. My last phone was an S3 and I have a cheap little stand that I use to stand my phone up while charging it at night. I notice that when my alarm comes on in the morning that the screen is in portrait mode although my phone is actually sideways in landscape mode. My S3 didn't do this as my alarm was in landscape mode so I didn't have to deal with a sideways alarm clock in the mornings.
Has anyone else noticed this? Is this a new "feature" of the Note 4?
Thanks.

I also notice the built in "clock" app actually has no clock. The only tabs I see are Alarm, World Clock, Timer and Stopwatch. Where did the desk clock go and why does none of this stuff rotate into landscape mode? What am I missing? How does a clock app have no clock?
This is on a non-rooted Canadian Note 4 running Nova as my launcher.

After a lot of research, it seems the stock touchwiz clock/alarm app has been severely neutered. I downloaded Timely from the Play store so we'll see how that goes....
