Hi - what is the best alarm clock replacement in Desire as I want to change htc lockscreen for vanilla one? I cannot find stock android clock app in my phone as well - is there any way to download it?
Thx
Try Alarm Klock from the market...
it´s free and works good.
I am thinking of using Nova Launcher, but wondering if I will loose any functionality. Does any one know if this is the case?
Try it and let us know!!

I'm using it. You don't lose a great deal - page buddy and the very nice weather widgets are all I can think of that make a daily difference. All the big features still work, including multi-view.
You get rid of most of Touchwiz though, which is a massive advantage.
@ekerbuddyeker - am trying it, but as this is my first Samsung device (only got it today), and never used any of the Samsung features before; I wouldn't have known if I was missing out on anything. Thanks for your contribution though
Seems to be running well so far. Just reading up on "Page Buddy" to see if I think I need it (Thanks Robster83 for that info).
The main advantages of Nova so far are that I can increase the amount of rows and columns on the desktop. I have just come from Paranoid Android on the Galaxy Nexus and with the large screen and default DPI everything on the Note 2 looks VERY BIG. Also finding the swipe down gesture to open up the notifications useful as my fingers struggle to get to the top of the screen when holding the phone in one hand.
Im using Nova and I think its a better option. I can still get Snote to open when I remove the pen so for me losing page buddy doesn't matter. The extra customization is well worth it.
+1 to nova here, much better than tw
Nova is pretty good although does anyone know how to get the S Planner Calendar Widget working with it? The S Planner Calendar widget is so much more advanced than the standard calendar widget and it kinda sucks for that to be the one thing that gets removed when I use Nova.

PageBuddy does not work with Nova launcher or GO launcher.

SPlanner is built into the TouchWiz Launcher, making it impossible to get the widget on anything else other than stock launcher.

I agree with everyone here. Definetly a +1 for Nova over TW.
But since I had page buddy setup to launch Rocket player when my headphones were attached, it seems as though it is locked into that setting. I tried going back to the TW environment to turn it off but it didn't work
Go Launcher is a better option for me, than any other launcher, I would urge those who haven't tried it to give it a go. Loads of customisation possible and the go ex notification add-on is nice.
In terms of calendar widget. Ive also tried loads and best I have found is Pure Calendar Widget.
+1 on Pure Calendar. Also Wizz widget is fine, also free.
I know its not a calendar thread, but if you have already mentioned calendars, then Business Calendar Free!
I'm using nova for two years. After installing it I immediately delete touchwiz launcher. Best launcher I ever tried.
The thing I miss using from my Samsung S3 is the briefing alarm setting in it's clock.
Is there a similar clock/alarm app or in apk form?
Thanks,

As some of you know Chronus (cClock or something of Cyanogenmod) was released yesterday, I like it, but I don't like the date being so small, and I can't change the font. Now I'm using Zooper Widget, which is nice but on lockscreen that widget scales badly on widget maximization and changes its position. So do you guys know any app like Chronus, but with more customisation? I don't really like the default Samsung clock position or font, also I want to keep the Samsung lockscreen, don't like third party lockscreen apps like Widget Locker or anything.
Thanks in advance.

I would like to completely replace the Samsung clock app with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nemesis.deskclock&hl=en. I'd like to be sure that any time an app launches the clock, that this runs and not the terrible Samsung clock app. How can I do this?
Thanks!
