Hello,
In the stock android alarm clock, DeskClockGoogle.apk (com.google.android.deskclock), the order of week days is wrong - it starts with Sunday, even hough in my locale it should be Monday. Calendar is set to "default" and is Monday, the clock doesn't have a setting for this. This is apparently a known if ignored issue (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=43158).
The interesting thinng is that in CyanogenMod clock, DeskClock.apk (com.android.deskclock) that I have checked on a friend's device, this works correctly and has Monday as first day. I have tried to compare files found in /data/data/com(google.)android.deskclock, alarms.db in particular (I've noticed that a corresponding file for Timely app changes when I change first day in Timley), but wasn't able to fin any notable differences.
So, here's my question - can this be solved via adding or modifying some kind of code in this file, or another file, like build.prop? Or can I somehow replace the Google clock app with CM clock app without installing CM (if so, which files am I going to need, considering I'm running stock ROM, so all is doexed)?
Please, help. I know this is aminor issue, but it's driving my OCD crazy =).
So far the only solution I've found is installing another clock. That sucks, I love the look of JB clock.
Could anyone send me the CM clock app?

Hey all,
I've got a strange situation with my i-mate device.
I used to have an alarm, set to 23:00, on a daily basis. A couple of days ago I didn't need it anymore, so i've canceled it (The time was set to the original 06:00 and the checkbox was cleared). The strange thing is that it keeps alerting me every 23:00.
Have you any idea?
Thanks.
Do you have any other alarm softwares installed on your unit...that could be the cause...
Unless the device decided to take it out on you for breaking its sleep on a daily basis
Rgs/DD
Nope
No other program.
I'm clueless...
ghost alarms due to restore or update....
I kind of remember that after a upgrade process, or restore ( can't remember which) I had double up of alarms going for each set I had defined. Did you a restore or any such activity when this happened?
Hmmm,
Hi,
First of all, I do backup every other day.
Now, I did have a series of backup/restore events a couple of weeks ago, but I haven't restore since then. I too think my "Ghost alaem" got saved to my desktop, and it syncs back without appearing in the Alarms' screen.
Is there any way to edit the list of "floating" alarms?
Thanks...
Hi, i had somthing simular the other day and a few months ago. See the link below, theres 2 files to download that did the job for me, it was a simple case of the system not deleting it in registry.
Not sure exactly how these programs work, just backup your system first then apply them, one clears un needed reminders on each soft reset and one is manually started and clears the unrequired alarms.

Hope this helps
Oh
Thanks, Adam!
I saw a couple of clock.exe events, set to 23:00 (The "Ghost" time).
I guess it'll do the trick (It's 21:33) in here...
By the way... It's important to read http://www.scarybearsoftware.com/ppc_cn_overview.html before applying these applications.
Thanks again.
I have some bugs for the Express Rom, maybe someone can shoot it to one of the guys, since I cant post in the dev group.
In landscape mode, click (touch) on the "people" widget and the mail widget will open, if you have a widget next to the "messages" widget, touching the messages widget will go to the app next to it.
Also in Landscape mode looking at the People Favorites/4G widget, the 4G widgets need to be re-sized, as the white blocks are covering the people favorite apps (top left corner)
In "all apps", touch menu button popup you will see weather options, touch snowball and you get a FC
lol was going to post photos but cant do that either lol
how many to go till I can?
ok well those things are minor but thought I would post them
First, I would like to post this in the dev thread but like the OP I am in "10 post purgatory". I am enjoying the ROM - it is the 4th or 5th that I have flashed on the EVO and hands down the best.
I was a little scary waiting for the install to finish 30-35 minutes but patience is a virtue in this case.......
I am running the Express ROM 3.6.1 and had a couple of issues:
The HTC bookmarks uninstall/install issue I fixed by installing the apk posted in the dev thread with root explorer into the data/app_s folder and then changing the permissions to match the rest of the widgets in that folder. re-booted and re-installed the widget - worked perfectly.
The lockscreen apps/weather bug is still a problem for me - even after wiping 3 times, using the wipe.zip, and re-flashing. Tried various wipes and re-flashes and nothing worked, yes I followed the instructions posted in the dev thread for Personalize, Rosie, then Short Cut Lockscreen, then back button and power off, power on - waiting for the RC to fix this.
Have also had issues with ending calls that are answered from the lockscreen or originated in voicemail.
Also, haven't seen anyone else complain of this but the voicemail icon doesn't display the counter with un-viewed voicemails. The mail and messenger icons do have the counters however. Has anyone else seen/fixed this one?
I would love to see some options for modding the clock on the lockscreen - even if it just to change the color.
Edit: forgot to mention I installed the calculator widget on one of the home screens and it centers on the screen. After re-booting it moved to the upper right corner of the screen, uninstalled and re-installed and it goes back to the correct position - odd.
All in all, a great ROM - many thanks to the developers for all the work and the support going on over in the development section.
Hey,
The express rom is a great rom but just like many of the roms out there it is a WIP and the devs know that there all glitches and they are working their buts off to get us amazing roms because the evos developers just take care of us so much better then so many other phones and we are really thankful for them. But since they are still working on it we just need to give them time to work all the bugs out and when it is all done we will have one heck of a rom! We just have to be patient but that is the least we can do for out devs
I hope I helped If I did please hit the thanks!

As far as touching a widget and having the app next to it open up, that's what the OP for the rom is referring to when he says 'much resizing needs to be done'. I believe it's because of the resolution differences. Editing M10s is apparently very frustrating and time consuming, as this ROM (or variations of it) has been being worked on for roughly a year , since The_Platypus started it. (There was also someone involved at the very beginning, but I forget who)

sac23 ported the Flyer originally, I believe, and then justinswidebody was the first one who tried the Express (after my incessant begging, lol). The platty jumped on, if I recall correctly.
Bingo. Yeah, I remembered justinswidebody shortly after posting,....but completely forgot about sac23

only bug ive seen is the linking people together from my other accs ie facebook twitter tango..... btw dont get the themed one they suck because its someone elses style...so get 3.6.0 and run it with the anthrax og evo4g kernel...ftw
after 2 weeks on the ROM....
The install has started to become somewhat unstable - I am getting random FC's and screen lockups that require me to remove the battery and reboot. After it was first installed, it ran very smoothly except for the known bugs..
At some point I will probably go thru the wipe procedure and re-install to see if it happens again.
I did notice one other issue (probably a re-sizing issue) with the calculator widget. The display truncates in the portrait mode. It displays correctly in horizontal mode, but then the keyboard has the problem of when you push the far left or far right keys, it rotates the display to the next home screen......
one more thing.....
I guess I should re-iterate what I said in post 2 that I love this ROM (3.6.1 themed) and appreciate all the work going on in dev forum. I am just posting these notes because I know that work is ongoing on the RC release and I hope someone will stumble over here and see them.
So here is another observation - The Bluetooth link to the hands free system (Argos) in my MBZ has been acting strange for the last week. It always pairs reliably when I get in the car but it sometimes will not transfer the audio to the vehicle's system (even though the phone and the car both say they are connected. Lately, I have had to manually cycle the Bluetooth off and then back on to get it to work. I have run a few other custom ROMs and not experienced this. For sometime pryor to installing this ROM I was running the Kinged Shooter and then the rooted stock 4.53......
The Argos is Bluetooth 1.2 - not sure if that matters though.
Thanks again for all the hard work.
Hi all,
Be gentle with me, but I think that after weeks of headbanging, I have stumbled across a fix for the problem of dissapearing ringtones in CM10. This works for me on my International S2 and I belive it accounts for the differing accounts of the problem, Some people have it, others not at all, differing periods before it kicks in etc.
I am on the Codeworx 21 August release from Rom Manager
I was looking through my Locale settings and found that I had some ringtones set for different locations, the files for these are now gone and I deleted the settings in Locale, ever since doing this, I have not had the dreaded 'Unknown Ringtone' problem once, despite trying to force it.
I am no MOD, but I am guessing that when an app changes the ringtone, either tyo a file it cannot find or perhaps at all, CM10 cannot substitute the default ringtoine as other roms do, I did not have a ringtone set in defaults, which may also have been a problem in my situation.
I am guessing that any program which alters your ringtone or notification settings can potentially have the same affect.
Apologies if this has been spotted before, but I have been combing the CM10 threads for weeks and not seen it, and hopefully if it can be confirmed by others, that it needs to be more widely circulated, hence the new thread.
Please post with details if it works for you!

I managed to somehow remove the bold hour from my clock. I was messing around with the clock app for other reasons and now it is not bold. I am not exactly sure what did it, so I am just documenting my processes in hopes that maybe we can figure it out. (I'm not complaining that my clock isn't bold anymore...but it would be nice to know why)
I am unlocked and rooted with Clockwork Mod Recovery, but otherwise completely stock.
I set up a 2nd user on my tablet almost immediately after installing 4.2. I noticed after using it for awhile I would get "unfortunately clock has stopped" force close errors semi-frequently regardless of what app I was using or what I was doing.
In trying to troubleshoot that, I cleared data on the clock app on my user. This did not solve the force close issues, so I used root explorer to delete the alarms.db file in the data for the app manually (I believe located at /data/data/com.android.google.deskclock/databases/alarms.db). That file is automatically regenerated when opening the clock app, so I opened it and allowed it to regenerate.
This also did not solve the force close issue, so I also cleared data on the clock app for the 2nd user on the tablet. This seemed to resolve the force close issue and all was well with the world......
Until later that evening when I went to grab my tablet and unlocked it and noticed that the hour was no longer bold. I haven't had a chance yet to experiment with trying to get it back to bold or further testing to figure out what happened.
Any thoughts?
TL;DR I made my clock not bold accidentally and am trying to figure out how/why it happened
Possibly unrelated but...
On my VZW Galaxy Nexus I installed MMuzzy's Jelly Bean - 4.2 AOSP rom (clean wipe) and noticed that the clock wasn't bold by default. I know its a custom rom so there are a lot of possible explanations for that, but he claims it is AOSP and he doesn't make customizations like that so I'm not sure why it would be this way.
I noticed that the clock lockscreen widget on the phone is still bold, so I could add that, and delete the stock one that is there and go to bold on the phone. I am at work at the moment and don't have my Nexus 7 with me, so I can't test to see if the same is true for it at the moment, but it seems like a possibility.
AOSP ROMs are not affected. Analysis here:

A weird thing has been happening to my S5 since I got it, both before and after rooting. For some reason, not all widgets want to stick to my homescreen in the stock Samsung launcher. When I first got the phone, they all worked, as far as I could tell (I didn't investigate fully at the time, since I had no reason to suspect that they wouldn't work). After a little while, though, I found that I couldn't make Beautiful Widgets widgets stick. I long-pressed the homescreen, chose BW, selected a widget style/size, and customized it in the BW menu, just like it's supposed to work. But no widget appeared on the homescreen. What was weirder was that in the BW app itself, it listed my widget as working, even though it obviously wasn't. Uninstalling/reinstalling the app did nothing but clear the "existing" widget I had created from the list within the app interface.
At first, I thought this problem was limited to BW, so I just got rid of it and decided to jump to another app, but then I found that HD widgets didn't work, and another similar clock/weather-style widget group wouldn't work. Thinking maybe I had created some sort of data corruption, I did a factory reset, which worked for a while, but eventually the widgets stopped working again. After rooting, and finding that the problem still existed, I factory reset again, and started putting my apps back on one at a time, testing to see if it was a conflicting app causing the problem. No luck. The widgets worked until some random time when they simply no longer would.
I finally resolved to go without this kind of widget, since it wasn't a necessity, just a convenience. The problem is that I've now noticed that other kinds of widgets aren't working, either, including some that I'd really like to have work, like the Tasker timer widget.
Has anyone else noticed this problem occurring on their Verizon S5s? I'm going to look into which widgets actually still work (because some do), and which don't, and compile a spreadsheet, see if I can come up with a reason. I doubt I'll be successful, but it might be useful for other people who actually know how to fix things.
PS. Another weird thing is that the widgets stick to Nova Launcher homescreens just fine. Now, that would be okay, except that I want to do some theming now that we can flash some ROMs, and I thought that theming only applies to the stock launcher. Plus, I'm guessing that this isn't normal behavior and I do want to find out why it's happening, not just use a workaround.
After some more digging, I've found that, with only a few exceptions, the widgets that require some sort of customization before placement on the homescreen are the ones that don't work. All widgets that are simply "click-and-drop" work fine. But, if I click a widget and it opens up a configuration page, 9 times out 10 no widget will appear on the homescreen after the configuration.
It doesn't seem to matter what size the widget is, whether the widget's app is stock or third-party, or if it is solo on the widget page or part of a group of widgets from the same app.
Plus, there are some exceptions to this, such as Google Play widgets, Mint, and Email Me Pro. Others work sometimes, depending on what configuration you apply to the widget. For example, the stock Picture Frame widget works when you shuffle the pictures, and doesn't when you choose where to draw pictures from.
Very strange. I'm thinking my only course of action might be to go nuclear and flash a completely different stock image onto my phone through Odin. I downloaded one from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53437805&postcount=1289. If I'm correct, this tar image should be exactly the same as the one that was on my phone from the factory, presumably minus whatever problem mine currently has. We'll see how it goes, I guess.
Okay, so flashed the tar image through Odin, reloaded some stuff without rooting (yet), and everything seems to be going fine so far. I'm pretty sure that by this point in my previous experiment, the widgets had stopped working. I think it must have been some sort of corrupted file deep inside my system that isn't there now.
