Alarm clock app start up at boot problem - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a huge problem. I am using Phronesis Rom v3. I use alarm clock extreme for alarms but due to some reason it doesn't start at boot automatically and due to which alarm doesn't sound sometimes. Is there any way to make it run at startup. It's ticked to start in 'autostarts' in setting but stll doesn't start at bootup. I have sm n900L.

Alarm clock extreme app doesn't show up there

I have Phronesis Rom V3 too, and a lot of people have problems with smart manager. Including myself.
Try freezing it with Titanium Backup if you don't use it that much, or disable it in settings.
If it doesn't help, look at your battery saving applications (if you have any) like Greenify, Amplify, etc. See if they are stopping your alarm application from running.
Hope it helped :laugh:

Alarm does not work

hi
i have read many pages and still have no solution on 1.6 android.
how alarm works when screen is black?
is there some alternative alarm program or just must buy another phone for alarm?
when you set an alarm it will ring either it's in sleep mode either not...
Maybe you've killed all tasks with task killer and so clock killed so.. if this is it don't wait
for the alarm to ring.. Watch out what processes you kill.
Cheers
bussekas is correct. If you have Taskiller or similar killer app installed, it seemingly kills off required processes when you put the phone into standby. I had this problem and couldn't figure out which was the offending task that was being killed, so I uninstalled the app and no problems since

..or you just don't kill the clock app
Wasn't killing the clock app but yet Taskiller still killed something that prevented the alarm going off.
if you open the alarm click on the alarm that you have set and press done it's like you've been open again your alarm.. but instead of doing this every time you should watch out for what you kill
I had the Sams probleme, now I'm just useing the app alarm klock from the marked works just fine

Use SystemPanel App, put your clock on the exclude list, and you can kill all the apps you want, and the alarm will still work. At least i do that. Tested and working..
I'm using ATK Free and I added Clock app into the exception list. Now alarms work even on Standby.
I had a similar issue
but all i did was install
audio manager and it worked like a bomb
seems that sometimes the default audio on the tattoo alarm goes down to 0
and just shows the alarm ringing but does not make a sound
after installing this app
it works now an never late for work

[Q] Nexus 4 lag

I've installed PA rom 3.60..latest build with matrix kernel.
There are 2 issues,firstly the widgets menu is lagging to the core.I tried with all transition effects thinking that it will change,but no success.
Secondly the phone restarts on its own while playing music mostly but sometime even when the phone is idle or charging.
Tried wipe data,reflashed the ROM and kernel.
The applications installed are also very few.
FYI:there are 22 pages in widgets menu mainly because of Quicknote app and UCCW.
Also Im using Apex launcher.
Launcher wont fix this thing..You can try hiding the apps which has got too many widgets in the drawer eg UCCW,minimilistic text,zooper widget etc.I hope it helps bringing down the Lag

You can reduce lag in widgets menu with the app - auto-starts. Open it, then choose -widget updating, and then disable some widgets that you don't need. I also have PA on n4 and I only have that problem.

check md5 on rom and gapps. Maybe you need to redownload the rom and reflash.

Turn off Default SMS & Call Widget on Lock Screen

I do like the stock 4.3. Its much smoother compared to 4.2.1.
But what I don't like is the default SMS widget that shows up on the locks screen when we receive an SMS.
Same goes for Miss Calls.
The sms is displayed on the screen itself, so basically anybody could read the sms as it arrives (I dont like putting lock).
I know, there is a setting to disable sms display but that will turn off the displaying of the message on notification bar aswell.
So is there any way to turn off that widget ? I couldn't find any yet.
Infact, this whole lock screen widget thing is not so cool because, as per my experience, if I put widgets, the phone takes up a while (1-2 secs) to wake up.

if your on a rooted device,then probably you can freeze that widget using titanium backup or linksd. or on a unrooted phone you can also disable it. settings>apps
Could you point out which one to turn off ?

I've turned off most of the unusable apps. That reduced my ram usage to 800 mb now but didn't find any app to turn off for this thing.

sorry I dont know which app/process it is because I don't own a Samsung device!
you must try to find it yourselves by just freezing apps/process related to lockscreen one after the other!
hmmm... what r u doing here at the first place?

Had the same question as thread opener. I'd prefer to use dashclock to handle this kind of things, non that Samsung stuff. And, at the same time, I'd like to keep text content readable on notification bar. Is this lock screen notification disposable somehow? I see nothing that could be related to it in settings
Note 2 N7100 - DN3 ROM @240 dpi - MK4
I took the other way to solve this one..
I have actually installed Textra sms client and I have kept the stock Messaging app aswell.
So, now on, the new sms is captured by Textra and displayed on status bar like before. And if I want, I can use stock sms to reply or read, but I prefer textra now. In case you prefer textra, u can actually turn off stock Messaging from App manager and permanently use Textra (or any other sms client) as a replacement.:laugh:
Just install a 3rd party SMS app and disable notifications in stock app.
Donnt be bothered about RAM when using a powerhouse such as Note 2

I managed to obtain what I needed with rom toolbox pro using its auto run manager function. Make system apps visible, than look for a package named com.sec.android.app.keyguard and disable the first receiver, whose lengthy name ends with "missed widget provider". No more notifications on lock screen taking the place of my widgets (namely dashclock)!
Hope this helps, fell free to ask for clarifications if needed. No side effects noted until now, but I seldom receive text messages since WhatsApp has been invented, so it hasn't been tested much. Cheers!

it's more simple now
Search : Disable Samsung Notification Widget APK* on google, then click on the first link.
It's a mod for xposed installer, for rooted device. This mod remove totally the new message widget and missed call widget of the lockscreen.
Here is that xposed module

Can someone provide me note 2's kitkat lockscreen widgets for the messaging app and dialer only?
I need them badly and don't want to download the whole firmware for just 2 files.

I removed Default Clock app...

So I have Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (G935F) and I really dislike all the bloatware Samsung puts on their devices.
So I installed Custom ROM to get rid of it. More specifically I installed Efficient ROM which let me choose which apps i want to have on my phone.
Being sick of preinstalled apps I selected all of them to not be installed. Along with default Clock App.
Which at first didn't bother me at all since I could install Google Clock app from the Play Store.
But my problem started when I wanted to use alarm feature. Though app is very well adopted by the system (the alarm icon even appears on the AOD which I did not expect), when I clean all open apps
it also shuts down my clock app. Which is really bothering me since Alarm does not work when app is not running.
I could just leave clock app opened in the apps menu, but it's annoying since I usually close the apps I don't currently use.
So my question is: What can I do to keep Google Clock running in the Background when i close it from recent apps? I have in mind feature that, for example, Facebook app has; that keeps you updated on notification even when you close it.
And that I don't forget to mention... There isn't any option to set Google clock as a default app on the default apps menu in settings.
I really don't want to flash ROM again just because of the stupid clock so if there is any solution I will be very grateful to share it with me.
I would guess use a Root Explorer and change it from a user app to a system app. I'm a Samsung noob, though, so I could be wrong.

OK i figured out that if I disable xposed, app stays opened. Anyone else experienced that issue with having xposed installed? I also find out that it's preventing Hangouts and several other apps to run in background as well, so I can't get any notifications.
You could install xposed (if not already done) and download an app called App Settings. There you can set the app to be permanently running and/or hide it from the recent apps list.
Also, I don't think making it a system app will change anything as system apps, with a few exceptions, can also be closed from the recent apps just like user apps.
Edit: Just read you have xposed already installed. So just do as I said first, this way you can continue using xposed aswell as the clock app.

S7 edge alarm icon

I have read and tried everything, nothing seems to make the alarm icon in my notification bar go away.. It's driving me CRAZY! Can someone please help?
Delete all your alarms in click app. Doesn't work? Try deleting the data for the clock app under application manager in system settings. Then reboot. Still doesn't fix it. Flash your firmware again or factory reset.

You have no active alarms set up? No scheduled ones?
If I disable my daily scheduled alarm the icon disappears immediately.
I've deleted the alarm app I had and also cleared the cache and data for the regular clock app.. Nothing worked.

Are you sure it's not the stop watch or timer icon from clock app? Maybe you turned that on by mistake? Try a factory reset from settings before flashing firmware. Faster and easier but not as clean.

What "alarm app"? You aren't talking about the built in Samsung alarm clock?
Sounds as if this 3rd party app you installed screwed something up.
Do you have a screenshot of the Samsung alarm clock?
Try setting an alarm through the default Samsung app and see if a different icon pops up or it just stays the same. If it stays the same let the alarm go off then turn it off when it prompts you.

Yeah, it's a weird issue man. We're you using a third party alarm app at some point? Do your alarms still work like normal? Pandora is a infamous app that causes an issue like this, do you have that installed?
Also check through all audio apps like Tunein Radio which could potentially cause this. Also delete any clock or audio related widgets from the home screen.

Yes at one point I was using a 3rd party alarm app. I'll go through all my apps and see if I can find out what's causing it. I'll let you know what I find.
