I have the latest Fresh rom installed on my EVO with the vanilla lock + vanilla clock. I use my phone as an alarm clock and used it for the first time this morning since installing Fresh. I use the alarm that is included with the htc flip clock widget. When the alarm went off this morning, I used the slider and the alarm would not turn off. It kept going off until I force closed the clock application.
Is there a way to get the vanilla lock screen to turn off the HTC alarm clock? I suppose I can use a 3rd party alarm clock, but I would prefer to use the one included with the phone.
Thanks!
One of the vanilla lock tweaks you can download from the fresh updater includes the correct clock for vanilla. I think it's vanilla lock +clock-wordclock or something like that.
Indeed...do not use the HTC clock. Use the vanilla clock from the updater.

Thank you gentlemen. I do believe I am sorted.
even with the fresh updater, i am unable to get this to install, does anyone have the .zip?
You might have to do it manually in recovery. I think that's how I did it when fresh/dc and clockwork weren't playing nicely with each other.

Ok, so for those of us who hate the the Sense lockscreen and removed that abomination, i came up with a workaround for the alarm. This is my first time attempting to help the community, please be easy on me
So here's the situation, i removed the Sense lockscreen so i could have the vanilla android lockscreen (more useful). Two problems arised:
1. The lockscreen is transparent, and honnestly i don't mind, but i know some of us don't like it
2. The 1st alarm (i.e. when the screen is locked) cannot be dismissed, since it is tied with the Sense lockscreen, so we would have to wait for the reminder with the screen unlocked, or set the alarm one minute ahead so we can dismiss it when it goes off again...
As you can see, that's not a very convenient solution, so i thought of an alternative and it worked it's pretty straight forward as it involves removing the htc clock app and reinstalling the DeskClock.apk.
Here's what i did:
1) went in root manager and removed HtcClockWidget.apk and ClockWidget.apk
2) installed DeskClock.apk (included below)
3) restarted the phone
There you have it, the stock android clock may not be as cool as the htc one, but it gets the job done and takes care of the "1st-alarm-in-the-morning-waking-up-the-whole-house-because-it-wont-shut-up" thing!
Hope it helps!
hey - thanks for that. Same thing happened to me (woke up the whole house!) so this is great.
does the DeskClock take care of the transparent lockscreen as well?
Or just install a 3rd party alarm app from the market
I use "alarming"
Does the aosp Deskclock app have a timer function yet? Because that's yet another issue for me xD

Unfortunately no timer. The only thing i miss about the htc alarm is the way you could set the time.

It doesn't take care of the transparency, but i can live with that. I guess we have to wait until some talented dev figures out a way to fix this
I want to make baked 1.2 a senseless rom but every time I take out the sense related stuff, I'm left without an alarm clock, how do I get the google or aosp or whatever it's called alarm clock in its place? Anyone have the .apk?
I have searched but can't find answer.
Im running DC3.5 which is great but I can't find how to set an alarm. Where is the widget that included alarm and world time? I keep the phone on my nightstand in landscape mode but can no longer do that since the clock app is missing. And yes, ive tried the digital clock app/widget from the market and I do not like it.
Thanks.

Should be the HTC Clock widget aka the flip clock with weather. If its missing you might need to reflash DC. I've flashed DC several times and it was always there.

Im running beautiful widgets and have always been able to assign the htc clock/alarm widget to open when tapping on the clock. I also no longer have the app "clock" in my app list.

I stumbled upon it yesterday. It's in the menu as "Desktop Clock".
You most likely have them banned in DConfig. That allows you to see the vanilla lockscreen instead of the HTC default lockscreen.
Is it just me or does it seem kinda like a PITA that you cant turn an alarm off unless you have the desk clock open? I dont keep the desk clock open unless i have my phone plugged in over night, sometimes i forget my charger if im staying at a friends house and need an alarm on, the only way i figured out how to turn it off is by rebooting the phone.... is there another way? or maybe a setting i can switch so i dont have to turn the phone off?
My guess if you are using a sense rim and aosp lockscreen. You can go to the market and download alarm plus its free and works good or you can find the aosp clock apk and use it

that i honestly could not say never used it on evo on my motorola droid it worked great. I use the alaram plus that from the market it is reliable and if you still want to use the sence like colck you can use fancy widget clock from the market or here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853832 and link the aosp clock or alaram plus clock to it.
Hi
I am running Lee droid 7.4 but previously I was running an AOSP build.
It had a feature in the alarm clock where you could select random and it would play a random MP3 when the alarm went off. Does any one know what alarm this is? I think it was the standard AOSP alarm. I think I was running insert coin at the time. Would it be possible to integrate it into my current rom?
