I've searched the forums and Google and can't find an answer.
Can I change the default alarm app that comes up when I press the alarm button on the clock/dock screen in CM7? If so, how?
I'll give you a great big "THANKS" if you can answer this one.

If none answered your question that means that they don't know, and probably are not interested in investigating any further, u know how to use google?

Reading this tells me that u probably need root since it calls for hidden function "setScreenState" , but i am just a noob at this so don't listen to me.

If you can access paid apps, search for "screen off". I never had to use the power button to off the phone anymore

ur welcome sorry i cant help any further i dont have the sgs yet so i cant experiement to find out for u
sadly, as of THIS point in time, what you are asking for is impossible.
The best alternative is Widgetlocker, but since you don't want that, there is no solution.
Hi,
many thanks @all!
For now, I will attempt to survive

Search for Lock Screen Widget in Market. But Only Android 2.2.

Request: is it possible to create a widget button for "recent apps/lock the screen"?
Good evening,
Im just wondering is it possible to create a widget button to activate "recent app" and "lock the screen" for a stock XPS. Like the ones in Apex Launcher?
Thank you.
the answer is in your question.. as you know "apex" and "nova" launchers (&many others) can create this feature.. also i think if you do a good research in the market you can found it..
Music station everyone need a request????

yea i know but i dont want to use any launchers at all.
I also did some research but havent found any, the closest one ive found is the one that actually lists all the recent apps on the HS as a widget.
I was looking for the "button one"
but ill keep trying in the mean time.

I set alarms a lot on the fly by using voice commands like "remind me to check food in 7 minutes" or "set alarm for 10 minutes". The problem I'm having is each time I create an alarm, I have to go into the alarm settings and change things like alarm tone, smart alarm >> off, etc. I can't change the defaults, I can only change one time single alarm settings, the defaults are always the same, "Walk in the forest alarm" alarm tone, and smart alarm >> on.
With my Nexus S 4G, I use to be able to press the menu button in the clock app and click a "settings" option which allowed me to change defaults but not on my Galaxy S III, the only options here are "sort by time" and "delete".
The section of the phone where the alarms are listed is in the Clock app. If there's simply no way to change the defaults I'm ok with installing a 3rd party app so long as I can create alarms via voice commands since I use it often as a timer for little things like 10 minutes to check laundry or 7 minutes till food is done cooking. So far I have not found an app that can replace the clock for settings alarms by voice command.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I did find this link which discusses this very topic, but it's old and appears to be abandoned. Unfortunately no solution was found: http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s3/584055-stock-alarm-clock-default-ring-tone.html
I'm not sure if linking to other sites is frowned upon so please don't eat me
Anyone have any 3rd party suggestions for a voice enabled alarm clock?

Ok I think I finally found the information I've been looking for, will report back after testing: http://smallbusiness.chron.com/set-up-android-clock-work-voice-actions-31627.html
In case the site goes down, this is a quote taken from step 2. "Select an alarm clock app from the list that supports the "Set Alarm" voice action. Alarm Clock Xtreme, Gentle Alarm and Alarm Clock Plus all support Voice Action functions for Gingerbread, Android's 2.3 update."
Did you test these apps????
I was so glad to see smn mention this annoying problem with Samsung divises but you didnt come back to tell us if these apps work with the voice commands.
If you have any news, please inform.

Oh hey just saw this post. I haven't tested any of these programs I'm afraid. I started using custom ROM's shortly after this post and this hasn't been an issue with AOSP. However I have recently gone back to a Touchwiz ROM due to the fact that AOSP ROM's for the galaxy s3 are rife with bugs and lack any real benefit other than having the latest version of android and occasionally an exclusive feature or two (after half a year of flashing my ass off, AOSP is simply not worth it unless you're using a nexus device).
After looking for a solution again, I stumbled on this old thread and I'm surprised to see that this clear design flaw still hasn't been resolved without using a 3rd party program, fortunately these programs reportedly work with google now (google search) so I'll look around, test some out and report back when I find a winner.
I know the app Gentle Alarm is reported to work as stated here: http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s3/584055-stock-alarm-clock-default-ring-tone.html though I'm confident others like Alarm Clock Xtreme and Circle Alarm (which is free) should work as well.
-------------------
Update: Been using Gentle Alarm, all better now. It's a pay app, so I'd recommend trying out Circle Alarm first. I don't generally like having to install 3rd party apps to use instead of default ones but It's a small app and it seems to be fine. I'll report back if I notice any battery issues.
Hi Guys,
I've checked a lot of previous Q&A threads asking how to disable the default Smart Alarm feature that comes with the standard ICS clock. There weren't any helpful solutions. Does anyone here know how to disable the smart alarm as a default for new alarms I create?
I know how to go into each alarm one by one and disable it after I create the alarm. However, I would like to make it a default to have the smart alarm disabled whenever I create a new alarm instead of changing it manually.
It's really annoying when I set an alarm with Google Now and I have my alarm go off 3 minutes before it has to with a creepy notification ringtone going off.
Thanks in advance everyone!
Anyone?
I'm on CM10 and can't remember how it was on stock, but can you press menu while in your alarms screen and bring up settings?

Nope, it only has the option to sort or delete on the main menu. You would think they would have an overall settings selection on the main menu like every other app lol.

Samsung really managed to make a lot of things more complicated and buried deeper than they need to be, that's for sure.
Sorry, not sure in your case!
Looks like I'm SOL
