[Q] Galaxy S alarm clock/timer/stopwatch on G2

Hey guys,
I had been using the samsung vibrant for a few months until yesterday when i got the update and my phone was bricked in the process, i decided to go to the tmobile store and pick up the G2 and just sell the vibrant they are sending me for replacement. So far I am more than happy with the g2 except i do miss a few programs/options of the vibrant.
the main program i miss is the all in 1 super easy alarm clock, timer stopwatch from my vibrant. I am just wondering if anyone knows if its possible to get that apk from a vibrant rom and put it on the g2. And if its possible can someone help me get it?
thanks alot

Sounds like the clock app from sense UI. A stopwatch app just like it is in the market. don't recall the name of the top of y head.

would said alarm work with googles voice action "set alarm to.."?

Attached is the stock clock from T959UVJI6 (the latest update from T-Mobile). I have no idea if it will work so don't complain to me if it breaks something

Well I guess that woulda been too easy....
it wont let me install it. Im guessing with root i could push it over but its not working as it is.
thanks for the help tho gravis

[R] Modifications to .apks

I know enough to root/fix my phone when I inevitably break it due to tweaking but little to nothing (mostly nothing) about theming or writing/editing apps.
So I'd like someone with such knowledge to help me out with something. In Handcent and some other messaging apps have the option to vibrate only when the phone is on silent as an option. I'd like this option written into the default mms.apk or some instructions/tutorial or something else I can monkey around with to do it myself.
In addition though not really a high priority, I'd like a way to possibly change the Desk Clock.apk so it will instead open Winamp instead of the default music player app. Or again, some kind of tutorial that I can end up figuring it out myself. Not important at all but I like to leave Desk Clock on while at work and it would just eliminate some extra clicks for me.
Thank you in advance for your time and all the work everyone has done on these themes and developing <3
EDIT: Also is it possible to update the BIOS animation .zips to be flashable in CWM3, I knew some people were asking about it but I'm not sure what ended up happening to that.

Bumping after a day.

Questions about s3 running CM10

I am new to the whole flashing roms thing but managed to get cm10 on my phone. I have a few questions and also would like to know if there is a better rom. First question is why when I hold the home button there is no task manager just where I can switch to different apps? Second are these apps all running and draining my battery? Third is there a rom with a better camera app? I really liked the stock camera app that came with the phone but I know I can't get that? Another question is why can't I set the double home tap in cm10? I'd like that for voice search if there's a way. Last question I have is, is there a rom that is like the stock one that came with my phone but runs jelly bean? I know touchwiz has a lot of bloadware but I liked the overall options it had (camera app, task manager built into app switcher, etc). Thanks for all the help and sorry if I've posted in the wrong place I'm just looking for help.

1) The task manager is part of TouchWiz (samsung twist on Android) and not part of the original android os. As far as I can tell, cyanogenmod tries to get close to clean android as possible.
2) When you hold the home button and see a list of apps, like ios, those are list of recently opened apps. They may or may not be running. In most cases its best to just leave it. Task managers, clearing ram, etc all of those don't really work. You can read/search why it doesn't. In short, you kill it, you either need to load it, or it loads by it self again (services)
3) Try looking for a better replacement for camera in the play store? Not really sure what you mean by better.
4) that's one thing I don't like about android; it doesn't have the ios activator identical. You can hold the menu button and it opens search. You can set another action with the menu button in CM10 by going to settings>system>hardware keys
5) I have personally tried a note ii and Galaxy S3 sprint port by the same dev. I'm on mobile so I won't be able to link you. Search for it
Best of luck

Nooby to nooby lol...I was just going to try that cm10 rom but seeing what you wrote not sure I want too at this time but I think the current Rom I am using may be something you will like an enjoy..it's pretty much how the phone was stock.
All the options you asked about are still there, it's is just a bit more cleaned up and seems to run faster over stock, as of now I don't see any issues yet.
The link for the rom is below, make sure you back up and follow the op installation instruction, as this stuff is very confusing lol
Hope this helps

Custom ROM with whitelist feature.....

Is there a custom rom out that allows a "Call Blocking" mode, with a whitelist feature?
The stock Galaxy S3 from AT&T has a call blocking option, which is toggle on or off, and within that, you can choose to whitelist certain contacts, so for example, my phone has call blocking turned in at night, but yet certain work people can ring my phone no matter what, my family, etc.
That's the basic piece that would be awesome. To make it beyond perfect, having the option to let text sounds, email sounds, and phone sounds come through for a designated contact would be the icing on the cake.
It's the one feature I've missed from my old Blackberry, the sound profiles and the "exception" list was above and beyond great.
Thanks,
10k

AW: Custom ROM with whitelist feature.....
Not a custom ROM but an App (needs root though). Give LBE Security Manager a shot. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422479

This is also the reason why I've stuck with AT&T's stock firmware for so long. I wanted to try out Rogers' stock firmware on my i747, but I wanted to know know if there is a way to tell what bloatware comes in each carrier released version. I'm just being told that Rogers has less bloatware than AT&T, but I have no way of telling how much less bloatware as I want to get good battery life without the device being unstable. Custom ROMs no longer interest me unless its something that adds features from the Note2.
I'm trying to look for the APK file that you wanted that you can play with it from the stock ROM I had extracted earlier.

That's what I've been doing too. I've tried quite a few ROM's over the time I've had Android devices, but that one feature is something I actually really appreciate having.
I am currently using the stock AT&T ROM on my device, rooted it, and went nuts with root uninstaller (a few times a little too nuts, but CWM saved the day). It's running well, but I do miss how great some of those custom rom's do with battery life and speed.

Instead of looking for a ROM, why not simply install an app like touch pal contacts that had option for both white listing and black listing.

I actually haven't found one that does what I want, cleanly anyway. I'll try your suggestion out.

If you are looking at AOSP roms you will need to look at the Play Store or some mods. A couple mentioned here are not bad but like you said, they may not be as "easy" as what you want. You can always try some customized ROMS based off the SGS3 stock ROM. I have tried one or two with the Blocking Feature (maybe more but since I have only recently started using it I didn't really look for it).
