I have searched for this a very long time.
Eventually I threw in the towel and bought a program.
Now I'm using pTravelAlarm for quite some years now. Fully adjustable.
There are some freeware alarmclocks (like Klaxon), but I like pTravelAlarm more. (Just a matter of taste )
I use G-Alarm, its really great and has a slew of options for you to choose from.

Hello all....
Those of you familiar with Beautiful Widgets will understand my question...
Previously with Gingerbread roms on my SGS, there was an actual Alarm Clock app that you can hit and it would go straight into the alarm clock.
With Beautiful widgets, you can map the "Time Tap" to open up the Alarm clock, which to me was a great feature.
Now, with ICS on this thing, I can't find a way to go into the Alarm clock directly anymore... I have to go into the Clock app, then hit 'Set Alarm' Not a big deal, but kind of redundant and annoying.
Oddly enough, if you use the stock 'Analog Clock' Widget on your home screen, it does exactly what I want when you tap it.. it goes straight to alarms.
Am I missing something? Can I not get into alarms automatically with one tap somehow the way the Analog widget can?
In beautiful widget settings, go under advanced and select there which app should be opened when you tap the time part of the widget.

I already know how to do that, that wasn't my question.

Just checked and noticed the same thing, Clock is an option, but nothing for Alarm Clock.
When I tap the clock from the widget I get sent straight to alarm clock.

I think he was referring to the stock clock widget. That is what I use to get into the alarm directly. I didn't see you mention that anywhere. Be kind, anyone who replies is only trying to help you with your question.

Be kind? I don't see where i was rude...
As for mentioning it, it clearly states that in my original post that the stock widget performs this function.

Hello Greeced,
Can you please clarify your question? I think it got a bit confusing down the line.
The stock "Analog Clock" widget takes you to the alarm menu when tapping on it.
That is the only widget ICS stock offers for the clock.
The Beautiful Widgets clock widgets also have that functionality. A tap on the clock part takes you to the alarm menu.
Are you looking for a way to get into the alarm settings without a clock widget?

Beautiful Widgets only has the functionality to select which program you want to open when you click on the time or date in the settings... but no longer has the option to select inside the "Choose Application" area to select Alarm Clocks... You can select Clock, but it only takes you to the desktop clock, a further tap below the time at that point will take you into the alarms.
So in essence, what you can do with the Analog Clock widget you can no longer do with Beautiful Widgets. (1 tap vs 2 to get into alarms.)
I hope thats clear.
Thanks for the clarification, but Beautiful Widgets behaves differently for me.
It behaves exactly like the stock analog widget. When I tap on the clock part it takes me straight to the alarms, not just to the desktop clock which would require another tap to get to the alarms.
I have nothing selected under super clock settings/clock settings/advanced/Time Application.

Hmm.. I'll have to try that out. I'll let you know.
EDIT: That's great! Who would have known not selecting anything works!
Thanks Pal, appreciate the help. I was going bananas.
Previously on my SGS, i had to select "clock".
Thanks a million

Im sorry for bumping but... I have the exact same problem on my nexus 4. I dont seem to be able to fimd this "super clock settings/clock settings/advanced/Time Application." setting on android 4.3. Any ideas, am I missing anything?
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

Anyone know how to change the alarm melody with the default clock app? I can change the alarm type (vibration/melody/briefing) but I cant seem to choose the melody I want like with my ring tone.
In the alarm settings, hit More, then Alarm Tone.

Hi,
I recently flashed my phone to the stock FK23 JB rom, and I'm liking all of the added features after coming from GB. However, the one thing I do not like and can't seem to figure out is this: On GB, I had the digital clock widget on my home screen that when tapped, would open the alarm/timer/stopwatch utility.
Why doesn't this behavior work in JB???? Sure, if I put a shortcut to the Clock app on one of the home screens, I can click that to get to the alarm. But why can't I use the digital (or analog for that matter) widget as a shortcut to the alarms anymore???? I don't want a shortcut to the clock or alarm on my home screen, and I don't want to have to make more than one tap or gesture to access the alarm. I want a one-tap solution to access the alarms, as I set and reset multiple alarms throughout the day.
Can someone tell me if there is something I'm missing here? Why was this feature removed, or how can I restore it? I liked having the digital clock widget act as a shortcut to the alarms. And honestly without this functionality, the digital clock is pointless because the time is already in the status bar.
Someone please enlighten me! Thank you!

I assume you mean in the notification pane? When I pull down the notification pane and tap the clock in the upper left, it takes me to a 'World Clock' popup - not the alarm.
And for the record, tapping the clock in the status bar does nothing.
Any other ideas? Why was this feature removed???
There should be a widget called "Alarm" or "simple alarm clock" widget.
When world clock pops up touch it again it opens the entire clock with alarm and everything

Or get the Go Weather app and add the 4x2 widget, tap the clock and you get access to alarm, world clock, stop watch and timer.
Thanks for the replies, guys. But I was really wanting to have a 1-tap access directly to the alarm clock, without using a 3rd party app.
For the notification clock tap idea, that takes (1) a swipe to bring down the notification pane (2) a tap on the clock (3) a tap on the world clock popup (4) a tap on the Alarm tab -- way too many taps.
If I had to use a 3rd party app, I'd probably go with something with the HTC Sense design, but I have yet to find one that will take me to the Alarm. I still don't understand why the native clock widgets in Jellybean do not link to the clock app.

Fancy widget has tons of themes and you can set different areas of the widget to go different places like hour takes you to alarm by default but ive redirected mine to alarm clock plus since I use it over stock.

I have the pro version and its been a while since ive used free, but I think the only thing the free one doesnt do is allow in app downloads of themes you have to manually install them

This is pretty much exactly what I was looking for. I like the added ability to one-tap the weather to get the forecast as well. And I do believe you can download (a limited set of) themes from within the free app. Thanks again!

Cool! I haven't used the free version since I got the key as free app of the day like 20 months ago or so. It was back towards the later half of 2011 when I scored it free on amazon. I actually ended up purchasing it from the play store later after I screwed up my old amazon account.
