Basically I'm looking for an app or a setting or anything that will allow me to customize when and where auto rotate actually gets used. As apposed to just having it enabled or disabled.
Where I could enable auto rotate to only work in browser, games and gallery and keep disabled for everything else so it stays portrait all the rest of the time.
Could the option be coded into a kernal like the voodoo sound control app/feature or BLC?
Any help would be appreciated
This is exactly what I am using. I use tasker app for that. Get it from the market. It can do much more than just this.

+1, I am using tasker for that too but it doesn't really tie in the autorotate to the apps themselves, but rather it enables/disables auto-rotate based on the apps. This means that I cannot specific auto-rotate to work only with, eg gmail but not other apps. I can only turn auto-rotate on when gmail is launched. So other apps will also auto-rotate so long as gmail is running
Try smart rotator. Its free on market.

My alarm app randomly stopped working earlier. Found fix for the alarm issue that worked at least on my rooted phone. Went into titanium backup (free version), found the app "[ALARMS] clock..." and pressed it. I selected defrost and voila, the clock app was back in the app drawer, for now at least. Don't know why the app froze itself.

Are you S-OFF?
Are you rooted?
I believe he is.

Uh no.
Clock App is missing. That means the widget doesn't work as it once did. No app, nothing for the widget to call.
Look at ALL the other posts around the forums from people with same issue.
Even the phone has the clock app grayed out in the all apps list and is listed as 0 bytes. HTC has acknowledged the problem. So it is a biggie indeed. Glad it works for you however, but mine and many others do not.

No need for the attitude, I was unaware it was this type of issue, I thought it was just the app not showing up in the app drawer. Are you not rooted?

Attitude was only in response to your shrugging off my problem as user error. I've been banging my head against the wall with this issue for the last week. Even more infuriating is that I took the time to do a factory reset and that was not a permanent solution.
Anyway, no I am not rootedand I'm not going that direction either as I am a corporate user and need to keep the phone stock.

Well all I can do is laugh then. I didn't take your clock away, I didn't tell you to do a factory reset. Like I said, I mistook it as a different situation. My clock app doesn't show up in GB either, but the app still worked, so actually I was trying to help and you be a ****. So Cheers!

The clock app goes away completely for most. Widget doesn't respond and no app in the drawer. If you go into applications in settings it is grayed out. If you had an alarm set before the app disappearing, it goes off as scheduled repeatedly with no way to access the app to change it.
However using my method stated in op fixes this issue for me at least. It does require root though.

See I just thought it was the literal clock widget missing from the app drawer, but the clock still worked.. cos that's what happened to me in GB, the clock works fine alarms and all but no app in app drawer, only way to access it is by clicking the clock on the home screen weather widget.
did you by chance delete the htclockscreen.apk? this has been known in the past to not be able to turn off the alarm. but I could be way off.

No, just running a rooted version of the stock rom with some bloat removed. The problem with the alarm clock is present in the official ota Rom though. For some reason, the clock app freezes itself and I just unfroze it.

Hi I hate the stock alarm tone and I use the google now to set my alarm but then I have to go into settings and change the tone it defeats the purpose of the voice activation. So I am using AOKP M6 right now and in the future I will be using the aokp jb from when it gets out of alpha stages so can anyone help?
Edit: I see that it is in the build.prop it says alarm=then the name of the alarm.ogg. so if I change it to buzzer_alarm.ogg then it will work? I don't want to f anything up
no one knows how to do this? Really ?
I've never actually changed the sound of the alarm on my phone, but if the location of the alarm file is indeed where you say; you could create a nandroid backup, change the alarm tone, and if it fails/breaks something, restore from your backup.

Lol. Just use a dang third party alarm app. Alarm Clock Extreme is awesome. And of course you can change alarm sounds. Easy fix and better than the system alarm. Been using it for years.

I read plenty of comments about deep sleep and people only wasting 2 percent better life over extended periods. However my phone doesn't do this. When I check cpuspy, it does say that it's time is spent in deep sleep but it still waste a sizeable amount. How can I make sure that it enters that energy saving state? And could apps be waking the phone on its own?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
it depends on your setup. yes, apps wake the phone on their own. anything that works in the background can wake your phone, f you have lots of apps with notifications especially.
Would weather interfere with that? I'm running cna and have it on my lock screen. I take it refreshing automatically could do that? Also Google location services?

yes, even widgets that automatically update.
Apps that needs to automatically refresh usually has wake lock. Including built in weather widget

So deactivation of weather, Google, and taking off Facebook and Twitter refresh intervals should solve that?

only uninstalling facebook will help, itll run in the background even if no notifications are set or even if never used. use the browser for facebook, its as good as the app. facebook is a known bad app.

The app is so understated in this thread! This app is seriously gorgeous. The UI makes me so happy and what's great is you can set different themes for each section of the app ie: alarm, clock, timer/stop watch.
DID I MENTION CLOUD SYNCHING?! yeah if you have multiple devices the notifications, alarms, and themes all sync across devices. Hit snooze on your phone your tablet goes on snooze as well. Kill the alarm from your tablet and the phone does the same thing. Set an alarm on one and it gets automatically pushed to the other device.
The alarm options have different things you can do to turn the alarm off such as shake, puzzle solving, or pattern tracing, and math (I personally hate doing math in the morning) although those features, along with the theming and syncing options are premium, at the moment everything is unlockable by referring friends to the app or with an in app purchase. I pulled the trigger and spent the 2 dollars.
This app has replaced default clock app and imo is the beat clock app out there atm.

Wow, this alarm really is nice. Usually I'm against people spamming their referral links, but I'll make an exception in this case. It's a thoughtful way to get the paid features for free, and this is something that deserves to be shared, regardless of the referral system. Thanks op!
I really like the UI of this app, looks so sexy

One problem, it sucks as an alarm! It woke me up half an hour early today. 4:00 a.m. vs 4:30 a.m. is a big freaking difference. I did another test and again it went off half an hour early. I also had the ramp up set for only 5 seconds, but it was almost a minute before I could hear anything. It's beautiful, but &$#@ed up.

Come to think of it, the alarm tone was wrong too. How could it have been so off? The only setting that was right was the day of the week.

On the alarm you set up, un-check "smart rise". Read the info, it clearly states it will start waking you up 30 minutes early.
Not the app's fault, user error.

One hell of a nice alarm.
I shared it on Google+ last night and within ten hours I had thirty referrals and got all the paid features unlocked for free. Very smart way of advertising if you ask me.
Works across both devices very well and has dashclock and daydream support. I never thought I'd replace alarm clock xtreme so quickly but I have.
Go give it a try.
Even works on x86.
couldnt it be made such that it replaces the inbuit clock app??
Apparently own custom sounds aren't possible?
Nice looking and easy to use though.
Very cool looking!
