Thanks

Thanks for sharing your work, nice job.
[Android Software Development] captainreynolds:
Hey - is it possible to have the alarm play through the headphone jack only with this alarm clock? I have not found a single alarm clock that will easily allow me to do this - I wake up super early and don't want to bother my roommate!

UPDATE:

Oooohhh this is a BIGGIE - BE SURE TO ADD SUPPORT ASAP FOR NON-STANDARD DENSITIES! Cannot download from the market right now.
[Android Software Development] malrok37:
Hi!

ATM, this is not an existing option, but that would be worth investingating :D

Concerning densities, what is yours?

Thanks for your feedback
[Android Software Development] H89P:
Still doesn't work for me - even after the update
[Android Software Development] millerd79:
is there a way to confirm that it has found the agenda in my gcalendr?
[Android Software Development] malrok37:
I'll look into it. Just wandering, are you under ICS?

Do you mean being sure the alarm is correctly triggered?

Cause you should see the next alarm on your lock screen...

Maybe I could add something on the main screen (where the alarm list is displayed) and/or create a widget...?
[Android Software Development] millerd79:
Yes that exactly what I mean....on my phone epic touch 4g...on the lock screen it does not show the next alarm...were the alarm list is displayed would be perfect...I could never trust the app 100% to wake me up unless i knew it knew when to wake me.:)
[Android Software Development] CZroe:
The alarm built in to my Xperia PLAY does not have a timer and it routinely dismisses itself. I've watched it do it once without even making a peep and also had it quit as I am still reaching for it at least a few times. More often it quits after I pick it up, which made me to think I pressed something on the screen accidentally for the first few frustrating weeks. Now I know better. Anyway, I have exchanged the phone once already and it appears to be a problem with the design of the phone. I think it has something to do with the erratic motion sensors (noted by other users) or the magnetic relay switch responding to the vibration motor (phone unlocks when slid open).

With this in mind, I'm looking for an alarm with the following features:

A timer (no need to create and save an alarm)

A function that activates the alarm without unlocking the screen AND requires confirmation once unlocked (prevents dismissing the alarm accidentally)

An option to disable sliding the phone open to dismiss (without a pin code, sliding open often unlocks)

Does this app perform these functions? Is the author willing to add them?
[Android Software Development] malrok37:
Hi!

ATM, my application only supports existing alarms, ie alarms you set up, save, activate and so on.

If I understand your needs correctly, you would like to launch the application and, say, have it ring six hours later.

That would not be hard to do, and I would be willing to add the feature if you want.

Regarding the "overriding unlock screen", it should work as you want it to.

You may test it and give me feedback if you want ;)
[Android Software Development] rogier666:
Promising app, lots of potential, could become my default alarm app if...

Short version:

There are some bugs to kill and features to add before MRK can replace Alarms Solo on my phone. Use sounds from internal memory in case I forget to reconnect my SD card, clean up the main screen because grey text on a grey background is not a good idea, one shot alarm which sounds only once if you don't set a day (now it doesn't sound at all, unless I set a day which makes the alarm recurring), and a few more things which could be improved.

I wrote a long version too.
[Android Software Development] MovieGene:
Having fun playing with this.

The agenda settings are confusing me. I was thinking it reads my calendar and based on the triggers, it can make a dynamic alarm.

But, perhaps not? Or user malfunction?

[Android Software Development] CZroe:
Thanks. I'll check it out when I get home. :) Glad to see such a responsive developer.
[Android Software Development] malrok37:
To all: I have fixed ICS agenda problems :)

First of all, thanks for your feedback :)

I've been looking at your remarks, and trying to correct bugs and add features.

I will release my next version when all is implemented!

That is exactly what the program should do.

Say you have an entry named "Day off" in your "Work" calendar, you should select this calendar, add a rule set up so that it's triggered when "Day off" appears, ringing at the time you want (or at the time of the entry)

What problem are experimenting?

What is your set up on this?
[Android Software Development] MovieGene:
I guess my confusion is from after I set up the entry, the alarm list shows a different time instead of the triggers time, and if I select it and press edit, the previous rules are missing.

Thanks,

Gene

Sent from my HTC HD2 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk
[Android Software Development] malrok37:
Ok, I get your problem...

You will see the list of rules you have set after you have selected your calendar again. The application displays the list of rules set to the selected calendar, so as long as you have selected no calendar, nothing is displayed.

Concerning the time displayed in the alarms list, it is the time defined in the first tab of the alarm. Should you have set no days in that list, but have some calendar rules defined, I understand your confusion when you see a sidplayed time that has no link to what you wanted to have...

I am planning to modify the display of this list, so I will take your concern in consideration :)

Thanks for your feedback
[Android Software Development] algarues:
How does this app perform in term of memory consumption and allowing deep sleep on the phone while being on the background?

For instance on my phone things like gentle alarm normally suck a good 10% of battery overnight.

So, since your app will be running on the background all night long, please

try to maximize its energy efficiency.

I will try and compare in the following days.

If you can consistantly claim a better battery performance for your alarm app, it will make it a sure hit.
[Android Software Development] malrok37:
I did not compare the battery consumption with another app, or with a phone MRKAlarm-free, but I could tell you that I entirely rely on system alarms, which should mean that the battery should not be affected.

The only part that could drain your battery is the option to have an alarm when battery gets low, as this part consists on a service...

Should you try it, I would like to have your feedback :)
[Android Software Development] H89P:
Hey, just downloaded the update.

And I don't want to demotivate you but the agende still doesn't work for me.

The problem occurs on both of my devices. I just sent you a report from my Prime.

And here is the logcat of my Sensation: http://db.tt/SrWLkddT

I hope this helps a little bit
[Android Software Development] malrok37:
WTF :confused:

I tested and that worked :'(

The error you are getting is when you click on the "Select an agenda" preference, right?

I guess I have some more work to give...
[Android Software Development] H89P:
Correct,...
[Android Software Development] malrok37:
Hi

I added a few fixes which I hope will fix your issue.

Should it still be the same, I also added some logs which may help me understand what goes on, so please send me a logcat
[Android Software Development] H89P:
Hey malrok37,

you doing great work here, that has do be said.

And this time there is something positive to say concerning our/my problem.

We are half way done!!

Setting the agenda now works without any problem - on the prime,...

so here is the logcat from my Sensation

logcat

I'm not a expert but I think the problem i due to Sense. Once I had a AOSP ICS Rom installed on my Sensation an the Agenda worked. Now I'm back to my favourite Rom Mike's ARHD and it doesn't work.

It is the new HTC 3.30. Base -> the Release Candidate

with stock Kernel

Hope this helps you a little bit.

Thank you for your great work and your support
[Android Software Development] malrok37:
Hi,

Thanks for your feedback (and liking my work :p )

Glad to hear things are solved on ICS.

Concerning your other problem, I think I spotted a solution, it will be applied in the next release (hopefully tonight)
[Android Software Development] captainreynolds:
FYI my screen density was 210. Not sure if the app was updated, will check now
[Android Software Development] malrok37:
Hi,

Not sure if it will work...

I will adapt it for next version ;-)
[Android Software Development] H89P:
That's great to hear,

but the thing is, just got the next problem. Perhaps you already got the message.

When the Alarm was about to ring, there was a FC. It was set up as agenda.
[Android Software Development] malrok37:
More work for me :'(

I found a bug yesterday which I'm working on, maybe that's what you spotted...

Did you post a report?
[Android Software Development] H89P:
Yes thats's what i've done

Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 with XDA Premium
[Android Software Development] H89P:
So with the latest update we went a step further and one back :)

the good thing is that selecting the agenda now works with my Sensation :)

the other good thing is that the Alarm by agenda work on my prime too

but: my problem no is that I can't acces the Trigger Rules anymore neither on the prime nor on my Sensation

I can tell that the alarm with agenda works cuase the last on on my prime was stored so i just selected the calender, but wasn't able to change the rules.

I've sent you a report throught the market ( from Prime)

and here is the logcat form my Sensation
[Android Software Development] malrok37:
Glad to hear some things are getting better :)

I will look into the next problem.

Thanks for your feedback
[Android Software Development] malrok37:
This should be fixed :)
[Android Software Development] efox29:
First I'd like to say that I think your idea of this kind of alarm clock is good (its not better than Gentle Alarm tho), but you have potential.

Second, I find the app rather confusing to use. To be honest, I do not trust it to wake me up for work simply because I find it difficult to use with the agenda thing. Which is a GREAT idea. Its really the only reason for me even having this app.

Third, the ideal alarm app, would be similar to what you have going on but a bit more polished in terms of ease of use and understanding. But what would REALLY set it apart (and this is something I wanted to do myself, but never got around to ), is to automatically set the alarm from Google calendars.

What I mean, is if you create a work schedule through Google calendars, you can tell the app, to set an alarm x mins before first entry for that. Which I believe that feature on the current version is broken, because I can't figure that out, with the wording to describe it. So if you want to change your alarm, its as easy as either changing it manually in app, or just changing your google calendar. So you can set a years worth of alarms just through Google calendar.

That in my opinion would be an awesome ideal calendar. The less times people have to touch their phone to do something because the app will just "know" what to do, the better. Which is why i love Tasker, because it saves me so much phone touching.

Those are my thoughts about your app. You can take it or not, its really up to you. But so far, good job :)
[Android Software Development] malrok37:
Hi,

I'd say what you want is already possible with the application.

What you need to do is create a rule linked to your "work" agenda

Then, wether your rules are global or not, you may select the first option as "Any undefined entry" or "Entry containing string"

The first one will be triggered if none of the rules defined with the second option should fit.

Then you may select the "Will ring given time before entry" option, and define the time prior to your calendar entry's date when the alarm should ring.

I guess you may not be the only one having trouble with setting an alarm, I should probably try and write a user manual...

Thanks for your feedback anyway, I will take it in consideration and try to simplify things a bit :p
[Android Software Development] hypertyper:
Bug report: After setting the default alarm properties and adding an alarm of that default, I can disable the alarm in the UI but the symbol for an active alarm from the bar never disappears and when I close and reopen the UI it shows the alarm as active again.

It seems that alarms added after setting new default values can't be permanently disabled. I deleted the alarm and then I was able to not have any alarms set. The alarms I had previously added seem to work like they used to.

Having a working default is really important imho so it's a great step but it seems something went wrong in the process of adding it.

Cheers
[Android Software Development] gszeman:
This is the reason I downloaded this app, and I too am having trouble with setting up the agenda. When I select the option "will ring given time before entry" it appears that it only gives you an option to set a time for the alarm to trigger? So for example, it is currently 11:52pm, in my Google calendar I have my work schedule for the month and I would like to have it set the alarm 1 hour before "Work". I set the agenda to my Google calendar, the string to look for as "Work", I click the "will ring given time before entry" option and it asks me to set a time, and the current time, 11:52pm is displayed. What would I set this to if I work at 8am tomorrow, 10am on Thursday, and Noon on Friday and want the alarm to be set for 1 hour before each instance?

Thank you for your work and development!
[Android Software Development] malrok37:
Hi,

In fact, it displays a TimePicker which I use to get not the time when you want it to ring, but the time before your calendar it will ring.

Should you set it to 1:01, it will ring 1 hour and 1 minute before your calendar entry.

However, I understand your miscomprehension as you may have the "AM/PM" button displayed.

It works better in French as we do not have this notion...

Whatever, it will be much better in a few days as I am rebuilding the cosmetics totally, and will take your comments in consideration ;)

Thanks for your feedback!
[Android Software Development] malrok37:
Thanks for your feedback, I will try to fix it for next version too ;)
[Android Software Development] gszeman:
Awesome! Makes sense now...I love the idea, thanks for your work on this app, I also love that you're so involved with all the feedback. This is definitely going to be useful for me!

Thanks again,

[Android Software Development] likwidoxigen:
I really like the app so far. CM7.1 Evo4g and it sets the phone to silent pretty reliably, but it doesn't turn the sound back on after the end of the silent hours passes. Am I just setting it up wrong?
[Android Software Development] malrok37:
Hi,

What is the set up for your quiet hour(s)?

Thanks for your feedback
[Android Software Development] likwidoxigen:

Newest market version: Nothing works on Evo 4g with Cyanogen 7.1.

First alarm doesn't ring (even in regular volume mode) but the second one does. App does not put phone into sleep nor remove phone from sleep mode.

What logs can I give to help?
[Android Software Development] malrok37:
Hi

Thanks for your feedback!

I would need your alarms.xml file and a logcat of the execution would be more than helpful.

I can pm you my email adress if you prefer.
[Android Software Development] likwidoxigen:
I'll try and get a logcat today when the alarm is scheduled but here's what I've done that I think may have fixed it.

First: The issue seems to be somewhere in the gui. If I set the alarm to "Will ring given time before entry" and then try and put in some number of hours or minutes it will not store that setting. It simply clears it out to 0 and the alarm says it will go off at 1700 which is 5pm when the event is scheduled.

When I go to define Start time of quiet hours it seems to set properly and displays the time underneath "Start time of quiet hours" but if I click on it it doesn't pre-fill that box with the time.

If I export an alarms.xml make the modification manually to ruleringmode="3" rulehour="0" and RuleMinute="25" and import it the alarm says that it will go off at 16:35 as expected and shows 00:25 under "alarm time".

I think that if I import a manual alarms.xml instead of trying to build it with the gui everything will work fine, I'm trying that today.
[Android Software Development] malrok37:
Well that is a bug report :eek:

Thanks a lot for your help!

I will try to figure out what is going on, I am guessing given your feedback that you will have no error in the logcat...

Indeed the time set before or after an entry is initialized every time you re-open it, this will be fixed tonight!

Thanks again for your support :)
[Android Software Development] likwidoxigen:
Ok so when I go to set the "Alarm Time" with the "Will ring given time before entry" setting the 25min from my imported properly. And now when I click on "alarm time" to set it, the 25 loads into it. However if I change it to any other minute or hour and hit "validate" it does not update. I can only change it by importing an XML File.

I don't see any errors in logcat.
[Android Software Development] malrok37:
Hi!

This should work now :)
[Android Software Development] likwidoxigen:
Just got newest market version and there's a very annoying bug where you can't cancel an alarm for the full minute while it's supposed to go off. i.e. I have an alarm that goes off at 4:35 and if I hit stop at 4:35:01 the alarm will go back off and I have to hit "Stop" for a full minute and at 4:36 the alarm will not start up again. I have to run to work but I wanted you to know.
[Android Software Development] malrok37:
Hi

Google Calendar integration not working?

Wake-Up-Problems

Hi!

I´ve tested the app and the setup was done. I´ve sheduled the clock to use a calendar with some rules to wake me every day because of shift work. But after locking the device to do test the alarms I found out that the app can´t wake the device properly in most cases. The alarm starts after waking the device.

My setup:

OS: CM 10.2 (4.3)

HW: I9300 (S3)

Maybe there is a little bug that prevents the app from waking the device properly? It would be great if someone could help me. Because this is the only app that supports this great way to use a calendar as a source.

Remain calm. Let's see if we can get you fully functional.

First, let's upgrade that HBOOT. That by itself might fix you up, if it'll flash through the bootloader. Try the PC36IMG.zip attached to this post. It's for HBOOT 2.15.

If it flashes successfully, it should reboot the bootloader for you. If it doesn't, choose the fastboot option that does, and when it comes back up, try getting into recovery. If you can get into recovery, the next thing you should do is retire CWM and flash RA-supersonic.
