installed klaxon 2 on hd2 after updating rom to 3.14 from htc website. the programs stops after giving an error reading

klaxon.exe

missingmethodexception

file or assembly name

'Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=969db8053d3322ac' or one of its dependencies was not found.

at klaxon.program.main(string[] args)

can anyone suggest a remedy..

please please??

klaxon used to work perfectly earlier..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] purezerg:
same thing here. klaxon keeps crashing, i'm resorting to go back to my old school ptravel alarm.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] rampage101:
Any ideas to the above anyone? Or an alternative to Klaxon?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] chrysdm:
I get the same error - most of the time.

It used to work everytime before I installed Cookie Home Tab (CHT). Now it crashed most of the time.

Means you can't rely on the alarm going off.

I love CHT but might have to remove it to see if it work properly again after doing that. Don't really want to remove CHT.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] coyotexxx:
OK everything is skinable and great but how can I change the background of the screen?

I want to put my own JPG.

PLS don't tell me it's impossible.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ayexdulin:
it's awesome.

thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] maciejst:
Incredibly neat!

Hey just wanted to drop a line since this is the ultimate smoothest piece of work I've seen on WM6.5 so far.

I uninstalled klaxon a week ago and checked a few other options (looking for one that would have the "increasing volume" option), whereas all of them (including GAlarm) crashed my device (running S2U2 and CHT2.0).

Good job really! One of those that make sense of using WM :].
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] unvisigoth:
I have a similar problem too. If a softreset the device and then set an alarm it works flawlessly. If I try to set a second alarm (or modify the existing one) without softresetting the device vibrate twice, klaxon shows the screen for one second and then the alarm turns off. I've left all the default settings. Any idea ?

Thanks in advance
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] beaker656:
Thanks Koush, I like the improvements
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ljazzo1:
Hi Koush

i tested your Klaxon and i have to say ...it' s great !! but ....

it's possible .. if my htc is switched off, the Alarm startand i choose SNOOZE that my HTC goes back to off mode again ?

another cosmetic i found: if i set the alarm time to example: 17:05 the alarm starts few seconds later :)

is really a great application
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ArtoD2:
Awesome, would like to see some "chrome" on it, cause we like pretty things... the few posts back shown manilla like gui would be nice...

on the other hand, we have a old saying here; if it's not running, chrome it!

good work really apppreciate it!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] turt:
Hi, the app is REALLY great BUT I have a problem with the sound level after the alarm has stopped:

If I'm in Vibrate mode when the alarm sounds and I stop it, then my phone goes into Normal mode with Ringtone level at 0%. This means I have to change this level back to my usual 80% everytime the alarm has rung...

Anything you can do for this?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Unfortunately I have no idea why that would happen... especially if you have all the sensors disabled. My next release will have log everything that happens in Klaxon, so I'll be able to track down the problem after you send me one of the Klaxon Log files.

And yes, I'm working on chroming it :) almost done with the settings page. Does anyone have any screenshots of what they want the actual alarm page to look like?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] leopardone:
tried yesterday and... WOW!!!

really nice product!!!

a MUST TO HAVE in my Diamond!

already change the default time app with this with SSMaPa! :)

thx a loooooooooooooooooooooot

ps: with a countdown "plugin" I'll be able to say goodbyt to spb time ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Noam23:
You can't integrate any plugin with TF3D, so what good will such plugin make ?

And btw, once you set an alarm with SPB Time, you don't even get to see the hour that the alarm suppose to go off (in TF3D TODAY tab, that is). This is why I said goodbye to SPB Time once Klaxon came out.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Yeah, I can make it restore the volume to the original setting after the alarm is finished playing.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tampiss:
Well I think your idea of main page is cool, I would just change colors + I would add the icon with ability to enable/disable the alarm. And also by clicking on time would take you to specific alarm settings.

Well I was also thinking if it was necessary to have unlimited number of alarms. Would not be enough to have 5? Just to suit into 1 page?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Noam23:
Excellent work, Tampiss. I agree with everything you've said.

Koush, if you can, please add the option to make the alarm a "one time alarm" (meaning without a need to provide which day it should go off). Some of us get up at different hours every day, so having to choose days each time is annoying (yes I can choose all days, and then just change the hour of this alarm every day, but then the last alarm will appear all day at the TODAY screen, kind of silly. Also, if I don't want an alarm the next day, and forget to disable the alarm, it will wake me up at the hour I woke up the last day, not good).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
I put in the first round of UI changes today. More to come....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Tampiss, any suggestions how the actual "Alarm" form should look? :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tampiss:
I am at work now :-), I'll have a look at it in the evening.

According new UI, I think it looks much better than before, yet few small changes needed :-) The font weight of "name", "enable" and "days" would be better normal (not bold).

Also naming "snoze", "expire" and "delay" is too big I guess :-)

Perhaps, also good to add "frame" around time settings to make it look nicer. Is it possible?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] beaker656:
Works great, got me up this morning :p

Does anybody have any good alarm sounds to include? The stock one in my ROM is not that good.

Also, could we have an option to turn the vibrate function either on or off?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ArtoD2:
AC/DC : Hells Bells... Works like a charm... :p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Takeshi_Kintaro:
Koush,

they were by default, i.e. SNOOZE - 10 min, EXPIRE - 5 min.

Regards,
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] turt:
That would be great! :) :)

Thanks in advance!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tampiss:
Hi Koush,

One more think regarding time setting. Attached image is split into each number of the time. It is easier and quicker to set up specific time.

The time is spilt into individual number, and each number is spilt to half to enable you to set + or -.

Your setting enables to change hours and minutes, but if you have to scroll from 35 minutes to 00, it takes quite a few clicks :-). If you could split 35 to two independent fields (same with hours), it would take much less clicks to get to 00.

Is that possible?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] HansZimmer:
Thank you for the great tool ! two things: first: please change desing to manila look, that means complete design change ! Second: is it possible to choose the sound file in a more easy way ? Like other sound choos dialogs in winmobil ?

And last (but not least): What about a stop watch in your tool ? A alarm clock and stop watch in one great tool with good design would be the burner !!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] heretic:
Koush, when I snooze the alarm, for some reason the screen won't turn off. For example, when I put the phone face down, the G-Sen app switches the screen off, but Klaxon immediately switches it back on. I don't know if it's a bug or a feature, but it sure is a battery life issue. I usually snooze 5-6 times, so that means my screen stays on for about an hour. If I turn the device off with a power button, the alarm gets cancelled. Also, is it possible to suppress the standard reminder notification balloon, that shows up at the time alarm goes off?

Please address this issue in future releases.

Update: Testing new version right now, seems like the issue is fixed.

Koush, another feature request. :) Is it possible to implement an auto-snooze feature and make it user-configurable? When an alarm goes off, it snoozes automatically after X minutes of user inactivity for a period defined in alarm settings ("Snooze (Min)"). Also is it possible to get an "Unlimited" option for the "Expire" setting? Thanx in advance.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] leopardone:
LOL!

Since I'm not a knight of english language, maybe I used a "wrong" word to explain that I'd like to have a part/addon/section/whateveryouwanttocallit about countown ;)

And, btw, it's a great thing the visual integration with manila showing the hour of alarm, but not a reason of life ;)

I lived a loooooooooot without it using spb time... and now it's only a nice thing :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] qalsaleh:
This is really a great work Koush ! (version 1.0.0.28)

The UI is now much nicer.

There is still some bugs, as I was trying it for some time today and tried snoozing couple of times and putting the alarm off by shaking and also by turning the light on and was responding very will. Thereafter it stopped functioning. When the specified alarm time comes it either goes to the editing page showing the previous alarm icon and does not ring, or shows the alarm page (with snooze, off, buttons) but no sound, only vibrating twice each time. I could not set it back to function normally except after a soft reset.

As you suggested previously, a log file will be a good idea.

Thanks again for this amazing alarm.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Noam23:
Koush, it is indeed very important to give us the ability to change every digit of the hour separately, otherwise in order to add/subtract 30 minutes, we need to click on the screen 30 times (!), this in comparison to just 3 times, if we could control every digit separately.

Also, you can get rid of the AM/PM thing, and just go to a 24hour clock. Simplest design wins.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
I was able to reproduce the bug where the alarm form showed up and vibrates twice before disappearing. I'll have a fix for this soon.

Koush
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] heretic:
Koush, did you have a chance to consider one of my suggestions? Can you implement the auto-snooze feature in future releases of Klaxon?

Thank you for your work. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NisseDILLIGAF:
Nice work!!

I like this allot :D

Some bugs .. like the screen don't turn off when snoozing and I don't like the AM/PM clock, please a 24h clock like 'Noam23' also said...

Will try it out some more now...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tampiss:
Here ya go :-)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] heretic:
Koush, again, is there a way to not show standard Windows Mobile notification balloon fo the alarm? Turning it off in Sounds - Notifications is not an option, as I need it for my other notifications. Thank you.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Noam23:
Beautiful !

Tampiss, don't you think it will be preferable to add another box to the weekdays line, one that will give the option for a "one time" alarm ?, this way you don't have to think which day it's going to be tomorrow when setting the alarm. Maybe even simpler, if no day is selected, the alarm will be a "one time" alarm that will go off when the alarm hour arrives (this way there is no need to add another box).

(btw, Tampiss, I think you found the perfect work, only two days a week, and you can get up at 10:21...).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tampiss:
Noam

:-)

Well in this case, I would rather change the MAIN screen. I would allow ONLY 4 ALARMS + 1 for RUN ONCE. I think it would look good.

EDIT: updated without the AM/PM stuff :-)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Colin_ger:
this looks nice. but please without the AM/PM stuff
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ediking007:
Looking very nice, but please make "Snooze" and "Off" Buttons real 3D.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] basthet:
Please:

- correct Snoze to Snooze

- make a 24h option

- make a language option (I am willing to help with German)

- make Monday the first day of the week

Thanks and keep up this great work
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Noam23:
Good idea Tampiss, but why does the "run once" hour shows the digit boxes of the setup clock ?, do you suggest the one time alarm hour should be set from the main menu ?, isn't this too small to be touch comfortable ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tampiss:
update:

• removed PM/AM

• SUN as the last day of the week (SAT & SUN in red as weekend)

• Replaced "snoze" to "snooze"

Koush :-) are you able to do it?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Noam23:
Koush, you are playing catch up with Tampiss, right ? :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tampiss:
Yeah, I guess if you need to set "run once" alarm - it would be useless to go to set up page, because all you want to set up is the time and enable the alarm

It may be small, but I am sure Koush would fit it somehow.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] basthet:
Double post - please remove
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] basthet:
Thanks - one more thing:

Why not make it like this:

Snooze _____ min

Expire _____ min

Audio delay ____ sec

i like the idea of tabbing the time digits directly, but why then not use different, old electric alarm radio style?

You can make the "Audio delay" a bit separated: also add a button behind the file to play (for testing) or something similar.

The last of the three is neither my taste (sorry) nor offers it easy handling.

Color fade on buttons are always a bad idea, and make the snooze button bigger (waking me up always make me press only the screen without watching it) and separated. Please also add a sound feetback, when the alarm is fully closed (so you do not press the close button, but think U touched the Snooze).

What do you think:

P.S.: this is only a quick hack of tampiss!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Wolfblood:
Hi Koush,

Is it possible to set like this?

1) If the alarm have set any week day, Then this alarm is run by weekly.

2) If the alarm didn't set any week day, Then this alarm is run by once.

So we can get max. 5 weekly alarm and max. 5 run once alarm in one screen. I think this would be more flexible. :)

And make the light and shake thresholds configurable is a very good idea :)

But please also make the flip action configurable too. Maybe set how many times for flip is better. (180 degree = 1 filp, 360 degree = 2 filps). Because sometimes if you move the Diamond in horizontal move with great exertion. Diamond will feel this is a flip action :(

What did you think? :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Thanks Tampiss! All of your suggestions are doable, and I'll work on it sometime this week. Pretty busy at work this week, so I may be a little slow!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tampiss:
no probs m8...

same here, same here IoI

take your time
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] adwinp:
Is there a parameter I could pass to Klaxon to start it minimized or in the background?

Klaxon.exe /tray or something similar would be helpful.

Anyways, keep up the good work.

^.^

A.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Colin_ger:
Why?? You don't need to let it open to play the alarm
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Once you set up the alarm, you can close the Klaxon application. It will automatically start the program up at the correct time and sound your alarm. Klaxon does not need to be running for the alarm to fire (save memory!).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] roadrunner2022:
Hi Koush,

very nice and good applications. I have installed it and will try it out.

Maybe i can give you some inputs for further developments. The first points are

-) showing an icon (like file explorer) when entering a folder and the software is searching the files. e.g. when you enter the windows folder, it takes long till all files are filtered. someone can think the application hangs.

-) i miss an option to preview (or better prehear) the selected sound file

-) a seperate loudness selector would be nice. so the diamond's system sound level could be left very silent, and the wake up sound comes up loud

-) may be also a setting like rising sound level would be nice, so the sound starts very quiet and get louder and louder

-) when an alarm is set and the overview screen appears i would like to edit the alarm setting initialy by tipping on directly, not to select MENU -> EDIT

so long my first impressions

cu
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] adwinp:
Hehe, I know all that.

I want to integrate Klaxon into one of my ROMs and it'd be really nasty to have to close it with each restart of the handset.

Hence my question.

^.^
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Araldwenn:
I like Klaxon very much, and i like tampiss design a lot (agree with 24h, SUN the last day, SAT and SUN in red, in fact all his ideas :p)...

But i've got a few suggestion :

- looking at Basthet hack, i dislike the design, but i really love his idea to have different size for Snooze and Off : it prevents stopping the alarm when you just want to snooze with fingers ; and about placement, maybe a little Off on top, and a big Snooze at the bottom...

- Just a design suggestion for tampiss : for Off and Snooze, it would be wonderfull to have glassy buttons (just like tick boxes) -> it would make the whole interface look finished

BTW, you both did a great job !
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
1.0.0.29

Fixed a bug with Klaxon not properly scheduling the next alarm when an alarm fires.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Araldwenn:
Grrr ! I had a bug i was about to report, that made my diamond not ringing after editing an alarm, but only vibrating twice...

But As I was about to use my little fingers to post, saw that klaxon was updated just a minute ago... And since the update, seems to have no more this bug...

Grrr ! you're the fastest... you fix my bugs just before i share them...

I'm sure you've got a diamond version of time machine... can you share it with us ?

AppToDate Problem

Does anyone else have problems using AppToDate?

Klaxon is never shown as "out of date". It's always "up to date", it updates the version number entry to the most recent one but it was actually never updated/downloaded.

Couldn't find any help so far.

Thanks

Gordic
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NisseDILLIGAF:
Worked fine for me ... just updated Klaxon with it...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Noam23:
Yes, same problem for me too.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Araldwenn:
Works like a charm for me...

Maybe those having problems could try to find a common point together (ROM, softwares installed, etc...)...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] turt:
Hello, with the new version the problem still exists (changes from Vibrate mode to Normal with sound =0%), but now the alarm doesn't even make any sound... There's just the screen alarm popping up, but no sound whatsoever...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] turt:
No sorry, after checking again the alarm rings, but the problem with sound=0% is still persistant...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] gordic:
I'm on the stock ROM 1.93.401.2 WWE. Just did a hard reset and installed only AppToDate and Klaxon but it is still not working. :confused:

Could it be the ROM?

What ROM versions do you guys have for those it does work?

EDIT: AppToDate works flawlessly for other Apps like GSen and others.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] toblix:
I've tried this for a couple of days, and it seems great, but I'm having some problems/questions:

How exactly does Klaxon interact with the built-in alarms? Do they both use the same data?

Does Klaxon have to be running for it to work? Does it have to have focus?

What happens if an alarm is specified in Klaxon and Klaxon is not running at the specified time? Will the standard alarm take over?

Also a suggestion: Have a play button next to the sound selection link instead of playing the sound when it's selected.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
That's because I haven't made that change yet. My last version only fixed a scheduling problem. When I make the change, you'll see it in the list of changes for the new version.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
It writes to the clocks and alarms settings so you can see the alarm show up in the home page of touch flo 3d. It does not use or read from those settings. It has its own area in the registry that it uses. (HKCU\Software\Klaxon).

No, Klaxon does not have to be running. You can completely exit the application, restart the device, or whatever. It will automatically start and show the alarm when it is time.

As I said, Klaxon does not need to be running to start, so it will start automatically. The standard alarm will not take over, since it does not use Klaxon settings.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] daren1:
I seem to be having a problem where both the Klaxon alarm AND and built-in alarm goes off at the same time (minus the delay which is part of Klaxon). Oddly enough, the built-in alarm uses the default sound and the Klaxon alarm uses the .wav file I selected.

Anyone else having this poblem?

I am using the newest 1.93.831.1 WWE ROM from HTC and the latest version of Klaxon, 1.0.0.29

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] nuumuun:
thanks a lot for this app!! it works really great.

i found a bug tho ... if you set an alarm as not enabled (enabled checkbox NOT checked) the alarm still goes off.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Araldwenn:
Despite update, seems to have still the same problem... when making changes to an alarm, i have to soft reset my device in order to have the alarm working... forgot to do it and this morning, no alarm, hopefully, i still have my old Sony Ericsson that ring...

Can you send me your \Program Files\Klaxon\Klaxon.txt file please?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] markymoo:
im having an issue getting shaking the device to turn the alarm off

when i shake it when an alarm is active, it vibrates twice and stops, however it is in snooze mode, not "off"and re-activates 2mins later

ive checked the settings and its definitely got "off" checked under shake...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
If anyone experiences a bug with Klaxon, please post a description of the bug, steps to reproduce the problem, and attach the \Program Files\Klaxon\Klaxon.txt file to the post.

Thanks Koush for your great app... I'll donate you asap (but first need to come back from holidays! :p )

Koush what about interface trranslation? It would be a good idea if you split language resources from klaxon executable, so we can translate interface for you (and for us)! ;)

Sorry if already asked! :rolleyes:
