any body that still has the problem that the alarm sometimes doesnt go off until you turn your screen on or the alarm being late? Im searching for someone that could test some changes I have done to that part :)
[Android Apps and Games] linel90:
very nice thanks >)
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
do you have that problem? =) I have only got one email about this in the last month so it very few but I hope I can find the source! :) im using the exact same way as the original app so in some way android prioritize my app less...
[Android Apps and Games] Robdyx:
Sorry, I know someone who could, but she upgraded to a Desire Z some time ago. No more delays for her with your app ;)
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
Good for her! ^^ its so few so its hard to find anyone xD
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
Would be great if you could test this! I have optimized a lot of code and I couldnt do it more straight forward than this so if it isnt this that have made the alarm not work on a few phones then I dont know at all because now Im using it more straight forward than th original alarm app!!

myClock

EDIT:

I have uploaded a newer version than the file I posted in this comment before!

some new functions but I want you to test if the alarm works on phones that havent worked before but also phones it have worked on! I have rewritten a lot so want to test it! :) hope it works
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
to scarred to try or what? ;D

robdyx, did you try the first upload or the one I uploaded later?

the first is named com.alioooop.myclock.apk and the newer com.alioooop.myclock.test.apk

the first had some big problems so I hope nobody tried that one! if you had the first one just uninstall it before you install the newer one because the alarm can FC if you have the first one and then install the newer! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Robdyx:
I didn't try any, as I told you, now she has a newer phone and gave her Tattoo to her mother, if you want I can ask her to try it, but don't know when she could do it.

If you just want to know if it works in a N1 for example, I can help you!
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
Haha yes I know but because you thanked me for that post I had to ask ^^

yes please try it anyway so I know that I didnt brake anything :)

and would be nice if her mother could try it but seems to be much to ask (A)
[Android Apps and Games] Robdyx:
I'll test it ASAP.

I thanked you because you deserve it anyway, and I can't believe noone has done it yet, you are as every good developer should be.

I can't assure you I can do it, she doesn't like me so much....... :p
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
I do my best!! I haven't got so much spare time but I try to develop and please so many as possible :) I love developing and I have for a long time been really interested in mobile tech!

I have talked to many that said they hate me and my app and someone said I screwed him so he lost his raise but I think its so many out there that doesnt understand that developing isnt so f***ing easy and specially on many platform versions/phones!

But the people like you and so many others that have made me continue doing this for free and hoping that more can see the reality of the dev world! daily I get emails about how good the app is and how much they like my way of discussing with users and take requests and its a really big deal for a small developer like me! :)

right now I havent got so many donations and its fine but hence I know how it is to be a developer I try to buy as many apps as possible even if there is free ones! its to bad that others doesnt se it in the same way :) all the small devs should get more out of their work because its sooooooo many hours behind each app!
[Android Apps and Games] Robdyx:
I've tried it, works like a charm on my N1! Good work, man
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
nice! :) thx!

In next big release (1.7.0) I will add:

- individual vibration/tone in settings

- widget

- and maybe weather info as alarm icon, have to get more information on google weather api so I'm not sure I'm able to get it before next release :) I also need many images so it will take time :)

But we have to see if I need to release a small bug fix or something before that :)
[Android Apps and Games] pasee:
Thanks you verymuch
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
no problem!

One question to you all! what do you want from the future widget? :)

only the next alarm in a visually nice way? sizes? etc?
[Android Apps and Games] Robdyx:
Would be nice a small clock in bigger sizes, and maybe also a trigger.

Perhaps a 1x1 for only next alarm, 2x1 for alarm and a little clock, 3x2 for a bigger clock, next alarm and trigger and so on.

And if you will add weather, maybe you could end developing a great challenger for beatiful widgets!

EDIT: and a 1x1 small clock would be nice too. Maybe it could change it's color as it approaches to the time set in the alarm.......
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
I will start by doing two widgets I think! I think 4x1, 4x2 and 2x1 would be the most popular or what do you think?

1x1 is hard to get nice on phones like x10 mini because the text will be sooooooo small... if I do a 4x1 and one 4x2 at first would it be wrong or what do everybody think? =)

and would a clock be necessary or would it be better with more info about the alarm?
[Android Apps and Games] Robdyx:
OK, she has tried the apk you posted...... it rang 13 min later and she couldn't even stop it, she had to reboot the device :(
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
thats really weird!! did she try the one from market to? I have made some changes on that one and I have tried it on many phones now (including tattoo) and it worked really good! I wish I could test on that phone :(

Im really worried about android and the count of phone models... If manufactures cant get apps to work on all phones it will become harder and harder for developers...

1.6.3 on market is the latest and I hope it works for everybody else!
[Android Apps and Games] Robdyx:
I had a revelation today.....

For a new alarm, you can just drag the notifications and open MyClock, so this doesn't have to be in the widget. The widget has to make things faster, like, for example, a quick nap you know how long will it take, or something boiling.... things like that.

So my idea is that when you press the clock in the widget, it should open a dialog with minutes and hours remaining until the alarm goes off. It would create

and activate

one alarm more, just that, a reminder with no text and without repetitions. It would be perfect if it could be also deleted after stopping it.

What do you think about this?
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
Its a good idea and I will add something like this in the app soon :) but because the most people wont use the "timer function" I think that many would want the original add alarm in the widget but probably I will add so you can choose or something :) right now school is killing me so I have to think really hard on the best solution but thx for your ideas!! :)
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
New update! :)
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
The update didnt have all I promised (individual vibrate and tone in settings) but hope you people are happy anyway ^^
[Android Apps and Games] yojlik:
Is it me, or are the switches "backwards" now? Now that the on indicator color follows the app theme, I find myself mentally judging the state by the switch position, only I'd assume left is off, right is on. Unfortunately that's the inverse of what it is. I'd prefer either to reverse the switch or have the enabled indicator be more clear, like green for on like it was, or maybe grey out the entire alarm if it's disabled.
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
The on button have always been when the switch is on the left side :) the off is greyish as before and the on is the color of your theme :) is that so hard? I had a lot of emails about this so I changed it =)

now to something really sad... as some of you maybe seen the widgets havent worked on some phones so I had to do some changes.... You have the explanations in the market change log and in the app...
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
will do :)

download from the links in the first posts :)
[Android Apps and Games] Bluewall:
I can help for french too if you want! (I have nothing to do today :D)
[Android Apps and Games] mazany:
I would like to make Czech translation. Great app, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
I already have someone for this but good to know if he dont have time or something :)
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
thx just donwload the files from the first post and edit ;)
[Android Apps and Games] archangelugp:
Here are some English screenshots, going to try this out tomorrow morning :D looks good.
[Android Apps and Games] Menelaoxda:
Very good app, have you planned to add a clock widget?

I'll help you with the italian translation!!
[Android Apps and Games] malavan:
wow that was beautiful im gone try it and give you feedback.

bra jobbat.
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
Thx :D will add them to first post :)
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
sounds great!! tackar ;)
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
would be great!! :D download the files from first page and then send me a pm or mail :)
[Android Apps and Games] Ninsassin:
Hi, I like the idea of your app. What would be great though for me and maybe many ppl is to remove the option to snooze. I kind of don't like having to look at my phone to see if I'm hitting the right button early in the morning.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
didnt know people would like this even but I can do that as a option in the next release if I dont forget it haha ;) I have it written down though :)
[Android Apps and Games] aladin6:
Why not adding a notification in the status bar including the remaining time?
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
that would be really bad for the battery! :\
[Android Apps and Games] aladin6:
Ah okay, i use Alarm Klok so i'll uninstalling it !! I'll keep your app, and if there is some suggestions or bugs i'll give you a feedback ;) .
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
sounds good ;)
[Android Apps and Games] kelddaug:
Danish language.?
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
if you help me I would love to add danish =) just download the files in the first post and edit and then send me the file via mail or PM :)
[Android Apps and Games] kelddaug:
I'll do that, as fast as I can.! :) Tomorrow after work 15.30 your time.
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
sounds great!! :D
[Android Apps and Games] Fraction:
I have translated the xml's into Norwegian..

I'll hope it works on first attempt, I haven't used the app before so I can't say I know for sure. But it's probably good :D

Fraction
[Android Apps and Games] KukurikU:
thanks! i love it! how about the snooze time starting from 10 minutes and decreasing by 20-30% each time we use it?
[Android Apps and Games] Ninsassin:
Thanks a lot! now i can just press anywhere on my phone and dont have to worry about snoozing it.
[Android Apps and Games] thiago.albertodesouza:
My contribution

I can help with brazillian portuguese. :D
[Android Apps and Games] tomj777:
Regarding the remaining time counter... I think it would be a valuable option and but it would have to be an option because post the battery drain. It's a good option in my book because most of the time folks will have their phone charging by their bed at night.

Just a thought. I look forward to trying the app.

Good luck and thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] nicholasbgr:
you beat me to it :o
[Android Apps and Games] Menelaoxda:
Here is the italian translation.

This morning when I wake up, I thought a feature that could be interesting.

I really hate when the phone still vibrate after i pick up it from the table for snooze or dismiss the alarm.

It's possible to add an option for make the vibration off when the phone it's picked up?
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
first of all, thx for all of the translations, will look trought them tonight and add them :) Im in the middle of a relative big change so I cant just update it yet but If were lucky it comes tonight but I cant promise that :)

I will write the thing about the vibration down for the future, I start to have a pretty long list now ;)

and about the notification I can probably ad it but its not that high on my priority list :)

for the decreasing snooze its matbe something for the future but not that hihgh on my list :)
[Android Apps and Games] Menelaoxda:
Good job!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
Thx :-)
[Android Apps and Games] Robdyx:
Testing it, is really interesting, UI is gorgeous, but the 'Original alarm icon', the integration with the stock alarm, is really buggy in fact it doesn't ring in my N1 with that option active, and I really need it since my CM6 spontanously reboots in the night and only the default alarm starts with the system.

So in short, really appreciating the app, some suggestions:

-Fix the original alarm icon

-Improve a bit the ringtone selection system, I use the buzzer alarm in the original app, but can't find it in myClock

-Maybe, with the time, add more options like a flip-to-snooze or something like that would be amazing

Keep the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
thats odd because that icon have nothing to do with the alarm alert :O and when the phone reboots all the alarms get set auto so it should work.... like I wrote in the settings its very buggy and its because the original alarm app checks auto if the icon is set right so its overwrites my icon :S right now Im very confused about how to fix it :S

ringtone selection will get better but I have some other things to do before!

yes I have planned to look into flip to snooze etc!
[Android Apps and Games] wayferer:
Amazing! Keep it up :)

[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
right now I got problems with drivers so I hope I can fix it soon :\ I cant test my code now :\
[Android Apps and Games] devil-kin:
Here are the dutch translations. I can't figure out another way to get them to you...
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
thx :) this way works to! All the translators should get a applaud for their work :)
[Android Apps and Games] devil-kin:
Notify us if you need more translations, mmkay?
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
will do that :) next release wont need anything new translated because I am changing the way some things work for something better :) but the release after that I will probably need more :) now I just have to fix the driver problem...

[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
App updated!! :D
[Android Apps and Games] Menelaoxda:
This morning a strange thing happened.

I set the alarm clock at 6:45, but the alarm started at 6:51!

This can happen due the icon buggy feature?
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
thats really weird :S the alarm always rings at the right time for me and others that I heard:S

try update to the latest, and set a new larm, I havent changed anything about that but are you ure you havent got a long tone in or something else so you didnt hear it?

try set a alarm 5 minute forward, is it right then?

the buggy icon only affects the icon and the text at the lockscreen so it shouldnt be the problem...

do you have a customrom where you have clocked down the offscreen MHz? could be that but it shouldnt be that... the alerts goes of using androids alarmManager so it should know that it cant wait before doing the activity....
[Android Apps and Games] Menelaoxda:
This happen only one time. I've 2 alarm, one at 6:45 and the other at 7:05.

The second one started at the right time.

The tone it's long but I set it without fade. Usually the vibration wake me, not the sound ahahah
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
hmm okej.... the weird thing is that both those alarms are set at the same way and have no special conditions.... I cant think of anything that could push the first alarm forward.... set to alarms to ring in one hour or so and then see when it rings, if it rings wrong time then I have some serious thinking to do....
[Android Apps and Games] dilirum:
This is a simple yet amazing app alioooop! Beautifully done! Thank you for the work you've put into this!

I second these points. Only (minor) thing I'd add is the option for the date format of mdy.

Fantastic app!
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
I will add 12 hour option soon but first i have some things to figure out, like some phones doesnt ring direct because android doesnt have the CPU power to start it instant when the phone have been lying to long...

Some phones drops the cpu power when the screen is off...

But thx for liking it ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] Menelaoxda:
I've modify the time of both alarms. The first at 10.40 and the second to 10.55.

Both alarm rang at the scheduled time.

Other test, next morning with the real condition.
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
I have tested some and like I said in the previous post if you have set the phone to stop the cpu speed when the screen is of some phones then waits until it has the cpu power it needs... I will look into ways to fully wake the cpu! I think I maybe know a way :-)
[Android Apps and Games] Menelaoxda:
I haven't changed the cpu speed, but maybe the change it's in the rom.

Thanks for your efforts!
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
Maybe... I will do my best to fix it so hope I can do that...
[Android Apps and Games] Fraction:
Where do I change language in the new version? I can't find it under settings xD

Am I blind?
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
The phone should choose language auto by checking the language ön your phone :-) so if its italian you will that language :-) what language Do you want? Maybe its not implemented yet!

EDIT: ooh didnt see who it was from the mobile, it should just work... when I uploaded the app it it says that your language is in my app :S so it should work....
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
Update now =) some bugfixes!
[Android Apps and Games] Fraction:
I don't use Norwegian, I am all for the joined world wide comunity and therefor I have my hero on a WWE froyo ROM.

I then miss the option of choosing the language. To be able to "override" the default selected by the program at the install..

A feature you can implement?

- Fraction
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
I can look into that but I really dont know if its possible for me to override androids own choice because I have nothing to do with that... :\ I can look if its possible and if someone knows how to do, please tell me!
[Android Apps and Games] Fraction:
Can't you have some options:

if default, android choose

if norwegian set no_nb

if english set eng_gb

Or so? I haven't developed more then a cool "hello android" for the android. x)

Are still learning "real" programming.
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
Found a way but it doesnt work on every language :S You have to use Locale constants and norway didnt exist...

context.getResources().getConfiguration().locale.setDafault()
[Android Apps and Games] iLHaNroID:
Hej! Hv sent turkish translations to your gmail, as promised..

However, as also mentioned in my message, I have noticed that the strings file -which is still present in your first post- lacks a string/feature that is actually available in the newest version (have installed it from market yesterday), it is...

Open desk clock automatically = Öppna bordsklockan automatiskt = Masa saatini otomatik aç

Open desk clock automatically when plugged in for charging = Öppna bordsklockan automatiskt när telefonen laddar = Cihaz şarj edilirken masa saatini otomatik olarak aç

FYI...
[Android Apps and Games] sp3a12uk:
Alioooop,

My Spanish translation is completed and emailed to you. Would it be possible to include an option to select the language instead of replying on the phone's default? I speak Spanish but prefer my phone default to be English. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] pentiumao:
Translation

Hi, i translated string to simple chinese(zh-cn), please update for it, thanks.:)
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
Thx!! I will add it as soon as possible!

yes I know but I added the feature in last minute so I couldnt contact all translators direct so I will do all the changes in the string xml I need and for the next release contact all the translators so they can translate more than two strings :)
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
thx man! I will add it as soon as possible :)

Im going to look into that but right now I have found a way but that way didnt have all the languages so it didnt feel like a good solution :\
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
Thx!! I will add all files I get in in the next release, I may have to request more strings soon but I dont know all of the strings right now :)
[Android Apps and Games] Fraction:
That's typical.
[Android Apps and Games] _cino:
it's really a gorgeous alarm clock!

would you please simply add a "no dismiss" option? for me, it's too easy to dismiss the alarm in the morning...
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
how would you dismiss the alarm when you want that then? ;D then you have to FC the app ;D
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
yes that really suck.... but I will do my best to make this happen :) Everybody on the swedish forum www.swedroid.se that have followed this app from the beginning do know that when I try, I really put my soul into that so I can get so many users as possible happy :) But its pretty weird that the Locale constants doesnt have every language... maybe its possible to make my own or something
[Android Apps and Games] _cino:
what i really meant is "no so-easy-touch-to-dismiss button", maybe user can still dismiss the alarm by entering menus etc...
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
I can absolutly add that as a alternative :)
[Android Apps and Games] Robdyx:
Loving the app since the last update!

A little idea I had, what would you think of a 'fast alarm creation menu' by default with a 'extended options' menu? with it, you would only have to enter the hour of the alarm, and maybe something of the ringtone and snooze duration, but nothin' else (I really dislike the 'date' part), and pressing the extended options menu would reveal all the potential features. What do you think?
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
I will do something like this but first I want to fix/add some functionallity =)

Just wait and see ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Lucaryholt:
I would like to have the feature to set the alarm for next morning. Like the original clock, instead of setting the date evening.
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
like I said before, it will come :)
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
IMPORTANT UPDATE!! snooze was broke for some roms so I think I fixed it now

EDIT: still problems... someone that knows how to make the broadcastreceiver to wake and unlock the phone in the right way on every phone? maybe I have to use the 2.0 api... it maybe works better!!
[Android Apps and Games] Thomas_BA:
I love it, much better than the stock.

Forget the rest, just saw that function :)

I like to see one feature: Instead of removing the alarm i would like the possibility to disable the alarm, so i did not ned to setup a new one when the same (for example wakeup alarm) is needed again.
[Android Apps and Games] tomj777:
I noticed this morning (pre update) that the alarm started on max volume then dropped to min to start fade in.

Still think it's a great app. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] alioooop:
thats weird because i start the fade in before I start the song....
