xD sorry for my second board, but thought of another addition which would be great to the default alarm program. My problem is if i use the same alarm ring tone, after a while i either dont respond to it, or it stresses me out. Is there any way to add another option to the list of 'random', that would cycle between them?
I would like my calendar reminders to be tied to my alarm rather than notifications. The problem with it being tied to notifications is that I don't want texts/emails waking me up at night, but I want an 8AM meeting (which I had this morning and overslept for ) to generate an alarm for, say, 6.30. On my nokia n95 that I had before this, I could set reminders for an arbitrary time before a meeting and it would generate an alarm with an alarm tone, not a notification style *beep* tone that does not repeat. So, what I want is actually pretty simple -
1) Decouple calendar alerts from notification volume
2) Be able to set an alarm reminder at some arbitrary time before a meeting
I've done a bit of research and there doesn't seem to be a satisfactory solution to something that seems like a basic problem to me. So, if anyone here has ideas, please let me know.
Tasker maybe?

While there's a lot of alarm apps I somehow can't manage to find one that has everything I want from a good alarm. So I'm hoping that some of my ideas will inspire someone to make the perfect alarm app!
what no alarm app has:
- increasing ring after snooze (as in the first time the alarm goes of it starts at 10%. Then I snooze it and when it goes of the next time it starts at 30%, making me wake up faster. And so on for the next alarms after snoozing)
- follow the ICS design guidelines
what it should also have:
- increasing ring (as in the alarm gets louder every x seconds it's playing)
- simple alarm screen with time, large snooze, small dismiss button
- use the android alarm feature (no seperate notification icon but use the android one next to the clock)
Look for AlarmDroid in Play Store.
I will post the link later in case you can't find it.

Should have all your requested features.
It's missing the first item on my list: increasing ring after snooze. It just has the normal increasing ring feature.
Thread moved to Q&A.

This last request is not possible. First off, there isn't a standard android alarm... many phones include many different default alarms... and of the many I've seen, none of them have a notification icon next to the clock, so I have no idea what you are even talking about.
Any alarm app is just that, an app, with its own notification icons and such. Your not going to find anything that is going to edit how your particular phone's default clock+alarm app works.

It is well possible. Almost all the alarm apps out there do it. The feature has been there since Cupcake!

Have you used Alarm Clock Xtreme? Not exactly what you are asking for but it does have an option where the alarm can start quiet and increase to a pre-set volume level. You also choose the length of time until your volume level is reached.
Seems similar enough.
that's the "normal" increasing ring that pretty much every alarm clock has
Ummm... except for the entire fact that the fade-in time is customizable and you are not limited in which sounds you can choose. Along with several other customizable features - like auto-snooze, limited number of snoozes, math problems [or other hoops] to dismiss alarm, etc. - in this app. When I was testing out alarm apps, it did not take up lots of RAM through the day and was very stabe.
So no, that is not

I do realize that a 'fade in' alarm is common, but I really enjoyed all the features built into Alarm Clock Xtreme. I figured I would share as you seemed to be seeking an alarm app. Guess you are really ony seeking someone to create your dream app - good uck with that.

there's loads of great alarm apps out there. feature-wise Alarm Clock Extreme is among them, though the UI is quite outdated and needs polish.
I prefer CM10s alarm app, but it's also missing the feature i'm looking for, else it'd be perfect
Hi guys,
I'm looking for an alarm app (either new or existing) that has wear support...maybe someone who is better versed can add wear support to KK alarm clock and put it up? Related is this bug report that has been marked 'WillNotFix": In a perfect world the app would also be able to be launched on the watch and alarms can be set from watch that are set on the phones main app....but at the very least I'd like to be able to dismiss alarms from watch (I'm imagining a screen like the one when you get a call, that would be awesome).
I'm not sure how much of this is possible, but at the very least, is anyone interesting in extending KK alarm app to include wear notifications for dismissing alarm while ringing?

I know this is an old post and hopefully you've found a solution. If not, check out Alarm for Android Wear:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nefastudio.android.nfalarm_wear
It does NOT use the built in alarms your phone, instead setting up new alarms. But you can set alarms on either watch or phone, and they will go off on either watch or phone, or both.
Hi!
I'm searching an app to convert a simple push notification into a full screen notification (like an alarm), but I can't find any app that do that.
For instance, my home camera notify me when it detects motion, but the notification is normal, like when you receive a WhatsApp message, I have so many notifications...
I want to be able to select what notifications (really important ones) should be converted into alarm type notifications
Don you know any app that could do something like that?
Thank you very much!
I'm on Android 8.0, MIUI 10.2
Hi again,
Any idea?
Could it be accomplished with Tasker?
Something like... when this notification is received set an alarm 5 seconds after actual time
Or... when this notification is received launch this app (a custom app only displaying a message and playing an alert sound)
