Alarm Clock Suggestions

[stalemate]

Hi folks.

I'm currently using Timely as my alarm clock, and it works well, but here's my goal:

I want my Atrix, semi-permanently plugged into its standard dock, to also display the current time, date, and perhaps some weather info, all the time.

Now the trick is, the screen should remain active - but not burn in a set image from a prolonged display activity. Perhaps something that moves occasionally on the screen, or has a moving background... there are no limits.

Does anyone have something to propose?

I'll be looking up some options myself as well, but word of mouth from a trusted source is always better.

I think the trick is not burning a set image-that's going to be hard to find. I checked out timely, ands it looks pretty nice. I was going to suggest double twist, bit I don't think you are going to see much of an improvement. You might try emailing the timely dev and mention your concern about the screen. Maybe he can create a floating mode where the clock would move around... Just thinking out loud...

I've been trying out Timely this week, and it does have a limited dimming option for nighttime display. I like your idea of contacting the dev though.

Next week I'll try another app and report back.

How about Desk Clock Daydream?

I've used Alarm Klock for several years. I've tried a few different apps, but always keep coming back to this one. It just works and does not have a lot of bells and whistles.

Since learning that the full version of Timely is now available, I'm playing around with the settings again and appreciating it even more as a semi-permanent nightstand app.

The last app I was trying was My Alarm Clock Free, but I found that the static display was too bright at nighttime.

That timely app looks cool. Gonna have to give that a try.

I think the most interesting feature for me is the cloud sync, where all my Android devices that have timely installed can sync up - and even all ring / be snoozed / be turned off from one device.

That's just nifty, pardon my age.

You're in good company.

Do you have a dock for your atrix? I just posted about this in the kernel port thread, but figured I would post it here too as it applies. I am running AtrICS with a webtop 3.0 enabled kernel by Krystian. It has a neat bedside clock function, which dims nicely and the clock moves slowly around the screen.
