Mapping G-Alarm, Klaxxon, 3rd party alarms to your alarm button on the home screen

If you use G-Alarm or Klaxxon, this might interest you...

this'll map your alarm app directly to your home screen.

Plucked this out of XDA...

extract the .rar to your desktop...and run
AlarmHackHomeTab.cmd

follow the instructions...and you should be good to go!

here is the link at XDA

the link was included in the first post...on XDA...which all can see the instructions. I included the cab only for the sake of easier download.

apologize for not recognising your slow friend in this forum...

PROPS to the "arrogant prick" 12aons..... ;p

Don't worry I was not offended in any way, I think it's cool that you like it. Hell it's a script and anyone can rip it and make it as if it were there own tool, GO open-source

! I am not on PPCgeeks very often, if you have alarm application requests post them over at XDA for quicker implementation

I do accept those requests unless there completely bizarre (and even then...)

Sorry for asking this but does anyone have a cab file for a Verizon HTC Touch Pro 2 running G-Alarm (installed on device- Program Files\ageye\G-Alarm) and TouchFlo 3D?

I tried running the rar file and when I opened up the cab file tool (creator) I got all sorts of error messages saying that this application doesn't support spaces and brackets etc. I hit the enter key and it just shuts down so I can't create the cab.

I would certainly appreciate any help with this.

Thank you

Run the .cmd file, and follow the prompts. When prompted at the end, you want to create a .cab file.

You then run this .cab file on your phone, and then it works. If you are running manila 2011.3030, there are problems. You can also see the manila file that it creates, find the exact same one on your phone (usually in the windows dir), DECOMPILE it (luatool.exe /d blahblahblah) replace the part that says "launchAlarm()" with whatever you need to.

I recommend extracting the manila file from .cab file that is created by the script, decompiling it -- and reading what it does. Then decompile the same file on your phone and read what that one does. Then modify your own file on your phone (because chances are, they're different.)

It's also a fantastic learning experience on how the phone works.

I'd love to get this to work, but I'm completely lost.
I can't even get the batch file to work.
Or get Luatool to detect the manila file I extracted from the Rom so I can decompile it to modify it..

to get this working (in concept).

Open your phone through active sync, goto the windows folder (it will take a looong time to come up) and get 6f3f0c16_manila. On MM_WAR, it's in windows, on other ROMs, it might be in windows/htc. By using activesync, and exploring the folders using your pc, it will go faster.

once you xfer that file to your pc, run LuaTool.exe /d 6f3f0c16_manila.

This will create 6f3f0c16_manila.lua, which you can open in a text editor.

Once you get this working, go find 461d3306_manila (this is what controls the action of clicking on the alarm button on the home screen), and do the same thing. Once you replace command with what you want, you have to RECOMPILE it (luatool /c 461d3306_manila.lua), THEN you drop that file back onto your phone, replacing the one there.

NOTE: if you eff up, just delete the file from the phone, and it should get reinstalled when you reboot the phone.

Attached is the file that will open up G-Alarm when you click on the alarm icon. This is only for MM_WAR (sense 2.5.2011.3030).
