  • “Alarm Clock for Heavy Sleepers” also known as AMDroid Alarm clock.

    Yes it can shuffle music.

    Downsides; Not FoSS and not free, however it is a cheap one time purchase, no subscriptions. free version ads are just unobtrusive banners. I have Netgaurd blocking WiFi and cell with no issues.

    Features: (no idea what’s paid and not)

    • Incredibly customizable, I never knew there could be so many alarm options - but there are.
    • you can make different alarm profiles, so you only have to set up each “type” of alarm you want once. From there, you just set a time and pick a profile with your settings. Everything from this point on is profile specific.
    • pick any sounds on device (or a folder for random picks), set volume, vibrate, ingnore do not disturb, ignore headphones plugged in, etc.
    • Calandar integration. If you have a schedule that varies, you can set it up to follow that instead of set-days and times.
    • One time skip and one time adjust buttons. Need to wake up an hour early one day, got tomorrow off? Just use these to make the adjustment, next day the alarm will back to normal.
    • optional post alarm “are you awake?” notifications. Dismiss the alarm but fell back asleep? After a few minutes (user set time) it will ask if your awake. With no response, after some time the alarm will go again. (With a different sound or volume if you like)
    • snooze timmer can decrease each time you use it. First snooze 10 min, next is 8, then 6 and so on.
    • various optional challenges that I don’t use. Easy things like type out this text, to the WiFi signal must be higher than X (go stand next your router to shut off alarm).
    • location based settings - for example, morning alarms only go off at hone, break alarms only go off at work.
    • the list continues for some time, but I’ll stop here.





  • #1) “Hey bestie, I know a guy who will pay us to model for an ad about Canadian Oil.”

    #2) “okay…”


    #3) “okay, ladies this will be quick, put on these outfits.”

    #2) “why do I get the skimpy one, are you sure this isn’t another porno?”

    #1) “yes, I’m sure. He said its going on Facebook or something.”

    #3) “Okay, now #2 lean over #1, get in real close like your about to kiss her”

    #2) “…”






  • Anyone know if any alternative supports app-drawer paging? Ive tried around six in the last few days, and none so far have. I’m open to trying other workflows but the “catch all” dock isn’t it.

    I like to keep my home screen with a few widgets and the dock - stuff I want to see often, but not open an app for like weather and calandar.

    When I open the app drawer I see a page full of everything I use daily, then I can swipe to the other pages organized for work apps, games, and other crap.

    Folders don’t work as well because they usually sorted at the top of the screen and not quickly reached.

    I’ve tried some of the minimislt scrolling launchers, but 1) I dont remember the exact name of every app and 2) for me, having to scroll through a list 100+ apps to get to “outlook”(for work) is not faster than having a page of my 20 most used apps.


  • Well that really sucks.

    It sounds like the file permissions were changed/reset. As a not Motorola user, I have no clue any difference you may have, but I’ll try to help.

    Judging by your date of June 22, I’m guessing its been a month sence you got this, or was it just rolled out to you in the last few days?

    Here a few potential spots to start, theres a high chance you’ve done them already, but I’ll start here.

    • If you share a new folder to your device, does it ask permission to “access the folder”. You may just have to redo all your syncs.

      • if you where previosuly syncing to the system “root” folder, you can not. (The folder with “Android” and “Pictures”. You have to be in a sub-folder. (No idea how long this has been a thing, but will include anyways)).
    • Does sync thing (and your file apps) have any new required permissions, obviosuly ensure your running the latest version. It might require a reinstall to retrigger the permission diologues.

      • There is a backup option in the sync thing app, however I have never used it and thus have no idea how “complete” of backup it is.
