Alarm widget

Smeeble

Newbie
Hi.
I've just upgraded from an S3 to the S6 yesterday. Loving the speed increase etc, but find a few things missing.
The main thing I miss is the S3 alarm widget. I know there is a widget on the S6, but it only allows for one alarm (that I can see). The S3 could scroll through four alarms, which was very useful for me.
I work shift days which vary around four different start times, so I could do with it back.
Any idea on a widget I can use that doesn't make me lose the Samsung clock, or a way to pull the widget from my old S3 and install onto my S6?

Thanks.
 
Boo, if there's a way to pull it from my S3 I will do, can send you it too then as it still works fine.

You could try it,May work.
Okay try this:
Download File Explorer FX from here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.fx&hl=en
Install it,Open and Go to: System>>>System>>>app, And find the alarm widget apk.
Hold down on the icon and a window will pop up,And copy it to your downloads file or sd card.
Back space to get to downloads folder and sd card.Paste in either folder.
Then put apk on s6 and install.

EDIT:Install while in FX,It has its own apk installer.
 
I'll post it later (or a Dropbox link to it at least) I could do with it on my S6. Something tells me it might not work though.

I'll find out later.
 
Gave it a go, tried both the 'Clock package' apk and also the 'Simple alarm clock' apk. Both of them fail to install, that's after I've allowed installs from other locations.
Found that the current alarm clock only allows a 5min snooze too, which is why I tried the entire clock package.

Yes, I couldn't get the 'Clock package' from a Galaxy S3 to install either. If any one wants to have a go or play here it is :

If you create a shortcut to your homepage for the clock, you can the click on that & view/add multiple alarms.
I'm on an EE S6, UK.
