EVO as an Alarm Clock

Just a note, from my experience and reading, the clock will NOT stay 'on' if it's not plugged into a charger.

I have used Kaloer Clock.
 
"Good Morning" is a cool app for customized messages to wake you. I just started playing with it yesterday. Pretty funny. I don't think it offers the desk clock view though. And I'm not sure but it may be limited to one alarm at a time.
 
Got to the Market and look for Digital Clock and also the Digital Clock Widget. It has changable colors and is set for landscape only with alarms. Very easy to use. The widget is a home screen replacement clock that will directly opent the landscape clock on press.
 
Alarm Clock Plus (Free) is the most customizable alarm clock app I've found. It sealed the deal for me when I found it had the option to hide the icon for the clock in the top bar.
 
I use timerriffic to details up auto adjustments to my volume settings wifi and blutooth all based on my schedule. It works!
 
I wish Ageye would make G-Alarm work on Android!!! G-Alarm is by far the best alarm clock I have ever used, I loved it on my TP and TP2. I am going to email him and ask if he has plans to work with Android in the future...
 
I'm considering switching from a Blackberry to the Evo and have a question on alarms. I need to have multiple alarms with different ringtones that go off throughout the day. Will any of the alarm apps or the native alarm be able to do this?

Thanks!

Yes, native will and if you download the app zedge you can download tons of free ringtones and the alarm app will browse that folder you download them in.

I use my current phone as an alarm clock, but hate getting woken up by texts or drunk calls from friends at 3:00 in the morning. Does anyone know if the Evo would support turning off the ringer and still leaving the volume on for the alarm? It seems like a level of customization that we should be able to expect, but my current (three-year-old) phone doesn't allow for that.

Just put the phone in airplane mode.

Is there an app that let's only certain calls get through when it's on silent mode? I use the alarm but I turn it to silent mode to silence everything except the alarm.

I'd like to know this as well. My GF can't let go of her BB cause she has this option where she can completely silent the phone when she sleeps but it will vibrate when I call or it will vibrate when the alarm goes off.
 
I use Audio Manager and use it's widget to quickly adjust or view all 6 volumes: Alarm, Music, Alerts, Ringer, System, and Voice call volume.

Setting Profiles should do that, although I haven't actually tried it.

Create a group of contacts that you want to ring through, then in SP create a new Rule where the Condition is an incoming call (select the group you just created) and the Action is to select one of your Profiles that don't put the phone in silent mode. It should be that easy, theoretically, anyway.

I thought about this a few months ago, since I work at night and sleep during the day. But I don't trust any of the idiots I work with to not wake me up with bullshit, so I just leave it on silent for everyone. I should probably do something like that with my parents' number, though...

SP is a great little app, either way.

Thank you. Gonna try it out on my phone right now.

EDIT: I think it will work but I don't know if my GF can do this by herself lol. There are a few steps and she will need to buy the full version. The lite version only allows 1 rule and I can't get it to work with just 1 rule.

I use the app Timerific to set sound profiles.
