Changelog
1.3.3:
DynamicAlarmIcon is now compatible with Lollipop (patches by @theknut).
Fixes for Timely on Lollipop (patches by @tonyp).
Added translations for German (by @theknut) and Slovak (by @Ja_som).
1.3.2:
More compatibility fixes for pre-KK devices.
Additional improvements to the TouchWiz style.
1.3.1:
Fix missing icon on start up.
Compatibility fix for 4.0-4.3.
TouchWiz clock style improvements.
1.3:
Better method to replace left side icons (for clock packages).
Added support for Google Clock and GentleAlarm (DynamicAlarmClock will also change their notification icons).
Compatibility fixes for Sense devices, by chrisch1974.
Better alarm change detection.
Added clock style preference: choose between the AOSP style and a TouchWiz-like style.
Added clock color preference.
1.2.1:
Quick fix for the alarm icon's space always being reserved (even when the icon should be hidden).
1.2:
Also modify DeskClock's (AOSP clock app) notification icons (DeskClock notifies you when an alarm is due in less than 2 hours).
Add short delay before changing the icon, should fix the issues with e.g. HTC's app which sends the ALARM_CHANGED broadcast before changing the NEXT_ALARM_FORMATTED system setting.
Always keep the right side alarm drawable (should fix issues with the icon changing back after a while).
1.1:
The hours hand will now move depending on the minutes too (this fixes e.g. "6:55" being seen almost like "5:55").
Added Timely support, should work with the latest Timely version (1.2.7). You may have to re-apply set alarms.
1.0:
Initial release.

Good mod. But can you make it so instead of the alarm clock it shows the alarm time in numbers? Or add it as an option? Thank u Btw.

So I changed my alarm but the hands don't change. Had to reboot for it to change.

Screenshot please

Would you mind adding the quantity [minutes/60] to the hour value so that it correctly moves the hand between the hours? For example, right now 6:30 has both hands facing directly down, whereas the hour hand should actually be at the 32.5 minute mark (to represent 6.5 hours). If that's not how you wanted it to be implemented, then so be it.

---

It works perfectly for me. Did you make sure to reboot?

---

Does this work with Timely by chance?

Found a bug: When i have few alarms and i set new before all - icon didnt change. I need to disable all alarms without that new and enable it again to have good icon.
But thats still Very good and funny idea!
Btw. If you wanna add setting. Please dont make icon in appdrawer like whatsapp Mods xposed module cus that module are very small.

I can't view that without logging in, and I don't have a box.com account.
You can just use a paste bin (e.g. bpaste.net or pastie.org) if you want, that's usually easier.
Also, what do you mean by "doesn't work"?

Maybe, but that's not a high priority for me.

A reboot is necessary after installing the module. After that, the hands should change when you set an alarm, to point to the *nearest* alarm.

TIAS. It should work with any clock app that causes the top right status bar alarm icon to show.

Are you sure that new alarm is set to go earlier than all the others?

---

@GermainZ, yes im sure.
BTW. You should add animation of change time. Like normal rotate hands in clock

Edit: Works after second reboot. Disregard the comments below.
Thanks for a prompt reply.
Sorry. Had no idea about having to have a box account - thought you could simply download the text file.
Here's the new link: http://bpaste.net/show/ffks4c8cL9CDfF3Movit/
By not working I meant showing unmodified alarm icon - it shows in the status bar, but the hands of the clock are stuck in the default position, not the time alarm was set to.
I rebooted the phone after installing your module. Do I need to do it more than once?
I have a bunch of other modules installed - could your module conflict with/be overridden by gravitybox? That's the only one that visually mods my phone, though it isn't explicitly set to affect the alarm clock icon in the status bar.

Lg g3....the alarm icon is not changed when timely is used to set the alarm. The icon is changed when the stock time/alarm app is used. However, in both cases, the alarm icon becomes unstable flashing on and off. I do have the g3 tweakbox module active as well.

---

Discreet (maybe a bit too much : the shape of the clock is a bit too "skinny" IMO) and elegant mod, that should/could be a stock feature. Working fine for me with a quick reboot (SGS4). Thanks. :good:

---

Loved the idea of this as I often forget the time I'd set for an alarm.
After setting an alarm it worked as expected with icon on right of status bar (where it should be imo).
I came back to tablet after an hour, woke it up and the icon had changed to standard default alarm icon. What's more after a while (possibly after another sleep/wake up) another alarm icon has appeared in the left notification side of the status bar - the normal alarm icon.
So now I have 2 standard alarm icons in the status bar, one on the left and one on be right.
I just did a soft reboot and your icon has corrected itself and the standard icon is still present on the left.

Works just fine, but seems to have a problem with clock hands for some times. It is ok for 5:40 and 7:15 but looks weird for 7:00, where it shows something like 5:55. There was another report about 6:30...
Edit: got the reason: you do not move the hour hand and my Samsung can set some smart alarm which starts a few minutes earlier with spherical sounds to gently wake you up. This makes 7:00 actually 6:57 and since hour hand does not move from its 6:00 position it looks like 5:57.

I'll look into it. About animations: maybe later when there's nothing better to do.

I'll look into supporting Timely. The flashing is stock behavior, it's not caused by this module.

This module doesn't touch the left side alarm icon. Maybe in future versions.
I'll look into the right side icon not being changed after a while.

This has been reported already and will be fixed in the next version, but I want to look into adding Timely support before releasing it.

I like the skinny look (compared to the stock icon look) - it provides room to add pixels for quarter or even hour ticks, though I would not really need this. What I would find funny is to have the regular clock in the status bar by replaced by an analog clock including a second's hand - with configurable colors for the hands - really only nice to have - but since the code for moving hands is already there (soon improved) and if OP needs another challenge, why not? It would also save a lot of space in the status bar, especially when you have added the seconds to the digital clock with another mod.

The flashing of the alarm clock icon in the status bar is not stock behavior. When I set any alarm with any alarm clock program on my lg g3, the icon appears in the status bar and is constant... It does not flash on and off.

Sure. Here's below the stock alarm icon in the status bar (SGS4, 4.4.2). I actually like the design of the clock much (shape, thickness) :
Now your alarm icon, set for 5:30, as one can see by the way in the widget at the bottom (showing the time of the next alarm, but without a dynamic icon there of course). My remark above shouldn't be taken as a criticism (always too easy in such cases), but rather the fact that, as far as I'm concerned, I regret that the stock icon design wasn't used in your mod.

LOL, just kidding. I was expecting this reply, happy you then.
Thanks for your work @GermainZ, and also for your obvious interest in the remarks expressed here. :good:
