Alarm time in calendar
 
Hi
Is it possible to set custom alarm time for an event in the stock, not the 15, 30, 60 min, as built-in?
I can accept any terminal commands, file editing, working on the system files. The only thing that interests me is the custom alarm time. I don't care about what should I do, but I wanna stay with the stock calendar.
Is there any possibility
Thanks in advance

It may be possible to use the calendar api to set a custom time for the alarm. Not sure, though. This is where I would start.

Another option may be to update the sqlite calendardb Alarms table directly and see if that works, though i have my doubts about this one.

Yet another argument for a decent open-source calendar front end to be writn a la the Open Media Player. Would that my programming skills were up to the task.

Personally, I love the UI of the built-in calendar. It's slick. It just doesn't expose all of the functionality in the backend API.

Writing a replacement would be pretty time consuming I think. There is a sample replacement here:

And I believe the kimi project is doing work to create a calendar replacement, but not sure the status on that. I downloaded the source and it seems to use the calendar-backend. The app didn't meet my needs so I didn't use it.
