This has been a really confusing problem for me, and I still believe there should be a way to fix it instead of reflashing.

After my last flash (full flash with vanilla image) I had trouble with Alarmed, so I uninstalled it and deleted /var/cache/alamd/alarm_queue.ini (to completely remove all settings)

after that I tried to reinstall the app but that folder was never recreated, and ever since when I add a new alarm to the normal n900 clock it disappears on restart, I've tried to recreate that file but it doesn't seem to work, so what could be the problem ?

any help would be greatly appreciated, I still believe I don't have to reflash to solve this
