Interesting problem with the alarms stuff that you guys are reporting. You shouldn't have to turn it on/off to resave the alarm, it will get updated any time you make any change and then leave the alarm screen (or choose another day). Did you see the gray "wait..." screen showing up after making your alarm changes and moving screens (that's when it does the alarmD stuff)?
Also it seems to be more of a strange sound playback issue/dbus issue with N810s based on what you guys have said here... i.e. LABAUDIO said that when he sets and alarm and closes the app, at the time of the alarm the app does automatically open again, but it doesn't "trigger" the alarm (alarm should light up display and start playing sounds/show snooze bar, etc). This means that AlarmD is actually working (alarmD is what causes the app to "automatically open"), but when the app opens it's not receiving the signal to actually go into alarm.
Can everyone who's having the no alarm problem please confirm this behaviour... that is, set an alarm and close the app, then let me know if 1) the app opens at automatically at the right time 2) the "snooze" bar shows up on the screen to indicate clock is in alarm and 3) does the sound play or not?
That way I can try to narrow down the cause of the problem and fix it.

Ciro's right, my N800 only has the one poor lonely blue LED, which has a completely different control interface, so no pretty flashing lights or anything for me to test with... all I did was take Ciro's existing LED code and trigger it from the setMood function. LABAUDIO, when you say
and of course if you exit the flip clock for going on another application...LED shut off

and if i open or close hardware keyboard...the LED shut off too
Uhh, is the LED supposed to stay on when the clock is exited?? That doesn't make sense to me... but I'm not an N810 LED guy, just poor old N800... in my mind, LED should go back to doing whatever it normally does if you're not in the clock app anymore, right?...anyone?...
As for the keyboard turning off the LED, don't know, my bet is that it's probably something to do with the native behaviour of the OS LED controls... i.e. if the LED was blinking for a notification/etc, does opening the keyboard stop it? I don't think there's much control over that... could be wrong, but never saw any other info about it anywhere; any thoughts guys?

Ciro, nice work on the updated graphics, one thing tho... and I ran into this when doing the alarms update the first time... I think we need a bit more order/organization. I.e. everything related to each alarm should be beside the digits, anything related to the clock settings itself could be below/on another part of the screen/another screen/whatever. I'm not a designer by any means, and your stuff is amazing, but I do think the organizing would help to make a bit more sense, as some things change per alarm, and some things are "clock global":
Per alarm settings: - Alarm On/Off
- Alarm time
- Alarm Sound
- Alarm Am/PM
- Loop/Once button

Global clock settings - 12/24 hour mode
- Mood
- About button

I like the strawberry on the bottom of the 0 by the way
