Normally I'd have agreed with you, but I have seen other posts in other sections requesting more difficult ways of turning alarms off than just hitting the screen (apparently this one of the things people don't like about the built in alarm app in Maemo 5), so I had to take it a bit more seriously until a few voices come in to clarify. Personally I think the 15 digit sequence was over the top, but I'd seriously consider a 2 or 3 step process if people requested it as I can see if making sense for some people.

Maybe a user option to allow single tap snooze, double tap alarm off, but can turn that off so you must tap then look for a button that allows snooze or off? I can't read well without my glasses, so I would need to put them on, find the snooze button, then press it, and then take my glasses off again.
That's what I was thinking, perhaps a second option for it. The other point of course is that it can be controlled by the themes... also remember, if you don't want snoozing, just turn it off for your alarm(s). (On the alarm settings page, where it says "Snooze" "10 min", just press the "10 min" thing a few times until it changes to "Off"). If snooze is set to off, when the alarm gets triggered, the snooze button isn't shown on screen anymore so all you have to focus on is hitting the one big button on the screen to turn the alarm off.


I get a dependency issue with libalarm2. Any idea what suppository I need to re-enable?
Aww bugger, if you're getting that with the non-fremantle file then I goofed, let me double check things here and make sure...

Thanks,
