Crappy Android has been improving over the last year as work has been done to update the various apps to use various final SDK APIs that weren't available when they were first written. This is often a fair amount of work, and means desired features or bug fixes can't be done, so sometimes it is slow going. If it is something you feel strongly about, many app developers would probably be happy to review contributions. Btw you can determine if an app is building against the public SDK by looking for LOCAL_SDK_VERSION in its Android.mk. A quick scan of Gingerbread shows that these app build against the public SDK: Calculator, Camera, DeskClock, Gallery3D, Mms, Music, Protips, QuickSearchBox, Tag, and LatinIME. For the original poster -- DeskClock is the new AlarmClock. The AlarmClock code has not been used since at least 2.2. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer hack...@android.com Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.
