Root ICS Clock?

My HTC Sensation 4g has a clock. It used to have a clock that had a timer and stuff. Now it only lets me set an alarm. Is this a new feature for ICS or is my clock messed up?

HTC updates your phone to Sense 3.6, which allows you to rearrange and remove tabs at the bottom of your clock application. I suspect you have removed the timer tab by mistake. You can try this to see whether it works or not: open your clock (through the app launcher or touch the clock widget on the home screen), long press any tabs at the bottom of the screen (let's say alarm) and it will let you arrange or add back any other tabs you have removed.

When I open the clock it goes right to alarms. There are no tabs anywhere. Even if I goto settings, there isn't anything but alarm settings. I even cleared the defaults and cache to no avail.

That's a bit weird, 'cause the 2 tabs world clock and desk clock cannot be removed. Have you tried long-pressed (about 3 seconds) the alarm icon at the bottom (your supposedly only tab now) and see if anything shows up? By right you should see the rearrange screen.

When I goto apps and open the "Clock" it goes right to the alarms. It shows a clock at the top left with the word Alarms. There is a "Checkmark" on the top right that is the "Done" key. Right below that there is "+ Add alarm" and then it lists the alarms I have set. Below that is just blank screen. If I hit the Settings button, I get the options for Desk clock, add alarm and settings. Settings takes me to the alarm settings for volume, duration, ringtone, etc. Desk clock takes me to the phone with a clock on it that gives the time, the date and a button that says "Set alarm". If I click anywhere on the phone it fades out the phone except for just the clock. If I click and hold anything, I get nothing. If I click and hold the alarms button, it does nothing but allow me to set an alarm.
