Make a folder on your SD card called "alarms" and place the tones you want to use as alarms in that folder.

Also, you can make a "notifications" and "ringtones" folder as well for, well, notifications and ringtones!

Is there a way to make the alarm louder? I've tried a few different ones from the Market, but none of them are louder than the Hero alarm.

When setting your alarm, go to chose your alarm tone and press the volume buttons on the side of the phone. Be sure it's all the way up.

I didn't know that was a different setting, thanks.

It was almost all the way, just one setting lower, so hopefully this helps. I'll know tomorrow morning whether it is loud enough for me or not. (I'm a VERY heavy sleeper.)

The other thing you can do is edit tones on the computer (haven't looked for a way to do it on the phone) so that the tone itself is louder as well....

I've never had an issue with this though, so I'm not sure what other options are available.
