I've tried a lot of calendar apps from the market, but I can't find any calendar that let's me set reminders the way I want them.
Example: to be on time for a meeting at 9.15 I have to wake up at 7.45, so I want to set a reminder alarm to wake me up 1,5 hours before the meeting.
In my old Symbian calendar I'd simply set the meeting at 9.15 and the alarm at 7.45.
But in Android's calendar I can't enter the reminder time. It only let's me choose between 1 hour before (too late) or 2 hours before (too early).
This seems to be a Google calendar problem. And therefore a general Android calendar problem, because most calendar apps are just frontends for Google's calendar.
This picture summarizes the problem:
Question: is there a calendar app for Android that let's me set an alarm reminder time, so that I can my my calendar ring 1.5 hours before the appointment? Or 1 hour and 15 minutes, or 5h45 min., or whatever time I want instead of being stuck with the inadequate reminder time options of Android's built-in calendar?
Of course I'd also like a widget to show my calendar entries on my home screen. And if the calendar comes with a built-in tasks/to-do list and birthday reminders that would be cool too, but not absolutely required. Syncing is optional, an offline calendar is OK too.

you have to set the alarm using number of hours offsets - rubbish i know
