Hello All, new to this site. I just upgraded my Sprint GS2 to JB yesterday, and there are a couple of simple things that I can't seem to find on the new system:
There doesn't seem to be a way to change the default alarm tone (I just want to use another standard tone, other than the annoying "Andromeda"!)
Also, the standard clock on the home page is gone, I really use the "one touch" function to take you to the "create alarm" page all the time.

Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thx.

I FOUND IT! Click on the notification bar at the top, then on the time. (I changed my time to Atlanta from the NY default.) Next click on the city and at the top will be choices including ALARM so you can add. Many choices for alarm sounds, including Briefing (phone will read words you put in = scroll down) in addition to whichever alarm sound you pick & various sounds if you choose "smart alarm" to start a few minutes before the regular alarm. Kind of fun!
That may not be quite as direct as before, but not too bad.

Also the "simple alarm" widget, if you have a spot on a homepage, will show the next alarm event.
